Attention at Wildflour has always leaned toward the shared table. A piece of bread passed between hands, a salad that gets picked at from every side, a sandwich cut in half without asking.

Starting this week, we’re offering a pre-fixe dinner for two, every Thursday, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Live music starts at 5 p.m. A few courses, meant to be shared. Some of it familiar, some of it not. We’ll bring it out, and you’ll eat together. That’s the whole idea. We hope you’ll come hungry, and bring someone with you. $78 for two (2) guests one (1) bottle of wine, choice of: - pinot gris - cava - felino babernet - gibbs cab sauvignon - pinot noir - rosé - j.brix one (1) salad, choice of: - mixed greens - little gem two (2) sides, choice of: - bread + butter - giardiniera - olives - brussels - broccolini - cauliflower one (1) entree, choice of: - prime rib - chicken Visit: https://www.opentable.com/r/wildflour-delicatessen-san-diego?ref=1068 Wildflour on Instagram
