The Switchboard Restaurant & Bar

I took my husband here for a birthday dinner, and it was outstanding from start to finish. The mussels with fennel and sausage were so delicious that we took the leftover sauce home just to keep dipping into it. The hanger steak and frites were cooked to perfection, with absolutely incredible sauces. The fish was impressively fresh, though the pepper and olive oil accompaniment wasn't quite our preference. The true highlight of the evening was the cheesecake dessert—pistachio, raspberry, and a chocolate crust... unforgettable. Pair it all with the chilled Croatian red wine, which is a must. The service was phenomenal, and the ambiance was beautifully thought out, from the leather banquettes and pillows to the table settings and every small detail. This place is a true gem—don't miss it!

Little Fawn did not disappoint.. When I stumbled across reservation availability for this place a few weeks ago and read all the wonderful reviews, I made a mental note to go back and try it out. My husband and I went last night as a party of 2. It is "Little" as the name suggests but large in flavor and service. We started with the yellowtail and mussels - taste profiles which are on opposite ends of the spectrum but neither should be skipped. We then shared the steak frites and chicken thighs for dinner. I only wish the servings were larger. That said, I didn't leave hungry. The ambiance is hip but still warm and cozy, with gentle rap playing in the background (if that can be a thing!). And the service was superb; attentive, friendly, and willing to provide suggestions on the menu. We will definitely be back, next time with friends or our adult kids. Highly recommend!!

Probably the best steak I've ever had. Everything is great here and the vibe is perfect. It has a cozy feel, which is rare for Oceanside restaurants.

Seriously, one on the best meals in a while! What a gem! I booked yesterday afternoon and got a table for 5pm. Of course we were the first ones there but felt like family already. We loved the Switchboard when it was there but we LOVE LOVE Little Fawn! The drinks were perfect, our server made us feel so comfortable, like family she actually liked. And the food...AMAZINGLY EPIC!!! The seasonal butternut squash was soooo delicious, we could have stopped there. However, the steak frites - OH MY! Perfectly perfect! The best flavors on a steak EVER! (That's over 50 years of tasting great steak! Best Steak EVER! Seriously!!! We love this place!

Amazing food and interesting (and good!) wine list. I followed this team from their Echale location in Encinitas and they never disappoint. Everything I've had has been delicious - and be sure to save room for dessert!

Food on point, drinks on point, owner John personally served and conversed with us. Dessert was delicious. Appetizers nicely prepared and right sized portions. Well done Little Farm, will be back!

The food is the star here. Hamachi and butternut squash were both delicious (and I don't like squash!). I ordered the steak frites and devoured every last bite. Others had the branzino and Brussel sprouts and raved about them. This place is a new gem in Oceanside!

I read an inviting article in the San Diego Union Tribune....hmmm, located in a hotel on the Coast Hwy in Oceanside??? Reflecting on a past decade and a visit to the Ryde Hotel—a 1940's art deco Hotel California on the banks of the Sacramento River. The Fin Hotel is none of that...think boutique hotel and part of the Hilton chain! Stepping into the hotel reception area and then into a most pleasing contemporary setting already brimming with good souls and better music, we settled in for the best-ever hanger steak with bernaise and a splendid Slovenian pinot noir. Yes the quarters are tight, and expansion is in the works. But Little Fawn is truly our new go-to preference for casual, contemporary dining. Abrazos to John the owner and thanks to Page our radiant server.

Great overall experience, again- This was a repeat visit for me but a first time visit for the friend I brought with me; she, not an adventurous eater, loved everything we tried. Our cocktails were made by our server, and she was great, and so were the drinks she made us! We hope this restaurant succeeds!

5 star experience! Excellent ambiance, cocktails, service, and the food was STELLAR. We will absolutely be back, and look forward to ordering the steak frites, savory butternut squash, and lamb meatballs again, all while trying to order more dishes too!

What a find! Little Fawn is a perfect place to have dinner in Oceanside. Service was personable. They have an eclectic selection of cocktails and wine. The food, created by head chef Seth Tuma, is amazing. We were a party of three. We shared the butternut squash, glazed carrots, lamb meatballs. The Wagyu Hamburger was delicious and the steak frites was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Chef Seth brought our food to the table and was willing to talk for a few minutes. We will return soon. We can't say enough about Little Fawn.

One of our favorite restaurants in Oceanside. Service is always good. Food is delicious. They play good music. I like the dim lighting. Can't wait to try brunch.

Food was amazing , ambience was really nice - they brought our son a delicious piece of cheesecake with a candle for his birthday and we had a really fun evening ! Would definitely return.

so freaking good. went for their thanksgiving set menu and so glad I didn't have to choose because it's just simply too hard to say no to a dish. the Bordeaux was a perfect opening and complement. the flavors are outstanding and the vibe is fresh. Thanks for an incredible meal. (Short ribs, japanese sweet potato, salad, green beans, apple and date pie) cant wait to come back.

This is the newest gem in Oceanside. Great staff and they understand the importance of building a local clientele. The cocktails are top notch and you can taste the pride put into each drink. We tried the Cesar sale, mussels and had the hanger steak. Very hard to tell which was best as they all were awesome. Make sure you try the bread pudding. I'm not a desert guy but this was really good. Already top five of downtown restaurants.
