I LOVE trying out new restaurants wherever I ago. Admittedly, I often plan my trips around the food more than anything else. {Sad, but true.} But every once in a while, I come across a gem that was off my radar. I find that rarely do I love restaurants when they are just picked on a whim, but there are always the exceptions.
Old Place is one of the exceptions. Last Saturday, B and I headed out of the city toward Malibu to scope out some wineries for my parents' visit in a couple of weeks. One of the wineries we visited was a place called
Cornell Winery & Tasting Room in Agoura Hills. We were instantly charmed.
Unfortunately, the tasting room was unable to serve wine that day due to an issue with the state, but we were told to head to the restaurant next door {Old Place} where we would be able to have a glass of wine. Of course, we followed orders and, boy, am I glad we did because apparently we stumbled upon a local favorite, and for good reason.
Not only was the decor of the restaurant warm and inviting, but the food was delicious. B got a steak sandwich cooked on the fire pit out back with the butteriest, creamiest noodle bake on the side, and I had a wild mushroom and goat cheese frittata served in a cast iron skillet with sourdough toast on the side slathered in the most delicious salty butter ever.
Our lunch was amazing, but we were told that dinner is even better. I'm thinking we'll be making a return trip very soon.
