Roy Yamaguchi has won a James Beard Award and has celebrity chef status, and his namesake restaurant at Pebble Beach offers one of the most delightful fine-dining experiences. The suggested attire is “resort style,” which means a little more than removing the Stetson. Selections like prosciutto-wrapped sea bass or panko-crusted rack of lamb are inspired by Hawaiian cuisine and other international influences. No buffalo or fry bread here, although Roy’s could do some amazing things with both.
