San Diego's modern American kitchens favor wood fire, rooftops, and an easy indoor-outdoor feel that suits the climate. Kettner Exchange runs a tri-level rooftop dining room on Kettner Boulevard in Little Italy, while Mister A's looks out from the 12th floor in Bankers Hill. Trust Restaurant brings Brad Wise's small-plates wood-fire style to Hillcrest, and Galley at the Marina works the South Bay waterfront down in Chula Vista.
