This place will take your breath away. Only about 10 miles North of us is a spectacular lake with lakeside dining. You truly feel transported to another country in minutes.

Just like the name indicates, this is a 100 year old restaurant saloon. Very limited seating and reservations a must ..but this local joint is nestled in Mailbu Canyon ( 15 minutes north of us) and really fun. Great place to meet friends as the booths hold 8. The food is amazing , great rib eye steak and roast chicken and if you want the old cowboy experience this is the place to go. The Cornell Winery next door is lovely and a wonderful place to do some wine tasting before you go next door for dinner. Unfortunately it's only open Thursday- Sunday but if you're here then it's a must but I would call at least a week prior..

One exit north of us if you want to take a magical ride thru an amazing canyon bringing you to Malibu, there is a spot on the sand with great food and beach acess that lives up to its name, "Paradise" . Don't let the parking fee scare you...it's only $6 if you spend $35 in the restaurant and you have 4 glorious hours there. Wether you want to spend a day at the beach or watch the sunset you can't beat this spot. I believe you can make a reservation and there still might be a wait...but what a spectacular place to wait! Just be sure to get your parking ticket validated in restaurant or there is a $35 parking fee but if you want to spend the whole day it's worth it. There are comfy beach lounges to rent and more!
