    As usual the food and the service was wonderful! I took a great friend out her birthday lunch today. We both had the Seasonal Special, halibut, with an amazing wasabi buere blanc sauce, perfectly cooked asparagus and almond rice. My friend asked for mashed potatoes instead of the rice and they gladly accommodated her. We finished with the best, I mean the key lime cheesecake!! Everyone we were in contact with were friendly and efficient. Looking forward to going back!

    If you haven’t been to the new Restoration Hardware at Fashion Island yet, you’re missing out! This place is like a Pinterest board come to life, with every level designed with the most stunning furniture. But the real treat is at the top —the RH Ocean Grill. This rooftop restaurant is a masterpiece, with an open kitchen concept and breathtaking views of the ocean. We kicked things off with some refreshing Aperol Spritzes and they were perfect. Shout out to Carson for being the best server. The crispy artichoke was a first for me—so unique, crunchy and delicious, and it came with a rosemary aioli that I could’ve drank it on its own. We ordered the RH burger for the kids and they absolutely devoured it I couldn’t resist the lobster roll, which was buttery, loaded with chunks of lobster. So so good! The Chinese chicken salad was another hit, with a fantastic dressing and crispy fried noodles that added the perfect crunch. It didn’t last long on the table! Whether you’re shopping, dining or just soaking in the vibe, this new RH is the ultimate spot for a fabulous day out!
