Our dining experience at The Plumed Horse was exceptional! We were a party of five and had the 4-course prix fixe menu, which was exquisitely crafted. For dessert, we shared the entire dessert menu, and every bite was a delight. The elegant ambiance and impeccable service made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend it for a truly special night out!

Awesome time. A great dining experience. Service was on point. Only confusing part of evening was our seating arrangement. We only had outside option. But inside was 50% empty. Makes no sense. We watched another couple leave when they couldn’t sit inside.

We made a reservation for 530pm. Out day wine tasting got done early so we made our way back to the resort. Had a dip in the hot tub before heading over to catch the tail end of sunset with the most spectacular view of the bay. The day, so we thought, couldn’t get any better. The bartender was fairly nice but the vibe was really good. Didn’t feel rushed and even took our drinks over to a fire pit on another patio. Really just a great spot especially for being at a hotel. Usually they are stale and boring. Not here, there was even live music.
