Tonight I had dinner with Richard at Beau Rivage to celebrate our anniversary. Actually, our first date was here, over 3 years ago :-P
This restaurant never ceases to take my breath away. It's located off of PCH in Malibu a couple of minutes north of Pepperdine U. The decor is amazing - it is rated as the most romantic restaurant in Southern California, as well as earning a ranking in the Top 10 places to kiss in LA"... seriously our waiter told us that ~.~
Usually when I come here I order the lobster or the lobster pasta... tonight I decided to try something different. I had the Santa Barbara Prawns served with a spicy linguine-- it was amazing! The prawns were oversized and grilled to perfection with just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. Not to mention they were all female and loaded with eggs. Yum! Even Richard said that his Bistecca alla Fiorentina was "almost as good as Mastro's" which is a VERY high compliment coming from him. Unfortunately though, my entree was actually a special for the evening so I don't think they have it year-round.
I always love the scenic drive up to this hidden restaurant, it really puts you in the mood for a quiet, private dinner. I also love that the restaurant isn't always over-crowded like the newer over-hyped West Hollywood eateries. This place will always be on the top of my list for special occasion dining.
