Claremont Club & Spa: Create memories to treasure with a celebration of this year’s Holidays in the Hills at the Berkeley-based Limewood Bar and Restaurant’s outdoor dining deck. Here is where you’ll find stunning sunset views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Tamalpais. Or choose the inside dining room and convivial bar, equally memorable. Look for farm-to-table dishes at this “castle on the hill” sitting at the base of Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve. A longtime favorite, Limewood is part of the Claremont Club & Spa whose amenities boast an impressive spa, and tennis courts. a seasonal skating rink, fitness center, and more. I recently visited the Limewood and found the views, the cuisine, and the ambiance the perfect setting for a romantic and relaxing interlude. Perfect to celebrate the holiday season, it’s long been a popular local destination as well.
