Please call for reservations of 7+ (760) 453-2738 Founded in 2013 by Davin and Jessica Waite, Wrench & Rodent is a space for culinary exploration and collaboration. This cozy, eclectic restaurant quickly became a destination for those who appreciated Chef Davin’s creative approach to celebrating local and responsibly sourced fish and produce. In addition to a set sushi menu, Wrench offers an omakase as well as a list of specials that change daily. The team is committed to reducing waste and enhancing flavor by elevating all cuts of fish and veggies, as well as featuring a diverse range of species. Many menu items are simple, fresh and creative, with a lesser-known fish species complimented by ingredients from the backyard garden. Byproduct utilization drives the menu as well, and recent explorations with aging techniques have led to a dry aged fish program. Plant-forward preparations are also celebrated, and a vegan omakase is available upon request.

    After discovering this gem about 9 years ago, I make a point of going whenever I'm within an hour's drive away, it is an absolute must visit. The food is superb, creative and delicious, by far the best sushi I've ever had every single visit. If you have a group I highly recommend the omakase. And chef owner Davin is just a great guy with his fingers in a few different projects. GO! You won't be sorry.

    Myself, husband, son, and his girlfriend all loved our meals. I had the birria enchiladas which were amazing, my husband had a chicken al pastore special and we had the guac which we all raved about. My son just got back from Mexico and he said his enchiladas were amazing ( suizas). Our waiter was the nicest too, we were up on the deck and had pretty views of Carlsbad. We will definitely be back.
