Mornings are an easy introduction: coffee, pastries and a well-built breakfast burrito outside while the garden is still cool. At lunch the kitchen turns to seasonal salads and lighter plates, and dinner settles into a fuller California menu where fish, house pasta and vegetables from close by share the table. The wine list covers reds, whites, rosé and sparkling, with a thoughtful by-the-glass selection, and the full bar turns out craft cocktails suited to the resort setting. Service is polished but relaxed, and hotel guests and locals mix easily. Breakfast and lunch run on weekdays and brunch on weekends, while dinner is served Wednesday through Sunday, so plan around that, and book ahead for weekend evenings. Go for a garden breakfast on a warm morning, or for an unhurried dinner as the patio lights come on.
