Aqua Terra at Pala Mesa - where locals serve locals

Tucked at the bottom of a hillside along Historic Route 395 in Fallbrook is Pala Mesa Resort, an award-winning facility offering some of the best seafood around. The restaurant, Aqua Terra, offers panoramic views of rolling green fairways in a peaceful, woodsy setting. Guests can choose to enjoy the full bar and cozy lounge, sushi bar, or step down into the main dining area to enjoy California coastal cuisine.

The urban escape also offers picturesque wedding venues, romantic getaways at the hotel and catered events where people from around the world visit, but many locals have yet to discover....
