Bayonet and Black Horse, Seaside, CA

I was recently on the Monterrey Peninsula for work, but still managed to enjoy quite a bit of the beautiful views that are so famous in this part of the world.  The regimen that our team was on left us pretty hungry and without a clear culinary opportunity, when one of the project engineers suggested that we go to this country club for lunch.  It was an uncharacteristically clear day and the sun was shining bright.  We sat out on the deck, which overlooked a recently renovated golf course, but beyond that was the gorgeous Central California coast line dotted with cypress trees.  The lunch was sandwiches that are the large size you associate with clubs, and the side salad was enough for a meal in itself.  The price was reasonable, and I had enough left over that I had it for dinner, and the meal was memorable for both the view and the company.
