DOWNTOWN — Katsuya by Starck is celebrating its first anniversary by adding a cool new surf-and-turf dish to the menu, which combines seared Wagyu beef tenderloin and locally-caught, torch-charred uni with a side of pickled kumquats and pea shoots from Suzie's Farm. [EaterWire]

OCEAN BEACH— A tipster turned us on to a just-opened coffeehouse in a converted 1924 Craftsman-style house on Voltaire Street. Beyond coffee and tea, Te Mana Cafe serves baked goods, salads, soups and sandwiches plus some Hawaiian-style grinds like shoyu chicken and Kahlua pork. [Eaterwire]
