The Ocean Terrace

An unforgettable oceanfront evening awaits at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay’s 2025 ‘Taste of Half Moon Bay’. Begin with the resort’s signature sunset serenade, where the resident bagpiper plays melodies honoring the resort’s Scottish heritage as the sun sets along the Pacific coastline. Then, enjoy the magic of a four-course cliffside dinner on the Ocean Lawn, celebrating the region’s rich agricultural and artisanal traditions. Each course is thoughtfully crafted to showcase seasonal, locally sourced ingredients from nearby farms. From freshly harvested produce to sustainable prime cuts, every dish tells the story of the land and its people. Complementing this exquisite dinner, local distilleries and small-batch breweries will present beloved coastal beverage offerings, while award-winning wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains take center stage. Attendees will celebrate the vibrant flavors and community of the Northern California coast—where farm meets table at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay. Each ticket includes welcome libations and a four-course dinner with wine pairings. For zero-proof experiences, mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages will be included. Ticket price includes an auto-gratuity of 20%, exclusive of taxes and fees.
