Kettner Exchange

Story

Kettner Exchange has joined the ranks as the latest culinary addition to the Little Italy neighborhood. From the people who brought Syrah and Analog downtown and Firehouse to Pacific Beach, owner and restaurateur Matt Spencer introduces Kettner Exchange, boasting progressive American cuisine and a unique menu of craft cocktails. This $3.6 million project will have multiple niches for dining and lounging, including the only rooftop lounge and patio in Little Italy with views to San Diego Bay.

Daily live music, great eats and distinctive drinks will comprise the Kettner Exchange experience out the gate. Award-winning Head Chef Brian Redzikowski brings sophistication and unparalleled experience to the restaurant. Redzikowski has worked for some of the best restaurants and chefs in the country, including New York City’s acclaimed Le Cirque 2000 and the 17 million dollar Yellowtail Restaurant in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. Redzikowski’s expertise paired with Bar Manager Steven Tuttle’s knack for creatively acclaimed cocktails will make Kettner Exchange a culinary destination in San Diego.

In a nod to San Diego’s early history, the restaurant is named after William Kettner, a congressman in the early 1900s credited with bringing the military to San Diego. The space will have a few nautical touches like an early 20th century map of San Diego Bay embellishing a darkened mirror on the wall and ceiling as patrons enter the restaurant.

“As we were designing Kettner Exchange, we sought to pay homage to Kettner's attributes by creating a dignified yet welcoming environment with subtle nods to our great bay and nautical history,” said Spencer. “We’d like to think many influential people such as Kettner will enter this place and enjoy an honest drink with a gratifying meal in America’s Finest City.”

Food was fine. Drinks seemed a bit pricey. Great views of Little Italy from our table. Trendy clientele. Interesting rest rooms. Easter bunny visited and left treats. Overall, a very cool place.

Have a food experience not just dinner. I’ll give you some hints. Get a reservation and show up 30 minutes early so that you can watch the artists in the kitchen (from outside of the restaurant) send out beautiful plates. Small and large plates from an ever changing menu. My wife and I started with cocktails, REAL creative cocktails that are not watered down. Our server snuck up pork belly buns from the bar - Delicious. We chose 4 small plates, Tuna tacos (not a do over), Sausage with daikon (Yummy) sorry no picture - it was gone quick. Quail w fried rice (Cute and yummy), Chicken and biscuit (all day/every day). Ended with Chocolate cake and banana ice cream (just the right level of sweetness). Great service, ambiance and food, a rarity these days

We were there for apps and each one was great! Great atmosphere. Would have liked to tried their full menu but one must reserve and we didn't know. Great place!

First time there. Was a great experience. Food and beer was great! Staff was attentive and very responsive to our needs. We were a party of 8. I believe I can speak for all of us that we enjoyed our time there. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent small plates (that's all they had on the menu while we were there.) Two small plates per person is a good amount for dinner. Highly recommend tuna pizza and the duck meatball, as well as the lavender based cocktail.
