We were blown away by an epic seafood dinner here at 333 Pacific! They were able to seat us right away without a reservation on a holiday weekend by letting us sit in the first-come-first-serve tables up front. Our server Jordan took great care of us all night, from cocktails to appetizers to the main course. Their happy hour was awesome, $10 per plate for a delightful lobster bisque, giant caesar salad, and steamed mussels. Then the main was absolutely incredible: we shared the Colossal Seafood Tower and they were NOT joking about the "colossal" part of that! We could not believe the portion sizes. A giant mason jar of delicious tuna tartar, a big bowl of shrimp ceviche, a dozen plump meaty oysters, tons of jumbo shrimp, a full dungeness crab cluster, and on and on and on. Amazing. The only thing we didn't totally love on the tower was the lobster, it was good but a little tough. (It could just be that I'm from the Northeast though so I get picky with my lobster lol) I have to mention though how amazing the bread course was. They could have just put out simple bread and butter and we would have been happy, but they went way over the top with these beautiful freshly-baked rosemary buns and three different kinds of soft whipped butter. Super delicious. Yes it was a little expensive... by the time it was all said and done, about $350 for three of us with tax and tip. But for being able to eat seafood a stone's throw from Oceanside beach, with great service, top quality, and huge portion size, well, you get what you pay for sometimes. No complaints. :) Thanks to Jordan and 333 for a great meal! We'll be back. :) read more

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is impeccable. The service is amazing and the ambience well who doesn't like being next to the beach everything was perfect for my birthday lunch.. my husband and I shared oysters and a half shell and I love that they great the horseradish instead of giving you horseradish that is jarred. The chard octopus was delicious and goes very well with the andouille sausage and if you're looking for some amazing savory grits look no further probably the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. Our server was perfect. She never made us wait for refills and was extremely knowledgeable about everything that we ordered. read more

We went to the 333 for our anniversary. It was disappointing. Other than a "happy anniversary ", nothing else was done for our special occasion. I didn't really expect much, but for these prices, a scoop of ice cream to share would have been nice. The drinks were not great. My husband drank my marg because it would have just been wasted. The wedge salad was awesome! I got the Ciopini. Very heavy tomato forward base. I wouldn't call it a soup because it was not possible to eat it like that. Great for dipping the bread. The crab legs on top were the best part. I don't mind paying for a nice dinner, but $200+ did not match the meal we received. Moving on read more

Well, up until two years ago we always had our Christmas Eve dinner at 333. At that time, the service began to falter and the food was not great. We had the worst night ever for the highest prices on 12/24/2023 and decided to never go again. Two years later, a friend came into town and wanted to go there so we begrudgingly went. We are so glad!!! Whatever has happened with management and the Chef has turned this place into a mecca for dining. The service was impeccable from the hostess to the food server to the bus support to the food delivery. Every person had a smile and was ready to ensure our evening when without a hitch. The bartender team was unbelievable: offering whatever they could to make sure we had the drinks we wanted. The bartender's suggestion for chardonnay was perfect. The food? Unreal. My friend and I had the salmon and another had the waygu beef burger. Each item was so delectable and expertly plated, I was truly in awe. The first thing I said was, "I gotta get home so I can update my review." Thank you, 333! You turned this group around in their opinion and I do believe we will see you on Christmas Eve to reignite a long-standing tradition in our family. Kudos to all!!! read more

We need had an amazing experience at 333 Pacific. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, the staff is warm and attentive, and the food was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Everything about our experience was outstanding! We made reservations for our anniversary (we did not pay the extra fee for the special touches such as the rose petals) however everyone wished us a happy anniversary. Our server Alania (I'm sure I destroyed the spelling) was such a joy! She was a highlight of our experience. My favorite thing about 333 Pacific was the alcohol free drink section. I felt so excited to have my Melon Mojito mocktail, it was so delicious! I ordered the watermelon burrata salad (wow!) and the seared scallops (the corn risotto was the star of my meal) it was all amazing! My husband had the cowboy ribeye and he really enjoyed it. The little touches on the dishes were not overlooked, like the pistachio brittle on the salad or the jalapeños in the corn risotto. We sat just as the sun was setting and it was a beautiful view. We look forward to returning! read more

Wonderful food & fabulous service. It was suggested by our server to split the baby iceberg wedge salad & she was correct. Splitting the salad is still a nice size side salad. The seared Maine scallops were cooked perfectly. The New York strip steak was cooked perfectly and also a huge portion. Black salmon with gnocchi was also very good. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was a perfect ending to our meal and not too sweet. Great dining experience we hope to be back soon. read more

