Stonehill tavern

Here are some drool worthy pictures (sans the one of me) from my dinner last night at STONEHILL TAVERN. Nestled in the ultra posh St. Regis Resort at Monarch Beach, this restaurant has Pacific Ocean views and a chic dining space designed by the renowned Tony Chi. The young and gifted Adam Keough is the Executive Chef of STONEHILL and the food is consistently flavorful, and constantly evolving with the seasons. Perfect for a romantic weekend getaway or a power business dinner – STONEHILL TAVERN is a sure hit for many occasions. Just take a look at the photos below and you will see for yourself…   asiago cheese rolls stonehill tavern

    Not only did this make me hungry, it made me thirsty too. The red grape sangria is calling my name.

    Love the asiago cheese rolls. They are truly melt in your mouth good and as you say addicting. The problem is you have to try and not eat so many in the begininning of the meal to save room for everything else.

    Mika san… these are great shots…are they from your phone cam? Not bad if so… The Bon Bons look incredible, but for me the picture of you smiling is the best one.

    Happy dining fellow foodie!
