Graves sets the standard for innovative cuisine by using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients in his signature coastal style. Grass-fed meats, carefully sourced sustainable seafood and herbs from Jsix’s own burgeoning rooftop garden shine in Graves slow food inspired creations. The stylish and glowing atmosphere at Jsix is as enticing as the food. An illuminated bar and open kitchen bustle against a backdrop of stone walls, metal grillwork and clusters of flower-shaped plaster relief along the lofty ceiling. Eclectic touches like Moroccan fez caps and handcrafted lamps playfully accent the space to create an inviting atmosphere for native San Diegans and visitors alike.
