"Located by the Pacific Beach boardwalk, this modern steak and seafood restaurant anchors the Tower 23 Hotel. Open every day at 9 a.m. for breakfast, it’s business as usual on New Year’s Day. Popular favorites include the citrus scallop salad, poke bowl, chilaquiles with chorizo scrambled eggs, and a wagyu burger with gruyere cheese and caramelized onions, accompanied by truffle fries. Choose your own adventure with Mr. Black’s Espresso Martini or Abuela’s Paloma made with a non-alcoholic agave spirit." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
