Saddle Peak Lodge

13 Cozy LA Bars & Restaurants With Fireplaces - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Walking on the grounds of Saddle Peak is like wandering into another dimension, or Ron Swanson’s hunting lodge in Montana. Located deep in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu, this sprawling, meat-centric restaurant has three separate floors with roaring fireplaces, an actual library, and a patio overlooking the mountains. With giant portions of hard-to-find meats - elk, ostrich, emu, or whatever is on the butcher’s block that night - and stuff like mac and cheese and cast-iron johnnycakes on the menu, there will be plenty to share. But only if you want to." - brant cox
