All in all a lovely experience at 20twenty. We stayed at the Westin Hotel and enjoyed an early convenient dinner on property here. All the staff were friendly, kind. Our server Tamara was a bit slow. Slow to greet us after we sat down, slow to check on us after our entrees arrived and slow to get us the bill. The food was phenomenal. Crab cakes--a must. Wedge salad-- everyone loved including a kid who doesn't really like soft cheeses. Wagyu burger-- pricey but worth it. Kiddo only had half until he was stuffed. Hubby and I shared the ribeye 16 oz . I'm not a huge meat eater. I probably had a quarter. The steak was crusted very well, cooked to perfection, flavored well. The mash potatoes it came with complemented the steak perfectly. Beautiful ambiance with gorgeous lighting, draping, floors made it feel elevated comfort. There is a beautiful patio as well. Beautiful sunset visible with all the lighting through the windows. Feedback: ask if your guests are celebrating anything special.

"Ooh, well, I've got a girl with a record machine When it comes to rockin' she's the queen But she lives on the 20th floor uptown The elevator's broken down" (Eddie Cochrane) 20|Twenty is the house restaurant at the Westin Carlsbad. You can enter it direct from the hotel lobby or via an exterior entrance close to the main hotel entrance. It features a large and beautiful dining room, stylish bar and ample seating outside to enjoy the outstanding Southern California weather. We had two breakfasts here. We ordered off the menu on day one and ate outside, and we ordered their Weekend buffet ($25) on day two and ate inside. Both breakfasts were made extra special by our wonderful server Digna. We were so lucky to enjoy her fun personality, engagement, and overall charm on both mornings. On Day One, I ordered something I had seen on menus for years, but never tried before. My Chilaquiles ($22) were" a savory bowl of Boraccho beans, queso fresco, avocado, eggs, red onion, bathed in a guajillo chile sauce". I thanked Digna who taught me how to pronounce it. I loved the taste- the sauce and the tortilla wedges, sliced avocado, and egg. What a feast. On Day Two I went with the buffet and went straight to the big pile of smoked salmon, red onion slices, chive cream cheese and mini bagels. The salmon was high quality thinly sliced, just the way we like it. The buffet also had everything you want in a buffet- hot dishes, pastries, yogurt, and fruit. The fruit was great-plenty of watermelon, assorted melons, and berries. I did find it odd that when I went to toast my bagel, I saw they only had one toaster with four slots. Unfortunately, the two left slots did not work, so restaurant patrons were lining up to toast their breads one at a time. I mentioned this to one of the staff, and his response was "Yeah, we know." Anyway, that indifferent reaction was more than counterbalanced by the fantastic food and Digna's 1,000-watt personality. And what's the origin of Digna's unique name? I asked her and she said her mother named her after a street in her home town.

We had a great bar experience and to-go dinner here. We were staying at the Hotel Solea next door and decided to call in an order to go for dinner and hangout at the bar while we waited. Overall, the drinks and the food were good! When we headed in, we just let them know we were there for a pick up and to sit at the bar while we waited. From the time we called it in from when the food arrived at the bar, it was about 30ish min. After sitting at the bar, it took quite a while to be acknowledged. There were 2 other customers at the bar and the bartender who was there was really only tending to them and drinks made from other tables, she looked at us but that's about it. Eventually another person came over and let us know they would be with us soon. He seemed like he may have been a little newer (or not in the bar part too often), but he was super nice and our drinks came out great! He was a joy! Once the food was ready, we closed everything out and headed back to our room. For food we got the brick chicken, the mac and cheese, and the artichoke hearts. The chicken was pretty good, I'm always worried roast chicken will be greasy but this wasn't too bad. The mac was the highlight for me, and the artichokes were pretty tasty. Overall the food and drinks were good, service at first was a little lacking, but they got it together in the end.

Great old fashioned
Isabel Y.

Felix makes an incredible Old Fashioned. It's clear he's got a specialty here because the bar was packed with people waiting specifically for his cocktails. The presentation alone shows the care that goes into it: fresh mint, house-made garnishes, and a perfect big ice cube keeping the drink cold without watering it down. If you're at the Westin Carlsbad, find Felix behind the bar and order his Old Fashioned. Worth the wait!

My friends and I came here for Sunday brunch. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and we were seated in a quiet private area. We were a little disappointed that the lunch menu was not offered on a Sunday, so we settled for brunch. I ordered an omelette with poblano, mushroom, and spinach. The order came with a side of roasted potatoes and toast. I was pleased with my dish. The food quality was very good, but service was extremely slow. It took our server over 30 minutes to finally take our orders. We were a party of 8, which wasn't too big. Food for everyone came out at a decent time; however, they must've forgotten my dish because I had to wait a good 10 minutes while my friends already received their food. The server never refilled our water cups and it took forever for him to bring our check.

Great and fast service every time we've been in. The servers are professional and friendly, and the bartenders are genuinely fun to chat with. The menu has a lot to choose from, and everything we've ordered has been tasty and cooked just right. Highly recommend!

