Exquisite fine dining from beginning to end, truly a beautiful experience. Beautiful and creative dishes with bright vibrant flavors and gorgeous plating. The service was flawless, from small things like the timing of each plate to them pulling your chair out and finding a new napkin folded on your plate when returning from the restroom. Just lovely, and it was extra nice Massimo came out to our table and interacted with some of the guests.

Truly an exceptional culinary experience from start to finish. This Michelin-starred restaurant makes it immediately clear why it holds such distinction. From the moment we were seated, the service was nothing short of remarkable—attentive, professional, and genuinely delightful. Our servers guided us through the menu with enthusiasm and insight, turning the evening into an unforgettable gastronomic journey. The chef’s complimentary amuse-bouches were a beautiful opening touch.

Each course was presented with meticulous attention to detail. The plating was stunning—vibrant, artful, and thoughtfully composed—perfectly showcasing the chef’s creativity and vision. The staff demonstrated flawless technique when presenting the dishes, enhancing the overall elegance of the experience. The added stories and background shared about the ingredients and preparation further enriched the meal, highlighting the care, intention, and passion behind every plate.

Portions were balanced perfectly. Each dish offered enough to savor deeply while ensuring we never felt overwhelmed, allowing us to fully appreciate the progression of flavors throughout the tasting menu. Every bite was a standout—beautifully seasoned, expertly cooked, and bursting with carefully layered flavors that showcased top-tier culinary mastery.

The setting only heightened the evening. Ocean views framed the meal with serene beauty, and the live piano music added a romantic, immersive ambiance that elevated the entire experience.

A particularly meaningful highlight was their exceptional accommodation of my wife’s celiac disease. The staff showed impeccable care and knowledge, offering gluten-free alternatives—including surprisingly wonderful gluten-free bread—and guiding her through each course with genuine consideration. She felt both safe and celebrated, never once feeling as though her dietary needs compromised the quality of the experience.

Overall, the evening was flawless. Caruso’s delivered a crescendo of culinary artistry that was the perfect finale to our vacation. We highly recommend it and will absolutely be returning.

Exceptional all around. You will have a difficult time finding a more satisfying, impressive dining experience in Southern California! Food is out of this world, service is perfect and the ambiance is so serene! They have a wonderful selection of local wines too.

Thank you for one of the most wonderful memorable evenings we have had in a long time! From the moment we walked into the hostess stand we were made to feel welcome. Your entire waitstaff, expertly helmed by Dan & Carlos, made our anniversary and my husband’s birthday so special. We ate a ridiculous amount of delicious food. Each dish was more special than the last. Each morsel a special handcrafted gem. We cannot wait to return and try Massimo’s newest creations.

Everything here was delicious, staff was very friendly and charismatic. They explained everything very clearly to my husband and I, with no issues whatsoever. The ambience was delightful, with the lighting and the view very comfortable and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend this to friends and family, the high price point is more than worth it for the experience we received as newlyweds. We signed up for the “no phones” dining experience, so we didn’t catch any photos.

Had an early Valentine’s Day dinner on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, and Caruso’s set a new bar for us. Everything was immaculate from start to finish. Our server, Dan, was the best I’ve had in my 45 years—attentive, polished, and genuinely elevated the entire experience. The food was incredible, and the ocean views, live pianist, and beautiful décor all work together flawlessly. Can’t recommend it enough, and we’ll absolutely be back.

Highly recommend if your palette loves to go on adventures. We did the Chefs pre-fixe menu. The courses felt like they would never stop. Overall, everything was wonderdul but of course there were a few that stood out and became faves. The staff & servers were absolutely amazing. The attentiveness was unmatched. The GM was nice enough to stop at our table and ask about our experience. Personal service is appreciated. If you have a chance prior to dinner go see Paris at the Manor Bar, she was a ray of sunshine.
Seriously, one of the best dining experiences I have ever had and I have been to many countries & states.

Great fine dining experience. Tried their 4-course menu, we were very full at the end. Food was delicious and using top-notch ingredients. There’s a beach inside the restaurant, I assume in summer you could get beautiful ocean view. The night already went dark for our dinner. Listening to the ocean is also relaxing, though. The restaurant located inside the rosewood hotel, which has splendid decorations and a few luxury shopping options.

A very good meal with a slightly rushed ending.

The cuisine was thoughtfully executed and well-balanced throughout the evening. Flavors were clear, technique confident, and pacing across the courses felt appropriate. The room is elegant without being stiff, and the overall experience reflects a restaurant that understands refinement and restraint.

The only shortcoming came at the very end of the meal. While still enjoying dessert and a final glass of Madeira, we were asked about parking validation and presented with our coats, which created an unintended sense of closure before we were ready to conclude. It was a small moment, but one that interrupted what had otherwise been a calm and considered arc to the evening.

With greater attentiveness to the final moments at the table, this would easily rise to an excellent experience. As it stands, a strong four out of five, and certainly worth visiting.