I have been coming to 333 Pacific for what feels like my whole adult life. It's been for an Anniversary, meet up for a drink and then walk the pier, business dinner - all the things. Dress code is business casual. There are a lot of special occasions here so I would recommend you be respectful of that and not ruin someone's special day by dressing down. It's fancy but not stuck up. This last time I made a resi for a table of 12 for work a few months ahead of time. I had to call because the website doesn't accommodate a reservation of that size. They were nice and I got a text confirmation the same day which out me at ease. The day of the reservation we had an extra person join us and the staff accommodated by squeezing us in to the corner booth. It got a little warm but it was great. The service was grand all around. Everyone's order was perfect and drinks were quick and delish. The bread is like a rye but served with a maple butter - very unique. Bathrooms here are really nice. I love the free underground parking especially on a hot day. I have tried everything on the menu except the oysters. The only thing that's not amazing is the artichoke - really hard to share too. Everything else is incredibly delish and portions are generous. This time we had Brussel sprouts, Mac n cheese, calamari, lobster bisque, wedge salads and then 13 entrees of course. Short rib is divine, can't go wrong with the filet trio, blackened salmon is great. I feel like this is just a solid go-to place that you know will get it right if you make a reservation. read more

333 Pacific was so good. We came here because it was near our hotel and it definitely did not disappoint. We ordered the steak and sea for 2 (ribeye, lobster tails, roasted garlic and herb potatoes, onions, and mushrooms), caesar salad, chipotle glazed pork belly, charred octopus, o-side cioppino, and herb grilled artichoke. My favorite was the pork belly and octopus. The ribeye and lobster tails were so good too. Everything was seasoned so well and I loved the plating of all of the dishes. The servers were very friendly and was very attentive to the things we needed. Loved this restaurant and definitely will be back when I come back to Oceanside!! read more

Food was executed well but this restaurant doesn't stand out. Decor was very outdated and doesn't complement the incredible views you get of the pier and ocean. The architecture also blocks most of the views if you are sitting inside. To get the views you need to sit on the covered patio. When you first walk in it feels more like a sports bar than a fancy restaurant. The place really needs a refresh. The food was good and the menu decent, I just wasn't wowed. We started with the chili calamari which was good but I'd prefer the sauce on the side as it is very mayo heavy. The bread was good but the flavored butter wasn't. For dinner we had the filet trio that was cooked perfectly. As a side we ordered the corn and pepper risotto which was more pepper flavor than corn so I was a little disappointed. By far the star of the meal was the butter cake for dessert- that was phenomenal and a must get. Overall the food was a 3.5-4 the ambiance a 2.5-3. It's good not great and if you are lucky you'll get a seat with a decent view. That restaurant should be all windows and the decor needs to feel lighter, it was so hotel decor circa 1990. Service was great. They have a nice happy hour menu and crowd and I'd recommend coming for that. You will get a good meal here but not necessarily a "wow" experience- which I was expecting at this price point. read more

What a perfect place for an anniversary dinner. 333 Pacific had extras you can add to your celebration with champagne and rose petals. We opted for the surf and turf platter which was impressively large. The steak was cooked perfect and the lobster tails were delicious! We subbed out the potatoes for smashed potatoes which were delicious! Can I also say their complimentary bread is the best bread I've ever had at a restaurant! It came out steaming hot and the herb maple butter was such a great pairing. We also had the crudo special and it was done with such unique flavor combos. Apples, kiwi, mushrooms with some tajin. James, our server was fantastic in recommending various dishes and he was attentive during our whole meal at all the right times. The ambience is great, lighting was perfect, and each booth our table felt very private while we enjoyed dinner. We would definitely come back here and get the surf and turf platter again! read more

The food and service were amazing. Our server's name was Cassie and she was just delightful. The issue was the ambiance, there was a sports game on and the people in the bar made the restaurant sound like a sports bar. read more

I'll start with the positives: The location is wonderful. The place settings were nice and top notch for fine dining. Our service was great! We went with a group of 6 adults and only one of the six thoroughly enjoyed their meal (they ordered the scallops). The rest of the group got different cuts of steak and none of us were overly impressed. I myself got the NY Strip, Oscar Style, so my steak alone was over $80... it was not worth that at all to me. The steak and the Oscar topping lacked flavor and tenderness. The other steaks ordered also lacked a lot of flavor. One of our group folks got the short rib Mac & cheese and it was actually pretty tasty. The highlight of the evening was the complimentary birthday dessert - it was delicious!! Overall, it was a mediocre dinner but wonderful service and atmosphere. We likely won't be back simply because of the $400 tab that didn't seem worth it to the group. read more

