Hunter Steakhouse shuttered in San Diego's Mission Valley last year after more than 50 years in business, but the classic steakhouse feel will return within a modernized interior in a new concept dubbed The Remy Cocktails & Meat.
Founded in Mission Valley in 1970 and operating for years as a Hungry Hunter, Hunter Steakhouse's San Diego locations in Mission Valley and Oceanside were sold in October 2008 to Mike Schneider after Hunter's parent Steakhouse Partners Inc. went bankrupt. Although the Oceanside branch remains under Schneider's ownership, the Mission Valley restaurant was sold in 2022 and permanently shuttered last summer.
Jonathan Frank, who co-owns Home & Away restaurants in San Diego's Old Town and Encinitas, took over Hunter Steakhouse in Mission Valley and is ready to open his newest restaurant. The Remy will offer a traditional steakhouse menu with grilled steaks, including certified American Wagyu beef from Whitefish, Montana, fresh local and imported seafood, and a variety of sides and appetizers, as well as a full bar with a devotion to cocktails and an approachable global wine list. The 4,824 square-foot building has been completely renovated and will have a high-end steakhouse vibe with rich wood accents and leather booths.
The Remy will open this Friday, May 5, at 2445 Hotel Circle Place off the I-8 freeway in San Diego's Mission Valley. For more information, visit theremysd.com.
