Inside, the dining room is open and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, a rocky outcrop looms keeps watch over the sleek deck (modern tiled floor, heat lamps, fire pits? check, check, and check!), which runs right up to the beach.<\/p>\n<p>The large and varied menu is chock-full of bright, tangy sauces and Peruvian specialties from seafood-laden ceviches to causa, a layered mashed-potato dish. Creative empanadas, small plates, and pisco cocktails also abound (large plates\u00a0from $18).<\/p>\n<p>Come early for a stroll down the mile-long beach, then make happy hour (Sunday-Friday 5 p.m. &#8211; 7 p.m.) with sunset views. And once the sky darkens, cozy up to the fire pit for some good old-fashioned stargazing.<\/p>\n<p>Note that La Costanera is closed on Mondays.<\/p>\n<p>Read about other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/2791\/best-views-bay-area\/\">great views in the Bay Area<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong>Take <a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/577\/bart-information-guide\/\">BART<\/a> to the Daly City station and transfer to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samtrans.com\/schedulesandmaps\/timetables\/110.html\">SamTrans<\/a> bus number 110.