We came here for wife's birthday dinner celebration. Was debating between Steak & Seafood for 2 or the Chef's Boards, we looked around our neighbors' tables and the Chef's boards looked very appetizing so we went for the Pacific board. We also ordered the charred octopus which is absolutely delicious, it is so tender and well seasoned, with bits of andouille sausage makes it even better. The chipotle glazed pork belly is very nice as well. The iceberg lettuce is huge portion, but the blue cheese dressing is kind of lite tasting wish it has more bit to it. On to the meats, my favorite was the fillets, sooo tender. Usually, I am a ribeye guy all the way but the fillet is better than the ribeye, my least favorite is the pork chop, nicely cooked but tough next to those two beef. The chimichurri sauce is nice accompaniment to the meats. Our waitress was very nice and prepared nice birthday cupcake for my wife. It was a wonderful dinner, the only drawback is the food came a little bit slow. read more

We always celebrate our anniversary or birthdays at this restaurant and absolutely love the food, the service, everything! But last Sunday, we went there to celebrate our anniversary and mentioned the occasion, not only in our reservation made online, but to the people who seated us. The nice woman who seated us told us she would make a note of it on our reservation. Usually, they offer a small dessert to help celebrate, but nothing was offered. Not only that, the two tables who were seated long after us were waited on first and we were waited on third. We received our food later than they did. None of it made sense. Don't get me wrong. The food was absolutely delicious, the servers were very kind, but sadly, it wasn't the same special experience we've had in the past. FOOD: I can highly recommend the 333 meatloaf, 333 greens salad, the incredible rolls they serve with maple butter, the grilled mushrooms which were spectacular, and the s'mores dessert, which was mind blowingly good. read more

We tried this place for the first time last week. The hostess needs to work on her customer service skills. First impression comes from the hostess. Is she inviting or in the wrong position. I liked the atmosphere. The bartender was very friendly and engaging. He helped us make decisions about the menu since it was our first time. We chose the lobster bisque, Caesar salad and the fillet trio. The lobster bisque was delicious. It was however on the like ward side. The salad greens were wilted. The fillet trio was fantastic. The meat was very flavorful. I had the house Chardonnay. It was nice. My husband had a martini which was equally good. The check had 5% additional fee to offset high costs. We didn't notice the disclosure on the menu but I am sure it was just overlooked because a disclosure is required. My husband and I are not fond of these types of charges. Our bill was $159.00 for two people not including tip. Upon our exit, my husband wished the hostess a good evening and said thank you. She could barely eek out a smile. We decided we might give this place another try. Minus one star for cranky hostesses and one for the surcharge. read more

I celebrated my birthday here last Sunday. I have to say, the weather was perfect, the service was great, and food was delicious. It wasn't very busy when we got there but more guests showed up as we were near the end of our early dinner. Now for the food. We shared the calamari and octopus appetizers and both were excellent! I ordered the blackened salmon. Someone else in our party had the filet trio and another the New York Strip. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food. I was even surprised with a delicious dessert for my bday! We all finished off dinner with a cappuccino and that was very good as well. I, unfortunately did not take any photos as we were all so busy eating and enjoying our food. I can't wait to come out and try their lunch menu. The shrimp and grits sound amazing! read more

Monday night dinner at @333pacific in Oceanside, CA. Located at the corner of the Club Wyndham Oceanside Pier Resort, 333 Pacific boasts a delicious menu of some of the most mouthwatering appetizers, entrees, desserts, and spirits! They've got a great selection of "Nibbles" during happy hour. Some of my favorites pictured here are: Charred Brussels Sprouts, Lobster Bisque, Classic Caesar Salad and the Crispy Sweet Chili Calamari. All of these were $9/ea. These appetizers were fairly substantial sized portions and very filling. At $36 for the 4 appetizers (and I took most of the Brussels Sprouts and half the Calamari home), this is one of the most inexpensive meals one can have with a great view of the ocean just outside the doors! Additional "Nibbles" on their Happy Hour menu include 2 Bloody Mary Oyster Shooters, Shrimp Ceviche (DELICIOUS. Highly recommend), and the Herbed Frites. Service here is IMPECCABLE. The decor is elegant without being too "bougie." If you're staying at the Wyndham Oceanside Pier, ask about the free dessert.

