“Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and staff! Eric is an excellent host, knowledgeable and great to chat with. Would recommend to friends and definitely go again!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Amazing food and service. Totally worth the price and pricing was not bad. We had 2 appetizers, two cocktails, two entrees, two desserts for $250 including tip. I had the sea bass and it was the best cooked fish I have ever had in my life!”
“Lovely brunch place, visiting from London and we’ve struggled to find a decent coffee in Cali, this is the best coffee we’ve had!! Service great and staff are really welcoming and attentive, food delicious. Would highly recommend.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.”
“They didn’t have much to eat besides sweets. Coffee was good. Some seating inside. It was a busy place. Okay seating outside but there were some loud people. I had to be on a meeting and I had to move tables because there were so many people and a single Loud Talker. If the outdoor seating had been better I would have stayed longer”
“Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam!!! Sublime! I got addicted to Jeni’s while visiting Florida (Publix carries it). Ecstatic to find a Jeni’s parlor right here at home! Great staff, huge variety of flavors, inviting spot to sit and savor the creamy, decadent goodness”
“Gluten free crust was amazing ! We are not celiac but sensitive and best crust we have tried. Gelato was great and made in house as well.”
Outdoor Dining
“Except for the long drive-through lines, it’s worth going. And I have to actually admit that the lines move pretty quickly.
I do think that they ought to put their napkins in a separate small bag, before dropping them in on top of the burgers. I can never use them by the time I get home because they’re covered with sauce and cheese!
But that’s just me!”
“I didn’t expect much but was surprised to get the tastiest food I ever ate in Mexican place. I suppose it was because the Taco Oasis shack was a first for me,beng used to restaurants, but those people know how to prepare the most tasty tacos I’ve ever eaten. They also add avocado no extra charge. Carne Asada Taco only $3.50 each. What a deal!”
“Tried this spot out yesterday off door dash, was wanting to try something new and i loved it. Their chicken is so tender and delicious I had to go back again today to see if I was just hyping it up. Today it was also delicious and so juicy !!! I’m definitely going to be coming back to this place over and over and over and over and over and over again till my sweat is 75 percent teriyaki sauce you guys Rock !!!”
“Elissa puts so much thought and dedication into her delicious creations. You won't find Costco muffins repackaged in cellophane at this cafe - you WILL find her handmade recreations of traditional French pastries, fun fantasy-themed original creations, alongside custom flavored and hand-painted chocolates. Highly recommend, delicious. I only wish we lived closer and could visit more often (but that's why my wife has a monthly chocolate subscription to Elissa's companion business, 'Chocolates by E')”
“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back”
“There were 3 of us for dinner and we all enjoyed our meal. The black bean appetizer was delicious. The chips and salsa were brought to the table. Chips were a bit salty for my taste. The California Burrito was huge and delicious. The enchiladas was good as well as the tacos. We will definitely go back.”

“Handel’s Ice Cream is always such a treat. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and there are so many great choices that it’s hard to pick just one. The portions are very generous too, which makes it even better.
The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Definitely one of our favorite places to stop for ice cream. We’ll be back!”
“5 stars! We had a great experience at Chin’s Restaurant. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous. You definitely get a lot of food for your money!
The service was friendly and attentive, and everything we ordered came out perfectly. Great food, big portions, and a very enjoyable experience. We’ll definitely be back!”

“It was just last night. Friday night around 7. I figured we'd have to wait a while to get a table but it was just my mom and I and we actually got seated quickly. We were seated in less than 3 minutes. The restaurant was pretty full too. Our waiter was very nice, quick and efficient. The appetizer came within 5 minutes and the main entree came soon after we finished our Queso Blanco which was so good!! I ordered the Carne Asada steak with beans and rice, onions guac, pico and soft tortillas. I would recommend that to anyone because it is literally the best tasting steak you will ever eat in your life!!
The only thing I was surprised about was they charge 4 bucks for fountain drinks. That seems a bit pricey to me. The food prices are all fair and competitive though. If you love Mexican food like I do, you definitely won't be disappointed!!

