Location: 2929 Fifth Ave., San Diego
Type of restaurant: Desserts
They stipulated: You have a sweet tooth, and you're willing to momentarily forget about that diet of yours
What we ordered: Citronesse slice ($6.95), two Lion Coffee vanilla macadamia ($2.50 each)
High point: Mmm, dessert! I could live here. Desserts like White Chocolate Linzer Torte, the Passion Fruit Ricotta Torte, Triple Chocolate Mousse and the Truffe Framboise were enticing... but Maria and I were in a lemony mood, and the the Citronesse more than delivered. Also, Lion Coffee, straight from Honolulu, hit the spot.
Low point: It's in San Diego. Can't get down there too often. (And the coffee may be a little too much on the high side.)
Overall impression: Pat and Susan introduced us to Extraordinary, and it didn't disappoint. Pastry chef Karen Krasne avoids obvious desserts and dives in with some pretty amazing stuff. The place as a whole is simple and nice, an excellent evening spot. And yes, I know, this is our second dessert Rate-A-Restaurant post in a row. What can I say, we love to eat!
Chance we will go back: If we find ourselves back in San Diego, how can we not go back?!
