Tucked into a wine shop off the 101 in Solana Beach about 30 minutes from Downtown San Diego, Long Story Short serves beautiful dishes and flavor combinations that highlight the immaculate local produce. You’ll probably try something different every time you go, since the menu is based on the chefs’ weekly farm trips. For example, you might eat cured yellowtail with figs one week, and brothy mushroom tortellini with lemon thyme oil the next. The space works well if you want to dine solo or with a date at the bar, but with just a few large tables, you should save your group outing for somewhere else.
