MORE PRESS
Featured in Bon Appetit magazine, "Top Tables", March 2006 (link) as "a good example of San Diego's growing number of ingredient-driven restaurants." Also, "sausage rules here" and the entrees "do the city's Mexican food scene proud." (to explain: our cuisine is global including Latin American influences)."If knowing that your Hampshire or Berkshire breed pigs are pastured makes chowing down on handcrafted sausages a guiltless pleasure, The Linkery is the place to indulge. The folks behind this unique, casual spot believe in 'meeting your meal.'" - Gourmet magazine, "America's Best Farm-to-Table Restaurants", October 2007

"This bistro oozes cool imagination....You'll wish you lived in this neighborhood" - 944 magazine, November 2005
"The best sausage in town -- this we know. In fact, the sausage taco in a corn tortilla with mustard japaleno aioli could go head to head with any fish taco out there. But little did this cool North Park bistro know that its thoughtful ode to vegetarians would steal the sausage thunder for which it has become known." - Riviera magazine, August 2006
SEATING
We seat on a first come basis, which means we don't take reservations. We've got a pretty small restaurant, and sometimes it fills up.
If you’re happiest when you can surely sit right away, we encourage you to join us early in the evening (between 5:30 and 6:30 seems best). Otherwise come on in and if there’s a wait for a table, enjoy a drink or two at the bar.
Also, we're open until 11pm every night, and we welcome guests who join us toward the end of the evening.
Whenever you come to visit us, we'll take care of you the best we can.
THE LINKERY IS A "NO TIPPING" RESTAURANT
We do not accept tips.
We address the costs of providing table service by charging for it. Bar and table service is charged on the bill for dining-in guests at 18%.
We find this appropriate for professionals in every industry, including hospitality.
For guests that would like to show extra gratitude, you can leave cash behind for our charity of the month.
