I would be happy to have your list here.<br /><br /> I did a lot of reading on the subject on Chowhound.com. Much of the discussion seemed to center on which restaurant had the better view.

I'd say SMA is quite atypical.<br /><br />But it´s a great place to eat. That´s for sure. That alone makes it atypical.<br /><br />Would have been far easier to drive, I think.<br /><br />I´ve stayed at the San Sebastian. Good price, good location.
