Local influences blend with global flavors from the Mediterranean, Mexico, and Asia at this chic Alila Hotel-based restaurant with sweeping coastal views. Grab a seat in the dining room to watch chefs in the open-air kitchen fire up a seasonally changing menu that features dishes like beef carpaccio topped with caviar, corn campanelle with cotija cheese, or R&R Farms New York steak. For a treat, order the Ibérico chops with a side of potato rosti, but be sure to save room for the malted-chocolate bombe with chocolate showcased in four textures.
