We can’t even venture how much the giant center chandelier weighs.Ī second-floor meeting room overlooks the ballroom and can be used as VIP seating for concerts. The main ballroom has 40,000 square feet that can be divided into five sections (one at 18,257 square feet, four at 5,987 square feet each). Pechanga Summit event center: The cavernous convention/wedding/trade show/concert hall has been doubled in size and feels like all of Comic-Con could fit in there. The delicate but not dainty vanilla cream-filled raspberry macaron could easily be shared by three. The truly standout dishes included a flavorful organic beet salad with a manchego mousse, granola and watercress, a creative sesame cone filled with tuna poke and yuzu aioli, a perfectly sous-vide-then-grilled medium rare hangar steak, with homemade French fries, plump scallops on a parmesan-Brussels sprout purée, with roasted enoki and oyster mushrooms and fennel pickled in apple juice. Lobby Bar: Chef Jose Mendoza cooked up samples from the farm-to-table bistro’s menu to whet people’s appetite. (Alejandro Tamayo / The San Diego Union-Tribune )