“I appreciate a place with great wine and a beautiful charcuterie display. I highly recommend”
“I took a photo to track my calories, and an app I use found this place for me. The shrimp pasta had enough protein and tasted good instead of like diet food. The room was comfortable for a walk-in lunch.”
Takeout Restaurants
“The. Best. Smoothie. I have ever had! So fresh and delicious! Visiting from out of state and had to stop here a few times while we were in Carlsbad! Also really enjoyed the Acai bowl! Excellent customer service, friend staff, clean restaurant and most importantly delicious, fresh, fruity drinks! Can't wait to go back!”
“I’m gonna give 4 star because we love ice cream but the kid working today was the stingiest sample giver ever. Tbh I’m shocked how little was the sample, literally from corner like there is no ingredients in it me to understand actual flavor.
He ruined my ice cream experience literally. We came there happy want some ice cream, you don’t need to make us feel bad like we ask for something wrong. I thought maybe he owns the store or his relatives lol.
We were talking on the way back with my husband, if the owner would know how funny his samples, I think he would be mad. That’s not a good service.
May 29 Friday around 5.30-6 pm.
I won’t visit this store again, I’ll go other ones or maybe just buy from store.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.”
“This is my favorite coffee spot in CA. Ruben is an incredible barista and is extremely knowledgeable about Coffee. His assortment of single origin coffee varietals is like going to a wine bar and having a tasting. He has an entire chart based on the origins of the coffee you are tasting and has direct connections to the Coffee and where it comes from. This is my go to coffee spot if I want to drink pure coffee. He will take you on a journey and give you more information than you could ever learn on your own. This is by far my favorite coffee spot in the world. Oh, and take your kids since there’s a Koi pond that you can feed next to it. If you have a home espresso machine, I highly recommend his espresso blend as you’ll pull the best shots you’ll ever make. Definitely worth a visit.”
“This was our very first time trying Thai food, and we absolutely loved it! TikTok led us to 78 Thai, and it exceeded every expectation.
The Pad Thai with shrimp, cream cheese wontons, Crying Tiger, and Pra-Ram were all outstanding. And the fresh coconut juice with real coconut inside is a must try!! it was the best and most refreshing coconut drink we’ve ever had.
If you’ve never tried Thai food before, this is the perfect place to start. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Tried the newly released Citra By-The-Sea hazy IPA, and it was wonderful! Always good friendly service, most every time I am in Carlsbad I try to stop in and have a beer.”
“A great spot to relax and stare at the ocean! The poke tostadas were Amanda we had a nice dinner. Shri.p ceviche and the salmon were very good. I would highly recommend this spot if you are anywhere close to the area!”

“Coffee and food were delicious! My wife's chai latte wasn't quite up to her standards but they happily made her a different drink. Great vibes and amazing customer service. And the salmon toast was honestly one of the best dishes we had on our trip. Highly recommend.”
“I love the service I get from Lullabar. I had been trying to ween myself off of a toxic relationship with acrylic. This resulted in going on an over 18 month “get your nails healthy” journey. I have had my nails done with Sherlyn now four times. She is patient, professional and really good at what she does. The atmosphere is excellent. My second favorite thing to coming out with lovely hands is the cafe! If you prebook, you are awarded with a drink…the lavender latte is to die for.”
“excellent place all around. only been going for about 2 months but as soon as I walk in the door Mr Charlie knows exactly what I want(corn chicken pablano soup) which tastes amazing and made fresh daily from scratch and it shows. the sandwiches are also top notch in taste, generously filled and at an affordable price. Def dont skip this place if you have a chance to stop by!”
“I love tacos El Pueblo!!!! A San Diego classic with the famous $1.39 fish tacos (at the time of this writing) their service is fantastic. The staff is friendly. The food is great. The salsa is awesome! And the complimentary pickled carrots are a classic. I sincerely hope you will read this review and visit this esteemed establishment to give them your business as opposed to visiting a crappiestablishment such as Chipotle.”
