The server was very nice but the service was painfully slow. We came here on Thursday night, ordered food immediately but it took 1.5 hours to get our food. If the restaurant was packed, I think we could have understood the slow service, but the place was nearly empty. We saw maybe 4 other groups besides us and all but 1 group was there before we arrived. We ordered a salmon and a chicken dish. The salmon was under seasoned and the chicken was very salty. Wife had one glass of wine and the bill was $80. had the food come out in a reasonable amount of time, I feel like this would have been an improved experience. But it took forever with zero apologies or check ins to say "food will be right out" OR "sorry for the delay as the kitchen is backed up"... nothing. After waiting for so long and the disappointing quality of the meal, we both looked at one another and said "we should have just ordered food from ubereats" Definitely an overpriced hotel restaurant that lacks quality across the board. For the remainder of our trip, we opted to drive off hotel grounds to find better options. The inconvenience of driving offsite was minor in comparison to being price gouged and forced to endure excessive wait times. read more

We went here for thanksgiving dinner, with a set menu. The restaurant was very busy, but the waitstaff remained calm and helpful and didn't seem in a hurry. This restaurant is inside of a hotel, and is very modern and bright. It has a casual feel to it. I was told they do this every year while I was there, and I think I would go here again if I needed somewhere to go for the same holiday. It's a nice alternative to cooking at home. I haven had enough to take home and have thanksgiving leftovers the next day. read more

20|Twenty - Drink - New American Near Me - Carlsbad, California

1.Ambience was loud as $hit.. the loud guy at the bar obviously had too much to drink.. obnoxious comes to mind as they kept serving him...he gets louder. A Dog inside..was not a service animal..(that's a no go especially when you have outdoor seating available) 2. Staff seemed to be on it... well, few of them did. 3. I don't drink but did inquire about NA Beer, all they had to offer was Heineken Zero.... No thanks so I stuck with water 4. Appetizer: Ordered the lamb pops 18 min ago.... Still waiting. (Something told me to start my timer as the waiter/bartender was well, not to concerned as I was not at the bar but a high table) If it takes more than 30min to get my food, I will walk out... it's dead in here. I count maybe 20 people at 645-7pm on a Wednesday. It's been 25min and not one person has stopped to see if I need anything. Lamb Lollipops arrived at 28min mark... not too bad. Had obviously been sitting for a bit.. read more

We had breakfast here before heading to Legoland. Menu is focused for farm to table dishes - it was fresh and flavorful. The pancakes and Belgian waffle is definitely shareable. I had the Twenty Omelette and it was a simple omelette, the flavors were there and the potatoes were well cooked. It was a substantial plate for one person. All breakfast dishes were prepared nicely. Servers were welcoming & helpful. The Green Monster juice was delicious. Ambiance is beautiful specially with a nice day - it's a very well lit restaurant with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Perfect for breakfast brunch or lunch - when staying at the Westin. read more

During our two-day stay at the Westin, our group--two families with children--had breakfast at the hotel restaurant each morning. What could have been a routine hotel dining experience turned into something truly memorable. On Monday morning, the restaurant was extremely busy, with a long line at the entrance. We were a party of eight, and understandably expected a long wait. At the host stand were two gracious hosts and the floor manager, Liliya. From the first moment, their warmth and professionalism set the tone. When we mentioned that our children were very hungry, Liliya immediately took ownership of the situation. Calm, efficient, and genuinely attentive, she assured us that a table would be ready within five minutes--and remarkably, she made it happen. She personally cleared and prepared a table, and shortly after, we were seated. Understanding that breakfast orders might take time during such a rush, Liliya went a step further. She brought muffins and fresh fruit for the children without being asked--a small gesture that spoke volumes. This level of anticipation and care is the hallmark of truly first-class hospitality. It's the kind of thoughtful, human-centered service that distinguishes excellent hotels and restaurants from merely good ones. Our server, Sammar, was equally outstanding--gracious, attentive, and effortlessly kind. It felt like sheer luck to be in her care; she is the kind of server guests remember long after the meal ends. The breakfast itself was impeccable. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The waffles and pancakes were a particular hit with the children, who left the table delighted--a rare and telling achievement. What impressed us most, however, was the energy and heart Liliya brought to the room. She moved seamlessly between roles--clearing tables, delivering coffee, engaging warmly with guests, charming the children--all with a genuine smile that never faded. It was obvious that she loves her work and deeply cares about the people she serves. That sincerity cannot be trained; it's a rare quality. If I owned a restaurant or hospitality business, Liliya is exactly the kind of person I would want on my team. People like her create atmosphere, comfort, and loyalty. They are the reason guests return. Our sincere thanks to the entire hotel and restaurant team for such a wonderful experience. Places like this stay with you--not because of luxury alone, but because of the people who bring it to life. read more

