I've been past the Cliff House several times when I lived in LA, but I never
stopped. If I'm ever out that way again, I'll stop next time. Thanks,
Dimitri.

Nope - that's a spell up the road in Moro Bay California.

If you don't want to cook, then a little further you can go to the Sea Shanty
in Cayucos for their Local Catch Fish & Chips preceded by their Boston Clam
Chowder. HOWEVER save room for their MUD PIE.

Thanks for the heads-up. It's on the next point south of my old
surfing haunt, Rincon. I've passed it countless times over the years
and seen the sign for the Cliff House. But I didn't know about the
restaurant until now. We'll check it out on our next visit friends
further north.

On second thought, after checking their menus and wine list we might
have to spend a night or two at the inn before we get to Santa
Barbara.