TLDR: clean, casual spot conveniently located inside the Westin Carlsbad, decent service, indoor/outdoor seating. Dinner and most breakfast items are average and overpriced, but the build-your-own omelette is surprisingly good and worth ordering. We stayed at the Westin and found this restaurant right downstairs, which was super convenient, especially since we had breakfast vouchers from the hotel ($22 per person). The space is clean, airy, and has a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were friendly, though service varied depending on who you got. We stopped by for some light bites one evening and ordered fries, crab cakes, and drinks. Fries were very average, 2/5, and crab cakes were big, just not memorable. Drinks were fine, nothing stood out. For breakfast, day one was a bit disappointing. I had the All-American breakfast, which came with eggs, meat, roasted potatoes, and toast, small portions, and pricey for what you get (2.5/5). My husband's waffle was nearly $20 and just okay, though the jam and granola with yogurt were nice touches. Day two, we both ordered the build-your-own omelette, and that turned things around; it was fresh, flavorful, and much more satisfying. If you eat here, skip the basics and go straight for the omelette.

We opted for the outdoor seating area which offers a nice nearby-ocean breeze compare to the strong AC blasting indoor. Service was slow for breakfast but it could be just our table as I saw others were served much faster than us. Our son's cereal and milk which I wouldn't think need much time to prepare were served after we had already gotten our food. For our food, we got the following: Portobello egg Benedict (4/5)- love that they have this option available for those who do not want English muffins/bread. The eggs were made to perfection and we really liked the flavor earthy of the mushroom and nice balance from the spinach. They could use a bit less oil though... the dish comes with roasted potato which wasn't bad but nothing to rave about. Lox & Bagel (1.5/5) - highly disappointed when the bagel came out. It was nicely assembled but that was it. It was served on a huge plate with just half a bagel and salmon (lox) and fixing on top. Nothing else. We appreciate the generous portion of the lọx but the bagel itself was terrible - my husband called it "hard as a rock" when he took his first bite. We had a hard time cutting it into smaller pieces to eat. It was barely toasted and the bread itself looks like it's undercooked and is extremely dense. I wish they serve it with some veggies on the side, for the meal balance and also the presentation. For our morning elixirs, my husband got the Green Monster (4/5) and I got the Kale-ifornia (5/5) Both are great drinks to start our day. I love my Kale-ifornia, earthy, clean and ends with a kick at the end with the gingery note after each sip. It has a juice consistency, while the Green Monster is more of a smoothie. Unfortunately Green Monster came out warm so that kind of killed the vibe and the taste. It would be 5/5 if it was cold. Also keep in mind they only offer coffee when we were there for breakfast, no latte or cappuccino. We had breakfast at 7 Mile kitchen next door the day before and they did offer other coffee drinks so it was another disappointment with 20|Twenty.

Pillow talk
Kelly K.

We were staying across the parking lot at another hotel, but went each night for a nightcap. Kristina made the best drinks I have ever had, an espresso martini & a drink she created herself that she called "Pillow talk". Would definitely go back anytime we are in San Diego

It's a great place to go with friends, order a bunch of appetizers to share, and try different things on the menu rather than just sticking to one entree. The broccoli is fantastic and definitely something I'd recommend ordering. Their drinks are also really creative and fun, which makes the whole experience feel a little more special than your average dinner out. The atmosphere and style of the restaurant are a big part of the appeal, too. It's got a really cool outdoorsy and fun vibe that makes it a great spot for a date night or dinner with friends. The s'mores are also a fun way to end the meal! Getting to roast them yourself is fun, too. While it's on the pricier side, I think Campfire is an experience that is worth it. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and fun little touches, it's a great spot to check out if you're in the area!

While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, we sat at the bar and looked through menu... their bar selection is impressive AND the bartender has all the ingredients to make my favorite cocktail- Paper Plane - I use Angel's Envy. There were 6 of us and everyone ordered different kind of steak, which they have a decent list of steaks. I ordered Denver Steak, medium, and it was delicious as every bite just melted in my mouth! We ordered almost all the sides to share with everyone, and there wasn't anything we didn't like. One thing that was so much fun was when the server brought a board of knifes for us to pick! - I was able to get a picture while my husband picking out his knife. So much fun and perfect opportunity for an ice breaker if needed. For dessert, we were totally filled and wouldn't able to eat anything more! Highly recommend this place for any event, and they have patio seating which would be awesome to be during sunset!

