Nestled against a cliffside, this upscale seafood gem offers breathtaking ocean views and a lavish ambiance, making for a perfect sunset dining experience.
"The Waldorf Astoria’s El Farallon has a postcard setting, tucked into a rocky beachfront that allows guests to enjoy tangerine sunsets. Because the fish comes in fresh every morning, the menu changes daily, but you can still count on a tony “Baja bounty,” a mixed grill selection that may include sea bass, red snapper, yellowfin tuna, and jumbo shrimp for a hearty price tag. You can add lobster if you’re feeling flush, and sides are served family style." - Nili Blanck
"Built on a cliff overlooking the ocean, El Farallon in the Waldorf Astoria feels more like a movie set than real life. Seafood is brought in daily and the menu is designed around what’s caught. Try a bit of everything by ordering the “Baja bounty,” a mixed grill selection of sea bass, red snapper, yellowfin tuna, jumbo shrimp, and lobster (if you want to pay extra). You’ll want to make a reservation well in advance, but regardless of whether you snag a spot for a fresh lunch or a candle-lit dinner at the restaurant’s elegant cliffside terrace, El Farallon always delivers. photo credit: Michael Vos" - Nili Blanck
