“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 😁“

“absolutely delicious Chinese food my wife and I share chicken with vegetables, beef and string green beans and they were both fantastic. The meat was so tender. The spice was perfect and the service was magnificent. We’re from Portland and we love this place.“

“Revolution Roasters is a great place if you need some peace, comfort and a good cup of coffee. My boyfriend and I came to the cafe today with some friends who were visiting California.

We agreed that it was the perfect spot to get coffee and food to start our day before giving them a tour of SD. I've had different types of toast/pastries throughout SD/North County and this place has some of the best. Not only was everything refreshing but all the flavors were complimentary.

Additionally, the service was amazing. Everyone there was so kind and inviting. The food did take a bit of time to get to our table but it was worth it. Plus, the drinks were ready very quickly.“

“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“This place gets great reviews and they are well deserved.

Food was outstanding, Marcos was an outstanding server with super recommendations. No rush, very relaxed service and general atmosphere. Live music was a plus, but a little too loud.

Go there. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Marcos for superior service.“

The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“What do you want from a great Coffee Bar?
First: great coffee.
Second: high quality fresh food prepared with a unique twist that makes it stand out.
Third: atmosphere, Lofty earns its name from the large, elevated patio that sets it back from the foot traffic on the street.
Fifth: are the staff that knows their products and are masters in preparation and presentation of all things Lofty.“

“I love sweetgreen! I always eat crispy rice bowl, I’m obsessed. Regularly every Monday actually. I have to tell I don’t like the fact that some workers are more generous and some of them not. I feel full sometimes and I’m like not full at all sometimes. For 17$ of chicken bowl that should be fair amount of chicken. Some of them just put less protein then other and hopefully they can be more careful about that!“

“Had the salmon and it was delicious. Good clean atmosphere and hospitable, attentive staff.“

Excellent customer service, friend staff, clean restaurant and most importantly delicious, fresh, fruity drinks! Can't wait to go back!“

“Delicious house made ice cream with a variety of flavors and cones. Large portions and the hot fudge is yummy. It’s a walk up window without inside access—a no indoor seating. Only a few outside picnic tables in a busy area in State Street. Coaster Station is directly behind with lots of shops, restaurants, coffee within walking distance. Definitely stop in if you’re craving creamy deliciousness.“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“A lovely restaurant in Carlsbad, just a short walk from the beach, with plenty of parking nearby. If you’re craving authentic Nepalese flavors, this is a fantastic spot to try.

I ordered the goat curry, which was absolutely finger-licking delicious, paired perfectly with their garlic naan and a Himalayan beer. We also enjoyed the yellow daal, aloo parantha, and their warm, comforting chai.

The restaurant has a cozy ambiance, making it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner. Clean restrooms and convenient parking around the village fair area make the experience even better. Overall, a hidden gem worth visiting when in Carlsbad.“

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“Very delicious cookies, in my opinion a little pricey, but for certain occasions that you are craving sweet, they are perfect. I like the originality of having new cookies every week, that is awesome, a lot of creativity. The place is very clean and nice.“

“My brother, husband, and I have been coming here for years. This is our local spot for sushi, and we will be lifelong customers for sure! We love their happy hour specials (from 3:30-5:30). When we can't decide what to eat, we get the lunch bento box combo and it hits the spot every time! I think I've tried every non-spicy roll on their menu. If you're down to get something that tastes as fantastic as it looks, go for the Cucumber Special Roll. It won't disappoint!“

“I’m in love with biryani here vegetarian biryani I tried at 100places but finally I quit eating vegetable biryani But this place when I tried I loved it Will never go anywhere if I want vegetarian biryani this is my only place to go Plus another thing I love their chats samosa chat and aloo tikki chat Aloo tikki chat is my favourite one Haven’t tried anything else yet but will update if I will tried some another dishes 💯 recommended“

“The food and service is always good, I was wondering what is their signature dish? And has the restaurant had a food critics review? I love you read it! See you soon Casa de Bandini!“

“If you’re looking for a local gem, this woman-owned café is it! Elissa, the owner, has created a French-inspired menu that’s both comforting and delicious. From fresh sandwiches and crisp salads to daily specials and baked goods, everything here is made with so much care and flavor. The empanadas are an absolute must-try (so good!).

What I love most is the variety—whether you’re in the mood for a deli-style favorite or something with a French twist, Elissa always has something incredible on the menu. It’s the perfect spot for a quick lunch, a casual meeting, or just treating yourself to something fresh and homemade. If you live or work in the area, you definitely need to stop by—you’ll leave already planning your next visit.“

“This place is wonderful! Will be back!! The food was great and the service was wonderful! My husband and I noticed that we didn't feel gross after eating out. We take our health seriously and eat super clean and mostly at home. When we go out we usually don't feel our best due to all the seed oils. This place felt like eating at home, the best quality we could get!“

“The location is excellent and the food is beyond fantastic. I can't get enough of this place. the experience so far is TOP!!!! It really is that good. It's a must try. You will not be disappointed. love it.“

“The crepes here are delicious, I tried a special - brie with jam - and it was amazinggg. The man who served us was very friendly and inviting. The shop is very small so I don’t know how much I’d recommend dining in especially if it’s busy but the food is wonderful.“

“Bushfire never disappoints! Every dish is packed with unbelievable flavor, fresh ingredients, and that homemade quality you can taste in every bite. The portions are generous, the food comes out hot and perfectly cooked, and the menu has something amazing for everyone.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the whole experience feels warm and welcoming. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the consistency is incredible.

Honestly—this place serves some of the best food ever. Highly recommend!“

“Just had the most fantastic lunch. Caesar salad was amazing, fish and chips were the best I’ve ever seen, I understand the pizza had a little too much red pepper sprinkled on, but all of it was just delicious. They’re not open for a Sunday brunch, but we wish they were.“

“One of my favorites! The breads are the BEST!“

“Very good pizza and wings. Pizza came out pretty quickly. Sauce is not sweet, which is a good thing. Crust is airy and crunchy. Hot wings were also good. Good sauce. Right amount of vinegar and heat.“

“The most delicious keto bread!“
