Next door to the Ken Cinema, San Diego's coolest movie theater, the Kensington Grill is a lovely and sophisticated restaurant in this hip Adams Avenue neighborhood. For a special dinner and a movie, eat here first. The menu is an eclectic mix of California cuisine with touches of Southwestern, Italian, and Asian flavors. Start with a fresh salad, maybe the baby spinach with walnut and raspberry vinaigrette. Entrees run the gamut from crab cakes to chicken and Andouille sausage.
Desserts often feature a twist on an old favorite such as the banana bread pudding.
