8 Best Wine Bars near Carlsbad

“Food was decent, the servers were friendly, but the overall Service was meh. We were a group of 6 guys who were celebrating a pal's birthday (cost was not an issue).We had issues receiving the following after many requests:* Additional Bread - requested 6 times* Red Pepper flakes - requested 4 times* Refilled water glass (never happened)Appreciated dining at Via Vai but they aren't the only restaurant in town. Won't be back for a very long while.“

“I ate here about a year ago and forgot to write a review. Here's the thing. I am afraid to go back. It was the best meal top to bottom I have had in 50 years. I spent 20 of those working in the restaurant industry. I am concerned that they will not be able to replicate the experience. The server ( French Accent) was a psychic. He was only there when wanted. Knew the menu down to the details. Scallops and whatever they were served on was perfect. Crazy dessert with pistachio something or other. Anyway, thanks for the finest dining evening I have ever had. Sorry for the late review.“

“Beautiful use of space tucked into quiet corner on the edge of downtown Carlsbad. Casual atmosphere and great service. I am not a resident of Carlsbad,but I could see this become a local hangout,and a spot to bring out of town guests. Very nice selection of wine. We chose the large charcuterie board,which was ample!“

“What a gem! Ambiance is wine shop and old rhymes. Love that you can pick out a bottle and drink it there or get a glass from the wine list. Small bites like flatbread and cheese samplers. No kitchen food. Servers love wine and are super helpful with suggestions. See what you like and you can even become a member. Special wine dinners and tasting events. Can't wait to go back for more sips.“

“My Boyfriend and I love this place. This time we tried Pizza and it didn't disappoint. It had tons of meat on it even filet mignon that melted in your mouth. That was a first for us. never have we had filet mignon on a pizza before.This is a gem of a place in the heart of the Village.Our Server Renaldo was excellent. We normally don't get dessert but we couldn't resist the limoncello cake. Yum!“

“I recently hosted a wedding shower here and it was absolutely perfect! The space was just what I was looking for and the food was amazing!! Carrie and Annie communication was spot on and they helped make sure everything was prepared for when I got into town. On the day of the event the employees paid attention to every detail which made the event flow seamlessly. I would highly recommend OAK & elixir!“

“When we arrived we found there to be a bit of a line for checking in on a Monday evening however once we got to the front and Rebecca helped us we forgot all about the wait. She was so thoughtful, thorough and professional in explaining everything to my mom and I. My mom is recently been having to use a wheelchair and Rebecca was so intuitive that she asked my mom if she might need some other medical devices to make her stay more comfortable. We didn’t even know they had these things available and they were already waiting for us when we got to the room. Shower chair and toilet riser. The place was beautiful, large luxurious rooms with fantastic amenities. My mom said it was the most beautiful place she had ever stayed which brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I would suggest is more handicapped parking spaces. We had to park some dip from our from in the 61 building and with a wheelchair and luggage proved a challenge but again the only suggestion I would make. We stayed in the cove area and yes there was construction but I was only during the daytime and we were made fully aware prior to check in. As for the small amount of noise from Lego land we rather enjoyed hearing the beautiful laughter of happy families enjoying each others company while make memories.“

“I was in the mood for Greek food and this place came highly recommended by my person. Our server was friendly and quick and the food was yummy. It was just what we wanted. We ordered the fried cheese to start. I got the Gyro plate and he ordered the chicken lunch special. Both plates came with salad, pita, rice, and their yummy yogurt sauce. I would come back here again.“
