“Great food and good people for our community.“

“Ava our server was just so amazing! Such a great attitude and got our food/ beverages out in a timely manner. Definitely would give that girl a raise!“

“If you are lucky enough to see one of their restaurants, stop and enjoy some absolutely delicious food! The meals are fantastic and the teriyaki sauce is out of this world! I can't wait to visit again. I would consider flying into town just to eat at this restaurant! 😋“

“We stopped in before the Escondido Renaissance Faire and not only loved the food and cattitude, but also the star treatment we received. We got 2 tacos, elote, and guac and cannot recommend stopping here enough !

PS lots of vegan options !!“

“THE HOUSE WAS ROCKIN' ! Whenever we are in Escondido this is the ONLY PLACE WE EAT ! My wife and I were heading a very long way to Wildomar on Monday to visit my wife's Mom & Dad in an assisted living facility. But first we stopped by here for a nice lunch. It was a bit before midday when we stepped inside the front entrance to be greeted warmly by the lovely owner / founder Jenny who we have known for many years. Jenny herself took our order for 1 x Capicola & Provolone Sub Sandwich plus 1 x Gangster Reuben Pastrami Sub Sandwich. The place was ABSOLUTELY ROCKIN' on Memorial Day and there were stacks of loyal customers lined up waiting to place their lunch order. Our fantastic looking sub sandwiches were hand delivered to our table...and believe me it doesn't get any better ! Our delicious sub sandwiches hit it clean outa the ball park ! As I said to lovely Jenny....YOU ARE A LEGEND !“

“It was about noon as I left my Doctors office and feeling a little hungry. I say Pegah’s Kitchen next door and gave it a try. The staff were all very professional. I had their Italian omelette and if I had to rate it on a one to 10 scale with 10 being the best, I would give it a 12. This is the Vista location. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch, as they are not open for dinner.“

“We came in after a hard day loading and wanted A great meal they went ahead and made our food even thought it was closing time, they could have told us they were closed! What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“Seniors portion is just right. Nice servers & good food .“

“So amazingly delicious. The ingredients in the Cuban all work so well together and the portion is enough for two hungry grown men to split. I’m assuming it’s that way for the whole menu. It’s a destination restaurant and worth the trip. Come out even if you don’t live in town!“

“1st time here, but not the last. Started with clam chowder and artichoke fritters. Clam chowder lacked clams and had a strong bacon taste. Fritters and sauce were delicious. Had cioppino and the broth was delicious along with a decent amount of seafood. Only disappointment was the lack of variety. It had clams, muscles, fish and shrimp. I can understand with it only being $19, but love when cioppino had calamari rings, scallops, crab, and octopus as well. Would be willing to spend more for a premium version. The garlic toast that was served along with was delicious as well. Service started a little slow, but picked up. Was not from a lack of hustle from the staff. Just understaffed at the beginning. Our server Luke T. was great. Look forward to going back and trying additional dishes.“

“Just a perfect venue for a wedding.

It’s beautiful - enveloped in lush greenery, surrounded by mountains!

Staff is warm, amazing and efficient. Couldn’t expect more. All the arrangements were just remarkable.

Food was delicious, drinks were marvellous.

Overall 10/10 ( I would say 11/10 since it exceeded expectations).“

“Great atmosphere and tasty wine! You get the best views when you visit this winery! love it 😀“

“Fresh sushi. I loved the fish selection. If you want the freshest fish, this is a go to place.“

“I am a bit disappointed with recent winery messaging/policy. These changes seem to make the winery setting more exclusive and less welcoming to families. I have NEVER been dissatisfied with the wine. Just a little disappointed in the pull away from families and inclusion.

New review: I am the biggest fan of this winery. I have recommended this winery to literally all of my friends and family. I have never enjoyed a winery more than Domaine. I love most Domaine wines, which is very telling for a self-proclaimed wine snob. At most wineries I Iike two or three wines. At Domaine there is no wine I do not like. I especially like their Rincon del Diablo and Syrah. In addition to their scrumptious wine, the staff here have never waivered in their kindness and accomodations.

