Southern California Restaurant Design Group brought its full-service expertise to the California Fish Grill restaurant project, overseeing every aspect of the kitchen from concept to completion: design, equipment procurement, and installation. At the heart of the kitchen build was a double conveyor oven sourced through MiddleBay Equipment, a specialty selection chosen specifically for this location’s operational demands. As the exclusive provider of the entire back-of-house scope, SCRDG managed a complex installation process that required ingenuity from the start: several large pieces of equipment had to be partially deconstructed and carefully reconstructed on-site in order to fit within the building’s existing structural constraints — a challenge that demanded both precision and deep field experience.
On the front-of-house side, the California Fish Grill presented a unique design opportunity centered around a signature tile-wrapped aesthetic. The bold tile work demanded that lighting placement be carefully engineered to complement the visual flow of the space rather than compete with it. To achieve a seamless, cohesive look, SCRDG designed and fabricated a fully custom order counter — built specifically to align with the tile pattern and lighting scheme rather than relying on any off-the-shelf solution. The result is an ordering experience that feels intentional and immersive, where every surface, fixture, and light source works in harmony to reinforce the brand’s identity.
