Italian
Italian à la carte, dinner only (6–10pm). Indoor setting with a private wine cellar option — the cellar seats a small group and requires advance booking, with an additional charge for wine selection. Classic Italian menu; reliable rather than innovative. Casual elegance dress code.
Pan-Asian Fusion
Pan-Asian fusion dinner restaurant, 6–10pm. The Teppanyaki tables here are the standout — chef-prepared tableside cooking, reservation required, 12+ age restriction, limited seating. Book immediately on arrival. À la carte menu also includes sushi, tempura, California rolls, and pad thai without reservations.
Signature dishes: Sushi, Tempura, California Rolls, Pad Thai
Mediterranean-Asian Fusion
Mediterranean-Asian fusion, dinner only. Teppanyaki tables require reservations and carry a 12+ age restriction (assumed). The à la carte menu doesn't require booking. A more unusual flavor combination than Himitsu — worth trying if you've already done the Teppanyaki experience there.
Authentic Mexican
Traditional Mexican à la carte, dinner only (6–10pm). No reservation required. The most locally rooted dining option on the property — expect moles, fresh tortillas, and regional dishes rather than a Tex-Mex interpretation.
Italian (Traditional Dishes & Pizzas)
Italian-focused restaurant with traditional dishes and pizzas, dinner only (6–10pm). Indoor and outdoor seating. No reservations required. Known for freshly made pasta and the house focaccia. A more casual Italian option than Portofino.
Signature dishes: Dreamy Focaccia Bread, Fresh Pasta
Grilled Specialties, Seafood, International
Ocean-facing grill restaurant open for both lunch (noon–4pm) and dinner (6–10pm). The best position on the property for a meal with a view. Lunch menu features Baja fish tacos; dinner covers steaks and grilled seafood. No reservations required. Outdoor seating with a private pool area adjacent.

Mexican Taqueria
Outdoor Mexican taqueria, noon–4pm, included. Serves traditional tacos — a more authentic alternative to the Barefoot Grill for the lunch crowd. Casual and quick.

Signature dishes: Grilled Tacos
Coffee, Pastries, Snacks, Gelato
