Located in the wild hills above Malibu, the award-winning Saddle Peak Lodge has been a favorite of in-the-know Angelenos for years. The rustic, hunt club-like interior features exposed logs, stonework, animal trophies and fishing gear, along with white linens and elegant table settings that perfectly accentuate the cuisine. Under new ownership since 2016, the seasonally shifting menu continues to center on fish and game (as it has all along), but also includes steak, lamb, seafood and pork, with many being offered grilled over mesquite. Sunday brunch is a good alternative if you can't make it for dinner; be sure to try the Wild Game Sausage Trio if you visit then. Weather permitting, dine on the patio, as the views are spectacular.
