For Cetrella, a stylish restaurant in Half Moon Bay, sophistication and elegance come easily, making it a splendid choice for an intimate dinner, while events and weddings become very memorable affairs for all concerned. The ambiance is seductive and jazz notes in the background create a laidback atmosphere in which to enjoy the delicious food. The cuisine bears Mediterranean, Italian and French influences and they take pains to ensure that all ingredients are locally sourced and fresh.

A look at the menu might tempt you to begin with pan seared artisan foie gras served with roasted frog hollow cherries and muscovado sugar and later on there's a tantalizing mesquite grilled lamb chop and braised neck, rosemary pomme fondante and spring vegetable medley. No need to feel guilty as you order the Tahitian vanilla crème brûlée with caramelized pineapple for dessert and enjoy a drink from their 400 odd collection which features wine from at least ten countries.