“The community is very fortunate to have Anthony and his team to make this area of the campground a place for everyone to enjoy. The views, facilities and lets not forget the music and giving artists a venue to share thier talents. What a Great venue for locals and the surrounding communities. I would like to add, it is very difficult for Anthony and his team to keep this business going. I have notice a few people and groups are bringing in thier own food and drinks. This makes it very difficult for the Campstore to stay in business. All the things they do for the holidays and Jurassic Animals for the kids, this cost a lot. Can we just enjoy something special that they have built for all of us to enjoy. Let's support the staff, management and leadership with our patronage.”
“I’m in love with biryani here vegetarian biryani I tried at 100places but finally I quit eating vegetable biryani But this place when I tried I loved it Will never go anywhere if I want vegetarian biryani this is my only place to go Plus another thing I love their chats samosa chat and aloo tikki chat Aloo tikki chat is my favourite one Haven’t tried anything else yet but will update if I will tried some another dishes 💯 recommended”
“We grabbed lunch to go and ate by the beach. The staff was kind and our food was prepared right away. The portions were very generous. We both had salmon bowls and fruit tea and they were amazing!! The intnerior atmosphere appeared clean but not welcoming to sit and eat. The place is pretty small. I would definitely order from here again if I am in the area.”
“I stopped at Mot’to Japanese Grill and WOW… this place seriously delivers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I ordered the Chicken & California Roll and it was so worth it. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in rich, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and the California roll was super fresh and tasted way better than expected. 👀 It also came with rice, miso soup, and a salad, so you’re getting a full, satisfying meal. 🤤🫶🏻
Everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well put together—not heavy, just super enjoyable. The portions were solid, the flavors were on point, and you can tell they actually care about the quality. 😊💕
Service was quick and smooth, and the staff was friendly, which made the whole experience even better. 🫶🏻
Definitely one of those spots I’ll 💯 keep coming back to when I'm here in Carlsbad - highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼”
“Simply amazing! My husband and I frequent Naked. The food is awesome, and the service is amazing. We thought we would post a review of a visit we made there a few days ago. When we walked into the restaurant, (early 8:00 am) for breakfast, there was a table that had already been serviced with about 14-16 people. Michael, the manager was already taking their order. When he was finished taking their order, he came over to our table to take ours. He told us that there was a large table before us, so it might be a while before we received our order. Surprisingly enough, within in 10 minutes!, no lie, the large table was being served their orders and at the SAME time, our order came out as well. I don’t know how they do it. We love coming to Naked! Thank you Michael and staff!!! Kim & Tony”
“Awesome food! We were in town at Carlsbad for the weekend, and visited it twice. Everything we tried was huge portions and fabulous! Servers and staff were very friendly, and very knowledgeable. If you are in the area, stop in and enjoy!!”
“It's amazing. Simply amazing. Great customer service. Delicious sushi. Good music. Love love love.”
“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.”
“Excellent costumer service from the hostesses to the bar , I like to recognize Bartender/Server Elias went above and beyond to make us feel welcome he was amazing. 5⭐️”
“Gabi, Brittany, and Alex at the bar are wonderful! They’re always so welcoming, friendly, and make sure you’re being taken care of. I always enjoy their excellent service!”
“My family and I had a wonderful time yesterday. Thanks for the great food and conversation! - The Cole's from Idaho”
“I was out of town for a week and when I walked into the Carlsbad store today Juliette greeted me with a big smile and even called me by name. I missed you guys when I was traveling. Thanks for making me healthy 🙏”
“Food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor, but the chicken flautas deserve their own congressional holiday. Hands down the best I’ve ever had. I’m honestly a little annoyed because now every other flauta has been ruined for me. 10/10, would happily create this problem again.”
“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!”
“Charming neighborhood wine bar with a limited, yet delicious bar menu. It has the ambiance of a small, vintage French cafe. It has a casual vibe and it appears the local residents really like it. Only a few tables, so don't expect to be seated between 4-7pm without a reservation. We had to book a few weeks in advance...and it was worth the wait.”
“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!”
“Good hotpot and great service. Roger was such a friendly and attentive server. He did a great job at explaining how everything worked and was a great guy to talk to. I would gladly come back.”
