JRDN

Inside Tower23 Hotel on the Pacific Beach boardwalk, JRDN pairs an oceanfront dining room with a 70-foot wave wall that shifts color through the night. The kitchen works both ends of surf and turf: raw bar plates of jumbo prawns and stone crab claws, cuts from rib-eye to tenderloin, and a rotation of salmon, scallops and swordfish. An outdoor patio faces the boardwalk directly, and weekend mornings bring a separate brunch service until three.
