For a big night, book Lucien’s tasting menu or a window table at George’s at the Cove. For drama, time a Marine Room dinner with high tide and watch the waves hit the glass. For something easier, order a martini during the Whaling Bar’s 4 to 5 pm Martini Hour at La Valencia, then stroll to La Jolla Cove for sunset.