“All aspects of the dining experience continue to be excellent. Valet service was lacking on this visit. Standing in two empty spots, the valet told us the lot was full, and that we should find free curb parking in the neighborhood. That proved impossible, so we parked in the paid beach parking lot and luckily avoided any major heart or back issues on the uphill trek to the restaurant. In the past, valets have hustled and queued street parking until spots were available. Last night's valet seemed to be mostly focused on minimizing effort to accommodate customers. I may have had to find alternative parking in the past in my 20+ years in the area, but don't recall ever being dismissed quite so brusquely and unapologetically. Certainly not at Vigilucci's! But disabled beach parking is only $7 with no one to tip, so we did save a few dollars there.”
“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀”
“We were visiting Carlsbad for a couple weeks during the World Cup and a lot of spots bars we looked at had lines during the big matches or weren't kid friendly. Our friend suggested Hennessey's and we went 3 times in our trip. Atmosphere was lively but not over crowded. Service was fast and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised at the fresh juices that you don't normally find at a pub. Highly recommend for a great neighborhood pub and sports watching!”
“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.”
“The rolls we got were delectable...so yummy and quite large. In fact we had to take home our delicious bulgogy because we were too full from the rolls.
Very nicely decorated and comfortable seating at the bar.
The servers could bring our drinks a bit quicker, but they were very nice nonetheless.”
“We loved the great little touches here. Staff is very kind and friendly. The duck is amazing! Overall food is great, service is great, atmosphere is homey.”
“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.”
“Great place. Excellent wine. Very friendly staff. We joined the wine club a few months ago. We usually go there on Sunday afternoons for free tastings. Check it out!”
“Went here for dinner during family vacation. Always love the customer service. The wonderful manager told us about a great beach we had never visited before and it will be our new beach spot. Thank you for the great experience.”
“Great casual spot for an excellent sandwich and an excellent Belgian beer! It's a small, cozy place that has a good layout and balance between decor, TVs, seating, and open space. Perfect option for a laid back lunch or no-fuss happy hour. The guys behind the bar are welcoming, and the sandwich-meister is top notch!”
“Super chill but still casual Chinese food, the ladies were very kind and attentive to my family. Sesame triple delight, sizzling beef a la mandarin, chow mein with chicken, egg drop soup, and the Hong Kong bao were all phenomenal. They were taking take out orders and showing the same level of attention and care to those people as everyone sitting down. Fantastic experience”
“Best Thai Restaurant in the county. Delicious, awesome service great prices.”
“Best sushi since Iroha in Sherman oaks. Just way above the others in san diego”
“Hooked on sushi never fails us. Always great food. We love this place”
“This relaxing spot is perfect for enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Carlsbad with a great atmosphere. The garlic truffle fries, mahi-mahi/chicken tacos, and draft beers are absolute must-tries!”
“Food was so delicious especially the pasta! Great vibes and atmosphere especially if you can snag a table outdoors. I made a reservation and arrived on time for a party of 3 (with a toddler). Host mentioned table was not ready, but maybe in 10 minutes. Waited outside, and I went to inquire after 15 minutes. Host still said wasn’t ready but will try to engage the manager if the party doesn’t leave in 5 mins. After 20+ mins past rez time, we were finally seated. The manager mentioned there was going to be bread and dip coming out and apologized for the wait, which was appreciated. However, after getting the bill, we were charged for it. We asked & they were quick to remove it. Would love to visit again! Knocked off a star due to the wait time and needing ask.”
“The bar area is a nice casual place to sit but with full menu options!”
“We had an amazing dinner on the outside patio at sunset Our server was great with my son's allergies and the food was delicious. Our big group loved and enjoyed the experience and the food.”
“We had four people and everyone enjoyed their meals. The hotel had a welcome event for a conference close by and we were able to enjoy the live music from their event. It was a good night!”
“What else can I say?? I’ve been twice on Saturdays and it’s an amazing atmosphere all day long! Strong drinks, friendly staff, great music from the bands and DJs, and it’s PACKED outside and inside!”
“I didn't want to go but am glad I did. Perfect size for a day trip. Not too big you get lost, and you can get thru it in 1 day. Food options were not good around closing. They all close an hour before the park so don't wait. Lines were not bad. Very clean restrooms. Very clean!
