"North County’s Michelin-starred establishment continues to impress with its exquisite cocktails and even traditionally prepared absinthe. Beverage director Andrew Cordero, regarded as one of the top cocktail developers in the city, infuses new flavors into beloved classics. His French 75, for example, gets a twist with calamansi, while the bourbon-cognac-based Old Fashioned is enhanced with cacao, hazelnut, and peach bitters. Those avoiding alcohol will be delighted to see the mocktails get all the sparkle and charm of the main event." - Kelly Bone
