NINE-TEN Restaurant & Bar

Inside the historic Grande Colonial Hotel, Chef Jason Knibb runs a kitchen built around daily deliveries from local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers, earning a Michelin Guide nod for California cuisine that changes with what's fresh. Reservations go through OpenTable or a direct call to the restaurant. The dining room reads as relaxed rather than formal, drawing what Michelin called 'beachy sorts,' with tables along the front sidewalk and a back patio overlooking the hotel pool. Lunch turns casual, with sandwiches and salads standing in for the daily-changing dinner menu.