An Absolutely Incredible Dining Experience at Steak 48! We…read moredined at Steak 48 last night to celebrate my partner's birthday, and WOW -- we were blown away! From start to finish, this was a 10/10 experience, and every bite exceeded our expectations. We started with the Chicken Fried Lobster Tail and Torched Scallops topped with caviar, and both were phenomenal! For our main course, we shared the 22oz bone-in ribeye cooked to a perfect medium. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! The sides were just as incredible: Shells N Cheese, Blistered Shishito Peppers, and Boursin Whipped Mash. We honestly couldn't pick a favorite! A detail we loved was the heated plates that kept our food warm throughout the meal. It's the little touches that make a difference! A huge shoutout to our server, Ean, who made the evening extra special! He was attentive, energetic, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. As a foodie, I LOVE when a server makes thoughtful recommendations and shares their enthusiasm for the food. Ean delivered on every level! His assistant, Raul, was equally awesome and helped make the service exceptional. We felt so well taken care of by the entire team! To top it all off, we were gifted a complimentary Vanilla Caramel Cake for dessert! It was decadent and delicious, reminiscent of butter cake but just a tad sweeter. Served warm with vanilla ice cream, it was absolutely heavenly! The warm cake and cold, creamy ice cream were the perfect combination and such a thoughtful birthday surprise. Steak 48 exceeded every expectation. Amazing food, impeccable service, and an elevated atmosphere made this the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. 10/10 across the board! If you're looking for an unforgettable steakhouse experience, Steak 48 is a must. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

This is an aggregate review of three separate dining experiences (one was a work dinner, one was a…read morevendor dinner, and one I actually spent money on). The service was excellent, as befits a $$$$ restaurant. The ambiance was elegant. The toilets were heated (amazing. I guess this is how the wealthy live) Must Order: - Bone-in ribeye: Beautifully marbled piece of beef with a nice sear. I usually order medium & it arrived just a touch under (which is fine, this is what I expect every time I order medium) - Sauteed sweet corn: Hint of caramelized flavor. My only complaint is that there needed to be twice as much of it. - Creamed spinach and artichoke: The brightness of the greens shines just enough to make you think this counts as one of your servings of vegetables for the day. - Boursin cheese whipped potatoes: Creamy herbed potatoes. Better than any mashed potato I have ever made, which means there is probably more cheese and butter and calories than I would ever put in my homemade potatoes. Thank goodness this restaurant doesn't post nutrition facts next to the dish. - Shells and cheese: Grown up Mac and cheese for a more discerning palate. Don't order: - Steakhouse meatballs: Nothing special about the flavor - Chicken fried lobster tails: If anything chicken fried or lobster tastes great, then why not BOTH? Well, the combination wasn't that much better than a regularly priced lobster tail (or a chicken fried steak) so it was an overrated dish that I wouldn't order again on my own. - As a side note, I added burrata for $10 as an "enhancement" to my bone-in rib eye. I debated adding the crab cake but I wanted to preserve the flavor of the steak as being the focal point of the entree. Well, the steak was certainly the focal point. The burrata was an insult. The tiniest but of burrata with absolutely ZERO flavor. -1 star & I feel like I was owed $10 for allowing that to be part of my ribeye dish

7/10 overall. Rare Society was good, but for me it's not in the same league as Steak 48…read more Very cool ambiance, room temperature was a little warm, service was wonderful The bread was 10/10 and an awesome start. Artichoke 8/10, onion rings 9/10, and wedge salad 9/10. We ordered the Executive Steak Platter, which was probably the biggest disappointment. 7/10 -- the steaks were under-seasoned and significantly underdone from what we ordered. Not bad, but I expected more. The au gratin potatoes were 11/10 and easily the best thing we ate. Absolutely fantastic. The broccolini, on the other hand, was 2/10 and way too vinegary for us. Desserts were mixed. Cheesecake was 7/10. Butter cake was 4/10 and had a strange taste we didn't care for. Cocktails were excellent overall, 9/10. The Rare Old Fashioned was 10/10 and the best drink of the night, Lady Luck 9/10, and espresso martini 8/10. Cool spot with some legitimately great dishes and drinks, but the inconsistency--especially with the steak--keeps it from being a top-tier steakhouse experience for me.

I put in my whole order at once. I got a drink 30min later. From sitting to my food arriving it took 2 hours. My server checked on us once toward the end of the meal. (Yes I still tipped 20%) The Ceasar- a lot of Parmesan which I'm not complaining. Homemade croutons. Heavy on the dressing which is good, but if you don't like soggy lettuce beware. 6.5/10 The Steak- I ordered the $70 NY strip Medium. 2 hours later I was served my food. Y'all it was dry! And very bland/not seasoned. Like I couldn't even taste any salt! (And I am not hard to please). It came out on the medium well side. Woof it was a let down. 6/10 (it's edible?) Au gratin- I mean.. it was potatoes? It was a little burnt on the top, couldn't really taste the truffle, but potatoes are always welcome in my book (7/10) Overall- I really tried to give it an honest second chance. But for mediocre food and slow service I just can't understand the hype. For ambiance I'd go to Steak 48. For a darn good steak I'd go to Cowboy Star over here..

For main we went fairly light with cappellacci di mango and a side of meatballs. Both were really good and hit the spot. Lastly we wrapped up with classic Tiramisu which was a nice way to finish the meal. So many places the tiramisu has bad texture or is really just all cake or mascarpone. Balance was good and right how we like it. We come here periodically because the food and service are good and as I said previously always consistent. Been to many similar priced places where food is very spotty and generally not worth the money.

Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.
