Your own private country inn. I have had the pleasure to dine at Marinus many times and each time have been rewarded with a memorable experience. Most recently in February 2006. The food, wait staff, and ambience were perfect. The only objection was the portion size for the entres on the al a carte menu were rather small. this was somewhat off set by the richness of the preperation, but for the prices they charge, they should be able to give you a little more meat. I recommend this restaurant for that special occasion. The food and atmosphere do not disappoint.

Best steak and foie gras. One of the best restaurants I've been to. Great food, great ambience and an extensive wine list. Definitely better than may steak houses around.

Winning Combination. Cal Stamenov's elegant, creative fare is a perfect match for Ben Pon's Carmel Valley gem. The room is tastefully elegant, yet has a very intimate, homey feel, due mostly to the wonderful fireplace and comfortable decor. Cal's food is creative without being pretentious. His Scallops Wellington come to mind as a truly unforgetable dish. The wine list is extensive and well-presented - just what one would expect from a first-class wine country getaway.
