“Rosewood Kitchen is an absolute gem in Oceanside and hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is inviting, cozy, and thoughtfully designed and is the kind of place that instantly makes you want to linger. The food? Exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and bursting with flavor. You can truly tell that care, creativity, and high-quality ingredients go into every plate. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together. It was elevated food done right. The service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You feel genuinely welcomed, not just served. We actually met the owner, Josh, who is incredibly passionate about what he does and you can taste it in each dish he presented us. Whether you’re looking for a place for to grab a quick bite, a casual meal, or somewhere to take out-of-town guests, Rosewood Kitchen delivers every single time. It’s the kind of spot that makes you excited to come back before you even leave. Highly recommend! Oceanside is lucky to have this place!“

“My bison burger was pretty tasty but for the price, could've included fries or something. It was just the burger n everything else was added. Bison burger with bacon jam got me tho! My husband had a Italian chop salad n he liked it. Service was great. Our friends were an hour late due Sat traffic on the 5. Our server was attentive n super friendly. The tater tots were crispy n well seasoned.“

“The Pour House became one of my favorite bars! The food is great and not too expensive! The staff works hard and makes you feel welcome! Great spot for live bands and always good vibes! Never had problems parking but for that smashburger i would walk 500 miles and 500 more hahaha 📸🤓“

“Probably closer to 3.5 stars. It is a diner
Diner food is hard to mess up. Came to the arena for graduation. Instead of waiting in traffic we took the 10 min walk and ate while it cleared out. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was a little banged up. Bathrooms could've used some work/cleaning. Silverware and plates were flimsy. Other wise they definetlty met expectations. Family/pet friendly and out door seating.“

“The BEST coconut shrimp EVER! ! Love this place! Customer service and food is like no other! !“

“REVISED TO SAY: The restaurant is under new management and I have nothing but praises to sing.I booked Iron Mike's for a group of general officers and a very senior enlisted Marine yesterday and the whole experience was amazing in a number of ways:-Nobody was answering the phone at the event center, so I was there in person early, before opening. Nobody was able to help me until I magically bumped into the restaurant owner/manager Renee. He immediately dropped what he was doing, took me to the restaurant, showed me where he could set up a table and asked me if I wanted waist height or high top tables. He also introduced me to the chef.-While I was waiting for my group to show up later that day he checked with me to see how they would want the tab, and a few other very insightful questions.-When the group showed up he greeted them in person and made their entry very smooth.All in all it was fantastic service. When I spoke to my group of stars later everyone said they enjoyed lunch thoroughly, liked that it was quiet and they could talk, the food was really good and it was an easy experience for them overall.Thank you to those at Iron Mikes who made that part of their day so seamless and enjoyable!“

“Great drinks. My Favorite.. Alamo Margarita“

“What a beautiful restaurant and amazing service and loved how they go over the menu ! We went for anniversary lunch it was chill and the food was amazing! Wish it wasn’t 500 miles away but we be back! We love Oceanside and this restaurant!“

“My favorite employee left. She was like my second mom.Breakfast is where it's at. Lunch is so-so. Best food you can get for the price. Staff is 99% awesome except for the one person who is grumpy to everyone and will undercook your eggs if you really tick her off. Regular omelette lady is 10/10.One of the best chow halls I've eaten at in 18 years of service. (DFACs don't count).“

“We ate there for the first time this weekend the service was amazing and so was the food our only regret is we didn’t know about it sooner“

“This was the place to go when I was in. You could go to the chow hall by our barracks and have an hour left over, but if you went to main side, you will be waiting in line for a while and have to go straight back to work. It was worth it.“

“Great place to eat. Beautiful atmosphere with beautiful people 🙂“

“Our waiter Spencer was excellent. Always checked in on us and was super knowledgeable. The restaurant was beautiful and everyone was kind.“
