The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay in Half Moon Bay, Calif., debuted the resort’s newly renovated and reconcepted oceanfront restaurant, The Conservatory. Boasting a modern beach house aesthetic and a new vibrant menu curated by executive chef Xavier Salomon, the newly transformed restaurant combines fresh, homegrown cuisine and carefully crafted cocktails for an elevated yet relaxed dining experience.

Greeting guests with dramatic floor-to-ceiling ocean views the moment they enter the lobby, The Conservatory invites guests to embark on a culinary journey inspired by fresh flavors of land and sea combined with Northern California’s rich local bounty. The new menu features handmade pasta dishes, the finest seafood and premium cuts, and decadent desserts that reflect distinct coastal flavors with a touch of Mediterranean flair.

Menu highlights include the ‘Towers’—offered in varying displays of seafood, cheeses, charcuterie and vegetables – along with items such as chickpea and avocado tartine with wild arugula and grilled ACME sourdough; lacinato kale salad with Point Reyes bleu cheese, satsuma, walnuts, and citrus vinaigrette; and grilled carrots with cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic caper vinaigrette.
