An exclusive outdoor dining event that started in Montreal is coming to San Diego. Dinner With a View, where up to six people can dine inside a clear dome that has been transformed into a giant terrarium, is making its way across the country—and San Diego is only one of two stops along the West Coast. The dinner is happening at Liberty Station from February 6 through March 8, and ticket sales start today at 10 a.m. For $109.99 per person, you can expect a blind three-course menu (without drinks), cooked by a chef who is yet to be announced. You’ll need at least three friends to book a dome, as each one has a four person minimum for booking.
