"This 7,000-square-foot warehouse resting on the banks of the San Dieguito Lagoon is home to Del Mar’s first brewery. Also a tasting room and restaurant, Viewpoint affords visitors a front-row sight of the lagoon and Wildlife Bird Reserve. Offering a full service dining program, the Del Mar venue has a selection of shareables, salads, flatbreads, burgers, a little-one-pleasing kid’s menu, and on the weekends, brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Adobada is a best seller here — try anything from adobada lettuce wraps, fries, and macaroni and cheese to chilaquiles. Although beer is the star of the show, the restaurant also has mimosa flights and top wines selected by the in-house sommelier." - Jackie Bryant
