Went here yesterday after doing a venue tour. It's been on my list of places to try. I got the classic eggs Benedict with a hazelnut oat milk latte and my boyfriend got their classic breakfast. I like the fact that we can go to the counter first to order and pay before seating. Less time waiting for someone to come and take our order. I think the place is a pretty nice place to go to when you're in Oceanside and just want a quick lunch. Parking is not that great. It's a great area with waterfront views so definitely a place to check out.

the food was fantastic!!! the coffee mug was the size of my head! I loved it I also loved the fact that you can take the rest of your coffee to go if you can't finish it. Service was amazing. the place was very oceanside home feeling. The restroom had really cute decor made from a local artist.

This place was delicious. The service as we ordered was amazing. It's a nice cozy place. If we're back in the area, we will definitely go back.

Great place for brunch. Right by the harbor. This is a sit yourself and counter service type of venue. They have both indoor and patio seating. Open air and just California vibe. We tried two of their benedicts: lobster Benedict and egg Benedict. Lobster Benedict has minced lobster meat on top of the eggs. Classic breakfast and egg Benedict never fail.

Food is 10/10. Coffee cake is the moistest in the land. Loved my club sandwich and salad.

OMG, this place Rocks! The service is top notch, the food was great, and the mimosas out of this world. And to top off all that, this restaurant is right on the harbor. Wow, don't miss this little gem right in front of your face. And do the staff a favor and reach deep into those pockets and take care of your servers and tip well!

First time here, You seat yourself, order at the register and serve yourself if you get coffee or a fountain drink. I ordered the reef and turf. The plate was good but could have been a lot better if there was more flavor/seasoning. I also ordered a bloody Mary and that was exceptional! The food came out quickly and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The harbor view is always a plus. I would recommend it.

Was vacationing in Vista for the weekend and looking for a savory breakfast spot. I read the good reviews on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. It was Sunday St. Patrick's Day at about 11am ish so we anticipated a wait. Wasn't too bad. You order and pay at the counter and then go find a table. We sat outside where there is a delightful view of the harbor(and great for people watching). I ordered the Vegetarian Scramble with Sourdough Toast. It was okay. I think the toast was made way ahead of time so unfortunately it wasn't warm. Wasn't a huge deal but warm toast is nice ;) My husband said he enjoyed his Beef and Reef.

A Brunch Haven: Stratford at the Harbor ReviewMy wife and I recently had the pleasure of stopping by Stratford at the Harbor during our visit to Oceanside, California, and it exceeded all our expectations. We were on a week-long stay in California, and this brunch experience stood out.For our meal, my wife indulged in the Lobster Eggs Benedict, which she described as divine. I opted for the Chilaquiles Jalisco, and every bite was a burst of flavor. But it wasn't just the main dishes that impressed us; the warm coffee cake served alongside was nothing short of perfection. Even my 5-year-old daughter couldn't get enough of the pancakes, and my son thoroughly enjoyed his mini burger with cheese and fries.One of the standout features of Stratford at the Harbor is their diverse beverage selection. From a variety of coffee flavors to fountain drinks, everything is self-serve, allowing guests to customize their drinks to their liking.Adding to the delightful ambiance was the fantastic music selection, featuring tunes from Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, and more. It created the perfect backdrop for our meal, enhancing our overall experience.As visitors from El Paso, Texas, we were simply passing through on our journey back home, but our stop at Stratford at the Harbor left a lasting impression. It's a great spot for families and food enthusiasts alike, offering delicious dishes, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to visit again on our next trip to the area.
