Huntington Beach California
Outdoor Dining All Year Long
Huntington Beach, California
--Are you looking for some neat eats
in Huntington Beach? Neat is
defined as cool, good, nice,
fun...and spice. Some of our
favorite cafes and restaurants
include atmosphere and quality food.
Sometimes you'll settle for a little
less of one or the other but when
you live or visit the beach
communities such as Southern
California's Huntington Beach,
you're nearly assured good weather
and a scent of the ocean from most
places.
From Doggie Diners such as Park
Bench Cafe to kiddie diners such as
Chuck E. Cheese, those fun places
are obviously ideal for a specific
clientele. For the general populace,
Alice's Breakfast in the Park offers
ducks, a lake, country charm and
delicious, hot cinnamon rolls.
Gyu Kaku Japanese
restaurant features smokeless grills where the
customer does the cooking at his
table. Kobe beef, thinly sliced
meats and marinated vegetables make
great faire even better when you
prepare it yourself.
Hawaiian themed fun overlooking the
Huntington Beach Pier is available
for your pleasure at Dukes
Huntington Beach. Two of the top
jazz clubs, Martini Blues offers top quality
music while you dine.
Hotel faire is some offers the
city's staple of fine dining. Chef
Jeff Littlefield brought the HB
world "gourmet" when he introduced
fine banquet food, new menus and
experimental dishes to the
Hilton Waterfront Resort in
Huntington Beach some 10+ years ago.
Time flies, but his contributions
raised the bar on HB's gourmet
faire. The Hilton's outdoor dining
at Shades is patio seating
overlooking the hotel's swimming
pool, which overlooks the Pacific
Ocean. It's casual, yet nice.
Next came Adam Navadi to the
Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach
Resort and Spa. These hotels
must be treating their chefs right,
because Navadi likewise brought in
some out-of-this-world wines and
things that taste delicious with
them. He shops around for the best
locally grown (California) cheeses,
meats and fish, and his preparations
are worthy of notice. The
Californian features outdoor tables,
but your best outdoor seating is as
Pete's Grille, overlooking a
courtyard where sunsets can be seen.
There's no live music at Tuna Town
Teppan and Sushi restaurant but one
of the best sound systems keeps the
atmosphere rocking in a very stylish
restaurant owned by a member of the
rock band Korn. It's a fun place in
downtown Huntington Beach to drink
sake and eat fish dishes,
especially.
