Romantic Restaurant

This place is paradise. Located about 10 minutes north of Half Moon Bay, Cafe Gibraltar is a bit off the beaten path... but oh so worth the drive.

The food is UNBELIEVABLY unique, authentic and delicious. It's classified as Mediterranean, but don't expect to find gyros here... Instead, visualize Gibraltar on a map, and then imagine the culinary influences of its neighbors... Spain, France, Morocco, Greece, even Turkey.

Whenever we come to CG, I can feel my salivary glands working overtime as we read the menu and smell the food. They offer a few mainstays, but pride themselves on presenting seasonally fresh, fresh (and organic) food.

The ambiance is casual yet romantic. It's the kind of place where you can go in jeans from the beach, or use your evening out as an excuse to put on a party dress.

And you can't beat the value. Most appetizers are under $10, and entrees are in the $18-$25 range. They offer a special prix fixe from 5-6 during the week.

I know this short review hasn't done CG justice. Just go! I promise you won't be sorry.

This place is a bit overdone, but we went there for my 40th and really enjoyed ourselves. We sat outside on a beautiful evening, and ordered the four course extravaganza. the chocolate fondue was definitely the best part.
