The Top 11 Wine Bars Near The Great Oak Steakhouse
-
Rank 1. Mille Fleurs Restaurant
Californian French
-
Rank 2. Market Restaurant + Bar
International
The chef's seasonal cooking swings between continents—blue cheese soufflé one moment, miso-glazed cod the next—in a dark, elegant room that eschews pretense. Sushi anchors the menu, but the real draw is the restless creativity that justifies the tony Del Mar crowd.
-
Rank 3. Workshop Kitchen & Bar
Farm-to-table New American
A Spanish colonial building hollowed out for modernist austerity: polished concrete, a mist-cooled courtyard, and wood-fired dishes that draw from the Coachella Valley's agricultural surplus. The flat iron au poivre and yuzu tart—garnished with farm-fresh raspberries and wood sorrel—prove the kitchen's restraint. House-made ginger beer anchors a bar program that balances tradition and invention.

Rank 6. Paradisaea
New American
A tropical reverie in La Jolla, complete with hibiscus-patterned chairs and a patio that catches the sun just right. The kitchen applies Asian and tropical touches to local ingredients—coconut shrimp kissed by robata heat, halibut fried golden and set against watermelon radish with green curry aioli. Tiki drinks anchor the bar, and everything tastes like vacation tastes on the best days.

Rank 7. The Fishery
Seafood
A restored warehouse in Pacific Beach houses both a working seafood market and open kitchen, where the catch of the day becomes calamari with spicy aioli, rock crab fettuccine, or oysters that taste like they were pulled from the ocean minutes before service. The menu follows the market rather than the other way around, a discipline that keeps everything tasting of salt water and restraint.
