    The restaurant is located in the Paseo Hotel, a beautiful boutique resort in Huntington Beach. From each seat in the restaurant, there is a lovely ocean view The ambiance is pleasant and our food was delicious. Notable choices were the salads, poke bowl, lamb chops, and seared ahi. The rosemary fries in duck fat were beyond compare. The service and staff was warm and delightful. I recommend this restaurant for a special occasion with family or date night.
