"Approximate Drive Time: Usually around 2.5 hours by car Why it’s worth it: This is restaurant is more than worth the drive for the view alone, though the menu of dishes like celery root agnolotti and wagyu short ribs isn’t too shabby. Make reservations to coincide with sunset for the ultimate experience." - Eater Staff
