The Bar/Lounge at Cavallo Point

"Murray Circle restaurant specializes in upscale Northern California flavors, while Farley Bar is more relaxed, serving small plates and cocktails around fireplaces"

"Murray Circle, the on-site restaurant, uses top-notch California ingredients and has an impressive wine cellar, and the neighboring casual bar offers food and drink on a large porch"

"Accommodations in both the new and restored buildings are hardly barracklike—with plush carpeting, custom seating, fine workspace, good storage and big baths, many with stall showers and soaking tubs"

"Dinner at this more serious of the two eateries is a must, especially after a few drinks on the veranda of the adjacent Farley Bar (where to go for snacks and cocktails)"
