The first restaurant for Chef Brian Malarkey, San Diego’s award-winning chef and past finalist on Bravo’s “Top Chef 3 Miami”Searsucker opened in July 2010 as a partnership with nightlife magnate, James Brennan owner of Stingaree Restaurant & Nightclub.
Located in the epicenter of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, on the corner of 5th and Market, Searsucker’s menu of New American Classic cuisine emphasizes approachable and unpretentious food that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Though the menu does not specifically focus on seafood, the SEA in Searsucker pays homage to their love of the ocean and coastal location. Craft brews and artisanal cocktails made with local and unique ingredients compliment the menu, which is also local, sustainable and house-made.
Nationally acclaimed designer Thomas Schoos has created a space that is laid-back, comfortable and worn… yet classic. Not unlike the seersucker, which is a paradox in itself, a smooth and rough material, originally worn by the poor, then adopted by the rich and now accessible to all.
