New American Restaurants in Carlsbad, CA

“Great customer service!!!“

“The food is as good as it looks! I couldn’t believe it when my parents asked me if I wanted to go to a Revolutionary War tavern replica & museum near the beach in northern San Diego. Like, huh? But the building reminded me of growing up on the east coast, and the museum reminded me of how lucky we are to have this country & those who fought for it. I loved the cozy interior with brick and wood. My parents are regulars, so they know the server, and he was super nice. They have a great Old Fashioned, and we all got the Seafood Trio (mine with double cod). The fingerling potatoes were to die for. It was all delicious. Amazing Caesar salad, too. Definitely had leftovers. Excited to go back for their happy hour. Can’t wait to try wagyu sliders, mussels, and clam chowder. Seriously, it all sounds good. Definitely worth a trip! And you’ll be back to try it all 😁“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“Service is always great!! But our server(sadly, I forgot her name) tonight was wonderful. Helpful, kind, and extremely patient with our 7 year old grandson talking her ear off, haha. I didn't like my kale salad and she was very quick to offer me a new salad.“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“This place is incredible!

The oceanside view is absolutely gorgeous, and the atmosphere is super fancy but still comfortable. The drinks were on point, the menu had so many great options, and the bartenders clearly know their craft.

What really made the night special, though, was Raul, the supervisor. He was so friendly and welcoming--he made me feel like a total VIP. His energy and kindness just added to the amazing atmosphere. He is clearly invested in creating a memorable experience for every guest.

If you're looking for a spot with stunning views, great drinks, and awesome service, Tower39 is the place. I'll definitely be back!“

“The food is FANTASTIC!!!! Tri tip!! Amazing sides. Thanksgiving sandwich OMG. Clean restaurant. Amazing staff. Prices are great!! They have a reward program and give a bonus on your birthday. Place is perfect…. But I miss the onion strings lol! Thanks guys!!!“

“Found Nick’s by chance the nite we flew in and went back 2 more times before we left. Great food, the steaks were cooked perfect. Priced fair for today’s times. Great friendly wait staff. I recommend if you’re in Carlsbad it’s a must stop. Enjoy!!“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.“

“The food is quite good. Recently I’ve been disappointed with two things:

1) their removal of the Ahi Salad, one of my favorites which has been replaced by the Mediterranean Salad (just so-so)

2) the increase in prices since I first started dining here.

Otherwise, it’s a great spot for a burger and brew, to take the family or catch the game. I suspect that its proximity to Legoland is why their prices are so high. You can find similar or higher quality food for more reasonable prices.

For example, any salad here (that includes a protein) is going to be $20-25 which seems really steep. They’re not particularly gourmet im a way that would justify that price.

Pretty much any of their appetizers are $15 or over. Likewise, all of their burgers are $20 or over besides their most basic pub burger which is $17. Steep!

You’re looking at easily spending $100 out the door for two people: drinks, mains and an app. There are a lot of places I can recommend within a 15 minute drive that would either cost less or be better.

Anyways, I do like Karl Strauss. The food is good, the staff is great, you won’t be disappointed but your wallet may hurt. This functionally puts them in the $30-50 pp. range when they should be in the 20-30. Just my .02

Oh, their Mac is to die for. I’d probably come here for a beer and a mac alone.“

“Great food, staff and atmosphere.“

“Seasons Restaurant in Carlsbad is such a hidden gem! We stopped in for their Golden Hour menu and were seriously impressed--great prices, solid portions, and everything we tried was super flavorful. The vibe is upscale but still relaxed, and the service was friendly without being overbearing. Definitely recommend the Golden Hour for a chill evening with good food and drinks without breaking the bank. We'll for sure be back!“

“Here, in this restaurant, you will find delicious food if it Is for breakfast or dinner and the price of each plate will vary depending on what you do order.If you are a member of IHG Rewards Club, then please charge everything to your room because that's the only way for you to accumulate hundreds of points so that you can get free nights, free merchandise or free airline tickets.“

“SKC is a nice place to stop for breakfast if you have your dogs with you and are looking for a gluten-free meal.

Our short rib and hashbrown cakes was very good, perfectly flavored on the mild-side, and a filling portion to enjoy.

Our Monterey omelet was missing something, we cannot figure out what should be added or left out. The bacon was great, but we lost the rest of the flavoring.“

“Amazing staff and ambience! Newly renovated and beautiful interior offers guests a Victorian classic country club vibe. I highly recommend calling ahead or arriving early to be seated outside next to the 18th hole. I always love when a menu has GF noted. The tostada was difficult to eat but worth the effort. The heirloom tomato salad was to DIE for, I would eat that everyday. The oysters were small and didn’t carry a lot of meat so I wouldn’t order again. Veal chop was cooked to perfection, the capers in the sauce offered a delectable sour taste that complimented the cream and pearl onion. The corn crème brûlée should be a dessert. Truly a lovely restaurant with amazing staff like our waiter Alex. A steakhouse is a steakhouse, you get what you come for.

Vegetarian options: Salads are your largest options without considering fish.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free noted on the menu!!

Wheelchair accessibility: All on one floor.“

“Nice place. Had to wait for our drinks and food for a little while. We were also celebrating my son’s birthday and I thought they would do something special. Which the waitress just dropped off a cookie with whipped cream and took off No singing no wvwn saying happy birthday.“

“Here visiting from NC. I by chance stumbled upon 7 Mile Kitchen. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was just as wonderful. Henry greeted me with such an amazing smile and made me feel so welcome. He gave great suggestions of his favorite dishes when I asked. He made sure I had everything I could possibly need, loved the personal touches. I also, met Lindsey and she was very welcoming as well. They both were very engaging in conversation and I appreciated it very much seeing as though I am traveling for work. At no time did I feel like a stranger. Thank you 7 Mile Kitchen for a wonderful meal, great service and a warm home away from home feeling!“
