The steak was very good, I had it both nights. My gf had the salmon both nights and thought it good but nothing special. The two issues I had with dinner were limited choices and some weird combinations/execution. Beyond the steak, and to a lesser degree, the salmon, none of the mains were appealing to me. For appetizers, the green gazpacho was excellent, but the charred baby gems was a deeply flawed conception, poorly executed. The halibut ceviche tasted fishy. On the poolside menu, the quesadilla was pretty good, but the green pea and edamame hummus was just awful. Breakfast was solid, no complaints there (except for under roasted coffee beans, but that's a personal taste issue).

Don't think Dolan is really a contributor at this point. Glass is the main problem, with Creek and August both contributing.

It's very bad in Carmel Valley this morning. The forecasts are proving meaningless. Seeing the same phenomenon have seen in the east bay lately, with light onshore winds pushing the worst air (and the heat) upslope from the coast.
