- GGregVIPLos Angeles •70 reviews5.0Dined todayThis was our first visit. As others said, the architecture is fantastic—like nothing around here! The mountain lodge and hops decorating is a bit odd, yet attractive. The menu changes seasonally. The fresh catch was line caught SD Halibut. We shared bread and (two types) butter (also two blends), Washington Oysters, and red beet hummus. All interesting and tasty. I had a “Pilsner” which was tasty, though (as I was warned) much hoppier than typical. My wife ordered a Napa cab blend; a bit delicate but nice. My entree was an absolutely delicious seared lamb loin. Perfect portion. My wife raved about the beef short rib. Only disappointment was my Espresso…chilled by a cold cup and not that great. We will be back!More infoHavenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Encinitas•4.2

We haven't started the menu, but they serve as a cornbread, and my husband loved it so much, and he can't forget how good it was. i was so surprised their beef is so soft that it melts in your mouth.. overall, the food is fantastic, and the server, too,More infoPonto Lago - Park Hyatt AviaraPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•4.8
