For reference, Jen and I have been to Market Del Mar twice in the last few months. Food and service were impeccable both times.
The exception that proves the rule. Whatever that means.
Possibly an exception, possibly the rule. Who knows
I am in agreement with you that there is a lack of high end dining in San Diego (relative to the population). I also agree that the best "career" mangers and servers will gravitate toward markets where there are more opportunities (and mo money). This theoretically could lead to a shortage of quality food service professionals in our fine city. But lets face it (and with all due respect), managing a restaurant is not rocket science. There are plenty of quality and motivated individuals willing to work in the few high end establishments here. The example at Market would seem support that. I always encounter excellent service at some restaurants (Addison and Tapenade for example). Not so much at others (not exclusive to San Diego). Assuming a pattern and not an isolated incident, I would assume that Juniper and Ivy would be able to and strive to attract excellent front of the restaurant staff. But we all know what happens when you assume....
