A new Searsucker family restaurant has opened up in Point Loma. Gabardine, a vibrant entry with pinstriped orange and white awnings, chalked figurines of synchronized swimmers on the wall and a menu full of seafood and Portuguese style stews.
Marinaded olives, stewed in a tomato and sausage flavored sauce...
Spicy scallop ceviche, whole scallops, diced peppers and robust tomato:
Large mussels bakes in a garlic, white wine and leek filled sauce. Hints of salchica, grilled bread and zesty grilled lemon... fabulous
Cozido a portuguesa, a rich stew with potatoes, sausage, garlic and seasonal vegetables.. served with grilled bread for dipping!
roasted white seabass, with crispy screen, accents of baby tomatoes and greens:
A seafood filled portugese stew.. large shrimps, potatoes and kale:
For dessert, chocolate mousse with olive oil gelato and toffee crumble
the almond pie special of the house, light and zesty, crumbled crusts with strawberries to cleanse the palette
With many options to sample and a seafood focus, Gabardine is a off to a good start. Busy and loud, don't expect a quite dinner conversation as its one of new hotspots in town!
