[El Bizcocho - Restaurant Review
Tucked inside the historic Rancho Bernardo Inn, El Bizcocho offers a dining experience that is exquisite, luxurious and refined. The décor is warm and inviting, while remaining stunningly elegant. The wine list is exceptional, with over 1,600 selections to choose from. And the cuisine is classically French, with a seasonal and artful menu put together by talented and ambitious Chef de Cuisine Gavin Kaysen. Dishes such as sous-vide Lamb Loin and Braised Kobe Short Ribs burst with succulence; for the adventurous, a daily, five-course Menu Degustation offers a true explosion of flavors.
