 Set in the elegant old-world Mediterranean resort The Grand Del Mar, Amaya may be the casual restaurant at the hotel, but it's still a study in opulence and good taste. Opt for a seat in the attractive bar area, a large booth in the dining room or an al fresco spot under the striped awning on the terrace. Guests can start the day off with a plate of smoked salmon and an egg white frittata with spinach, tomatoes and goat cheese, or nibble on truffle fries and burgers at lunch. Chef Camron Woods deftly prepares lovely California-meets-the-Mediterranean-style food that’s impressive. His mushroom risotto makes for an earthy, aromatic delight, while seared scallops are served three ways, with caponata, rosemary potato with tomato-caper berry jam, and apple-raisin chutney. Toffee cheesecake and strawberry-almond shortcake are sweet ends to the meal. Go big with a memorable three-course tasting menu with wine pairings ($85) from an exciting list (focusing on Spain, Italy and France) prepared by sommelier Jesse Rodriguez. If you choose to bring your own wine for your meal, corkage is $25.
