Stonehill Tavern
Michael Mina, celebrity chef, does it again. He may not be in the kitchen himself, but the dude's gotten good at translating his vision to his cooks. Tasting menus are the way to go: might luck out... read more

The Crema Cafe
Essentially, everything's good here. But might as well check out the crepes, since they seem to be a specialty. Keep it simple with lemon and sugar, or go big with chicken and mushrooms. Not feelin... read more

Restaurant 162
One of the better hotel restos. The Ritz-Carlton name, after all. Food isn't surprising, but it is good. Check out that brunch buffet. Stock up on caviar before they notice. Seafood's main attracti... read more

Studio Restaurant
Perfect people are hard to talk about, and so are perfect restaurants. What to say about a place that knows exactly what it's doing, and always does it right? Almost boring, right? The food is cons... read more

Infusion
In the mood to go big? Something called "The Vertical" offers lobster, steak, and prawns hanging in a metal contraption over artichoke mashers. At the very least, it's visually impressive. Or just ... read more

Sage
Stays relevant with semi-changing menu and reliably good food. Just not quite a revelation. Ahi, crab cakes, spring rolls for appies. Salads have things like goat cheese, beets, fruit, and candied ... read more

Hush
The wine list is a point of pride among the multi-faceted owners (producers, one-time actors, you get the drift). It's a long one. The food has a lot to recommend it, but perhaps not at these price... read more

Break of Dawn
Brunch is brunch, except when it isn't. Oatmeal comes brûléed, sausage comes with rice and green papaya-sesame salad. Feeling savory? Pork comes with tempura and butternut squash soup ... read more

The Wild Artichoke
An unexpected date location way out in the suburban boonies. Big plates of meat or pastas, and Chef seems to have a sweet tooth. Desserts highlighted quite a bit. Menu changes with the seasons, but... read more

Ramos House Cafe
The restaurant is in a reconverted house that stands on the oldest remaining street in California: that's 1794, y'all. This house itself is relatively young: 1884 is when it came about. The chef st... read more

230 Forest Avenue
Any place with an art gallery attached must be all about trend. Over a decade later, 230 manages to stay on top of things. Chilean sea bass is still there because everyone goes crazy for it, and it... read more

Sundried Tomato Cafe
Prices may seem a little high, but thought appears to be that you're paying for a dining experience that lasts a leisurely while. Especially at midday, when patrons tend to linger, practically turn... read more

Fitness Pizza & Grill
It's not all necessarily healthy. Or maybe it was in the 80s? Yeah, it's been around since the latter part of the Me Decade. Low-fat or not, the nutrition info for each food item is printed on the ... read more

Zinc Cafe
Been around since 1988. That's, like, forever in OC years. Still seems hip, which is another grand feat for the veggie-inclined, whole food-ish cafe. (Well, it is technically vegetarian, but eggs a... read more

Rutabegorz
The place started in 1970 and has kept the mission ever since. Healthy food in the wholesome, whole grain sense. Something called squaw bread is quite popular (1970 had free love, but not political... read more