I would definitely go again, but would plan better. We went spur of the moment, still a good time. Excellent for little ones.
Parking is pricey....”
“It suits any kind of gathering. The food was amazing. The Manhattan on the rocks-I love when they use the single large ice cube! There was nothing I didn’t like except as the place filled up we got a little warm but still enjoyed our full experience there.”
“Beyond impressed with my meal at seasons restaurant! Louie was attentive and anticipated our every need! He was great with our child and making sure she had everything we needed. And even brought her food out before ours so we didn’t have a hangry child! The food was divine and so fresh! The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. The best family spot for a nice dinner or special occasion.”
“My wife and I had the gorgonzola beef filled ravioli with sliced filet. The sauce was really good, it wasn't super heavy and so tasty.
We also got a ricotta stuffed crust pizza that was basically like a margherita pizza except the crust was stuffed with ricotta. It was really good too.”
“Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious! The appetizers and sushi rolls were flavorful, made with high-quality ingredients, and beautifully prepared! The service was friendly and the overall experience was excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi in the area!”
“Amazing food. Priced on the high side, but typical for the area and the quality of the food. Staff super kind and helpful. No table service, but it's easy to get everything you need. Good seats inside and outside.”
“Oh my goodness. I can't stop thinking about their chicken salad. Yes yes yes to the brown sugar walnuts and cranberry to the salad.
Great portion size for children and adults.
My family lives their take home boxes that say in crust we trust lol. Cute play on words”
“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.”
“Here, in this restaurant, you will find delicious food if it Is for breakfast or dinner and the price of each plate will vary depending on what you do order.If you are a member of IHG Rewards Club, then please charge everything to your room because that's the only way for you to accumulate hundreds of points so that you can get free nights, free merchandise or free airline tickets.”
“My husband and I recently visited Tower 39 on Friday night for some drinks and appetizers, and we had such a great experience! The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
Nami was especially wonderful! He checked in on us throughout the evening, was very helpful, and was great to communicate with. He really helped make our experience enjoyable.
We also had nothing but compliments for the food and drinks—they were both excellent! Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Tower 39 for a great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and excellent service!”
“The food is wonderful, plentiful and the service is excellent. The breadsticks and a side of marinara is a great start.”
“excellent service by David, great food and relaxed ambiance”
“Friendly people were kind and understanding when it came for me to pick something. it was hard just to pick one item. I left with a delicious sweet strawberry refresher with popping boba, and came back for a CROFFLE! which can be served with multiple toppings, but I chose strawberries and vanilla ice cream! ...Worth it!!”
“Muy rica la comida, la pasamos muy bien y la atención es muy buena.”
“First I want to mention our server, Savannah, was great even on her first night on the job. We ordered so much food along with refills on drinks and dips and Savannah provided wonderful service all around! Truthfully, I’ve never really had a bad experience at an Olive Garden and I’ve been going often enough since I’ve been alive. It’s a place that no matter where in the country I go, I love it for some reason even when other people don’t. I’ll never stop loving you, OG 💕🍝”
“Excellent excellent excellent margaritas... looking forward yo pomegranate margaritas.... excellent wait staff... world class customer service and facilities....”
“Great Carlsbad location. Something for everyone. Had their aoli artichoke and it was so yummy. Fast service great food.”
“So glad Legoland opened up, there were if rides closed, the lines were long but we love going because it's close. You can get wet, ride coasters and end your day with a slow magnet through the aquarium, and the burgers in Castle Hill are awesome!!!”
“Visited Pacific Point and had a lovely evening. The Wagyu beef skewers and the specialty rolls were definitely the highlights—highly recommend both! The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for cocktails or a glass of wine. Since it's located inside the Park Hyatt, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and the vibes made it worth it.”
“They have a great tradition where every time a train goes by you can order a beer at a discount, was $3 for a beer at the time I was there.
Very small bar but easy to get served
Worth going past for a beer”
“I shared a steak and cheese sandwich with my wife. It was really good. My son had a hot dog and ate most of it. Considering he just wanted to get back out into the park, I was surprised he ate that much.
