This is a beautiful restaurant owned and inspired by Wolfgang Puck. There is much variety on the menu, including meats, pasta, and seafood. The wine list is extensive, with many wines available by the glass. Service was very attentive. For my main entree, I had a halibut dish with a sauce made with coconut milk. It was very delicious.

My dinner at Postrio remains to be one of my most memorable.
Postrio comes from the Wolfgang Puck lineage of restaurants, serving up dishes that are influenced and characterized as Californian/Asian/Mediterranean cuisine. It's a bit pricey, but if you're looking for exciting ambiance, a satisfying meal and delicious desserts, you can justify the splurge after the fact.
When you walk into the place, you'll see the bar. But as you walk further, the hostess will lead you down the red carpeted steps where you'll be stunned by the panoramic view of the grand space of the main dining room. Pat Kuleto designed the space that aims to impress and inspire with modern, but beautiful decor and light fixtures. The place has a creative and fun side. With very high ceilings and an exposed kitchen, it's a good place to see all the action and still feel like you can have a romantic dinner for two.
Their dishes are creative, but not pretentious. You can order one of Puck's famous pizzas or try what California Cuisine has become: a fusion of unique ingredients and tastes borrowed from different cultures that populate the California landscape.
Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, you have to try their desserts. Their creme brulee is the best I've ever had. They even have a dessert sampler for those who want a little taste of everything.
A special dining experience and food that will leave you craving for another Postrio meal when you feel like you deserve to splurge again.
