“Nice environment and friendly staff. It could be that I’ve gotten used to large pours of lower quality wines but this is the smallest pour of Chardonnay I’ve ever had - for $18. And I do eat out a lot and go to wineries frequently. If price isn’t an issue definitely come here. Delicious Chardonnay.“

“Such a foodie place! The wine and food is amazing! I loved talking to the owner about the wine, he poured me multiple tastes to make sure I liked my glass. Also the food is very very good. Highly recommend! We went there for book club and it was such a fun environment to spend a night with the ladies!“

“Awesome place with great vibe and food. Highly recommend ��“

“Second visit and just as delightful as the first. Little Victory Wine Bar continues to impress on every level. The service was exceptional—thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. Our server went above and beyond by pulling a bottle that wasn't even on the menu for us to taste, which we ultimately ended up loving and ordering. The food menu is intentionally small and highly curated, but don't let that fool you. Each dish showcases creativity, balance, and bold flavor, proving that restraint can be far more impressive than excess. Little Victory is the kind of neighborhood gem that keeps you coming back—whether for the wine, the food, or the impeccable hospitality.“

“We love our neighborhood go to spot for excellent wine and beer choices and perfect bistro food: salads, small plates, flat breads and out of this world cheese boards. Lucky to have so close and with such friendly staff!“

“Fun, Mid-Century Modern...last century😉...decor...great creative cocktails, shareable plates of craft Mediterranean inspired dishes...all to the background of classic JBL 4350 Studio Monitors fed with an eclectic mix from guest DJ's with a variety of global musical styles...all in a near-beach neighborhood on the World Famous Pacific Coast Highway. Well done, Dominique!“

“La Costa Wine Co.
A locally owned and operated wine and craft beer shop with a great twist—there’s a welcoming area in the back where you can enjoy an impressive selection of wines and beers, paired with excellent cheeses, cold cuts, and flatbreads.
From the moment you walk in, there’s a genuine sense of community. I met some amazing people and truly felt the family atmosphere that the owners have created. A big part of that comes from the team—Alessa, Reggie, Fernando, Andrew, Connor, Trianna, and Shawn—who were all fantastic: welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging, making the experience feel personal and relaxed.
The space has a modern wine-cellar vibe, complemented by a really well-curated mix of music. You can immediately tell the owner is hands-on and has a great eye for building a team that fits the culture—friendly, passionate, and never pretentious.
I visited a couple of Sundays in a row and found it to be the perfect balance: not overly busy, but lively enough to feel engaging and social. I also went back on a Friday, and it was lively and buzzing—a great energy without feeling overwhelming. Even better, the owner is truly hands-on, consistently checking in on guests around the room and making sure everyone is having a great experience.
They offer memberships and host regular tasting events, which adds even more value for locals. This is truly a great neighborhood wine bar set in an upscale yet relaxed environment.
It’s absolutely worth stopping by just to browse the excellent wine and beer selection—but like me, you’ll probably find yourself drawn to the back area, where the magic really happens.“

“Excellent authentic Italian food. The arancini was crisp on the outside with a very thin layer of rice and was oozing with filling of cheese and spinach a the carbonara was perfection with no cream and the creaminess of egg yolks and pasta water. We have spent time in Italy and are planning to move to Italy in months and this was Italy. Perfection!“

“The food here is something unique when it comes to pizza. The pizza varieties are excellent, and the dirty crust option is a must! The Ceaser salad is great, but what happened to all the capers? They are almost nonexistent in the salads now. Lately, the pizza has been burnt or undercooked, super bummed about that, and hoping the consistency returns.“

“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!“

“Pizza și Paste ca la Corner Pizza,mai rar! 3 seri și toate servite la Corner Pizza! Bun rău!!!“

“Good food, pet friendly if you are in the area stop by“

“Tried Frankie's for the first time after passing by the place many times. It has a very nice chill atmosphere. I ordered the Irish Whisky Sour that was on special. The drink was made very well, with a proper pour and balanced flavor. It was so good I ordered another. If you're looking for nice place with a chill vibe, I would highly recommend Frankie's.“

“I've been going here since 97. I have never been disappointed with the quality or quantity of their food, its always delicious. Simon and Nazie are always friendly and pleasant.“

“Crust is one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. It’s a warm, welcoming pizzeria and Italian restaurant tucked away in La Costa, and it’s quickly become one of my new favorites. We had the chance to meet one of the owners, and she couldn’t have been more friendly and genuine — the kind of hospitality that makes the whole experience even better.

The food was absolutely delicious — classic Italian comfort done right — and the drinks were outstanding. It’s the perfect spot whether you’re out for a date night, grabbing dinner with family, or catching a game with friends. I really enjoyed our evening and can’t recommend Crust enough.“

“We own at Marbrisa and have been here at least half a dozen times and love the property and pool area. At The Cove the Menu is simple, and good and the prices are great. The staff around the pool are friendly and keep the loungers organized and take orders for you. 90% of the staff behind the bar at fantastic.“

“Great food! We had the best waitress Sandy she is amazing!!“

“Love The Bunker House! My favorite is the lavender matcha latte with one of their delicious O-side bakery pastries, toasts, sandwiches or French toast sticks. Did you hear me? FRENCH TOAST STICKS. The people that work there are so lovely. Go visit. You’ll love em.“

“I am definitely going back here. The food was outstanding the service was outstanding, I suggest reservations you can get them online but we definitely will be back
