"Caruso's, located inside The Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel, meets all the criteria for a perfect sunset restaurant: it faces west (essential), it's outdoors, and it sits on a private beach. Plus, the white tablecloth-covered tables are spaced out so you won't be elbow-to-elbow as you watch the sun melt below the horizon. As you might expect from a tasting menu Italian restaurant owned by LA billionaire power-broker Rick Caruso, the classic pasta and seafood dishes here are plated like they have their own stylists. The prix-fixe menu comes with four courses, including dessert, for $165 per person, and as a bonus, you just might be seated next to a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills. If you're looking for a place to get dressed up for a romantic dinner (and splurge), Caruso's is it. " - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
