What's Next Anticipated to open this month on Wall Street is Marisi, a new Italian concept that's been two years in the making, featuring handmade pastas and woodfired dishes complemented by a thoughtful and vibrant cocktail program led by Bar and Spirits Creative Director Beau du Bois. The bar will boast homemade limoncello, an Italian Pilsner brewed specifically for Marisi, and a selection of more than 30 brands of vermouth. Diners will be encouraged to conclude their meal like true Italians do, sipping espresso that's Marisi's own proprietary blend. marisilajolla.com La Jolla siblings Hailey Waitt and Max Waitt are preparing to unveil Orli, a hideaway for discerning travelers that pairs the allure of a boutique hotel with the spirit of a homestay. For the debut location of Orli, located across the street from MCASD, the Waitts purchased the George Kautz House, originally designed-built in 1913 by California modernist architect Irving Gill with gardens designed by the iconic landscape architect Kate Sessions. The siblings are working with Axon Architecture to restore the landmark building and thoughtfully update it for a new era, while at the same time maintaining the historic architectural character of the exterior of the building. Scheduled to be ready for bookings this fall, Orli features 13 bespoke guest rooms and suites, with amenities including tech-forward concierge services, a courtyard with gnarled olive trees for events, a library, brew bar with cold brew and kombucha on tap, and a multi-purpose lounge. Orli will also focus on sustainability including reusable drinkware, filtered water on tap, locally sourced bath products, and more. stayorli.com What's Now The Marine Room on La Jolla Shores adds thrills to the menu when its High Tide Dinners return on August 9-11. Choose the late seating at 7:30pm and your four-course, prix fixe dinner experience will coincide with peak high tide, or reserve earlier seating for à la carte menu options with a little more sunshine as a backdrop to the crashing waves just outside the restaurant's windows. If you can't make it this month, the tides — and the dinners — return on September 8-9. marineroom.com Chef Giuseppe Ciuffa of GRNFC Hospitality has signed a five-year contract with La Jolla Music Society to provide onsite food, beverage, and catering services at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center.

Together with chef de cuisine Ryan Bullock, the Lionfish and Serea executive chef Ruiz has created a seasonal, fresh menu to draw more than the working lunch set to the restaurant's sleek indoor/ outdoor contemporary setting. joyakitchensd.com Inspired by a shared passion for local street art and original, curated apparel, owners Kalli Legakes and Nate Adams recently opened The Shop La Jolla, featuring edgy streetwear, men's and women's clothing, and artwork. Legakes says the store reflects the art community of La Jolla with a unique attention to street fashion and the artists whose work is an expression of that style genre. On select weekends, pop-up-style shops are planned to host emerging artists, young creatives, and local bands at the store. "Through local partnerships and community ties," says Legakes, "we hope to make The Shop a fusion of the beauty and history of La Jolla and the creative street culture of San Diego." theshoplajollaca.com Marisi Max Waitt and Hailey Waitt The Marine Room The Shop La Jolla ranchandcoast.com @ranchandcoast RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE AUGUST 2022 65 ˜
