Laguna Beach, United States
On Pacific Coast Highway where Laguna Beach's gallery district gives way to open ocean views, Starfish occupies a position in the coastal casual-to-refined dining spectrum that relatively few restaurants along this stretch manage with consistency.

A reliable option for visitors who want something between boardwalk casual and full fine dining.

Berikon, Switzerland
Stars and Stripes sits on Bernstrasse in Berikon, a quiet Aargau commune that draws little of the dining attention directed at Zurich or Basel.

Hingham, United States
A practical pick for casual waterfront comfort food in Hingham, especially when the table includes kids, groups, brunch people, or diners with different dietary needs.

Vienna, Austria
Stastino sits in Vienna's 23rd district, at the southern edge of the city where the restaurant scene thins and neighbourhood dining takes on a different character.

Nashville, United States
Stateside Kitchen is worth booking for a downtown Nashville celebration, especially brunch or dinner with drinks, where the design-forward room and energetic hotel setting matter.
