Lido Restaurant Description:
Chef Evan Treadwell, a 20-plus-year veteran who worked with renowned chefs Jeremiah Tower and Gary Danko, offers Central Coast wine country cuisine that's sophisticated yet unpretentious. With a panoramic view of the Pacific's edge, this resort offers everything the savvy traveler desires, and they'll find the Lido crowded with locals who know it as one of the premier restaurants in the area. The friendly and knowledgeable dining room staff keeps service humming, but it's Treadwell's seasonal menu that beckons foodies, especially those looking for locally sourced products. Crispy pizzettas and small plates join appetizers such as a "BLT Wedge" salad with house-made green goddess dressing or pan-seared Cayucos abalone. For the main dish, enjoy classics such as osso buco or filet mignon pepper steak, house-made pappardelle with shellfish, or the decadent mac 'n' cheese with caramelized cipollini onions. The seasonal menu extends to dessert, where pastry chef Benjie Puga might offer a luscious Kabocha squash flan or a chocolate-hazelnut torte with whimsical caramel comets. Tuesday evenings, wine aficionados gather to meet local winemakers offering tastes paired with passed pizzettas, and Lido's own wine list has many local gems and a well-chosen global selection.
