“Yesterday's early lunch at the Public House was idyllic. This spot never disappoints, in fact, with each visit I am more enchanted. The food was great. Drinks were generous, tasty and chilled and the server was phenomenal. She was friendly, sweet and efficient. She kept a close eye on our drinks and check in with us a number of times to see that we had all that we needed. A delightful lunch.“

“We visited Karl Strauss in Rancho Bernardo with a large group for a team outing. It’s definitely a good spot for accommodating big, lively groups — the space has a rustic, casual feel that works well for a boisterous gathering.

The food was decent overall, though the vegetarian options were quite limited, which made choices a bit challenging for some in our group. The beer selection was a highlight — people really enjoyed the variety and different flavor profiles available.

One downside was that the heating seemed limited, which made it a bit uncomfortable during our visit.

Overall, it’s a solid place for large, energetic group outings, especially if you’re going for the beer and social vibe. However, it may not be the best choice if you’re looking for a quiet, cozy dinner conversation.“

“Shortly after being seated, water and warm nuts were brought to our table (don't skip the nuts). We started our meal by splitting a wedge salad. Thank goodness we split it — too much for one person. My wife got the burger and our server (and the kitchen) handled the special requests perfectly. The burger was excellent. I debated between the prime rib and the NY Steak — went with the NY on the recommendation of our server, and it was an excellent choice. Cooked to perfection. We ordered the apple cobbler to go, and it was fantastic! From start to finish, it was a great experience! More frequent visits are in the cards.“

“What a great restaurant at the Bernardo Winery. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends for lunch before walking around the cute winery and do some shopping in the boutiques on site.

There are lots of outdoor tables to choose from and most are shaded. It opens at 11am and it was busy soon after. We went on a weekday too.
You can get wines from the tasting room or delicious coffee from Manzanita next door.

You order from the counter and your food will be delivered to your table. Everything we had was delicious though the pizza was a little on the burnt side from the wood fired oven.

Parking: There are two small parking lots and plenty of street parking.“

“We did Afternoon Tea here on a Saturday, and we sat by the fireplace. The tea, food, and service were wonderful. Our server Andrea was especially welcoming and hospitable. She did a great job explaining the different types of tea. The food was delicate and delicious. There was a piano player who was incredible and the ambiance was warm and inviting.“

“great customer service manager is the best and the staff is the best.I came in with a friend and got seated right away food is delicious its comes out quick and hot the restaurant is very clean.“

“A very nice brunch. The burrata with the persimmons was so refreshing and delicious.

There was a bit of wait(10-15mins) even when you have reservations. Parking takes some time too as you'll need to drive up to the valet, so plan accordingly.“