The missing star and slightly critical review is hopefully part of larger growing pains. My kids used to come here and feel so welcomed. They could stretch their legs and roam a bit (supervised). We could search for tadpoles or ask staff for the owl puppet or drive the tonka trucks through the olive orchard. It was a pretty special place for our teacher friend group to relax and have their kids enjoy outside at the same time. Seeing the new signage up discouraging supervised child autonomy is beyond disappointing. I enjoyed this winery as it always felt like family. It felt like home. It was uncomplicated and comfortable. Their dogs roam free and my kids, behaving with respect, were also permitted to do the same. Closing out areas to kids is beyond regrettable and makes me less inclined to continue membership (even given my 10 plus years of membership and their delicious wine). Unfortunately I am going to consider if it's worth it to be a member of a place that is seemingly inhospitable to half of my family. I wonder if they will make a separate section for families / dogs or if they will continue to slide towards exclusionary spaces.“

“Hello beautiful, I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just wanna go out of my way to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys so much entertainment 2 Thanks a lot, I feel honored and blessed to have an amazing fan like you. Kindly name 3 of my songs you love so much...“

“My favorite pub since 2010 or so. Always a great time. Hoping to go more often and also for takeout since they are one of the best restaurants in town as well. 🍀🍻💚“

“Great sandwich’s Great Bread! The roast beef with dressing and cheese! The best! Everything is good!“

“Went there for dinner on Saturday night. Have plenty of parking looks like a ghost town, food didn’t take that long but waiter just took the order and drop off the food and disappeared, should have checked the water and after drop off the food do we need anything, or how is the food? Food was better than the service, except the egg roll not sure they buy it or make it need the check on the salt. We both felt little too salty.“

“We love Mikko Sushi - Carlsbad“

“Everything from the food to the staff was amazing. The pepperoni pizza, “El Pepe,” was a top quality pizzeria style. Next time we are in the area we will most definitely stop by. There is a little arcade room to keep the kids entertained while us parents enjoy sports on tv with a pitcher of beer.“

“Belle Marie wines are delicious and for our palate some of the best wines ever. Jeff and Scott do a great job as vinters behind the scene and out in front as folks come in to taste. We've had wines from here for over 20 years and it is ALWAYS GOOD!“

“Trying to contact the owner. Owner, when will you be at the restaurant?? Thank you. Sadly the on floor manager, Nick, now claiming to be the owner in today's conversation, will not honor a gift card our friend bought for us a few months back. Nick is very agressive, harsh, and sadly not a good face for this amazing restaurant. Our family has been eatting here for 3 generations ever since they opened. We have watched several sets of family member take over operating this family business, and have loved ever member prior. However, Nick is an unfortunate one. With a gift card receipt stating Nick's name, he denies selling a gift card to anyone but one person. Nick has unfortunately ruined our favorite family restaurant. If the real owner ever reads this, I hope we can work something out. My recommendation, eat somewhere else. Its not worth the gruff service and the potential to get screwed. :/“

“First time there food was delicious“

“Great beer, fun people, they have comedians, live music, drone events, and are dog friendly. A must stop for your beer drinking needs!“

“Cute comfort food joint with some Cajun flair! Went for brunch on a Sunday morning around 11am, and there was about a 10 minute wait for a party of 3. Food was ready fairly quickly, though.

Ordered stuffed french toast and a Belgian waffle, both with huckleberry topping. They were excellent, though fair warning, the topping is not warmed up before going on. Any eggs/meats/other sides need to ve ordered separately, a la carte, unless otherwise specified.“

“This is an amazing winery. Stumbled upon this gem after spending the day at the Safari Zoo Park. Wonderful wines (didn’t taste a bad one and hard to choose a favorite) and ambiance. Loved it so much that we became members of the Thirsty Kettle Club and shipped 6 fabulous bottles home. We spent some time talking w the owner, Jeannine…so personable and a true class act. Told us of the story of how they came about, what an incredible family story. To Mike the winemaker: great job!! Your bottles are fabulous!!! ❤️“

“This is super convenient. Simply order online, and they bring the order to your car. I don't believe they have any indoor or outdoor seating. Only to go. But for takeaway, it's perfect.
I had the Ceasar Chikin wrap. It was tasty.“

“Love there tacos. They are delicious 😋. They have a big variety“

“wow!! great food, great experience! order inside and then go outside and watch them cook it fresh!!!“

“After visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, we decided to try Ali Baba Mediterranean Cuisine of Escondido. My wife saw a recommendation post and we were eager to check it out.

When we arrived, we asked our server which family meal would be good for 3 adults and 2 kids, as we didn't want any leftovers. She suggested the meal for 2-3 people, and it turned out to be perfect.