The food is good but the staff is what makes this restaurant. Each time we come, we somehow get Henry and he is delightful. He always makes us feel like family and we would come back for his service alone!! Merry Christmas! read more

This is a great spot to enjoy a happy hour with some great food. For starters the appetizers the Herbed Mushrooms with white wine, fines herbs and sweet cream butter were delicious. The flavors were on point and appeased the taste buds. The main course was Rack of Lamb with parsnip puree, roasted cauliflower salad, with concord grape glaze was a great match. The Cardini Caesar Salad with country sourdough croutons, heirloom tomatoes and parmigiano reggiano was also delicious. The staff was friendly and will assist you with any questions. Parking is valet or the Westin lot. read more

I was down in San Diego for the weekend and wanted to get together with my cousins who live in Orange County. We decided to meet in the middle for brunch on Sunday morning and settled on 20/Twenty in Carlsbad. We started with the hummus crudite. As for my entree, I carefully examined the menu and thought about getting the lobster risotto, but it felt a little early in the day. Instead, I ordered the 20/Twenty Omelette. One of my cousins selected the Whole Hog Omelette and got pork sausage links on the side. He and I shared the Recharge Elixir. My other cousin ordered a croissant and the Pure Fruit, which she shared with me. The highlight was the food. Everything I tried was good; the only thing any of us didn't seem to like was the orange juice my cousin sent back. The lowlights were the service and the atmosphere. Four things stood out: 1) Our waters were refilled just once the entire time we were at the table. 2) When our waitress brought out the hummus crudite, she didn't bring small plates for us to use. After a few minutes, one of my cousins got up and went to ask for some. 3) When staff moved tables for other diners, the tables made an awful screeching sound as they scraped the ground. This happened multiple times. 4) I like live music, but the musician who was playing that day was not very good. I hope he is not there every week. He took outstanding songs and did not come close to doing them justice. Music is a nice addition to brunch, but only if it's played by someone who knows what they are doing. Weighing the pros and the cons, this was a three-star dining experience. read more

Amazing atmosphere and ambience. Good food. Had a great time. Good food and great staff.

This restaurant is located inside of the Westin Hotel close to Legoland. They must change their menu often because many food items listed on Yelp from just one month ago are no longer being served. Food was so-so. During our 2.5 dining experience two large parties left after reviewing the menu options/prices. PROS - relaxing ambiance with outdoor fire pit at night - full bar -free private parking lot. Valet is an option but we didn't need it due to the large amount of spaces available. - no wait to be seated CONS - long food times - overly priced -food was just okay Unfortunately there are just so many outstanding restaurants in Carlsbad and this one did not make the cut for me. I don't see myself coming back unless I am staying at the hotel for some reason. read more

Don't do Thanksgiving at this restaurant. I have wanted to do Thanksgiving here for several years. We got here at 5:03 and got seated about 5:07 and it is currently almost 7 PM and I still haven't gotten even my bread that is on the special menu. My kids finally got food, but we are still waiting for entrées. Worst service ever. Our waitress is super nice, but it's her second day after being trained and somehow the cooks are not pumping out the food they need to. Didn't they plan for a large number of people on Thanksgiving day? Terrible. We've only gotten our drinks so the bartender gets some points. read more

Is it just me or did other people feel scammed? The host walked us to our tables and handed us our menus. As soon as we sat, another server offered us water and coffee. Already a red flag here, the mug had lipstick stains on it, we had to ask for another mug. My wife and I both got coffees and we thought it was on the house given coffee and the price wasn't on the menu. As we were closing out, we gave our server the $15 restaurant credit (received as we checked in) and our bill had $6 x 2 = $12 coffee attached to it.. felt like if you give them the $15 credit, they'll charge you coffee, whereas if you don't, coffee is on the house.... Coffee was mid btw.. Food was good tho, credit to the chefs back there! Recommend that coffee $6 should be added to the menu, if not, servers communicate that coffee is $6... such a scam read more

