« {taste tested}: chocolate covered pomegranate seeds | Main | happy lady says... »
For a lovely brunch or lunch by the ocean, take your dearest to dine at Kitchen 1540 in the L'Auberge Hotel in Del Mar. Like a mini sun-filled vacation, the modern space surely feels like an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. The almond french toast was a decadent breakfast treat while the beet salad offered a refreshing lunch-perfect palate cleanser.
Final thoughts...4 out of 5 happy ladies for calm ambiance, service, and delicious fare.
