The Plumed Horse Restaurant has been a beacon of South Bay fine dining since 1952. Led by Executive Chef Peter Armellino, it is a destination for those travelling to visit, yet retains its landmark status as a place to relax, unwind, enjoy, and indulge for locals. Michelin has agreed, awarding Chef Peter a star for 15 consecutive years.

Chef's tasting menu, composed of multiple courses featuring items from local farms and fishermen, is the highlight. A la carte is offered in select seatings on certain evenings.

Wear whatever makes you comfortable, but you are here for a special night out, dressing up is fun! While not required, suits, sportcoats and classy attire will generally get you the best seats in the house.

We are an "adult restaurant." If you are bringing in younger patrons, we want to make it a great experience for every guest. We ask for no tablet or cell-phone entertainment that might disturb others. This is your night to make memories with each other as a family.

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1952, South Bay’s pioneering The Plumed Horse is a fine-dining destination for its California-inspired tasting menus. At the MICHELIN-Starred stunner with a nearly 20,000-bottle wine cellar and fireside lounge, chef Peter Armellino dazzles with dishes like black pepper-parmesan soufflé with uni and blue crab fondue. Taken just as seriously as the food, the award-winning sommeliers and bartenders craft exquisite pairings to level it all up even more.

    Food was good but service was below expectations and certainly not Michelin standard. The dining room was very crowded and noisy on a Saturday night. Upon arrival, the server didn’t ask about dietary restrictions so we ended up getting food that we had to return. Everyone was rushing and we were getting run into on the hallway all the time.

    From start to finish our experience at Plumed Horse was nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish was delightfully evocative, both taste and presentation. The service was also incredible. A perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Everyone at Plumed Horse clearly takes great pride and joy in their work and it shows!

    The experience that you expect for a Michelin star restaurant was not there. We went for a birthday dinner and all they brought was a candle on a plate written happy birthday with chocolate syrup. Even normal restaurant do this on a cup cake or on something smaller. The food was ok. I will not go back.

    We've eaten here for many, many years and have always loved it. This last meal we had was the best ever. Everything was so spectacular. My husband and I have been incessantly talking in detail about each dish and what was so extraordinary about it ever since. We won't wait as long to make a return visit.
