The Cedros Design District is a walkable stretch of design shops, galleries, boutiques and live music. Encore is built as its front door, a place where sushi, music and art share the bill. Given the neighborhood, artists may drop in for impromptu sets, and Encore plans to hang work by Cedros Design District artists.
“Cedros is where North County goes to find something original,” West said.“Encore is the first stop where a night on Cedros begins. Whether guests are headed to the beach or a show down the street, we hope they'll stay for the encore.”
West describes his partner in plain terms.“James is one of the top sushi chefs in San Diego, if not all of Southern California,” he said.“His precision and his read on each day's fish are why I wanted to build this restaurant with him.”
At Encore, every piece is cut to order in front of the guest, and the sushi bar is the front row. Bluefin tuna, chu-toro, New Zealand king salmon, Hokkaido scallop and uni anchor the nigiri and sashimi. The menu's signature rolls are inspired by music. La adjusts to each day's catch, paying close attention to the weight of the rice, the thickness of the cut and the balance of sauce.
“Encore is the culmination of 25 years of creating,” La said.“Sushi is a live performance. The counter is our stage, and every piece is cut the moment it's ordered. The signature rolls are where we riff, but it always comes back to the fish.”
