"Perched high with an oceanfront view, Encinitas’s Alila Marea Beach Resort and its destination restaurant Vaga lend a romantic feel to any date night (certain dish names, like the “Venus clams,” enhance the feeling). Start with the confit-style duck carnitas, which come with black beans, salsas, and homemade tortillas, or the aguachile-like tuna crudo for a lighter touch. Main plates like the smoked short rib or half-chicken make for an easy sharing situation, grounded by sides like a crisp potato rosti pocked with caviar. Wash it all down with a pour from the smartly curated wine menu." - Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff
