Wife and I are going to drive up the California coast in late October. We plan on stopping in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Anyone have any suggestions on places to eat while we are there? I don't mind suggestions for an expensive dinner, but I'm more interested in $25-$30 per person or less kind of places. Anything unique to the area would be great. If you want to recommend specific dishes that would be welcome as well. Thanks in advance.
SAN DIEGO Christophers by the Sea in LaJolla LA The Arches in Newport Beach 555 or 505 or 515 (can't remember) in downtown Long Beach Ocean Ave Cafe in the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica Mexican restaurant on northwest corner of Wilshire at 9th, 10th or 11th SFO John's - home of Dashell Hammet and fetured in both the movie and the book "The Maltese Falcon". Scoma's in Saulsalito Firenzi's by Night Allegro Venticello's Izzy's for steaks
LA -- Ciudad SF-- Agree on Scoma's, though the location on the Wharf is good and easier to get to If you get to Napa, go to Mustard's Grill
