History

Established in 2003.

Shades was built around the concept of offering really good food at reasonable prices for locals! We’re working people with kids, and we just wanted a place where we could get a good meal after a long day without the fuss of making a reservation or having to get all dressed up. We wanted a restaurant where you didn’t have to stress about bringing the kids, but you could still get a cocktail and a steak if you were so inclined. Shades is what we came up with, and it seems as if it’s something that others were looking for too. Fully 70% of our customers are ‘regulars’. We know them, and they know us. This is a family owned and operated business, and we’re deeply involved in this wonderful community. There isn’t anyplace else on earth we’d want to go to work everyday.

Meet the Manager

Kylie S.

Manager

Kylie started here as a busser when we first opened the restaurant. She is a graduate of UCSD, and is working her little fingers to the bone learning the art of restaurant management from the owners of the business, Dave, Jennifer, Jeff and Michelle, who she also calls, Papa, Nana, Step-​dad Jeff, and Mom.

Kylie says it’s both a challenge and a joy working with so much family. We all have to work hard to let the work stuff stay at work and the family stuff stay in family mode, but we must say… Kylie is proving to be one of the finest employees we’ve ever had the opportunity to work with (oh, and we love her to bits too).
