The welcoming space captures the feeling of the area's early Plein Air paintings. Open to the land and sea, Studio is warmed with muted colors, rustic wood beams and plush, comfortable furnishings.

Custom-built wine vaults flank the entryway and spotlight 2,200 bottles of the restaurant's wine collection. Sample fine wines and small tastes at the communal bar area table or at the turn-of-the-century bar.

Tables are well spaced throughout the dining room. Enjoy views and intimate conversation with each course. Or indulge in a private room complete with stone fireplace and Chef's Table with generous, exclusive views of the elegant kitchen.

A look inside reveals that Studio's kitchen, designed by Steve Marshall of San Francisco, resembles a private French country kitchen on a grand scale. Warm granite surfaces, tiled floors and walls and Craftsman-style cabinetry show off the imported French kitchen focal points – an exclusive Molteni range and Pavailler ovens.

Studio seats 80. A private dining room can seat 24 and the private Chef's Table can accommodate parties of up to 12. Seasonal outdoor tables can seat 40 additional people.
