Small menu, written weekly, cooked honestly.

02 — Why the locals keep coming back
Chef-driven. Neighborhood-priced. Honest on the plate.
The Tenets
Chef Marcus Ortega
Marcus spent four years as sous chef at Addison before opening Harbor & Bone in 2019. He still writes every menu by hand. He's in the kitchen six nights a week.
Menu changes weekly
Every Tuesday the menu gets rewritten around what showed up at the market. That means regulars never get bored, and the kitchen never coasts.
Walk-ins welcome
Reservations fill up, but the bar stays first-come. Ten seats, full menu, same wine list. Show up at 6 and you'll probably find a spot.

“The cavatelli was the best pasta I've had in San Diego. Marcus came out to say hi — felt like eating at a friend's place.”
Elena R., Bankers Hill
“Walked in on a Thursday at 7, got two bar seats in ten minutes. Wine pairings were spot-on. We're already planning to come back.”
David K., Downtown
“Atmosphere is warm and unpretentious. Food is legitimately chef-driven without the attitude. This is our new anniversary spot.”
Priya M., Hillcrest
