T S Restaurants was founded on friendship and ‘Ohana, allowing guests to feel at home no matter what. They take pride in their staff, and enjoy supporting the local community. Perry says, “Every night we have a Chef’s Special dish, and at the end of every month we donate those proceeds to the San Diego food bank, we love giving back to the community.”
