The Best Restaurants to Try in Del Mar, California | Eater San Diego

"Overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway, coastal Del Mar restaurant Beeside Balcony offers both indoor and outdoor seating at its second-floor perch. The owners have since expanded to a second La Jolla location with a speakeasy called Honey Pot Lounge. Mediterranean dishes shine here, like Spanish octopus, whole branzino, pork osso bucco, and whole grilled fish of the day. Grazing boards with house-made dips, meats, and cheeses pair nicely with their wines and cocktails. Happy hour runs from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m., featuring $9 cocktails like Lavender Bee’s Knees with honey from the chef’s very own beehives." - Helen I. Hwang
