A New Restaurant in a Classic Downtown Gaslamp Quarter Setting

| September 1, 2025 | 0 Comments

Downtown just got a new reason to rise and shine. Witherby, located inside The Beau Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, is serving breakfast and brunch daily in an elegant, timeless setting that nods to the neighborhood’s rich history. Guests can also return later in the day to enjoy refined lunch and dinner offerings in the same inviting atmosphere.

Executive Chef Robin James has crafted a breakfast lineup as elevated as the setting – think crab cake Benedict with rich hollandaise, crispy duck hash with whole grain mustard, and indulgent lemon and blueberry pancake stacks filled with lemon curd and topped with blueberry buttercream. For those with a sweet tooth, the charm’d French toast – brioche soaked in Lucky Charms cereal milk – is a fun twist on the classic you know and love, while staples like the steak and eggs or the reakfast Beau-rito satisfy heartier appetites.

Paired with signature brunch sips like the French 86 with Empress Indigo Gin, a pineapple-ginger mimosa, or a Bloody Maria, dining here is a reason to linger. With the Gaslamp’s historic streets and shops just steps away, it’s the perfect start to your day downtown.

That playful yet elevated spirit continues through midday and dinner service, where chef-driven plates set the stage for lingering conversations and evening pours.

he Beau Hotel is a boutique property located in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp Quarter, offering guests an experience that blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Originally constructed in 1886, the building’s rich history is woven throughout the hotel and its on-site culinary destination, Witherby. Witherby serves a California Modern-inspired menu alongside inventive, beautifully crafted cocktails in a dark, gilded setting that invites guests to slow down and savor the moment.
