“Delightful and much needed in this food wasteland. $$-$$$ but a Charcuterie Board, which is generous, at the bar is adequate to give a you a sense of the place and you want to make a full dinner commitment. Drink menu is creative as is the dinner menu. We sampled bit of every thing and our favorites were the beet salad and the scallops. The band was good but I would preferred sitting a little farther away for talking. Perfect place to break a sparkly dress!“

Ringer's Cocktail Lounge Cocktail Bar • $
5517 Mission Rd #2, Bonsall

“Best dive bar ever. This is the only bar in Bonsall so it is always filled with locals, usually between ages 35-70. This used to be a stopping spot for traveling bikers so there is still often bikers that come in. The drinks are strong and decent priced. There is a happy hour special. You can also drink and smoke cigarettes on a small patio, if needed. They used to allow dogs but lately, only service animals.“

“What a find this place is! The cocktail program is spectacular, extremely unique and well balanced original cocktails coupled with excellent classics.Food is also really tasty and unique with thai inspired dishes.As if Same Same wasn't great enough, they have gluten free dishes and clearly someone is aware of cross contamination in that kitchen, because I have celiac and woke up feeling great which is kind of rare. So BRAVO Same Same. Your staff was amazingly knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining as well. The decor is also awesome.My husband and I cannot wait to come back and try the whole menu.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and Gluten Free / Celiac friendly“

“Crystal is an amazing bartender, the drinks are absolutely to die for. The creativity she expresses in her cocktails is truly beautiful! I had a pink guava lemon drop (syrup made in house, as all of them are) and it's a wonderful speakeasy to visit with a bigger space than you'd expect. I'd give this place a 15/10.“

“Hidden behind another pizza joint, I suggested we eat here instead. I was honestly thinking they would have pizza by the slice, but their way of competing against the many other pizza choices around the village is different. They offer a menu more than just pizza, including pasta, salad, veggie appetizers, and wine. Their pizza is practically a thin crust until you get to the end. It was amazing how perfect the crust was. It wasn't floppy anywhere and had a good chew. It was wonderful to dip into the leftover sauce from the stuffed shells, which was also great on its own. The pronounced lemon in the filling was awesome; I actually liked that it wasn't just a hint of lemon. The ambiance is intimate, but it's nice where we sat in their outdoor area. The service was OK. We weren't greeted when we stepped inside or as we walked up. The server didn't present our food by name, but rather placed it on the table. I don't think they even said, "enjoy". It just wasn't personable for a small local shop. When we left, however, another server who was working inside said bye and thank you. Guess it depends who you get.“

“I see this place daily and always wanted to try their food. This restaurant is a real hidden gem. Tucked inside the Carlsbad mall, you could easily miss them. I was craving a Miso soup, and they didn't disappoint. I also ordered mixed fried rice, and that had chicken and garlic diced inside, and that was decisions. I also ordered garlic edamame and a nice salmon roll. Everything was made fresh. Glad I stopped in.Parking: Lots of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“We've been eating at Uncle Tony's for many years and love it. During the "pandemic", aside from the great food, Uncle Tony's restaurant was an island of clarity surrounded by an ocean of insanity. The atmosphere is great and the background music is perfect. I'd say the lobster ravioli are amazing but then everything else on the menu is also. Family owned and operated, so you'll find Tony talking with customers from behind the bar or around a table.“

“There's plenty of free parking and the restaurant interior reminds me of some type of tex mex restaurant that's slightly dated.I've been here a few times and it's pretty solid. We always get the fried pickle chips. The chipotle aioli dip what elevates this appetizer.I was hesitant about getting the mole because I've been spoiled when I went to Oaxaca. Since then, I've had a tough time finding a restaurant that had great mole. I asked the server if I could have a sample of their mole and they were super kind to oblige. It wasn't at the Oaxaca level but it was one of the better mole I've had (I've had quite a few and some were so bad I couldn't even finish it). The chicken mole enchiladas were great and it came with a side of beans and rice, which made the meal feel complete. It was very filling and I took half of it home to go.I'm not going to lie but the leftovers after they were reheated tasted even better. I don't know if it's because the food had time to marinate in the flavors but I was so happy.I recommend going during their happy hour, they have amazing deals!“

“Great little pub in the heart of Carlsbad village. Amberly was the bartender when I was in, very friendly and personable. Seemed she had a decent crowd of regulars at the end of the bar so that was nice to see. FYI... it's the cleanest mirror behind the bar I've ever seen. I thought the bar was twice as big from what I remember. LOL I'll be back for sure.... Peace FrankieG“

“Appetizer Thai Fresh rolls with shrimp. The rice paper wrap was beautifully sticky just how it should be. Salad was fresh, cold & crisp. Unmistakable Thai basil flavor with crisp assorted veggies.Sauces were sweet thick, peanut heaven. Not too thick though. Just right.As an entree I had Panang Curry Chicken. Now let's talk about spice level. They offer 0-10 scale for spice level. I ordered my usual 3x so that would be 30. Yes THIRTY. After a certain level the great does not increase, but the flavour of the peppers shines through. The Panang sauce was a nice medium brown and the peppers add a tinge of floating red oil once the peppers release their goodness into the sauce. Green beans & bell peppers were crisp and delectible. I was so pleased I forgot to snap a picture of my entree. Sorry folks.Wait staff is pleasant, efficient and friendly. Decor is a little lacking in that Thai touch of elephant statues & paintings, gold accents, and pictures of the Homeland. But decor is near, clean, and effective for a smallish space.Overall a very enjoyable experience!!“
