Dinner at Mesquite, no question, which is fabulously wonderful and you don't have to dress up too much. Mesquite specializes in organic produce and well-cared-for meats (not sure that they're all organic, but similar), and pretty much everything is grilled to absolute perfection. You should get the California spiny lobster if you're here in the appropriate season.
There's also the Marine Room, which I interned at for a week, but they are *extremely* expensive, and dressing is mandatory. (: Sample Marine Room *lunch appetizer*, as I still have the menu from when I interned -- duck confit and foie gras quesadilla with cumin gouda, candied onions, huckleberries, and Banyul barbecue sauce. OMG.
