Green Dragon Tavern & Museum New American • $$
6115 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad

“Let me start off by saying I would have given five stars except for the fact that they weren't prepared for a two parties of 30 each on top of the regular restaurant service which caused long wait for service. The food, excellent. Our server did his best and gave us complimentary soup because of the wait. I normally don't like brussel sprouts in any manner but the brussel sprouts at the green dragon are excellent. The prices are fair for what they serve and the atmosphere is pretty nice.

If you get a chance, go check out the museum.“

“I was off work late , and I had to find a place to eat . It was hard to find a restaurant at 10 p.m., but Yard House came through
I just got appetizers , but they were really good ??. Service was good with a friendly staff .
I got the calamari appetizer , which was soooooo good. My dish came out nice and warm . I also got some bone in hot wings. I am not big on breaded hot wings, but these were good .
If you are in the area and looking for food or a drink , Yard House will do . They are open until 11p.m. The appetizers were good and filled me up , so I am sure that the regular meals are good too .“

Tower39 Rooftop Lounge New American •
3136 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad

“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!“

“Came here for lunch on one of the weekdays. The weather was nice so we sat outside. We ordered a Turkey Melt (sliced tomatoes, horseradish cheddar cheese, wild argula, basil mayo on a Saide Rose ciabatta roll) and a Sante Fe Chicken Salad (romaine, super greens, grape tomatoes, roasted corn, natural cheddar, red bell peppers, tortilla strips, chipotle-agave vinagrette). Everything was extremely refreshing and was a nice pick up for lunch to bring the energy back.“

“This place is a gem! The food is incredible, even compared to award-winning restaurants. My wife, a coffee connoisseur, raves about their drinks.

Don't miss the chilaquiles or chicken chili – their soups are all fantastic. And the staff? They're exceptional. You'd expect this level of professionalism from high-level executives, but they're also incredibly kind and down-to-earth. It's rare to find a restaurant where everyone is so talented and personable.

Ava, is efficient, caring, and a pleasure to interact with. I can't help but hope my daughter grows up to be like her. This cozy brunch spot has a wonderful atmosphere and amazing food, thanks in no small part to their incredible staff.“

“It was a fun atmosphere and they were accommodating to family groups. They had large tables and a great indoor and open air patio seating. I’ll have to leave the beer reviews to someone else, but the food sections were creative and tasty. We tried appetizers, salads, fish, and kids meals. I especially liked the generous avocados on some of the dishes, and spicy toppings on most of the entrees.“

“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!“

“Got there at 9a.m. and the place was freezing inside. They don't ruin heat overnight and i get that but we were so chilled sitting in there. Outside was too cold as well. The workers wouldn't notice because they are moving around. The variety of food is decent, always the same, but expensive. Waffle was about $14. My husband got a skillet breakfast, and the skillet size was tiny. First time we've seen a skillet at a restaurant that is small. Way too much money for what he got. I got a Brussels waffle and nothing special about it. Had to get extra syrup. This is a trendy place. Teas and coffee are overpriced. The tea is just a tea bag and it's over$5. Getting hot water refill took a while and came while we're paying the bill. Food is expensive for breakfast. go on a weekday around 10 for no crowds. Parking can be tough.“

“Updating my review as things are getting steadily worse here. Most of the recliners are broken and lopsided when reclined. The bathroom was a mess when we went today, no tp, water pooled around the toilets and trash on the floor. The past several times we've gone, the icee machine has been broken but they didn't tell you that until after they've brought the rest of your order and then they charge you for it anyway. The popcorn is still very good and bottomless and they have good shakes.“
