Head to Vaca, the hot, new restaurant run by Season 13 runner-up of Top Chef season 13 runner-up Amar Santana. This pan-Spanish tapas restaurant serves shared plates, along with dry-aged steaks and a killer Spanish wine list.

Spanish eatery providing a mix of tapas & family-style dishes in airy, contemporary digs with a bar. $$$

Famed chef Amar Santana dishes up great food; recommend trying the Vacatonic. YUM. Amar also has an equally great restaurant, Broadway, located in Laguna Beach.

This is an upscale steakhouse with fabulous cuts of meat. My favorite on the corporate dime.
