i have long been a fan of matt gordan's urban solace in north park, so i patiently awaited for his north county expansion to open in encinitas' pacific station. solace & moonlight lounge has the same fantastic quality of food and presentation. we recently went there for sunday brunch- while not an extensive menu, everything i tried was delicious and did not displease. they had a selection of benedicts, but i opted for the scramble, as i was drawn to the creamy grits, which were tasty! i also had a spicy bloody mary, and snaked a sip of my friend's bellini. but beyond the food, the space that moonlight lounge occupies is awesome. with an earthly and beachy vibe, the sun drenched LEED certified interior allowed the breeze to freely flow. retractable walls opened up, rolling back overhead, to allow for a seamless indoor outdoor space with the upstairs balcony. the fixtures were creative and crafty, using recycled bottles and wine barrels. and, the art that adorned the wall and hung from the ceiling resonated with the natural theme within. i look forward to heading back and trying out dinner!
