Food Scene
We are quite taken by their Polenta and Blueberry Bread/Cake, Donuts and Lemon Cake. For Brunch/Lunch we have had a few of their Salads and their Short Rib Sandwich is spot on.

Modern French cuisine, and really worth a visit. From their bakery we recommend their donuts and pastries for Breakfast. They are also very well known for their Weekend Brunch and Dinner.

Fish & Chips are the best we have had so far. It's a cozy local and casual place! Perfect for a quick early dinner after a day at the beach.

A very fresh and interesting take on Italian Cuisine. Crowded and bustling place with a warm industrial look. We had their spaghetti with sea urchin, pepper, squid ink bottarga in a saffron cream sauce, and the black truffle cavatelli were both super tasty. Note: the first dish has a slight sweetness probably from the bottarga.

We love Gjelina lauded by critics from London to New York to San Francisco and beloved by stars, locals, and out-of-towners alike for its seductive simplicity and eclectic Cal-Med menu. Salads, small plates, pastas and the pizza is killer.

Take the beautiful drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. Our favorite beach is a little gem-ask us a about and we will tell you. This beach reminds me on the one my family goes to in Bali.
