This restaurant sits out over the rocky cliffs…along Highway 1...on the California Coast...so we were able to
watch the gorgeous evening sunset…plus the bonus was a bride out on the rocks
in her gown being photographed. We also
were able to see seals through the binoculars surfacing at times around these three
rocks…way down below the cliff where we were.
Rose chose the Mussels and Fries…the mussels cooked in a
fennel, tomato broth, white wine and chives.
Neal picked the Wild Salmon (which is local) with polenta
and asparagus in a sauce of balsamic vinegar and oil.
I ordered the Gnocchi stuffed with Crab meat…potato gnocchi
and Dungeness crab meat with roasted peppers and a light cream sauce. It was the best gnocchi I have ever eaten and
that includes my homemade gnocchi. We
eventually asked for bread..and were served this crusty baguette…and we used it
to sop up our sauces.
I ordered a Bloody Mary to drink. Rose ordered the Anit-Oxidant Mojito –
Plantation 3 Star Rum/raspberries/blueberries/blackberries/mint/pomegranate
juice/club soda.
We wanted to order the Cheese plate for dessert – four local
cheeses/dried fruit/organic walnuts and Big Sur honey…but we were just too
full.
