Please call for reservations of 7+ (760) 453-2738 Founded in 2013 by Davin and Jessica Waite, Wrench & Rodent is a space for culinary exploration and collaboration.

In addition to a set sushi menu, Wrench offers an omakase as well as a list of specials that change daily. The team is committed to reducing waste and enhancing flavor by elevating all cuts of fish and veggies, as well as featuring a diverse range of species. Many menu items are simple, fresh and creative, with a lesser-known fish species complimented by ingredients from the backyard garden. Byproduct utilization drives the menu as well, and recent explorations with aging techniques have led to a dry aged fish program. Plant-forward preparations are also celebrated, and a vegan omakase is available upon request.

The Plot is a fantastic place to go if you are plant based. The Plot is also a fantastic place to go if you aren’t! Every item on the me at is creatively packed with flavor, and even my meat-eating friends have enjoyed it. Service was fast and friendly, the mood was casual yet nice, and the food is very fresh, not heavily processed vegan meat substitutes. Thank you - we keep coming back for a reason!
