How familiar are you with the Point Loma restaurant scene? Got any favorites? Any places you’ve been meaning to try? Well, on April 22, you’ll have the opportunity to do just that, when more than 20 restaurants, cafes and bakeries will offer samples of their finest and most popular menu items at the 26th annual Taste of Point Loma, hosted by the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.
“This is the largest response we’ve seen from Point Loma eateries. The excitement and response from restaurant owners has been tremendous,” said Matt Kalla, president of the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. “Whether you are a seafood lover, want to satisfy your sweet tooth or enjoy food and beverage pairings, you will find what you’re looking for at the Taste of Point Loma.”
Those food and beverage pairings are new to the event this year. For an additional fee, participating restaurants will provide attendees with the option to purchase a drink that complements the restaurant’s food sample. Even Rover is invited—another new feature this year is the addition of dog-friendly restaurants, marked with a paw print on the map of participating venues.
Participating restaurants include Bali Hai, The Wine Pub, Blue Wave Bar & Grill, Brigantine Seafood & Oyster Bar, EAT at The Pearl, Sweetaly Bakery, Miguel’s Cocina, Quarterdeck Bar and Dining Room, Vessel Restaurant at Kona Kai, Fiddler’s Green Restaurant, Old Venice Restaurant, Red Sails Inn, The Elegant Truffle, Mitch’s Seafood, Point Break Café, Umi Sushi, Northside Shack, Pomodoro Restaurant Italiano, Supannee House of Thai, Westy’s Antiques & Tavern and The Living Room Coffeehouse & Bistro.
Shuttle services will be available to attendees throughout the night. In addition, a discounted ticket will be offered to anyone going by bike. Also, Taste of Point Loma has teamed up with Uber in offering a first ride free with a promo code. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the Point Loma Association beautification programs.
Tickets can be purchased online at tasteofpointloma.brownpapertickets.com, at The Wine Pub, Brigantine in Point Loma, or Matt Kalla’s State Farm office located at 4148 Voltaire Street. For more information, visit www.peninsulachamber.com