Overall this was better than most food you get in a theme park. Way better than any of the food I had at a park north of this one.”
“Had a BLT and fries out by the pool. Server brought the meal to the wife and I while we lounged about at one of the hot tubs. Fun place! PS: You’ll need either a pool pass key or a room key to access The Cove Bar & Grill.”
“Great place, decent music, and Anita is the best bartender ever!!!”
“Ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. Sandwich was delicious and everything I could hope for in a Buffalo chicken sandwich . Spicy , saucy , tangy , nice roll … fries were good and crispy. Decently priced .”
“We stayed at the hotel as part of the Legoland vacations package. The hotel is right next to the park and because you stay there, you get early access to the park. Breakfast is included but still best to make reservations. We stayed in a Friends themed room with bunk beds for the girls. The girls had a great time and enjoyed meeting characters on site.”
“The management at this location is top notch. The food is craveable and the service is next level.”
“I had the pleasure of eating here as part of a work event March 23rd in the evening. Our party had 50 or 60 people in attendance and we were sat outside overlooking the golf course. The food was good but the real standout was the overall service we received from the staff. Because there were so many of us and this was a meet/greet event, people did not tend to stay in one place very long. The staff assigned to our table took orders and somehow still remembered who ordered what dish regardless of where they may have moved to at the tables. I was jaw-dropped at the level of attentiveness and accuracy. I have worked in food service in a previous career and fully appreciate this kind of work. I hope the resort pays them appropriately, especially MJ. She was such an MVP. Thank you for a great experience.”
“El personal es muy amable súper súper limpio 🧼 se esfuerzan por agradarte la comida no se diga súper deliciosa muy típica al estilo Oaxaca 💯 en lo personal lo recomiendo todo 🙏”
“Just happened upon this place (new in the area). Sopes were fantastic, as well as their Margaritas. Will return, for sure!!!”
“Honestly, 3 stars for quality, but GO HERE ANYWAY. Why? Because the cost for an adult is $30, and you were going to pay that anyway if you go to another eating location in Legoland. I checked the chicken place in Knights land, and the cost of a chicken sandwich combo and drink was $26. Here, it's all you can eat and drink, AND it's air-conditioned. This is the way.”
“Nice place. Had to wait for our drinks and food for a little while. We were also celebrating my son’s birthday and I thought they would do something special. Which the waitress just dropped off a cookie with whipped cream and took off No singing no wvwn saying happy birthday.”
“The food is scrumptious ok it's the real deal hahahah Texas style! Yee haa”

They also add avocado no extra charge. Carne Asada Taco only $3.50 each. What a deal!”

“One of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had, hands-down. The rice, beans, carnitas, and chilequiles were all insanely good - but the sleeper is the biscuits and gravy. A little spicy and a lot hearty, I didn't even need lunch the day we had breakfast here. It was really all delicious and so cute and fun.”
“DON'T LET THE BAD REVIEWS DISSUADE YOU! Our experience at Dragon's Den was beyond excellent - food, service, and atmosphere all included.
Is it pricey? Sure, but the food was absolutely delicious. The pork schnitzel with the greens and tomatoes was excellent, and the pureed potatoes were perfection. My husband commented that the Crown Jewel was one of the highest quality and best cooked steaks he's ever had. The kids smashed their cheeseburger and macaroni and cheese, and the french fries were actually super good.
To top it off, our attentive and kind waiter brought ice cream and sang happy birthday for our celebration! No 18% tip was added to the bill without us knowing, no one was rude, and nothing was bad. I will come back here no question when we return to Legoland - it was a highlight of the trip.”
“Great food and great service. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The spice level was just right, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Definitely one of the better hot chicken spots I’ve tried, and I’ll be coming back again.”
“Except for the long drive-through lines, it’s worth going. And I have to actually admit that the lines move pretty quickly.
I do think that they ought to put their napkins in a separate small bag, before dropping them in on top of the burgers. I can never use them by the time I get home because they’re covered with sauce and cheese!
But that’s just me!”

