Raya never disappoints.....The window view, the service, Joel the waiter and all the table waitstaff are outstanding at their profession. The enchiladas stuffed with seafood, the Caesar salad and the cappuccino accompanied by warm churros and pumpkin ice cream leave a palate that urges me to make my Valentine reservations. Yum!

Salt Creek Grille exceeded all my expectations. All the food was exceptional, fresh and creative. I enjoyed the most delicious and delicate crab cake I have ever had in CA! That is high praise coming from a woman living in Baltimore for 20 years! The service was personable and professional. I am not sure of the very nice gentleman’s name. He was instrumental in making the brunch enjoyable with his attentive nature. BRAVO!!!!!!
