BRICK Restaurant, an award-winning Italian eatery located in the heart of downtown San Clemente has undergone a revamp. Executive Chef/Owner David Pratt has fitted his kitchen with an 8-foot Santa Maria grill, featuring back-to-basics cooking alongside its eponymous brick oven that has been at the core of Chef Pratt’s repertoire since opening in 2012.

BRICK’s genuine farm-to-table philosophy means working with local farms and purveyors to promote sustainability and seasonality. The finest produce is sourced locally at weekly Farmers’ Markets, and personally hand-selected by our chefs. At BRICK, whole animals – be it a lamb, or pig – are broken down on-site, and every ounce is incorporated into a variety of hand-crafted dishes for guests to feast on. Currently on the menu are gorgeous rib eye steaks, hangar steaks, lamb chops, pork belly, as well as fish and lobster, all executed to perfection on the impressive new grill.

The concept of delivering high quality, local and sustainable ingredients remain true to Chef Pratt’s unique and seasonal cuisine. Hand-selected local and international wine selections are on hand to complete your rustic dining experience. At Brick, guests are invited into a warm, at-home atmosphere, with Chef Pratt readily visible in the open kitchen during every service. Guests are welcomed like old friends, into a cozy space, leaving a lasting impression of a perfectly exquisite meal at a dear friend’s home.

BRICK’s focus on superior quality and integrity allows the menu to stay true to the roots of rustic Italian fare. Chef Pratt recognizes the local culture, customs and environment, and adapts his menu, cuisine and ingredients accordingly with utmost respect and creative flare. This maintains BRICK’s integrity while at the same time, ensures guests are completely satiated after each and every meal.
