“We had a wonderful family meal here! The staff was so friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Every dish we had was fantastic, especially the clam chowder in a bread bowl, which was truly excellent. I'd also recommend trying the pear with prosciutto.
My wife, our three kids, and I enjoyed the food so much that we actually had to ask for seconds! On top of the amazing food, the location right next to the ocean makes it the perfect spot.“

Burgeon Beer Company Brewery • $$
6350 Yarrow Dr STE C, Carlsbad

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“Food was so delicious especially the pasta! Great vibes and atmosphere especially if you can snag a table outdoors. I made a reservation and arrived on time for a party of 3 (with a toddler). Host mentioned table was not ready, but maybe in 10 minutes. Waited outside, and I went to inquire after 15 minutes. Host still said wasn’t ready but will try to engage the manager if the party doesn’t leave in 5 mins. After 20+ mins past rez time, we were finally seated. The manager mentioned there was going to be bread and dip coming out and apologized for the wait, which was appreciated. However, after getting the bill, we were charged for it. We asked & they were quick to remove it. Would love to visit again! Knocked off a star due to the wait time and needing ask.“

“Better than some other bars where you have to mess about with credit cards, pay later, &c. Friendly bar staff. Decent pinot noir. Classic rock on the sound system: like most of Southern California, they haven’t progressed past the early 1970s, so much of the music is 50 years old!! Warning: not a drinker’s bar. Locals sip on kombucha while you’re sitting there getting slaughtered.“

“DON'T LET THE BAD REVIEWS DISSUADE YOU! Our experience at Dragon's Den was beyond excellent - food, service, and atmosphere all included.

Is it pricey? Sure, but the food was absolutely delicious. The pork schnitzel with the greens and tomatoes was excellent, and the pureed potatoes were perfection. My husband commented that the Crown Jewel was one of the highest quality and best cooked steaks he's ever had. The kids smashed their cheeseburger and macaroni and cheese, and the french fries were actually super good.

To top it off, our attentive and kind waiter brought ice cream and sang happy birthday for our celebration! No 18% tip was added to the bill without us knowing, no one was rude, and nothing was bad. I will come back here no question when we return to Legoland - it was a highlight of the trip.“
