Located on the mezzanine level of the Kimpton Alma San Diego, The Desmond is a culinary destination with expertly curated
California cuisine by Chef Jason Neroni, featuring a rotating menu designed to highlight each season's best proteins and produce.

We host events of all sizes, from milestone birthdays and anniversaries to engagements and weddings.
