 It’s hard to beat the view from this aptly named restaurant perched over the Morro Bay Estuary. Executive chef Neil Smith’s classic dishes are given a little extra nudge, such as a wedge salad with Stilton and buttermilk dressing, a chicken breast with an oyster mushroom ragù, or a tender venison lollypop atop root vegetable purée. Smith also showcases local products throughout the menu, including abalone, olive oil and grass-fed beef. Pastry chef Thomas Drahos brings some molecular gastronomy to the table with inventive desserts like the peach cylinder with pear gel and coconut soda. The wine list---with nice by-the-glass selections---is maintained by certified sommelier Christopher Battles, and there’s also a full bar. This is a favorite special-occasion spot, but locals know to check out the nightly $30 prix-fixe or specials in the bar like martini Mondays and oyster Tuesdays. Brunch and/or special dinner menus are usually available on holidays.
