WAITE & SEA IS BACK AGAIN! 🤘🔥🐟
— June 2, June 16, June 23, June 30 @ 6:30pm —
This intimate dinner experience brings you back to the spirit of early Wrench — a small room, a few curious guests, and the kind of energy that happens when food, storytelling, and community collide.
Part tasting menu, part experimental playground, Waite & Sea is a look into what’s inspiring Davin’s cooking right now: whole-fish utilization, bold creativity, and a deeper connection to the ingredients around us along with what’s being grown just steps away at The Plot Garden Project.
It’s an evolving conversation between sea, soil, and season, and we can’t Waite for you to join us.

The NEW TASTING MENU is LIVE 🔥
… but ever wonder where a menu starts? For this one, it began in Mexico — with Chef Davin and Chef Travis cooking alongside chefs they admire, soaking in new techniques, bold flavors, and a whole lot of inspiration. Chef Davin always feels like he comes back super rejuvenated when he cooks on the other side of the border. It’s an amazing reset for him, and energizes a fresh perspective that finds its way onto the plate.
We are so stoked for you to taste what our culinary team has created, including a: beetroot tartare, smoked carrotfish taco, mushroom adobada and a few more surprises along the way.
Available 7 nights a week for dinner, and we hope you love it as much as we do! 🌱❤️
Thank you @coastnews for featuring our Plot Garden Project!! We are so amped to be expanding, and growing out into the community!! Big thanks to all who have contributed: our volunteers, donors and partners. Let’s keep growing food everywhere, together!

Mackerel, cream, mulberry 🔥
This Saturday, Chef Davin is stepping out of the kitchen (and our tree), and into the gallery with some fun bites (from us and The Plot) for his friend Margaret Chiaro’s immersive, cloud-inspired show. We’re stoked to hang out, and hope you’ll join us for some fun.
Good food, good people, and some seriously rad art!! 🤘
May 2 | 5–9PM, @covetartgallery | @margaretchiaro — see you there!
Earth Day, every day! 🌱
We’re excited to share a quick update on @theplotgardenproject — our nonprofit urban garden and food lab in South Oceanside, built to connect people to food, soil, and each other.
Right now, that vision is coming to life:
🌿 South O Alleyway Garden — almost done. What was once cracked concrete is becoming a thriving little oasis.
🌿 Tremont Street Garden — big progress. We’re transforming this stretch into a community lane where our neighbors can harvest fresh, nutrient dense produce for their home-cooked meals.
This work wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers, donors, and @wastemanagement (for the soil!).
Come by, check it out, and be part of what we’re growing. We’re so grateful for all that the Earth gives us — the ability to grow, to nourish, and to feed our friends, family, and community.
For the glory of 4/20… we made an offering 😎
A western bacon sourdough pancake patty melt — stacked, glorious and loving lathered up in syrup. It’s the kind of thing you don’t overthink, you just go for.
Jah loved it, and we have a feeling you will too. Available 4/20 only. Come and get it.

What if the things we thought were imperfect were actually the best part? 🌱
We asked Chef @davinwaite what it means to be a restaurant that strives for total utilization, and for us, it’s about having the tools to work with everything — even the ingredients that don’t look “perfect.” Because a lot of the time, that’s where the real flavor is, and that’s what we love to highlight on our menu instead of letting it go to waste. That’s part of the fun, and the magic.
