]]> Blue Bridge Hospitality has emerged rather quickly as one of the top restaurant groups in San Diego. First they colonized Coronado with five concepts (MooTime Creamery, Village Pizzeria, Lil’ Piggy’s Bar-B-Q, Coronado Coffee Co.) and then they announced a huge Ferry Building-esque project called Liberty Public Market. But right now, the focus is on Stake. Set to open Nov. 6, their riff on the modern steakhouse takes over the second-floor perch in Coronado formerly occupied by Ristorante La Terazza. The team is really, really impressive, with exec chef Tim Kolanko (longtime right-hand man to Jeff Jackson at AR Valentien), wine director Greg Majors from Tom Colicchio’s Craft Restaurant, and pastry chef Francis Laureano (Bottega Louie in L.A.). This won’t be your father’s rich mahogany, leather and tuxedo steakhouse. It’ll feel more like now. Expect dry-aged steaks, raw and cooked oysters, plus imaginative dishes from Kolanko. We’ll get to the food later. For now, take a look at the first photos of Stake.

The post INCOMING: Stake appeared first on San Diego Magazine.

]]> If Blue Bridge Hospitality wasn’t officially the most ascendant group in Coronado, they are now. Blue Bridge is the young group behind a  Leroy’s Kitchen + Lounge, plus Village Pizzeria, MooTime Creamery, Lil’ Piggy’s Bar-B-Q and Coronado Coffee Company. Earlier this year, they brought on one of the city’s top chefs in Timothy Kolanko as their corporate consulting chef (“TK” was the longtime second-in-command at A.R. Valentien under Jeff Jackson). And now they’ve sealed the deal on their next concept for Coronado—a modern steakhouse called Stake.

Going into the second-floor spot formerly occupied by Ristorante La Terrazza (1309 Orange Ave.), Kolanko says Stake will be a modern steakhouse. “There’ll be no mistaking that it’s a steakhouse,” explains Kolanko. “But it won’t be a traditional, old stuffy thing. We’ll put a grooveier spin on the food.”

The search for a chef to work with Kolanko on the concept is on. Stake’s projected open is March, but predicting restaurant openings is serious tea-leaves voodoo.
