The owners of the Back Nine were equally inspired by the rich history of local cuisine and food preparation dating back to Rancho Carbonero. In Spanish, Carbonero is a place where charcoal is burned, much like an American BBQ. Our expansive fresh grill menu hopefully creates a pleasurable time for each of our Back Nine guests, as they view part of the famed course's front nine.

The food was excellent as usual. We asked for a quieter area so we’re were seated in the garden room which was great. Nice ambience and cozy with patio heaters. Our wait person was very attentive and efficient and friendly and our delicious food came very timely. We enjoyed the complimentary birthday Dunday.

We had to evacuate our house, and because of that we could not make a Thanksgiving dinner. The folks at the Plumed Horse were beyond gracious and made our Thanksgiving, in very trying circumstances, a delightful memory. As always, the food was excellent, service elegant, and the people divine. Thank you all so much for saving our holiday!

We got a seat at the bar ordered cocktails and small dishes. Everything was uniformly excellent. The barkeeper was knowledgeable and made a beautifully balanced Manhattan. The small dishes recommonded were all tasty and of high quality. Overall the only reason to dock a star is that Nobu is expensive (big surprise). But if you are not cost sensitive, then this is an excellent place for high quality drinks and light dishes. Recommended.
