333 Pacific was a gorgeous place to dine for our anniversary celebration. I put in our reservation request that we were celebrating and that we would like the Oceanview Terrace and they sat us there with no issues. The temperature was perfect for me and the ambiance was nice. Food was delicious. Service could have been a little more attentive, but nothing to really complain about.
Outstanding service. Very good food. Get rid of the 5% increased costs charge. It's insulting.

We arrived a bit early (5:45) for our 6:15 reservation and hostess was kind enough to let us know Happy Hour was still going on at the bar until 6:00 so we went and had a drink and appetizer before going into dining room for dinner. The Happy Hour hostess was a very attentive and personable and allowed us to take my glass of wine into the dining room. We closed our tab when we left bar area, and left her a large tip. The waiter in the dining room seemed a bit displeased that we had started in the bar (less tip for him) and wasn't very attentive. The food was delicious (filet mignon) and spinach side and my husband ordered a cocktail. When the check came we paid and still left an 18% tip (we usually tip higher for good service). When we looked at receipt this AM we noticed they tacked on a 4% "surcharge" for something. Make sure you check your bill before paying.

I had a fantastic experience! From the moment I arrived, the service was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and professional. Everything about the visit exceeded my expectations, and I truly had a great time. I left feeling happy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for excellent service and a memorable outing!

We were expecting much more than we got! Instead of seating us inside where there was plenty of room for two, they sat us in an "outside" glassed-in area right next to a servers' station. There were 3-4 servers standing there having a pretty raucous conversation and we couldn't even hear ourselves talk over the din. We asked to be moved and about 5 minutes later a manager showed up asking us if everything was OK. He let us pick the spot out there and we moved far away from the action. It was very cold there and he said he would put on the heater (which he never did). As a result our food quickly got cold. The server was nice but slow. I asked for blue cheese-stuffed olives in my martini. She said they were hand stuffed, but they were clearly not - they were of the old, hard factory stuffed variety. The Daou rose we selected was very good. Our pork belly appetizer and my lobster bisque (too salty) were just OK. My wife's flat iron steak was good and cooked the way she liked it. But the "roasted potatoes" were not the "new potatoes" you would expect, but rather large potatoes cut into one-inch cubes and deep fired. Yuk! I guess they plated my scallop dinner before they cooked her steak so that when they brought out our food, mine was luke-warm at best and got cold quickly. The scallops were nicely cooked, and the mushroom risotto was excellent. But the asparagus on top of it consisted of a total of three old, crunchy, cold tiny stalks. I couldn't even chew the bottoms of the asparagus and had to spit it out. The dessert was so unremarkable I don't even remember what it was. And lastly, the price was certainly not commensurate with the poor quality. So, inclosing, I do NOT recommend this restaurant. We will certainly not go there again. And, although we are typically very happy with CRG restaurants, this was decidedly an exception to that trend.

The food, as always, was. WONDERFUL. We had the 333 salad, the meatloaf with roasted potatoes instead of mashed, an order of mushrooms on the side (incredible!), and a shrimp cocktail to die for. Everything was so good. The service was impeccable, the noise level was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a nicer evening.

The staff were delightful the food delicious and the view was wonderful despite the cloudy day. Even without the wonderful sunset to close out the evening due to weather conditions the restaurant was cozy with a view of the water. The did a good job making us feel special for our anniversary dinner.

It was our anniversary. We have not dined out much since COVID. I am at high risk, so I barely ever eat at a restaurant. If I am traveling with my family and I am unable to door dash or carryout, I will only eat at restaurants that offer outdoor settings. This year I wanted to try something different, but I was also hesitant since I did not know whether the restaurant offered outdoor or ventilated setting away from other tables. I went on OpenTable to see what restaurant was rated high with an extending menu near my area. I saw 333 Pacific - Steaks & Seafood downtown Oceanside CA near the Pacific Ocean. 333 Pacific - Steaks & Seafood had great ratings and extending menu making it easy for most people to find an item that they would like to order. I made the reservation that day and my husband and I showed up. When we got to the restaurant, I was immediately uneasy about whether the restaurant would have an area that I felt safe enough to dine in. I had ordered a special table with roses to make our anniversary more romantic which was pre-chosen and would limit where we could sit. We were greeted by Erin who took us to our table. I told my husband that I was sorry, but if I did not feel safe eating there that we would have to cancel and leave. He agreed. Erin could tell I was concerned about where we would be seated. Erin took us to our preselected rose and candlelit table. The table Erin chose was perfectly located away from everyone in a very vented area. I was presently pleased. For the first time in a while, I felt safe enough to dine out with my husband on our special day. From the beginning, Erin was so attentive and helpful. We received the best service that we had ever received even prior to COVID when we used to frequent many restaurants in the past. Not only did we receive the most outstanding service, but the food was also incredible. We ended our night with a special dessert. We will come again. Please check it out!

our family of 5 came in on a busy night and they promptly sat us in the bar area. Our server was so awesome. She was very attentive and brought us things before we even asked. Everything we ate was delicious and came out quickly. We highly recommend the oysters and the cioppino. Our little boy even had a nice kids menu to order from. The ambiance was fine dining but not pretentious.

We had a reservation. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. As for the food, it was splendid. 😊 We had lobster bisque, filet minon, braised brisket, and some vegetables. The kids had pasta. Everything was so delicious and tender, and came in a timely manner. Our cocktails were on point🤩 The atmosphere was great. Very clean and not too loud. Nice lighting. The restaurant is located directly across the street from the Oceanside pier. Great view. Overall, a great experience.
