This restaurant, at the Ventana Inn, shows off nature’s bounty from its wide, rustic, outdoor patio with sturdy redwood tables shaded by market umbrellas. If you can’t sit outside, the dining room is warm and cozy, with tall windows, a large stone fireplace, wood-beamed ceilings and a bird’s-eye view of the exhibition kitchen, where you’ll watch as plates of Mediterranean fare are prepared from California’s finest ingredients.
