Sunday brunch at Navio is a true dining experience highlighted by one of the most exquisite and breathtaking settings along the Pacific coast. If I had to find fault with my dining experience it would certainly not be with the sumptuous cornucopia of excellent foods, but with my inability to sample enough of them. This was not my first (and certainly not my last) visit to Navio so I knew from experience to pace my eating and to make my selections carefully ensuring that I did not overeat before dessert. Realizing that Navio's Executive Chef specializes in local freshly caught fish I first concentrate on a wide variety of seafoods, which also include crab claws and shrimp. I also focus on one of my favorites while I am in California, i.e. California sushi. Navio also specializes in offering a wide variety of wines, some selected from wineries in the local area (extra charge for wine). I save the best for last however, diligently surveying the wide array of desserts at the rear of Navio. I am always gratified to find my favorite there, i.e., lemon tarts. If I have a little more room in my stomach I will also sample one of the many exquisite chocolate desserts as well. Now it is time to walk off some of my well earned calories by heading outside and experiencing the remarkable view of the Pacific as I walk along the bluff overlooking the ocean. This Ritz Carlton is a dining delight but does not get 5 stars. I would give it 6 stars!!
Pros: location, setting, parking, ambiance, service
Cons: None that I can think of
