    “We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”

    “Saw this place opened up near my house and had to give it a try. So glad we did! Everything was great, but Rita really made the experience. She was so friendly, personable, and had great recommendations. The sliders and Brussels sprouts were delicious, the garlic fries were a 10/10, and the cocktails were great too. The service was honestly 100/10. We’ll definitely be back!”

    “We’re visiting Carlsbad and didn’t have dinner reservations, so after walking around the Village we decided to try our luck at the bar. We were told about 30 minutes for a table, or we could wait for seats at the bar. We chose the bar, met a nice couple while waiting, and had seats open up in about 15 minutes. Really impressive place from the minute you walk in. The building, architecture, lighting and attention to detail are all extremely well done. Great atmosphere without trying too hard. Josh took care of us at the bar and was outstanding. Made us cocktails right away, walked us through the menu and gave honest, down-to-earth recommendations. We couldn’t decide, so we sampled a few things. The deviled eggs were a standout, and the ribeye dip and fried chicken were both excellent. What really made it was the combination of the atmosphere, food and service. Everything was on point without feeling overly formal or stuffy. We’re from out of town, so unfortunately this probably won’t become a regular stop for us, but it’s one we’ll remember. Definitely left wishing we had more places like this back home. Exactly our kind of place.”

    “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 😁”

    “My husband and I recently visited Tower 39 on Friday night for some drinks and appetizers, and we had such a great experience! The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Nami was especially wonderful! He checked in on us throughout the evening, was very helpful, and was great to communicate with. He really helped make our experience enjoyable. We also had nothing but compliments for the food and drinks—they were both excellent! Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Tower 39 for a great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and excellent service!”

Duck fat pretzel bites and the sweet chili boneless wings were great. Can't complain. Of course get the Oktoberfest.”

We had an exceptional experience tonight in particular with their new chef Joe, who really wowed us. Eddie and Abigail (our server and the manager) were also wonderful. If you like farm-to-table food with a laid back yet bougie vibe, you’ll love this place. P.S. This was the “snack” Chef Joe brought out — not even the main course! Incredible.”

    “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.”

Beautiful views of the golf course, and a nice fireplace set the ambience. Main drawbacks were the music could have been a bit quieter, as we chose the restaurant with the goal to have some peace and quite, and the drinks were very expensive at over $20 each for the cocktails. The cocktails were delicious, just expensive.”
