Mother and son duo Sheila and Brandon Fortune are excited to bring their Southern roots and Georgian inspired cuisine to San Diego, where they’ll be opening their new restaurant, Aquamoreé, at 1250 Prospect St., suite B10, this week. Aquamoreé signed a five-year lease this October and will be replacing the former tenant, Tikul Restaurant. Chef Brandon, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, came to San Diego in 2007 when he was recruited by The Four Seasons Atlanta to manage the pre-opening culinary team for a new resort in Del Mar. Over the next three years, he fell in love with San Diego and so did his mother, Sheila. Both decided to join forces and open Aquamoreé in La Jolla. The menu will feature contemporary Southern tapas infused with Southern California influences. For more information, visit www.aquamoree.com.
