From military town to gastronomic hotspot! We had a feeling Jeff Gordinier () would be a fan of the charmingly weird little slice of west coast that is Oceanside — there’s just something so magical about the coastal city with its culinary community that’s so tight knit it’s really more of a family. And when you have so many cheerleaders in your corner, that’s when extraordinary things happen, just like it is right now in O’side! 💪🧑‍🍳

It’s amazing to see how far the city has come in the past decade since we started working with restos in the area! So proud of @24.suns for being included + and on the features in Jeff’s top six picks! Oceanside is cooking and it’s a marvel to witness. Do yourself a favor and head there for your next dinner date — you won’t be disappointed!

Pssst…wanna hear a secret? Hollywood icons are in San Diego as production is officially underway for , a new comedy starring from Saturday Night Live and cult-classics like A Night at the Roxbury!

The movie is being filmed and will be set entirely in San Diego, based on the book “No Air Guitar Allowed” by writer and producer Steven Mark. We had the pleasure of helping him launch the book in 2007, making this a full circle moment! 🤘

With just the right blend of humor, nostalgia and heart — the movie will follow a lifelong friendship, live music culture and the fans who make every concert unforgettable, all set against the backdrop of America’s Finest City. A story filled with community spirit and rediscovery, directed by Joseph Nunez (), making his directorial debut but best known for his roles in movies like The-40-Year-Old Virgin, Bridesmaids and Superbad.

We’re so excited to welcome the Concert Heroes team to the PlainClarity family! 🩵

Psst…we have a new crush. Little Fawn Bar & Kitchen is nestled inside O’side’s historic Fin Hotel and offers an intimate escape with a warm, sultry vibe and mid-century flair. ✨ Think speakeasy meets lounge, where ‘80s rap sets the scene and owner Jon Rhinerson himself is greeting guests at the door, checking in and adding a personal touch without hovering. Rhinerson is the former owner of Encinitas’ Échalé! and, in a previous life, a recognized designer who dressed celebrities including Usher, Hayden Panettiere and Jack Osbourne.

The friendly neighborhood energy is complemented by a California-meets-Mediterranean menu, crafted from seasonal, local ingredients. Signature dishes include Beef Cheek Cavatelli, Fennel Sausage + Mezcal Mussels and a crowd-pleasing Roasted Butternut Squash with salsa matcha and honey Greek yogurt.

A key player in the menu is Little Fawn’s inimitable executive chef , a Louisiana-born culinary talent who began cooking at eight and worked his way through renowned kitchens including La Valencia, Fox Restaurant Concepts and Échalé! Alongside the food — a killer cocktail program with unique and premium selections to bring things full circle and solidify as a must-try spot not only for dinner but brunch, too!

We’re stoked to welcome Little Fawn to the PlainClarity family! 🩵
