Please note that we'll be closed from Sunday, July 27th - Wednesday, August 6th while we add a new, small bar in the Masters Room. We're always looking for ways to improve the restaurant and the Masters Bar will provide a private bar experience, as well as better service our guests in the dining rooms. Be sure to stop by and check it out next month!

Sunday April 27th the annual California Date Chef Competition will be held at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. I spent a few hours working with J.C. (my Sous Chef) this week on the dish we will be creating. It is a Scallop Rockefeller with Smoked Bacon and Date Cannelloni.Dates, bacon, spinach and cheese are a great combination, so with dish I can use them all together.

]]>Some of the ways they are doing this is by not over stocking the waters with fish, and correct feeding methods to ensure healthy fish. Also preserving our ecosystem for the future.
I was very happy to finish this lunch, talk about a hard crowd to please. Us Chef's can be very critical when it comes to food.

All the wines are drinking great, it is nice to see a winery that is known to make great Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese put their best foot forward in the area of Cabernet and Merlot. Cheers to Mike Drash who has been the wine maker at Luna
If you have not tried any of the current releases you are missing out.
Chef Brett Maddock had some of his own creations that he made to go along with this big line up of wines; such as his Coachella Date and Bacon Skewers, Salmon and goat Cheese Pissaladiere, Kobe Beef Sliders with Olive-Truffle Tapenade, Carpaccio with Violet Mustard that is made with the skins of red grapes,and an array of Cheeses. The 10 year aged Cheddar from Carr Valley, Wisconsin was a hit.
