Saddle Peak Lodge delicious diversions by PEAK PERFORMANCE This time, I thought we’d finally done it. Our young daughter has already dined in enough starred restaurants to build her own little Michelin culinary constellation. While we’ve had some near misses with Cheerios blanketing leather banquettes and sippy cups intermingling with Speigelau stemware, we’d always managed to go fancy and emerge unscathed. (At least no one’s kicked us out yet!) But as I climbed the three flights of stairs up to our table at Calabasas’s iconic Saddle Peak Lodge, I felt a looming cloud of dining dread. Tightly packed tables, tight-lipped diners in jackets and diamonds, tempting stuffed animals everywhere that were not exactly Gund or Beanie Baby. This had disaster written all over it, and I was furious with myself for not dialing up Mademoiselle L., our fantastic nanny, who’d have been only too happy to earn some extra weekend cash. No, we had decided to bring the teetering, teething one-year old with us to Saddle Peak, so there was nothing to do but dig in, eat as quickly as the kitchen would Bonnie Graves Saddle Peak Lodge 88 Luxury Life & Style May/June 2008
