Formerly Meritage Restaurant and Bar, the second Sbicca to hit North County now attracts an enthusiastic following of upscale locals. From romantic candle lit tables to plush booths and a short-but-sweet bar, Sbicca typically welcomes clientele for an entire evening of indulgence. Begin with 50 percent off drinks during happy hour, order the slow-roasted duck breast from the diverse menu of Mediterranean and Asian influenced American fare for dinner, and move to the bar for a generous glass of dessert wine.
