 Casual gourmet perfectly describes The Loft, which occupies the fourth floor of Laguna Beach’s hippest and perhaps most beautiful hotel, Montage Laguna Beach. This highbrow California wine country bistro serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a spectacular resort and ocean view. As for seating, choose from the tiny outdoor patio, the casual main dining room or the very private booths. Executive chef Casey Overton has created a menu that transforms local, seasonal ingredients into delicately presented dishes containing well-balanced flavor profiles of savory, tart, sweet and sour. For example, the beef short rib with beets, wild mushroom and squash purée displays skillful composition, as does the Sonoma goat cheese-filled house-made ravioli, which comes swimming in pomegranate butter and glazed baby fennel. A meal at The Loft is also about the wine and cheese. If you like, the dining room's sommelier can guide you through choosing any wine by the glass or bottle, or pair each course with pours from all over the world. The Loft has its own fromagier who is passionate about serving up a cheese course from the pantry of 150 artisanal cheeses, 60 of the world's hard-to-find honeys and other accoutrements. Pastry chef Lee Smith adds more skill to the final course with his apple crisp treat.
