Where Walk-Ins Are Welcome on Valentine’s Day 

Valentine’s Day is all about enjoying good company, great food, and the freedom to follow the night wherever it leads. At the Del Mar Plaza, we like evenings to flow naturally: ocean view cocktails, lingering over wine, ending with a sweet treat. These spots make it simple to walk in, settle in and let the night take you wherever you want to go. 

Monarch Ocean Pub 

If your ideal Valentine’s plan includes a table with an ocean view, open air seating and the feeling of being perched above the village, Monarch Ocean Pub is your spot. Sip cocktails while the sun sets, participate in the nightly sunset cheers and snack on seafood staples. For those looking for a sharing dish we encourage you to try the Yellowfin Tuna Poke Board. It’s perfect for pairs and will make the evening that much more memorable. 

Enoteca Wine Bar

Enoteca is made for spontaneous nights. Pull up a seat at the bar, order a few appetizers, and enjoy a glass of Italian red outdoors under the stars. The atmosphere is easy and intimate, making you feel like you are in a true Italian piazza. 

An’s Hatmakers

Every good Valentine’s day deserves a sweet ending. An’s Hatmakers is the perfect stop to cap the night. Known as the sommeliers of gelato making, indulge in flavors you won’t find anywhere else including Pandan Matcha, Brown Butter Chocolate Chip, and Lavender. 

High Marea 

One of the Plaza’s newest additions, High Marea has quickly become a local favorite. The menu brings a fresh take on Mexican food, served counter-style for a laid back date night. Order tacos, poke bowls or even chicken wings, grab a beer or glass of wine and choose a seat inside or out. 

With walkable paths, open-air seating, and spots that welcome drop-ins, the Del Mar Plaza sets the scene for Valentine’s Day.
