We'll be closed on Super Bowl Sunday to root for our respective teams. Don't worry, we'll be back on Monday!

Today is the last official day of San Diego Restaurant Week. Nope, no surprise three week extension. And it was a good time - lots of smiling faces, plates licked clean, people falling over in booths. So, THANK YOU #SDRW diners for choosing to eat with us during restaurant week. We know it wasn't because you lacked options! We feel pretty lucky to know you, to have fed you and (just maybe) to have served some of you a little too much to drink.

For reservations for tonight, please call Whisknladle at (858) 551-7575 or visit www.opentable.com. San Diego Restaurant Week returns in September! Mark your calendars...

All of us over at Whisknladle wish you and your family a wonderful & safe holiday. Please know that we will be closed on Christmas Eve & Christmas day.
Very best,
WNL Team
The holidays give us every right reason to throw inhibitions to the wind and indulge in those once-in-a-lifetime temptations that we would otherwise cast a critical eye over, like those second helpings of dessert or, in this case, a $275 meal. At least, that was our rationale when we decided to pair the season's most coveted delicacy with a celebratory holiday dinner that would boast an 8-course black & white truffle menu with wine pairings. Yes, it's our most decadent supper club yet. And, tips generated at this dinner will be donated to Hurricane Sandy relief.
We're pleased to invite you to December's highly-anticipated supper club event. Seats for Saturday, December 8th, have already sold out. Thank you all who pre-booked your spots! We do still have seating available on Sunday, December 9th, at 7:30 p.m. To make your reservation, please call Whisknladle on 858.551.7575. Reservations are required; a credit card will be taken at the time of booking.
For a preview of what to expect, please delight in the menu below!

Happy Holidays to you and yours. We hope to see you soon!

There are some meals that refuse to be forgotten. There are the few great ones that seemingly only come up in futile social conversations when a friend demands, “Last meal before you die – go!” Or, as it happens, when you’re sitting at a table writing a menu based on a meal that was so inspiring it demanded to be shared again to a new audience.
That’s Cibrèo.
Cibrèo: (n) a string of three restaurants that share the name – a caffé, a trattoria and a ristorante – in the heart of Florence, Italy, and all with one thing in common, Chef Fabio Picchi.
You won’t find pasta or grilled meat on the menu, if they had one. Instead, waiters describe traditional Italian dishes, inspired by antique recipes, tableside. And, when guests order, anticipation culminates in a chatty dining room intimate enough to have all diners assuming the food coming out of the kitchen is their own.
Join us as we celebrate food inspired by our own experiences at Ristorante Cibrèo. An unforgettable six courses with wine pairings for $105 for two nights only – October 20th and 21st. Reservations are required: 858.551.7575. Guests are asked to arrive promptly at 7:30 PM.
We look forward to having you over for dinner.
