Marina del Rey, Calif.--While The Cheesecake Factory is a great choice for a varied menu and the hearty servings that people sometimes want, a great restaurant just a short walk away at Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey offers a great breakfast and elegant decor.

The Five Diamond Ritz is known for its super bedding, pure comfort and amenities. Jer-ne is beautifully decorated and located on the first floor of the hotel with indoor seating and outdoor patio tables overlooking the Marina del Rey harbor. The hotel has mooring and boat & yacht docks outside the door of the hotel.

Jer-ne features a simple, yet elegant Sunday Brunch spread seen in photo or you can order off the menu. A delicious waffle with strawberry cream & coulis is served on a long platter and looks as good as it tastes. Presentation is key at Jer-ne, but the simply, unique combinations of fruits, creams and flavors enhance the experience. The benedict comes with honey glazed spiral ham, hollandaise and green onion, while lobster lovers need not wait for dinner. Try the lobster benedict with avocado mousse, tomatillo and cotija cheese.  Here's something special: french toast with praline, nutella mousse and banana--OMG!

Lunch is a mix of salads, sandwiches, chicken, fish or pasta. Don't expect the overwhelmingly-large menu that you'll have to study first at nearby Cheesecake Factory. Jer-ne keeps it simple.

Dinner features soups, salads, and approx. 8-10 entree selections ranging from chicken, lamb, fish and rib eye to pasta. Do you think the pasta sounds ordinary? It does until you discover that it is a pasta pumpkin gnocchi containing cured pork belly, pears, walnuts and manchego cheese. Gourmet, all the way!
