Overall, it was an enjoyable experience! There were several infants/small children that were crying and screaming throughout dinner which made it difficult to hear each other.
The food and atmosphere are top notch but a little pricey.
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...read full review

Nick's on State is a well-regarded restaurant in Carlsbad, known for its delicious food, excellent cocktails, and commendable service. The menu offers a variety of options, including the savory salmon, fried chicken, Thai Chili Salad, and crispy chicken sandwich. Popular cocktails include the Jalapeño watermelon margarita, Spicy passion fruit martini, and Bloody Mary. Guests have praised the attentive service, with staff frequently checking on them and providing extra touches. Many appreciate the upscale casual feeling and the nicely chosen wine list. The prime rib dip is a must-try for returning visitors, and other dishes like cioppino, Seabass, and the panko crusted chicken piccata have also earned praise. Portions are large enough to satisfy appetites, and the restaurant can get busy, so making a reservation is recommended. Customers enjoy a relaxed and cozy atmosphere, making it a great choice for special occasions. However, some diners have suggested that the kitchen should be more mindful of salt levels in the dishes. Despite being short-staffed at times, the restaurant's team works hard to ensure good service for every table.
