The Marine Room lures a well-heeled crowd to its sleek environs. Set within a luxury beach resort in the exclusive La Jolla enclave, it feels every bit the posh club. It’s also a romantic spot to celebrate a special date, thanks to those dramatic sea views at sundown—when a spectrum of colors light up the sky. Land a table at high tide, when the waves come crashing against their westward-facing windows, for a truly enchanting experience. The suggestion of jackets for gentlemen isn't the only nod to tradition; the kitchen trots out classics like surf and turf as well as a Caesar salad prepared guéridon style. Some items steer a bit too ambitious; while others, like the trio of lobster, ahi tuna and Kona kampachi, benefit from a deft hand.
