25 Best Seafood Restaurants in Carlsbad

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“We heard great things about LILO and couldn’t resist going there for a date night. The price overall is not cheap and even more so with wine pairings.
The evening started outside with a few small bites and a walkthrough of the history of the restaurant (which is new). Then we moved inside for wine pairings and food courses. Every dish came with an introduction, every wine pairing a perfect story and explanation. The entire evening followed a delicate story, with food we’d never forget. The evening ended outside with a nice desert and desert wine. A perfect end to the evening. This place is worth every penny and all the hype!“

“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!“

“Dropped in on Christmas for dinner without a reservation and the place was packed! But they had a little table for us immediately. My wife loved the grilled salmon salad and the prime rib was the best I’ve had in a long time! We split a clam chowder bread bowl (so good!). Staff was friendly and we had a great time!“

“I thought the service was very friendly. The bowls were reasonably priced. There is a large selection of proteins and other items for the bowls. Also, the service is fast.“

“Delicious and crispy! First time visiting, will definitely will be coming back. :)“

“Fish District is our favorite when we’re not cooking at home. The fish is consistently excellent—fresh, well-cooked, and fantastic every single time. The service is fast and friendly, with no fuss, which I appreciate. Located in a regular strip mall, it has the usual fast-food atmosphere—nothing extravagant, but it gets the job done. A reliable choice for a quick meal that satisfies!“

“I am definitely going back here. The food was outstanding the service was outstanding, I suggest reservations you can get them online but we definitely will be back
Husband got the surf and turf which came with a generous portion of filet a lobster four or five shrimp and veggies. I got the appetizer shrimp barsac, which I didn't like and sent it back because it was not peeled properly so I just ate off my husband's plate and it was really good“

“I went to the restaurant today to book a table for two for Christmas. I didn't order anything but will update when I do. I'm impressed with the beautiful setting and atmosphere.

Additionaly, kudos to the hotel for hiring Jenna at the host table. She was so accommodating, polite and genuinely nice. Showed me around and helped me pick and save the best table for my dinner for two. Thanks Jenna!“

“Colby had some really good dinner suggestions. So personable and enjoyable conversations. Excellent service. The atmosphere and views were exquisite. The bartender's drinks were tasty. He was extremely busy and handling that bar incredibly. It was almost unbelievable the number of cocktails that were being made.“

“absolutely delicious Chinese food my wife and I share chicken with vegetables, beef and string green beans and they were both fantastic. The meat was so tender. The spice was perfect and the service was magnificent. We’re from Portland and we love this place.“

“We had our wedding catered by Vigilucci's Seafood & Steakhouse just a few weeks ago. All of our guests loved the food and service. We decided to take my father and mother in-law to the restaurant. This was our second time bringing them here. My father in-law said that the risotto special with filet mignon was the best he's ever had and he's 92 years-old. I particularly loved the chicken parm. We were seated at the same table inside as our last visit. Our server (sorry, I tried remembering her name) was wonderful and very kind. Vigilucci's is a great restaurant!“

“I come here at least once a week for fajitas, tacos and/or drinks. But it’s not only the delicious food or drinks that have me returning but their exceptional bartender, Gretta. She takes it upon herself to go the extra miles for not only her restaurant but her customers. She is a diamond in the rough and the perfect embodiment of a fun loving So Cal gal. Keep on pouring em girl. I’ll be back for you!“

“The bar area is a nice casual place to sit but with full menu options!“

“best fish taco ive ever had :) very reasonable. nice staff“

“Ordered a large lunch order for a meeting and there were definite modifications to some of the items.

Everything was prepared as ordered, it was ready by my pick up time while still timely - I arrived about 5 mins prior to the designated time and it was not sitting there getting cold or mushy, rather it was ready briefly after I arrived.

Everyone was friendly and offered their assistance rather than me having to ask.

And the food was great! Everything well prepared, nothing over or undercooked. Everyone ate their entire meal and there were no left overs.

WELL DONE!“
