Winding headlands lead to Murray Circle—the restaurant at Fort Baker's Cavallo Point, also a lodge with dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and SF city. A nostalgic sense of history flows through this charming arena with its pressed-tin ceilings, wagon wheel light fixtures, and front porch dotted with rocking chairs—Murray Circle's colonial spirit entertains guests as well as the general public. A meal features crispy squid mixed with fried jalapeños; then parcels of Parmesan gnocchetti blended with asparagus, fava beans, and hearts of palm. You must not pass up on an excellent torte layering lemon chiffon and key lime curd, garnished with a mango and mint brunoise. During the week, a reasonable lunch prix-fixe lures folks from far and wide.
