Savoy, Costa Mesa

Located inside The Hotel Hanford, Savoy Restaurant & Lounge cultivates a posh, inviting atmosphere with bronze-leather club chairs flanked by plum-colored satin pillows and ambient-lit dining quarters. In the mornings, eggs, fruit-speckled pancakes, and upscale breakfast staples fuel hotel patrons and passers-through for the day ahead. In the evening, plates brim with upscale American cuisine complemented by scores of wines from Tuscany, Sonoma, and Spain, whose disparate life stories make for interesting conversation pieces when there are no humans interested in talking. While enjoying diverse wines cozied up in chic deep-purple chairs at the full bar, patrons dig into dishes of butternut squash ravioli with bacon, almonds, and pecorino cheese as they bask in their environs' rich, metallic tones.
