PASCAL
by Wine Spectator

Pascal Olhats’ Provençal restaurant is hidden away in a nondescript shopping center, but you’d never know it from the elegant feel inside. It is the kind of place that inspires loyal regulars, such as Peter Ueberroth, who headed the group that bought Pebble Beach a while ago. The Pebble Beach crowd would feel right at home at Pascal: It’s a place for ties and colorful summer dresses, tables of eight for special celebrations, and romantic two-tops for young-at-heart retirees. The hearty French food includes sweetbreads with morels, rabbit with mustard sauce, and a well-stocked cheese cart with 15 varieties.
