Red Ginger opens in El Granada

Red Ginger, a new pan-Asian restaurant, opened in El Granada last week.  Despite its proximity to the "end of the line" at Devil’s Slide, the restaurant has sold out its eighty seats every night since opening on April 22, even before its sign was up.  "The Slide being out has given us a chance to meet the local community,"  co-owner Dijeann Pasero told us. 

Spencer Gray, Executive Chef and also a co-owner, has put together a menu that is designed to be very light and farm- and ocean-to-table fresh.  "The American palate doesn’t associate Asian cuisine with farm-fresh food," said Pasero. "We’re excited to bring that to the Coastside." The restaurant is already buying seafood on the Coastside and has begun exploring relationships with local farmers.

Red Ginger is open every night, except Monday, for dinner. You can download Red Ginger’s menu from Coastsider. It sounds like you might need reservations: 650.726.2888.  Click on the link below to see chef Spencer Gray in the kitchen.
