Hake Kitchen & Bar takes inspiration from global brasseries—focusing on fresh seafood with Mediterranean, Latin-American and Asian influences. The pristine, airy space features metal, wood and white marble accents, creating a relaxed atmosphere for communal dining. The menu features a range of shareable dishes sourced from both sea and land, from small snacks and tiraditos—lightly dressed sashimi-style preparations such as sea scallops in citrus-chipotle dressing, olive oil and sea salt—to larger appetizers. The full bar boasts the largest mezcal selection in San Diego. 1250 Prospect St., La Jolla. 858.454.1637. thehake.com
