 VUE overlooks Dana Point Harbor at its Laguna Cliffs Resort & Spa locale. This contemporary restaurant was transformed a few years back by ditching the outdated nautical theme and replacing it with down-to-earth browns, black marble tables, mirrored booths and low lighting. At breakfast, guests can order American-style egg dishes, healthy items or opt for the buffet. Lunch is full of sandwiches and salads, but there are also burgers, pizza and a New York strip steak. Chef Anton Cossi shines best at dinner with his Italian-inspired creations like a creamy lobster risotto with salty olive tapenade and pungent lemon oil. Entrées are just as flavorful and include a tender coffee-crusted rib-eye steak, wild salmon with curry quinoa, and Chilean sea bass with morel and artichoke purée. The wine list is a well-chosen mix of the Old and New World. For dessert, don’t miss the chocolate pot de crème and the ginger cake topped with house-made vanilla ice cream. The service here is also topnotch with knowledgeable servers and an experienced maître d’, who also acts as sommelier.
