Restaurants near El Granada Beach

We were seated promptly in a nice location. The place is absolutely beautiful inside and an extensive wine cellar. Our server was Fabio. He was OK. The girl that poured our water was better. Both of our meals were huge and we had leftovers. We had been winetasting so didn’t want any more wine. I had a nice old-fashioned. We had the lemon parfait Yum Yum even my husband who doesn’t usually eat dessert liked it.

My friend brought me here for my birthday lunch. My husband, my friend and I have been here many times over the years and always enjoy it. We had a lovely time, enjoyed our cocktails and enjoyed our entrées. I want to thank the restaurant for my lovely birthday dessert with a candle. That was a surprise and I really appreciated it. Thanks, again. We look forward to our next visit later this year. 

The awesome ambience and spectacular views are worth the trip every Mother’s Day and any special family event!

Michelin Recommended Restaurant, located in the prestigious Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. Stunning views of the Pacific coast and golf course. Outstanding choice for special occasions! Be sure to reserve your spot through open table for a brunch dining experience. Currently (May 11, 2025) priced at $255 per person + tax and 20% gratuity. All you can eat for 90 minutes, then dessert tower for the last 30 minutes. Order two dishes at a time (per guest). They offer an extensive wine pairing and elaborate cocktails($26 per drink). Definitely recommend the caviar (sturgeon, trout, and paddlefish). The scallop was perfectly seared and served with an incredible creamy sauce. For Mother’s Day, they featured rack of lamb and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Lamb, charred on the outside, and tender red center(one of the best menu items). The eggs Benedict, perfectly poached, runny egg over spinach and tomato with hollandaise sauce. Another savory offering was their beef tenderloin over potato parmentier(like a creamy mashed potatoes). Soft, tender, smoky beef over this silky smooth mashed potatoes. For the vegetarian option, they offered the Maitake mushroom with ponzu nori rice pearls, which was surprisingly delicious, tasting citrus and savory. The shrimp cocktail dish offered three colossal shrimp over a spicy cocktail sauce. We also loved the lobster roll, small but generous amounts of main lobster meat with smoked trout caviar. The navy bean soup was very tasty, thick chunks of bacon. I loved the berry Belgium waffle, with came with house made whipped cream and real maple syrup. Absolutely delicious blueberry and strawberry sauce over the crispy Belgium waffles. After 90 minutes, and ordering 3 servings of caviar, I was completely satisfied. The final dessert tower was impressive: chocolate cappuccino tiramisu, fruit pain de gene, s’more chocolate cheesecake, and Mother’s Day strawberry shortbread!

Great spot to splurge for a beautiful view and enjoy lunch .
