“Had a great time at Misadventure & Co. with some friends. The cocktails were delicious and wonderfully balanced.

“Tried the Hot Banana Mocha and the Nutty Dang Smoothie today and WOW—both were absolute standouts in their own way.

The Hot Banana Mocha was such a unique twist on a classic. The banana added a natural sweetness and creamy texture that blended perfectly with the rich mocha flavor. It felt indulgent but still smooth and comforting—definitely something I’d crave on a cozy morning.

The Nutty Dang Smoothie was just as impressive but in a totally different vibe. Super refreshing, with a great balance of nutty richness and light sweetness. It tasted clean, energizing, and satisfying without being too heavy. Perfect for a quick pick-me-up or post-workout treat.

Honestly, both drinks were creative, well-balanced, and memorable. You can tell there’s real thought put into the flavors. Highly recommend trying both if you get the chance!“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“My girlfriend and I LOVE this place! Discovered it by accident two years ago when I moved to Carlsbad… I live an hour and a half north now but still a mandatory stop for us anytime we are in the area! Everyone working there is so friendly and you can’t beat the service!“

“Sundays are meal prep day so I venture over to the only vegan grocery in my area to grab the essentials for a week of easy lunches and found my all time favorite frozen pizza #blackbyrdpizza and so much more. Everything is here for a plant-based diet.🌿 #iykyk“

“great spot with great food. I always feel welcome when I go in there“

“Lur Ros Thai Kitchen is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in Vista! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tastes authentic and made with love — you can really tell they care about quality and tradition.

The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, the curries were rich and aromatic, and the Thai tea was amazing. The spice level was just right and customizable to your preference.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel like family. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner, date night, or family meal.
Highly recommend Lur Ros Thai Kitchen if you’re craving authentic Thai food in Vista. We will definitely be coming back!“

“I have never eaten here. Five stars because a friend brought one of their salads to a party ten years ago and I still think about that ranch bc it’s the best ranch dressing I’ve ever had. lol. Please sell it in stores bc I don’t live locally!!“

“Shaks came recommended to us by our wedding photographer. Upon finding out they were Armenian Lebanese (same as my family!), we knew we would book with them. As we lived out of the country, our parents went to the menu tasting and had the time of their lives. They came back raving about the place and said we have to book. Totally didn't understand the assignment of narrowing down the menu items we should have on the big day, lol. but that's a testament to how good the food is (especially the fresh falafel). Andrew was so helpful on calls, as he is very busy and emails weren't the best method of communication, and answered all of our questions, worked within our parameters and with a ton of integrity. The team was a delight on the day of and worked their tails off in the kitchen with a smile and in front of the guests. The food was a hit with the guest and I am still thinking about the garlic that I'm sure I smelled like on the wedding night because I just couldn't get enough, lol. The leftovers were awesome to have and to share with guests, too. We will be visiting Shak's when we're in the area as a nostalgia trip!!“

“The company I work for periodically has restaurants that do delivery, catering. This one is the best!!! My favorite item is the house salad.
might sound weird for a Pizza restaurant but don't pass It up it is amazing!!!! Delivered with care by door dash, perfect even got my requests right! 10 out of 10! Will be ordering again. Do you sell the dressing in larger sizes?“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“Family favorite! Love the slices for in-house but whole pies for delivery at home is the jam!! Can’t sleep on the house salad either- definitely the “best”!!
Delivery is always quality service. Shout out to Evan for great customer service 🍕“

“We loved the food. The place is very large with a good size banquet room.I had stuffed shells and the Salmon The Salmon was a little undercooked for out tasted. It was cooked Alaska style. We sent back and a few minutes later it came back perfect. There's a large wine selecting coming from several countries. The price was reasonable.“

“Great staff good food good drink and right down the street. It always going to be a good time ….“

“This is where my wife and I met on our first date . It holds significant emotional meaning but it's also simply amazing food. we never have any issue and we bring family and friends here often.“

