Project Highlight: Wildland

Located in the former Morey Boogie Boards factory, Wildland is a restaurant, bar, and bakery created by partners John Resnick and Eric Bost. This neighborhood café and bar invites guests to either grab a quick bite or settle in for a leisurely visit, with an in-house bakery and a menu featuring fresh pastas and seasonal dishes prepared in a rotisserie and wood-fired pizza oven. The bakery will supply Wildland with freshly baked breads and pastries while also supporting the Michelin-starred team’s other restaurants, Jeune et Jolie and Campfire. Spanning 8,000 square feet, the restaurant’s open floorplan includes an exhibition kitchen where guests can see the active bakery behind a long counter and pastry cases. A custom beige Mugnaini wood-fired oven takes center stage in the kitchen, while a walk-up bar anchors the venue.

Project Highlight: Leila

Leila offers an immersive dining experience that combines the rich flavors of the Middle East with a vibrant, authentic ambiance. Orness Design Group worked closely with the restaurant's owners and the design team to create a kitchen optimized for smooth operations, safety, and innovation. The kitchen design reflects the complexity of the menu, combining sleek aesthetics with functional workstations for both efficiency and creativity. The open kitchen concept lets diners see the artistry behind each dish. A focal point of the kitchen is a custom-designed 2.5-ton clay oven that traveled for more than 9 months from London to San Diego. The oven includes a traditional Clayburn Oven, Barrel Tandoor, Robata Grill, and an open flame area for grilling skewers.
