The Gaslamp Quarter, one of the most sought-out destinations in San Diego, finds new restaurants opening just about every week. A central theme is the food. Here are some of the latest additions to the district, including a national chain and an eatery\/nightclub. \u2022 The Lincoln Room, 901 Fourth Ave., is just that: Abe Lincoln\u2019s room. Designed to combine characteristics of a traditional log cabin \u2014 complete with large logs trimming the sides of the building \u2014 with a classic, old-timer\u2019s bar, The Lincoln Room serves comfort food with a twist. House favorites include the deconstructed pizza with roasted garlic, tomato chutney and goat cheese, and the mac and cheese with bacon. Just a few weeks old, the red leather booths laced with shiny gold buttons still shimmer with newness. \u2022 Don\u2019t let the name fool you. Rendezvous, at 587 J St., isn\u2019t associated with the Del Mar favorite of the same name. Rather, this downtown eatery and pub serves up homemade pastries, cocktails and grub inspired by the Parisians. This establishment is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offering locals freshly-created gourmet French cuisine including rotisserie sandwiches, soups, pizzas, fish and pastries. Open since New Year\u2019s Day, the Gaslamp Rendezvous is becoming a new tradition on Sunday mornings with its French roast coffees and fresh pastries. \u2022 The Hopping Pig, 734 Fifth Ave., advertises itself as a gastropub, otherwise known a restaurant\/bar that serves high-end cuisine. While the menu for both the beer and food is slim, The Hopping Pig doesn\u2019t skimp on flavors. Oddly enough, the most memorable dishes don\u2019t all include pork. That being said, the d\u00e9cor pays tribute to its namesake. The Hopping Pig features outdoor seating and a bar where guests are offered fried calamari, fried pork belly and ravioli. Local beer includes Green Flash and Julian\u2019s Hard Apple Cider. \u2022 For those who call Gaslamp home, Voyeur might already be a favorite jaunt on the weekends. Opening just a few days ago, the nightclub has turned its attention toward food in a place called Revolver at 755 Fifth Ave. Diners can enjoy complimentary entry into the nightclub late at night following upscale dining via executive chef Kari Rich, who turns Spanish tapas into another nouveau feast. Featuring items such as the grilled cheese with gouda and apricot spread, and filet sliders on a Hawaiian roll, local and organic ingredients are Revolver\u2019s favorite partner. \u2022 Wet Willies, 555 Market St., might be new to San Diego, but it\u2019s a franchise that\u2019s been all over the country for years. One thing it is famous for is the adult slushie. The attraction for the place and its icy blends with names like Monster Melon and Monkey Shine is only accelerated by its standard bar fare. On the full menu, guests can find items like the base model burger, tequila shrimp salad, BBQ breast sandwich and chicken wings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
