This City of Los Angeles menu has a beautiful cover photo showing an ocean-front garden in Southern California. Despite Google maps, I haven’t succeeded in finding the exact location of the photo, but I suspect it is in the northern part of Laguna Beach, such as Cameo Cove or Emerald Cove.

Like many of the dinner menus we’ve seen since 1958, the menu itself has only table d’hôte offerings, including salmon, lamb chops, veal, chicken, and steak. A smaller menu card may have also offered a chef’s salad.
You’re probably having trouble locating it because it’s not there any longer. The floods of the ’90’s and 2010 caused extensive erosion and cliff collapses in Laguna Beach.If you look at the cliff area beyond the people sitting on the terrace, you can see old scars from previous collapses. I’m pretty sure the house furthest away on the edge of the cliff was one that collapsed in the 1997 storm. Laguna Beach is a nice place as long as it’s not raining hard.
