This is the place to take out-of-towners. An old converted stage coach stop, it's a marvel atop the Santa Monica mountains. Especially in spring. Forget the power seating downstairs. Ask for the library. Much...

This restaurant is a place where redneck hunters like me meet dining elegance. What a great place to have dinner. The atmosphere is great and the food is even better.

FOOD AND SERVICE ARE GREAT.THE ONLY DOWNFALL IS THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE RESERVATIONS A MONTH AHEAD OF TIME!

You may not like the heads of animals decorated on the walls at this restaurant (there were so many). One thing I reget is I ate "rabbit" meat. That was really tasty, but I felt guilty when I saw the tiny head...