“The taste is different, not in a bad way. With so much chicken options it is a nice kick to the taste buds. The sauce options are an explosion. One of the 4 has your traditional chicken figure taste but still unique and not a copy. The other 3 are very unique and worth the try. Chicken can be eaten plain, like popcorn chicken from other places. Only negative is the hours of operation but I understand for the area. I ordered online and it was nothing difficult, able to use Apple pay.”
“Really nice design inside and spotless clean. Service is on point. Smoothies were great and tons of options. I don't leave reviews that often, in fact we stopped in the shopping center for ice-cream, but the place looked so inviting we decided on smoothies.
What a nice little business, I hope the word spreads around. I think the owner was there too, clearly takes pride in the establishment.”
“From the outside it doesnt seem big. But once you walk in its a spacious area. Outdoor patio, with benches and tables. Inside gave me a cigar, mens club vibe, with leather chairs, wood card table. But i loved it! They serve food which i dint try, but wished they advertised better.
The beer is good, not great. We had ipas amd a lager. They are easy to drink. And we had a glass of prosecco as a pallete cleanser ;) we had a lovely time and enjoyed watching the people amd families trickle in. Surprised to see some kids. But it was fine. Will be back”
“Hidden gem! Very fun and cute atmosphere. Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff, looks like fun breakfast options in addition to the lunch we had, which was very good.”
“This was my fourth visit and it’s always delicious!
I’m Peruvian, so I can be very particular about Peruvian food because it’s what I grew up eating. The first time I came, I ordered the ceviche clásico and yucca frita. By my second and third visit, I started trying different dishes because I was genuinely curious to see if everything on the menu was as good as what I had already experienced. Now, on my fourth visit, I can honestly say I haven’t had a single dish disappoint me.
The ceviche clásico will always be my favorite. It reminds me of the flavors I grew up with.
What keeps bringing me back, though, is that every visit I order something new, and every dish has been exceptional. The presentation is beautiful, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can tell every plate is prepared with care and respect for Peruvian cuisine.
It’s not easy to impress someone who grew up eating these flavors, but MANKA has done exactly that without having to drive to LA. If you’re looking for authentic Peruvian food with elevated execution and consistently outstanding quality, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I already know I’ll be back to continue working my way through the menu.
Passion Fruit Tiradito is the new item I tried this time (and other 4 bites but did not take a picture).”
“Food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor, but the chicken flautas deserve their own congressional holiday. Hands down the best I’ve ever had. I’m honestly a little annoyed because now every other flauta has been ruined for me. 10/10, would happily create this problem again.”
“Charming neighborhood wine bar with a limited, yet delicious bar menu. It has the ambiance of a small, vintage French cafe. It has a casual vibe and it appears the local residents really like it. Only a few tables, so don't expect to be seated between 4-7pm without a reservation. We had to book a few weeks in advance...and it was worth the wait.”
“I always make a stop here whenever I'm in Carlsbad! The coffee is excellent, and the sandwiches are always fresh and delicious.
The girls working there are amazing—so sweet, welcoming, and helpful every time I visit. They truly make you feel welcome.
The cafe is very clean, beautifully decorated, and has such a cute, relaxing atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee and unwind.
Highly recommend if you're in the area! ☕💕”
“This place is awesome! My daughter got the chocolate brownie and I made a custom ice cream with golden oreo cone, salted caramel ice cream, peanut butter inside the cone and peanuts butter cups + heath bar crunch as my topping. Delicious! The staff was super friendly and fast. Highly recommend!”
“Really enjoy coming here. I’ve been twice for breakfast and twice for dinner. Both dinner occasions were special occasions, I enjoyed eating inside more for dinner and outside more for breakfast. Dinner inside is a bit quieter and the ambiance is great. Outside was nice too but bees would fly by for breakfast and then for dinner there was a single fly trying to get our food.
Overall love it here, the service is great and food is delicious. I want to try lunch items, the breakfast portions are much bigger than the dinner portions. My favorite so far was the Scottish salmon which was a bigger portion than the Korean beef. And then their quiche, and avocado toast as well as their specialty cocktails.”
“Lovely Michelin star dining. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Thank you for making our 25th anniversary a memorable experience!”
