La Ventana

One of my favorite places that we visited during our anniversary trip to California was The Restaurant at The Ventana in Big Sur. La Ventana literally translates to The Window and this place was definitely a window onto a picture perfect view of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal sequoia trees of the Big Sur.

After a long day of hiking in the Big Sur, we headed here for dinner. Up,up,up we drove for what felt like forever (I was hungry & cranky). Then finally, the trees opened up onto the most exquisite view. We of course decided to sit on the heated patio for dinner where hubby and I shared swordfish and salmon. But first, we ordered the octopus soup to start. Such a unique, yet delicious taste. Definitely, one of the more adventurous foods we ate while in California.

I so enjoyed sitting out on the patio as the sun set. I sipped on wine, while hubby enjoyed a local IPA. Such a wonderful ending to a great day. I cannot wait for the time when Tom and I can have dinner together everyday. Sunset ocean view or not. For now, I'm going to enjoy the time that we do have together.