Service is mediocre. Food is horrible at this price point. The ambience is pretty that's about it. We tried it for lunch and it took 30 minutes to get the food and it was cold when we got it. Never once did we get our water glasses refilled. My husband had to go get the water pitcher and fill them for us. My husbands salad with his steak was wilted like it was sitting under a heat lamp. I had crab cakes and they were like warm. It was just ok. Like I said for the price's it should have been better. Tried breakfast today and it was the worst 19$ avocado toast I have ever had. NO FLAVOR. Burnt toast on one side and no toast at all on the other just plain bread. It was awful the only flavor it had was from the burnt toast. The potatoes on my husbands egg Benedict plate were gross. Rubbery pre made gross. So expensive for the quality of food. Sorry to say this but I told my husband I would never eat there again! Sick! read more

My wife and I had 9:30 AM reservations at 20 Twenty and were promptly seated by the hostess. Unfortunately, that's where the service ended. For the entire 20 minutes we sat at our table, we were completely ignored by the wait staff. No server came to greet us, we received no water or coffee, and no one asked if we were ready to order. The table remained exactly as it was when we were first seated. After waiting patiently, we decided to leave and find somewhere that actually wanted our business. We ended up at Beach Plum Kitchen, where we immediately received excellent, attentive service. Having reservations should mean something. Basic hospitality - like acknowledging customers and providing water - shouldn't be optional. Very disappointed in what should have been a simple breakfast experience. Would not recommend based on this visit. read more

I dined here on April 30th in the evening with my dog (Golden Retriever named Kealoha) and a guest! Hands down this restaurant has such a beautiful space and such a wonderful staff! Allie (sorry if the spelling is wrong) and Fergie were absolute gems and made us feel so welcomed for our first visit there. We sat on the patio and it was not as bustling as I thought so it was so nice to enjoy the lit fireplace and ambiance of the restaurant. The menu is vegetarian friendly (for me) and both Allie and Fergie were so sweet to Kealoha. The food was delicious, drinks were amazing, and we even had dessert which was so good! That's coming from someone who does not have a sweet tooth for desserts. I loved my Riccotta Gnocchi dish and my guest had the Verlasso Salmon. He said it was one of the best salmon he's ever had! I look forward to coming back here, the service really made that place truly incredible! read more

Terrific meal here on a rainy day. Their patio is so big that you can be far away from the rain and wind and nice and cozy. The heaters work very well too. Food is expensive but was good overall. I enjoyed my cocktail, BLACK SMOKE, which is made with Mezcal, blackberries, and lime. And the catch of the day was solid. I enjoyed also the triple chocolate mousse cake, but the real dessert winner is the Keylime, which is vegan and made with avocado. Definitely a super place to dine outside on a rainy day and be dry, with tasty and creative food and friendly service. And they have complimentary valet parking for the restaurant. read more

I had Valentine's Day dinner here and I have to say it was amazing. The view, the ambiance and the customer service were perfect. Every dish that was brought out had a beautiful presentation. The menu was set for the occasion which was nice because I was able to try something new. The cocktails were the right amount of everything! The only thing I wasn't too fond of was dessert but that's a personal preference.. we ate most of it but I would have loved to be able to pick a tiramisu or a slice of cheesecake... either way this didn't ruin my evening because customer service was top notch. Our waitress was very sweet and every staff that saw us greeted us. Thank you for the memorable experience! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast, and we were able to make reservations the day of. They weren't need though. It was located in a hotel, so parking is a little walk but still near. We were seated at a four top, but there were only settings for 2 people. We had to ask a few times for more utensils. Food wise, the potatoes were cold and soggy. It seemed like they were just sitting in a heated container before they were served. The food came out pretty fast though. The smoked salmon toast did not have it listed that it had tomatoes in it. So we were unable to request for it to be on the side. read more

This restaurant was so hard to find! I asked several people on the resort and still got lost because one of them gave me the wrong directions. My friend arrived first and got seats out in the patio. It was such a nice day out! We shared the smoked salmon benedict, the steakhouse burger, and Baja striped bass aguachile. I also got a Recharge elixir that was so thick, healthy, and yummy. She opted for some kind of green juice. Our food took a really long time! It was over an hour before we got our first dish. The food was presented nicely though. My favorite was probably the aguachile- I liked the plantain chips it came with. The burger was okay and the salmon was a bit fishy to me. There was a bee that kept bothering us, so it was hard to concentrate on our food LOL. Service wasn't very attentive and extremely slow. Hopefully they can improve on bringing out the dishes a bit faster. read more

