Popular Dolce Pane e Vino to Offer Delicious Breakfast MenuBest Wine Bar: Dolce Pane e Vino – Gold

You know Dolce Pane e Vino for its great food for lunch, brunch, dinner and, of course, a superb glass of wine or cock-tail. Now this favorite neighborhood sweet spot is bringing its culinary creativity to the breakfast table, serving up farm fresh fare perfect for early morning gatherings, meetings or a healthy bite on the way to the office.

The menu includes healthy light fare such as fresh Chi-no Farm’s seasonal fruit, whole grain oatmeal and house-made, European-style muesli.

On the heartier side, Eggs Benedict goes Dolce-style with prosciutto, and Ranch-style with turkey breast and bacon. Sides include a delicious Turkey Jalapeno Sausage and dreamy fresh buttery croissants. As always with the “Open Kitchen,” you have a ringside seat to all the action. For din-ner, pair a favorite vino with one of the favored entrée spe-cialties like the delicious smoky flavor of the Cedar Plank At-lantic Salmon and Charred Asparagus, or the handcrafted wood-fired pane rusticos and paninis. Dolce is unmistakably unique with a relaxed vibe and it’s a neighborhood favorite with a warm-hearted attitude that comes across loud and clear.

The breakfast menu starts Monday, Oct. 22, from Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-11 a.m. Dolce Pane e Vino is located at 16081 San Dieguito Road, Rancho Santa Fe, CA; (858) 832-1518; www.dolcepaneevino.com.

Meet the team at Martin Katz: More than just your small-town jeweler

The following is a Q & A with the staff at Martin Katz Jewelry Store:

When are you open?We are open from Tuesday through Friday, 10

a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Is it appointment only?Because of the security nature of our business,

people think we are appointment only but that is not true. One can make an appointment, but it is not re-quired to come into our store in Rancho Santa Fe.

What kind of work do you do?We do everything from acting as the small-town

jeweler and doing repairs, to designing and producing the most extravagant, over-the-top pieces.

Is everything at Martin Katz expensive?No, we often assist customers with simple repairs

and remodels, and all of our exceptional pieces are competitively priced.

What kind of gems do you carry in the store?We pride ourselves in carrying exquisite, flawless colored stone and diamond jewelry. We carry diamonds of all sizes

and colors, as well as all gemstones.

Is there a theme to the type of jewelry you carry?Martin Katz is known for carrying Art Deco-like and vintage-inspired pieces, but we also focus on one-of-a-kind, bold

stones in our jewelry. All of our pieces are incredibly unique and contemporary. Each piece that we create is painstakingly crafted from the finest materials available.

Best Dance Studio: Royal Dance Academy – Gold

Royal Dance Academy Voted ‘Best Dance Studio’ — Again!The Royal Dance Academy in Car-

mel Valley was AGAIN voted best Dance Studio in the Readers Choice Awards 2012.

Located in Carmel Valley, next to Ace Hardware and Hallmark, The Royal Dance Academy has been serving Car-mel Valley and surrounding communi-ties for 12 years now, and is proud, once again, to be recognized as the best local dance studio.

Never one to be complacent, own-er and principal Francine Garton has continued to nurture and develop RDA by continually evolving as the market and her students demand.

The Royal Dance Academy fea-tures a brand-new 6,000-sq.-ft. facility with state-of-the art studios purposely built to accommodate the many pro-grams now being offered.

RDA offers all disciplines of dance to all ages (18 months — adult ), in-

cluding programs for the serious danc-er and for the recreational dancer.

With 22 competition teams, the world-renowned Royal Academy of Dance Ballet syllabus and Examination program, an annual Nutcracker perfor-mance and an annual recital (four per-formances at the Mandeville Auditori-um in front of a 1,000-strong audience each night), RDA also offers the LAM-DA acting program with opportunities for students to take drama exams and potentially be represented by agents for theatre, TV and movie opportuni-ties.

A fantastic “Tiny Tots” program that is solely focussed on the younger dancer having a fun experience is also thriving at RDA.

Miss Francine wanted to express her gratitude to all her students and parents.

“I am humbled and very apprecia-

tive of the support I have been given by the RDA family. Our studio is blessed to have so many wonderful families. A huge thank you to all who voted for our studio and for the won-derful help, support and loyalty that has been the backbone of the Royal Dance Academy for the past 12 years. I would also like to thank my wonderful faculty for believing in my philosophy and for loving and nurturing every stu-dent at RDA. We make a difference in the life of every child and encourage them to believe that with hard work, they can be whatever they want to be.”

“The joys and disciplines of dance remain within a child’s heart forever.”

Del Mar Floral & Gifts: Serving North County for Over 35 Years

The Fish Market Del Mar completed an interior remodel around mid-July, and longtime fans of the popular restaurant are giving the updated look enthusias-tic reviews.

“We made a conscious effort to maintain the origi-nal Fish Market ambiance, but there is now a brighter, more open feel,” says Dwight Colton, vice presi-dent of operations. “Patrons have told us how much they like the additional comfort-able booths, the softer color scheme, and the more inti-mate atmosphere. Of course, we’re still serving the fresh-est seafood in town. That’s a constant.”

Regulars will recognize the familiar black and white fishing photos on the walls. Gone is the dark brown cork ceiling, replaced with a light-er acoustic material and soft lighting. The main dining area and back room now flow together more easily and can accom-modate groups of up to 60. A new conference room is outfitted with a teak dining table for 14, making it an ideal venue for private meetings and parties.

The restaurant won the 2012 San Diego Restaurant Association Gold Medallion Award for Best Casual Seafood. The Fish Market is located at 640 Via de la Valle, across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Call (858) 755-2277 or go to

Best Breakfast: The Original Pancake House – GoldFind the ultimate breakfast at The Original Pancake House

The Original Pancake House writes... We’ve been THE choice for the ultimate breakfast in San Diego ever since we opened the first Original Pancake House® franchise in San Diego with our Kearny Mesa restaurant in 1979. Currently, we have four locations in San Diego County: Kearny Mesa, Poway, Encinitas and Vista — and one in Temecula.

Our world-famous original recipes are just that — they’re from all over the world, and demand only the very finest of ingredients, such as USDAA grade butter (not mar-garine), pure 36 percent whipping cream (not half & half), fresh grade AA eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour, and our own homemade sourdough starter recipe. Our batters and sauces are made fresh in each restaurant’s kitchen and we never compromise with quality! And wait till you’ve tasted our coffee — it’s our own special combination, blended to our specifications – and try our thick sliced bacon, you can’t get it anywhere else.

If you’ve never tried The Original Pancake House®, you’re long overdue. And if you’re already a regular, then you know what we’re talking about. Come by and experience the flavor, the atmosphere, the attention to quality and service, and the ultimate breakfast favorite for San Diegans for nearly 30 years!

The Original Pancake House in Encinitas is located at 160 South Rancho Santa Fe Road, Encinitas, CA, 92024; 760-943-1939; http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/phloc_encinitas.html

Studio Savvy Salons were also proud sponsors of this season’s Opening Day Hat Contest at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, one of the biggest and most exciting fashion events for San Diego. Deena was honored to participate as a judge, spokesperson, and presenter. Deena’s own “Savvy Topsy” hat designs and adornments were worn by the local news and me-dia personalities covering the event.

Deena and Angela are committed to an exceptional client experience and total satisfaction. They provide services with integrity, respect and a passion for excellence. It is their goal that Studio Savvy’s clients enjoy extraordinary treatments in a warm, fun and family-friendly environment.
