    What a great dinner with the four of us girls hanging out for the night. All our dinners were delicious, our cocktails were delish! And the desserts don’t get me started. We ordered three different desserts and shared them all it was heavenly. Our server Melanie couldn’t have been sweeter and we enjoyed the night very much.

    My family  and I had reservations at Café Pacific at the Trump Los Angeles golf course. We  were celebrating my dad’s birthday and it was so amazing! The  ambience was beautiful with a nice warm roaring fire, and the waiter and waitresses were so attentive and discreet, and we all mentioned that how wonderful it was. The dinner  was impeccable and delicious.!  Jennifer our waitress even brought out a dessert to celebrate my dad‘s birthday!  We all had a great experience there and highly recommend this restaurant for a family celebration!!

    We had a fabulous experience as a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. We made our reservation via OpenTable the night before and had no difficulties securing a table for our larger group. I got a text saying that our table was ready and was able to easily communicate ahead of time. We arrived at the resort and were promptly offered a shuttle ride down to the restaurant (as I was on crutches). The shuttle driver even ran inside to snag 2 stuffed whales to give to my young kids. Very thoughtful. We arrived at the restaurant and had wonderful service from Tabitha—-everything from soft blankets to portable heaters. And then the sun came out blazing halfway through our meal and I overheard her offering a nearby table her own personal sunscreen because she overheard them talking about how they were unprepared for the sun and were concerned about exposure. I thought that extra touch was so thoughtful. I don’t even need to waste my space on talking about the view. It’s unbeatable. You won’t find a better view in any other restaurant ever. Period. You can even hear the waves crashing. If you sit on the west patio you will be treated to 180 degree water views that include the Point Vicente lighthouse as well. Food standouts: the hot lobster roll was perfect! Chips and guacamole excellent (and I don’t even usually like guacamole). Shrimp Cobb salad. Burger. Poke bowl. And the kids were all thrilled about their chicken tenders. Enough that they even asked to eat their leftovers the next day—which they usually aren’t willing to do. After lunch our group took a lovely stroll down the ocean path. Because I was on crutches I planted myself on a bench at the top while the rest of my group continued on and everyone was treated to outstanding—we were even lucky enough to see seals frolicking nearby. Because our validation got us $10 parking for the day, we could have explored for as long as we wanted. The path goes all the way to the lighthouse!

    I always love coming here! Been going for 2+ years. Chad was a great server, he even brought us a dessert to go for our anniversary. The Brussels and the carbonara are amazing. I also love the Caesar salad!
