I spent this past weekend in San Diego and dined at the (somewhat new) Quarter Kitchen at the Ivy Hotel located in the trendy Gas Lamp District. I’d heard good things and it was highly recommended by The Hard Rock. Normally I stay away from “fine dining” in hotel restaurants, but since amazing food wasn’t the focus of the evening (we were more concerned with finding a dance club), I thought why not? Well … unfortunately, we found a multitude of reasons … as to why not.
