Looking for perfect venue for 50th Wedding Anniversary Sunday Brunch/Lunch

[jujup]

Hey L.A. Chowhounders -- I am from San Diego and need your help in finding the perfect venue for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration next month. We will have a small family group (about 10 people) to celebrate during a Sunday brunch or lunch. I am looking for a place with a special celebratory atmosphere and excellent food. Some people in our party are more inclined toward healthy/vegetarian eating, while others appreciate meaty, spicy foods. We will be centered in the Long Beach area, but are willing to venture out significantly in other directions for the right place. I would love your ideas on the right place to make this a special occasion!

Cache, Fig and Whist are worth a look and all offer patio dining if that is an inducement.
