Mother's day brunch was a mess for $800…read more Entrees and service wasn't worth the units. For nearly $100 per person, rib steak that was sous vide to medium, then served nearly well done and completely undersalted is unacceptable for a restaurant asking for this much coin. The steak sandwich was completely reliant on the aoli sauce between the dry ciabatta bread, and again showcasing how underwhelming the steak was by being undersalted. One of our dishes was completely forgotten, and had to be followed up on. Surrounding tables had similar issues. Eggs benedict with smoked salmon was a hit The starter salads / french onion soup and desserts were tasty, with the banana / blueberry bread pudding and tres leches cake being the stars. Avoid this after-thought of a brunch if you can, stick to their dinner menu and enjoy the incredible ambiance that is Saddle Peak Lodge. What a disaster though! For $800, Fogo de Chao, Maestros, Flemmings, even a drive to Alexanders in Pasadena would of been memorable. Shoot, should of just gone to Lure for the 10,000th time, at least it would of offered the same boring consistency. Super disappointed in Saddle Peak Lodge, as my family and I come here 1-2 times a year for dinner. Sadly this experience sums up why their over-all Yelp score is 3.5 stars now, and I'm sadly adding fuel to the fire for what once was one of my favorite restaurants.

They went out of their way to accommodate our needs to make sure our guests have a great experience. All the best things: - The house is beautifully decorated. Mary is a talented interior designer with an elegant taste in furniture. The house has many WOW elements. You have to be there to feel the amazingness. - Mary and Will are extremely kind and responsible. Our party rental person arrived the evening before without notice and Will handled everything for us. - The house faces the ocean. - It's intimate and private. After putting up the canopies, the place looks even better than before. My family dropped their jaw after when they arrived. - Mary and Will are capable to plan your wedding of any budget. They will make sure you don't miss any details. - They have a list of vendors and very knowledgeable. - The rate is very reasonable for a beach house wedding. (Resource: I researched all beach houses in So-Cal for a month.) Seriously, please go and check it out. They are the best thing that happened to our wedding.

I believe they limit the amount of events so consider yourselves lucky if you can get this place. I have seen quite a few locations in the area and this place is a gem.

The service we received was also excellent, thanks especially to our server, Blake, who really made the experience more enjoyable. Star of the Night: Without a doubt, the focaccia was the best I've ever had. Perfectly fluffy, flavorful, and truly next-level. The pizza butter was a nice touch, though not as memorable as the bread itself. Appetizers: * Caesar Salad: I wasn't a fan of the presentation with the large anchovies on top. I don't mind anchovies in the dressing, but having them laid out on the salad wasn't appetizing. * Tempura Mushrooms: Great flavor, but they were overly fried, making them a bit too hard and masking the mushroom itself. The sauce that came with them was delicious, but there wasn't enough of it to balance out the crispiness. * Grilled Shrimp: Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The plating was very plain compared to the other dishes, and the flavors just didn't come through. It felt like the dish could use a serious upgrade. * Hamachi Crudo: This was a highlight! The passion fruit purée paired beautifully with the fish, though the extra oil on the plate caused separation and made it hard for the sauce to stick. A small tweak here would make it perfect. Entrees: This is where the meal lost momentum. After the apps, it took about 30-45 minutes for the mains to arrive, which felt unnecessarily long since the full order had been placed upfront. By the time they arrived, the dishes themselves didn't really deliver. * Scallop Curry: Decent flavor, but the scallops could have used a much better sear to really shine. Something about the plate felt a little off-balance. * Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu: The pasta noodles were well-made, but the short rib lacked depth of flavor and tenderness. It seemed undercooked for what should have been a slow-braised, melt-in-your-mouth kind of meat. Overall, the dish was bland and uninspired. Drinks & Dessert: I skipped the cocktails because none really stood out, but the glass of wine I ordered was excellent. We also passed on dessert after waiting so long for the entrees. Final Thoughts: The restaurant has a lot of potential, the ambiance is beautiful, the focaccia is unforgettable, and the service (thanks to Blake) was wonderful. But the rest of the menu felt inconsistent, with several dishes needing more attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. I'm glad I finally tried it, but for me, the focaccia and service were the true highlights of the night.

I was there after sunset so the lights were aglow and canyon sounds were echoing. Seating is outdoors and no matter where you sit, it's the best seat in the house! Wear shoes you feel confident in as there is lots of brick and cobblestone-like paths. If you arrive early there's a small gift store with lots of curiosities from children's books, artisan jewelry, new age crystals, giant chimes, and a small wine cellar. Started a an old fashion that was spectacular! Also had a glass of prosecco that was good but no comparison to the OF! I know, they are entirely different, but if like both opt for the OF! Started with the tuna and it was the best appetizer I've had in a very long time. The green olives made it pop! Moved onto the short rib and the sea bass. The short rib was a winner. Very tender and flavorful. Also ordered the Brussel sprouts and they definitely do it right! If you're a vegetarian, the Brussel sprouts could be a whole meal! It was huge! Sadly the sea bass was a disappointment. I immediately tasted "fish" and it wasn't good. I tried to push through with a couple more bites but the fishy taste was too strong. My companion, however, didn't seem to mind. You'll have to be the judge. Valet parking was only $9 (don't forget to tip). The table service was impeccable. They came at the right times to see what else was needed, refills were topped off, and they never interrupted the conversation or the meal--their timing was perfect. Finished up with ice-cream and a cappuccino. The ice cream had a streusel topping like nothing I've tried before! If cappuccino is your drink, you will be very happy with theirs. Not too overwhelming and the foam was lightly sweet. Delicious! Going back for brunch to see what the day experience is like!

Especially at night when the lights come on, the whole place is a vibe. Perfect for date night, girls' night, or a special occasion. The creamy black truffle risotto is a MUST. Wild mushrooms, aged Parmesan and porcini dust -- creamy, earthy and literally an explosion of flavor. The yellowfin tuna crudo was sooo good and refreshing. The citrusy white ponzu with pickled mustard seeds, cucumber and fresh herbs really elevated the tuna. We also loved the Little Gem Green Goddess Caesar. Perfectly dressed, not overloaded, with Parmesan and brown butter breadcrumbs that added the best crunch. The only thing I personally didn't care for was the bread, but everything else was fantastic. Service was great, valet parking is available, and there's even a cute little vintage shop with books, candles, etc. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu

There is a nice greenbelt in the back of the building that can be used for additional space, as well as a walking path overlooking the hillside. Our team members made use of the outdoor space. Team members found space to connect in smaller groups for private discussions. Had fun taking selfies and group pictures with the hillside as the backdrop.
