Vela – LCM 44 Summer 2016

A6611242_FECasual poolside elegance and a menu rich in Italian specialty dishes and fresh local seafood are the signature attractions at Vela, one of several excellent onsite dining options at Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort. Handmade pastas are probably the most popular dinner staple, from old-fashioned favorites like spaghetti alla carbonara to more adventurous options like black-and-white pappardelle with jumbo shrimp, jalapeños, cilantro, and tarragon pesto. Meat lovers will appreciate the beef tenderloin and rib eye, both aged for 45 days, as well as the rack of lamb with mint and rosemary gremolata. The house specialty is a memorable totoaba fish picatta with mozzarella, pickle lemon, and peperonata that is so expertly prepared it practically melts in your mouth. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the avocado panna cotta. Views of yachts and fishing boats add to the ambience, as does the romantic live music. Hilton Los Cabos Beach & Golf Resort, km 19.5 on the tourist corridor, (624) 145-6500, www.hiltonloscabos.com. Nightly 6 p.m.–10:30 p.m. All major credit cards accepted.