Our kids loved it and kept saying so tasty, making it the best Mediterranean restaurant we've tried. We asked the server if there are any other locations in other cities, and she said no. Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!“

“Awesome spot for good food. The portions are big, the food is tasty, and the people are really friendly. What more could you want from a great local spot for quick, delicious food. This is a pic of the lamb gyro. It’s massive. Fork for reference. The meat was cooked and cut perfectly, veggies are fresh, everything was fantastic.“

“BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
Been going here for years, since highschool on a bike up until now living in Mira mesa; I still go here for the service and the absolutely crazy big portions you get for how little you pay!

Owner remembers me to this day and food is just as good as it was years ago. Wontons are always a must cuz they’re super light and crispy!! Drinks are p big too“

“Extensive menu has food and drink that is something for everyone. Great vibe I really enjoy coming here with my mom. It's quieter than Chili's. Really comfortable seating and spacious. Great desserts too with some delicious options you don't see everywhere. Easy access and easy parking.“

“Just tried this place and oh my, is it ever delicious homemade fresh food!
We had both Chicken with green sauce and Beef with red, and both we so tasty!!! We will definitely be back!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Soy. Un cliente. Q. Frecuenta. Mucho. Este. Restaurante selos. Recomiendo muy. Deliciosa su comida Grasias. Por todo.“

“I bought 1 gyro, $7.99, a combination plate, $14.99, which comes packed with rice, salad, gyro meat and a kabob, and 1 pita bread, $.99. The price was more than fair for the amount of food we got. The food tasted fantastic, besides the fact that it fed my wife, and four daughters. They all raved about it. If you appreciate Mediterranean food, this place is great!“

“This was an excellent find. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. The service was quick and friendly. My group of 3 was very comfortable at our table. We all would happily come again and recommend it to others. I particularly enjoyed my drunken noodles.“

“Best chicken soup!! All the daily specials are great! Flavorful food at a reasonable price“

“I hadn't been here since the ownership changed. I was happy to see my favorite server was still there. Had a delicious burger - very fresh. Service was great, as it always has been. All the staff were friendly. Prices still very reasonable.“

“This is my FAVORITE Mexican food in all of North County. The food is AMAZING, horchata is amazing, the employees are really kind and I appreciate that they are following COVID guidelines not letting anyone inside...food is either ordered to go or there are a few tables outside you can sit at. Definitely recommend ❤️“

“This is a fantastic place to eat, lots of choice of homemade food. We enjoyed every meal we ate (3 days), staff are fantastic and very welcoming, it was very quiet when we visited but that is because it was early evening. Dont put off by the outside and how quiet it is!“

“Had my 33rd bday here with 40+ guests and I can honestly say I am more than happy with the experience. The staff was attentive quick and super friendly. The food was great and the place was big enough where we didn’t feel trapped. Kaitlyn was the bar manager at the time and she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for big events“

“We enjoy the friendly, fun atmosphere of Hernandez Hideaway. The Mexican food is excellent, service quick and friendly, and the drinks powerful. We have a great time each time we go.“

“Awesome food and exelent service 👌“

“Hot And Fresh And SUPER Tasty 💯“

“LOVE the order ahead pick up drive through! Food is delish and service is on point! Thank you Mirin you never disappoint“

“I only picked up for this first visit, so I didn't get the full in-restaurant experience (which I plan to do in the future).

But basically; the staff was nice, the restaurant seemed clean and appropriately dark (I love the ambience of most Round Table Pizza locations) and parking was easy. The entrance is a little weirdly tight when you first go in, but that's a minor issue.

The Pizza we got (stuffed crust 3-topping large) was good and basically as-expected from a Round Table, although maybe a hair undercooked, but not enough to be a problem (just enough to notice). At least compared to other RTP's I've been to.

Though the garlic parm twists were weirdly underwhelming. Usually these are a really nice soft bread with a good layering of the garlic and parm (almost like pesto on a pesto sandwich), but these had very little of the garlic butter/sauce and parmesan AND was super dry and hard. I ended up only eating two of them and tossing the rest (my wife doesn't like garlic sides but also couldn't eat them because they were so hard).

So I won't be ordering sides from this location anymore. At least not for a while.“

“Omg I LOVED their horchata. It's so hard to find good horchata and that combined with their delicious food? I'm hooked 😋 my husband found this place on the fly during his lunch break a few days ago and said I HAD to try it and we drove from lakeside to eat here. Was not disappointed and would highly recommend 👌“
