The Cliff House

The Cliff House is the "crown jewel of the largest urban national park in the United States." This historic building is perched on a cliff, looking out on the ocean. There are two options for dining: the casual bistro or the elegant Sutro's, which features floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the ocean. The view alone would make Sutro's a must, but the food is also to die for. Try the bacon crusted loch dart salmon. Little known: Every Tuesday, all bottled wines are 50 percent off with the purchase of an entrée.
