The Montage Resort is a hub of healthy living and it resonates from its spa services to its extracurricular activities. The entire facility is based on good health, and its dining options are no exception. The most elegant of those restaurants is Studio, a lavishly designed room with a 280-degree view of the ocean and one of the healthiest menus in the county. Yes, the menu is tailored towards the heath conscious, but its opulence is never compromised. Dishes such as pan-seared New Zealand John Dory, Alaskan king salmon and vintage tenderloin are paired with nutritious sides like shaved artichokes, golden raisins and matsutake mushrooms. The vegetable tasting menu, although pricey, contains an extraordinary array of rare organics such as baked Braeburn heirloom apple stuffed with sheep's milk yogurt and walnuts, and the chickpea-olive oil crepe with haricot vert and globe artichokes. Studio proves a restaurant can create a rich menu while keeping its clientele's health in mind.

the food here is very good if you like stiff service and know you can always go across the street to the diner to get some real food

A great dining experience on April 14, 2004. Excellent service, wonderful ambience. The amuse bouche, the sweets with coffee and all the little extras make this a top notch dining, romantic and special experience.

Expertly prepared food is served by unobtrusive but alert waitstaff.The room is festive and,at the same time,restful.A lovely experience.On the downside are high prices,small portions,and the place is hard to find.
