“Been coming here for years. As a local born and raised in Encinitas, there is no better restaurant for drinks and great food that has withstood the times. As for the service from the staff it has always been exceptional. Most recently Saul has always taken care of me with recommendations on drinks and food. They have just recently changed their menu so definitely something to check out.“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“Good food, pet friendly if you are in the area stop by“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Great vibes everyone is super friendly loved the service! 🍷😀“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“I appreciate a place with great wine and a beautiful charcuterie display. I highly recommend“

“We love our neighborhood go to spot for excellent wine and beer choices and perfect bistro food: salads, small plates, flat breads and out of this world cheese boards. Lucky to have so close and with such friendly staff!“

“Wide selections of wine. If you have a question ask Jim. Cheers!🍷“

“We enjoyed our first time at Little Victory. The food was excellent, the seasonal Pasta (summer squash, blistered tomatos) was absolutely unreal, one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. The basque cheesecake was delicious as well!

As a first timer, I think the restauraunt would benefit from a small sign outside directing guests to the correct area inside to check in for a reservation. It felt like we were intruding because we didn’t know where to go and to be wandering around getting passed off from server to bartender to someone else to try and find a host to check in with wasn’t a great first impression. However, once we got sat, the staff were truly friendly. Our server was able to give us helpful guidance on the wine list and we liked the wine we chose.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the space is well decorated, but we did notice as it got more crowded later in the evening it became increasingly louder inside, which made it challenging to hold a conversation. Maybe some aesthetic looking sound absorbers would help!

Overall, a lovely little spot tucked off in a quiet street of Carlsbad. Definitley worth a visit if you enjoy a good Southern California wine bar vibe.“

“We attended the 20th annual Celebrate the Craft. It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the event. The waitstaff at the bar was friendly and provided excellent service.“

“Rosinas is consistently excellent authentic Italian food. The only food downside ( which is why I gave Food a 4 out of 5 rating), is their Ceaser salad...it is consistently bland, really watery, and tasteless...such an unpleasant surprise given that ALL of the other salads are so delicious, and ALL of the other food is delicious. Rosina, PLEASE update the Ceaser salad..it is really awful.“

“Food was excellent and service was great!!,..will be back!“

“Beatiful place I love it Great fooooood“

“Me and my family visited this place after a day in the LEGOLAND on a Saturday.
It was not crowded at all.
The services are very polite and attentive.
We ordered 2 scallops for appetizers, a soup, and deer steak. My daughter loved the scallop a lot.

Mint ice cream with chocolate source for dessert. It was not too sweet. We liked it.“

“Went for some beer and food with my husband. The beer was from Barrel and Stave and was great tasting. Had a burger from Baby’s and those were both good too! Definitely coming back“

“We were a little worried when the owners changed hands and thought, oh no, our little tavern isn't going to be the same!

Joke's on us! We LOVE it!! New owners, new atmosphere, better food, same great service!!
The menu has been updated with new and better offerings! Happy hour, LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH specials!!

It's a great place to watch games or bring kids. We are lucky to have a great place nearby and drop in knowing the food is good as is the service!“

“Came here for a Latin night with friends loved the music and the food came out quickly. The music was way too loud but it was still fun and we stood towards the back of the place.

Never been here before this, it would be nice to try coming here on a normal day to hangout with friends and have a few drinks with food.“

“Pizza și Paste ca la Corner Pizza,mai rar! 3 seri și toate servite la Corner Pizza! Bun rău!!!“

“Amazing fresh and taste so good“

“I shouldn't talk about this, I shouldn't rate this but I can't hold back...Rodrigo is a legend behind the bar. The drinks are top tier. If you get the chance to come here, it's so worth it. Del Mar finally has a speakeasy!“

“Visited for a special event dinner with Epoch winery from Paso Robles. The owner of the store was exceedingly gracious and friendly and the event was a great success. The store has a pretty wide range of wine offerings as well as local craft beers, with several exclusive/harder to get wines as well as more mainstream options. The store is admittedly "Paso-centric" in their overall portfolio, but the prices are consistent with what you would see at the wineries. They also have cheeses for sale at the front counter.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Exceptional – A Must-Visit in Del Mar

Monarch Ocean Pub exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The open-air setting overlooking the street gives the perfect mix of energy and ease — you feel part of the buzz of Del Mar while enjoying a relaxed, elegant meal.

Our server, Bo, was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful to talk with (we even discovered she went to Indiana University, which made it feel like a small-world connection!).

Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — from the fresh oysters and crisp Caesar salad to the soft Parker House rolls, the shrimp and lobster sliders, and the finale of melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian donuts. Each bite was perfection.

Monarch doesn’t just serve food — they create an experience. It was the highlight of our trip and a place we’ll be talking about for a long time.“

“Everything was perfect! Waiter was amazing! The food was absolutely incredible!“

“I am definitely going back here. The food was outstanding the service was outstanding, I suggest reservations you can get them online but we definitely will be back
Husband got the surf and turf which came with a generous portion of filet a lobster four or five shrimp and veggies. I got the appetizer shrimp barsac, which I didn't like and sent it back because it was not peeled properly so I just ate off my husband's plate and it was really good“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“Great bar for n the pool area. Went for the music in the afternoon which was twice a week. Not sure about the exact dates or times so ask. We went to the owners reception where we had free wine and cheese and salami snacks. It was a little chilly but they had fire pits to warm you up.“

“Nice change of pace and it was easy to get A table outside during covid.“

“The pizzas are really good with decent variety of vegetarian options, thin crust, and perfectly cooked each time. The pastas on the other hand are good but not great.

The service however is excellent with attentive staff who are knowledgeable of the menu and make excellent recommendations.

Would definitely be back. The best part is they also deliver to the breweries on the sky deck!“

“The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. The only bummer was that we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday (which they knew in advance), and they put us in some weird side room. It seemed like a strange accessory room, almost like an afterthought to the rest of the restaurant, which took away from the experience.“

“Love Reds. I have Ben going for over 20 years and get their one of their many steaks, most of the time and ,done medium rare!“

“I've been going here since 97. I have never been disappointed with the quality or quantity of their food, its always delicious. Simon and Nazie are always friendly and pleasant.“

“parpedelle and short rib, pizza, cocktails“

“Let me say the food and service was great!
Our server Kay knows the menu and had great recommendations. Capellini alla checca was outstanding. Added blackened chicken and made the dish even better.
The Arden pizza was like a steak dinner on pizza. Outstanding!!
Definitely be putting this place on the recall roster.
Tables could use some work, lol“

“Really nice variety on their dinner menu.... Salads, small plates/appetizers, pasta to fish to steak, pork chops, etc... Their wine list is also nice... So you should be able to find something to pair with your dinner. If not, try a mocktail, cocktail or beer. We sat on their upstairs patio where we could sort of watch the sunset over the water. Yes, there were buildings and trees in our sightlines but still nice. Service was very good considering they were slammed. Will definitely be back again.“
