One Star: High quality cooking

Set inside Casa Olivea hotel, this charming restaurant displays a confident simplicity and purity of flavor on a frequently changing seasonal menu. It wears its farm-to-table bona fides on its sleeve thanks to pristine produce that arrives daily from nearby acreage that is organically and sustainably tended. Guests select between multicourse vegetarian or seafood-forward menus, with a handful of à la carte offerings, and will find equal satisfaction in main dishes like their daily catch with a celeriac puree or grilled octopus atop mole blanco. Desserts, like caramelized plums with a purple basil sorbet or a squash-filled eclair with kohlrabi ice cream, are particularly intriguing.

"Our actions begin with the garden as the core of the Olivea cuisine. Menus are designed around what is grown on site and sourced through a defined protocol: Valle de Guadalupe first, then Baja California, then Mexico. A research committee guides sourcing, seasonality, and technique. We operate a closed-loop system connecting garden, restaurant, café, fermentation, compost, and return to soil."
