Passport Welcome's Nugents Firegrille

It’s a new day at Nugent’s Firegrill - and that includes a new name and a new menu. What hasn’t changed, however, is the friendly, family-owned vibe you’ll get each time you dine at this San Diego establishment. The Nugent family has their roots in the seafood industry and the culinary arts, so it was a natural progression to bring those two specialties together and open a restaurant specializing in fresh seafood and great cuisine. The menu at Nugent’s Firegrill is casual, and not surprisingly features primarily steak and seafood heavily. Most items reflect the restaurant’s name, arriving tableside fresh off the grill. Choices including pasta, chicken, pizza and pork round out the menu at this lively restaurant.
