Renaissance Club Sport, continued ...

According to the Citrus Fresh Grill’s extraordinary menu, every item offered by the restaurant is prepared to be less than 485 calories – how many menus can say that? However, they know we don’t always want to be good, so the “Other” menu is also offered, where you will find Angus burgers, steaks and pastas.
   
We shared a 10 oz. filet mignon, with garlic mashed potatoes, camboloza fondue and miso-glazed
Chilean sea bass – outrageous! The sea bass was particularly epic – a 2-inch-high, melt-in-your-
mouth filet served with parsnip ravioli and edamame … fantastic.
   
The dessert presentation features a variety of small bites for $2.25 each. You get just enough to satisfy without going crazy, and with the modest prices, you’re encouraged to mix it up. We had Old Fashioned Cheesecake and German Chocolate Cake. The cheesecake was the stand-out – traditional, rich and creamy.
   
The next morning, I enjoyed a decadent Sea C Spa Facial at R Spa. R Spa is small, yet perfectly appointed with smoky blue hues and exceptional service. Young, my esthetician, was highly skilled and knowledgeable with a deft, firm touch. My skin still shows the results.
   
If you are looking for lodging for out-of-town guests or want a local getaway with something for the whole family, look no further than Renaissance Club Sport in Aliso Viejo.
