This trendy wine and pizza bar regularly serves up romantic yet casual dinners alongside great tapas and awe-inspiring sunsets. Completely renovated after Hurricane Odile—and as comfy as always—Sunset Point is the perfect place to see the sun dip into the landscape on a hot summer’s night. This is not the fancy white tablecloth restaurant that its adjacent sister restaurant, Sunset da Mona Lisa, is, but it boasts the same incredible bay views. Tapas at the bar are free during happy hour. Other options on the limited menu include a dozen varieties of wood-fired pizza (try the one with sashimi tuna, arugula, Parmesan, tomatoes, and organic pesto). Panini range from veggie to gourmet with fillet of beef, avocado cream, and rocket salad, and even one with smoked salmon. The Rucola salad is fast becoming a favorite; it comes with arugula, goat cheese, prosciutto, and glazed walnuts. And, of course, you can still opt for Caesar salad with or without chicken. A starter choice might be fried calamari with a special house mayo. Pair these options with any of the 180 labels of international wines, and your dinner date will think you hung the full moon that just might be visible on this romantic night.
