    Excellent high end eatery. Located in the hotel del. We went for thanksgiving. Ice rink to skate in overlooking the pacific. We out outside and there was plenty of Italian heaters that work very well for warm. Food is amazing. On par with cafe central in El Paso, Geromino’s in Santa Fe. It is expensive no doubt. Min with out and drinks in 125 each plus tip. Parking at the hotel is 35 min to 55 for over night. I know the island well and you might find some off property parking. The hotel has incredible light shows for Xmas and music in the bar areas, it is not quite, a lot of hustle and bustle outside but a beautiful in the moment experience. Worth every penny. Richie

    Unpretentious with casual ambiance. Server was fantastic, exuded upbeat & engaging energy throughout our dining experience. I never felt rushed. My reservation changed from 2, 4,5 back to 2 - the host was unbothered each time & more than accommodating to update the number of guests ( a portion of the party had a fender bender while en route). The smoked salmon tartine deconstructed was excellent - the salmon was delicious & buttery! French onion soup stock was rich and comforting. The blood orange spritzers with a sprig of rosemary was served in a healthy glass & complimented my afternoon break from reality!
