The Scene
Almost completely outdoors, the dining room is a peaceful patio along a jagged hillside overlooking the California coastline. Terra-cotta flowerpot centerpieces burst with purple flowers on each table, while coal-flame fire pits, waterfalls and lush greenery give an added tropical flair. A mellow crowd of locals and families celebrate birthdays and revel in the setting's natural beauty.
The Food
The California cuisine offers many Asian-influenced seafood dishes and a handful of meat entrees. Standout starters include a generous portion of crisp, jumbo coconut shrimp with sweet plum dipping sauce, and a tangy Caesar salad served in a crunchy, edible Parmesan cracker bowl. For entrees, a thick New York steak with rich bordelaise sauce is full of flavor, and sauteed day-boat scallops are served atop creamy foie gras risotto. Desserts include a gooey, peach-filled pastry with ice cream.

Great place to impress out-of-towners for lunch, especially if they come from back East where the weather is always unpredictable and bad. The ocean view is awesome.The cumin crusted Ahi Tuna was good, but the portions seem a little small for the price (would have been nice to nestle it on a salad instead of just a plate). It's obvious they are trying to pay the high rent. But I must say I was greeted with a smile by the attractive Maitre "D" in front of my out of town guest, as if she was very glad to see us, and for me that's a plus. Dinner at night is romantic, but once again - pricey.

The view is probably the most beautiful thing you'll receive from this place. About 5 minutes after being seated, a man handed us the menu and said, I'm unsure who waits this table, but let me go find out. Fifteen minutes gone by, and still no sound -- no hi, no hello, no I'll be with you in just a moment or anything. Not until we walked away from the table that he, Omar, decided to approach us and ask us to come back to dine. We refused and asked to speak to the manager. The manager apologized and insisted that we stay with the promise of covering some of the bill -- which she did not. We did ended up staying. I requested that we have another waiter and her replied was Omar is my best waiter and he would like to make it up to you guys. This Omar guy, who does not acknowledge his customers for 20 minutes, is the best thing this so called "classic" restaurant has? According to the standard they claim to have met, this is not what I would call a "classic restaurant"!
