The California Collection
California, for those of us who live to eat, is everything. Its very name invokes a thousand different ingredients and dishes. The restaurants that best define how we think and feel about dining, within California’s borders and beyond, deserve to be singled out.
Ozumo
Great, consistent, trendy vibe along the Embarcadero and an easy walk from Market Street. It has a great bar area as well as dining. Sushi dishes are outstanding as are the drinks!

Located in a historic house adjacent to the courtyard, 27 Restaurant is Freehand Miami’s first full service restaurant and bar.
