FrontRunner Description:
For a different dining experience, this definitely fits the bill. It starts with the view when situated at one of the tables in this 500-seat restaurant: that of the Santa Anita race track and the San Gabriel Mountains. Then the ambience when the dining room, which is stretched along the track's finish line, fills up with excitement from the bidders. Don't be discouraged by the very large number of guests that can be served all at the same time: there are two kitchens under the control of chef Tom O'Connor, backed up by a small army of cooks. They are using fresh ingredients to bring to your plate their a must crab cakes, steamed Manila clams, vine-ripe tomato salad, grilled Sonoma lamb chops or swordfish with a ratatouille tartlets. Save room for the desserts that are showcased at the entrance. Each table is equipped with a TV to follow the races, so take your time and enjoy! Very good service.