“This Handel's location is so perfect, as my kids have frequented it after we've watched shows at the AVO, as well as when they were actual performers at the AVO. That being said, the line can get pretty long after a performance. However, the staff moved through customers quickly, and our latest cashier, Briana, was so kind. She made sure we felt important and apologized for the long line (even though it wasn't her fault). She was patient when my youngest still could not decide on a treat even after waiting for so long. She made the stress a mom could feel after the experience in a long line with young ones feel minimal with her empathetic care for us. Handel's is lucky to have her representing their business. And I would recommend coming to this Handel's whenever you come to downtown Vista and watch a show at the AVO.“

“Great food great staff!!!“

“Best food I’ve had in years! So glad you’re here in Temecula, can’t wait to go back!!“

“Great place to eat fresh and hand made food, the best Chinese food in Vista.“

“I would give a 4.5 if I could, but can’t give a 5 because the blacked mahi was a bit over-seasoned, making it a bit too salty.
Portions were awesome, food and toppings were fresh. Probably the best Rubio’s we’ve had except for the mahi seasoning.
The temp in the store was a bit cool, and it was one of these very warm (80) days in the area.“

“We had a great breakfast and service was awesome“

“Food is awesome n delicious“

“We LOVE ourselves some Chef Tangs! From the first visit, we identified a superb atmosphere to enjoy fresh, quality food with great pricing. If you like spicy, you cannot pass on their hot and spicy soup. We have turned on several friends to that dish alone! We have also dabbled with most of their chicken and beef dishes; all have been fantastic! The owner, Lee, is an outstanding guy. Always amazing service with a smile. His staff always goes out of the way to make your dining experience memorable and pleasurable. They’ve made us feel like family from the beginning. We endorse this restaurant with our highest regard and crave it on a weekly basis. Get over there and try it for yourself. You’ll become a regular in no time!“

“Good customer service and great food!!!“

“It was a pleasure to work with Laura, and the cakes she created for my daughter's weddng were spectacular!

The 4-tier wedding cake was stunning and exactly what my daughter envisioned. Laura also made a darling little birthday cake for my granddaughter (whose 1st birthday was the day of the wedding) - it was a perfect complement to the wedding cake.

The cakes themselves were beyond delicious. I lost count of how many of our guests said, “I never bother with wedding cake, but everyone keeps saying how good these cakes are, so I have to have a slice.” One friend had four slices of the strawberry cake alone!

Highly recommend!!“

“They say the 3rd time is a charm.
We tried to get in 2 different times but they were full.
On the 3rd try we understood why it's so crowded the food was fabulous. Hubby got drunken noodles loved them and I had Crispy Chickee and loved it also.
Try it you'll love it.“

“The food is excellent here every single time. The shop is clearly run by a very sweet family and their ability to make delicious food is wonderful.

The makhini is slept it's so good, and their curries are very flavorful. Best Nan out there and super sweet service.

I'll always support this family for as many years as possible“

“I had an issue recently and contacted LRK. I wasn’t expecting what they gave me to correct the issue. OMG! I have been a LRK customer for almost a year now and I will continue! Great product and a beautiful company that believes in quality and taking care of their customers!! Please don’t change as you all get bigger at Local Roots!! Love you all!“

“My favorite sports bar to meet friends! And my puppy is welcome in the outside dining area. Oggi's has an extensive casual menu of fresh salads, specialty pizzas, burgers and gluten-free, healthy options that pair perfectly with craft beer and cocktails. The garlic knots bread appetizer is so YUM! Definitely order the larger portion size. I like the option of ordering Half or Full portion size for most dishes. Service was friendly and attentive. Recommend!“

“Sky Sushi has great service . The staff is great . The food is amazing. If you haven’t been there you need to go and try the food .“

“This is my favorite Flippin’ location (Vista). The taste of the food is consistent, staff is friendly, and it’s always clean. I will bypass other locations for this one, because the others I tried did not taste as well!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had an amazing experience at this family restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The customer service was outstanding; everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. On top of that, the wait time was practically nonexistent, which made the experience even better. It's not often you find great food, excellent service, and fast seating all in one place. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal!“
