Food & Drink Shopping Activities Outdoor
Best Restaurant
C.

Charlie Trotter's restaurant at the One&Only Palmilla resort is phenomenal: beautiful view, excellent service, and a great place to celebrate.

Best Romantic Restaurant
Sunset Da Mona Lisa.

This hilltop Italian restaurant is the best place to catch the sunset.

Best Wine
Sancho Panza.

This wine bistro, restaurant, and night club has one of the best selections in the area, with a classy atmosphere to match.

Best Bar for a Business Drink
Agua Bar & Lounge at the One&Only Palmilla.

It's my favorite bar because it's exclusive and elegant, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant beside the bar serves delicious Mexican and Mediterranean fare.

Best Steak
La Pampa.

It's a tiny, well kept secret. The owner and employees are from Argentina, so standards are high! It's more casual than Ruth's Chris - and the food's better.
