Where to find the hotel’s signature dining
Gaylord Pacific lists several signature venues on property that cover different dining moods — from formal steakhouse evenings to coastal and regional Mexican menus. Old Hickory Steakhouse is the resort’s flagship surf‑and‑turf steakhouse for dinner service.
Trēō Kitchen + Bar serves all‑day California cuisine (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with seasonal, locally sourced items. Marzul Coastal Cuisine focuses on Regional Mexican (Baja Med) and Coastal California foods and overlooks the boatyard and bay; its weekend schedule differs from weekday hours.
