Bandera Restaurant, American Cooking In CDM.
Bandera is part of the Hillstone Restaurant Group — A collection of high quality restaurants that serve great food. Walking from the nearby beach in Corona Del Mar (CDM), we stopped in Bandera on PCH. This day we had the Sliced Leg of Lamb with Red Chili Sauce and Escabèche. I love the Escabèche and want to go back for more. The Lamb was good too, but I’m not sure about its presentation — It looked a little deflated. 🙂
Halibut was the Fresh Fish and we got it with the Braised Red Cabbage and Goat Cheese. The Halibut couldn’t have been better and I recognize the Cabbage from Houston’s, another Hillstone Group Restaurant. And I’ve previously posted a Copycat Recipe for the Braised Red Cabbage HERE on Nibbles of Tidbits.

I love Escabeche too! Especially if it’s done with fresh fishes. Though I haven’t tried it there in Bandera Restaurant. All the pictures looks yummy! Makes me crave. Gotta check out the place soon.