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times, and each visit continues to impress--especially thanks to the outstanding service from SUMMER my server. She was absolutely fantastic--pleasant, always had a smile on her face, and made sure to check in regularly to see how my meal was going and if I needed anything else. Her attention to detail and warm personality made the experience memorable. This time, I started my day with the chia pudding (pictured)--light, fresh, and perfectly balanced with berries and granola. I also had the frittata, which was delicious and satisfying. The quality of the food and the hospitality made this breakfast one to remember. I'm already looking forward to coming back. Great food, great service, and a staff that genuinely cares--thank you again, Summer! read more

Seating was great with an outdoor patio option, beautiful ambiance! read more

No burgers served at dinner. You will be seated outside if you have kids. Very expensive. Recommend adding another dollar sign to the description. Food was good. Drinks were ok. Service was friendly but not perfect. For non Westin guests, self parking is difficult, so expect a walk. Dinner kids menu is extremely limited. Entrees served with mashed potatoes and veggies. We ordered a salad course and a soup of the day. The Caesar I ordered was really good, but it came with tomatos, which I normally love on a Caesar, but they were not ripe... I did ask for anchovies to be added and those were stellar. Large and juicy, not too salty, but still very fishy. A great addition to a Caesar. Soup of the day was Chicken Pozole, and it was exceptional! Rich and tangy broth with cilantro and tomatillos. So glad we ordered it. Delish! Tag team style service means food runners dropped our food off and disappeared fast. Nobody came to quality check or ask if we needed anything else after food arrived. I had to flag down and ask explicitly for fresh cracked pepper, (which should be table stakes at a place this pricey) and the carrots and ranch served with the kids meal, didn't come with the ranch till we asked for it. Your mileage may vary read more

Never gave a review in my life.... We ordered food at around 7:30, food didn't come for like more than 50 minutes. Not bread, not appetizers nothing. There were barely any other tables around us. Wait time is absolutely atrocious !! Will never go again !! We were celebrating a birthday and just sat there for long long time....They said we kind of slow but there was no one, the place was nearly empty, barely came to check in on us too. read more

Bottomless mimosas! What a beautiful brunch spot, with a great view of the ocean and a really nice ambiance. The brunch menu had a big variety which I really liked, they had a lot of lunch items too. Food I thought was good, I really enjoyed the lox and bagel. It was very delicious, probably one of the best I've had. The pancake on the other hand was raw in the inside, which was disappointing. The pancake also had a very odd taste to it. My friend on the other hand was very disappointed with her omelette, there was absolutely no cheese. Service was fantastic! I would come back just for our waitress! She was constantly checking up on us and refilled our mimosas even after just a couple sips! She was great. For the price the food wasn't worth it but service was phenomenal. read more

For restaurant week menu: We came because they had a pretty good deal where you can get a good size steak. Other places charging $50 for chicken!! Lol. Came here with some friends. Cocktails: the worst and I mean the worst cocktails I've had. I got their whiskey sour, it looked very nice but it tasted gross. They didn't add any simple syrup or sugar, so it basically was whiskey and sour mix. My friend got on of their specialty drinks too, something with Smokey mezcal and again, no simple syrup, so it was just mezcal and something that tasted like tar, or ash water. Yuk. It's like they refuse to add sugar of any kind. A little would have fixed many problems. Food: we didn't expect much after drinks. But we were wrong. Their Caesar salad came with some white anchovies and it was a good big size. It was actually delicious. Very good! For entrees we got their 12oz New York. Man, it was delicious! The seasoning on it was perfection! I enjoyed every bite. For dessert we all got something different to compare: pear Creme brûlée, pineapple upside down, sorbet and the chocolate one. My favorite was the pineapple upside down cake! Then the sorbet. The least was the pear Creme brûlée because pear just didn't go well. I mean it was made well but pear... Service: our server was great. She was nice. My friend sent back her ashy water mezcal drink and got another one. It didn't taste any better the second time around. We also brought a bottle of wine, $25 corkage fee. The place was located in a hotel. There's a patio and it feels like date night! Good for RW. read more