Came in as a six top for my sister's graduation. Ambiance was well lit and the restaurant felt spacious with a large bar not feeling cramped. Food was amazing. We shared oysters and had enough surf and turf to leave well fed. Server was awesome and attentive. Checked in at the right times, and the person I assumed was the GM did a last minute touch to see how everything was. They even brought out a "Congratulations" bread pudding for my sister with the word written in chocolate! Definitely recommend for anyone celebrating in Oceanside. read more

We trid to dine 333 Pacific last year but there were no tables, so tired again last weekend without the reservation, we were lucky to get a able this time. The food was great! Lobster Bisque ($16.95) was great. Maple Glazed Pork Belly ($19.5) was amazing, must order this one. It's so tender and tasty with whipped mascarpone, pepadew jam and pickled mustard seed. Half Dozen Oysters ($20.95) was very fresh. O-side Cioppino ($39.95) was great. The Pacific Steakboard ($164.95) was excellent, it has trip of chef curated cuts and accompaniments of the day, highly recommended. The service was excellent and professional! We came around 6:30pm, it's amost dark outside, if you come around sunset hours, you will see a beautiful coast line with gorgeous sunset from there. read more

recently dined here alone, hoping to enjoy a relaxing evening and a good meal, but unfortunately the service completely ruined the experience. When I arrived, I waited about 15 minutes to be seated. I didn't mind at first because I assumed they were busy, but I noticed the group ahead of me had been waiting even longer and eventually left. That should have been the first sign. Once seated, I was served by a blonde waitress who was very attentive, chatty, and engaging with the table next to me--offering drink refills, desserts, and making sure they were taken care of. Meanwhile, because I was dining alone, I felt completely overlooked. She made minimal conversation with me, never checked in properly, never refilled my water, and never once offered dessert. A busboy had to refill my water instead. When I asked for a to-go box, she said she would bring one. Ten minutes passed and she never did. Once again, the busboy had to step in and help. I came in looking forward to a nice evening by myself, but instead I left feeling ignored and unwelcome. Solo diners deserve the same level of respect and service as everyone else. I was actually planning to come back for my birthday next week, but after this experience, absolutely not. If you're dining alone, be aware that you may not receive the same treatment as other guests here. read more

The Cohn group really doesn't disappoint. This restaurant sits right across from the pier with gorgeous ocean views and a cozy interior. Seating is available outside and in, with tables and booths and a ton of comfortable bar seating as well. We went for lunch. There are a variety of specials, including a delicious shrimp & grits. I ordered a salad and the server offered to split it for us. The split portion was very generous in size and - if you like a Wedge, this one is so cronchy with ice cold lettuce and the perfect amount of dressing, bacon and !onion strings! There is bread service with a warm rosemary roll and maple butter. It was hard to not just shove the whole thing into my face. So delicious. Our server - I can't recall her name but she is from close to SLO and we had a nice conversation about the mid-coast - she was absolutely perfect. If you want to go for a special lunch or dinner in O-side, head to 333. read more

Nice place on the beach. I've been here a few times. The food is sometimes great, and sometimes just ok. The service is sometimes great and sometimes not. On this particular visit, we sat at the bar and while the bar staff were friendly and chatty, the food orders came out disappointingly slow. The kitchen was closing at 9pm and while we were seated at 8pm, we were told that there was plenty of time to order anything we wanted. We started off with the Ahi Tuna Tartar and the Mussels. Both dishes were fine, but it took quite a while to get the food. We also ordered a Filet medium-rare. Thirty minutes went by and still nothing. The kitchen was closing in just 15 minutes when finally, the steak came out, medium-well and cold. It had been sitting in the kitchen for a long time waiting to be picked up before someone realized it wasn't getting to a table. The bar staff offered to have a new one made but it was almost 9pm, so we passed. They took the Filet off the bill but it was a disappointing evening. I had to go somewhere else to finish my dinner. I want to like this place but it's so hit-and-miss. I will give them another visit the next time I'm in town and hopefully things will be better. read more

We have been hearing about this restaurant for years and finally decide to try it as the kids are old enough to appreciate the food/ambiance. The ambiance was amazing as we sat outside just in time to see the sun setting. The service was great and they constantly came by to see how we were doing. We had ordered the cowboy ribeye, filet trios, and the short rib dish. All were so so except the short rib dish which was tasty. We had also ordered the Brussels sprouts side which was amazing. The Risotto was quite tasty as well. As for deserts, the dish had the butter cake and the pie which were both ok. read more

Service was great! Location at sunset is a must. Food was outstanding really enjoyed the Brussel Sprouts!

We've been coming to this restaurant for many years, but yesterday was a bit of a let down. We were there around 4pm on a Tuesday, so not very busy, but our service was terrible. Our waitress Candace was very slow, we had to flag her down for drinks which then took extremely long to receive, and then we had to flag her down again for food. Then after waiting 30 minutes for one entree we nicely asked her if our food was ready yet. The look of surprise on her face showed she had completely forgot about us and brought our food right out. We then had to flag her down again to get our check at which point she rolled her eyes and said she would come back with. Several minutes later we finally got our check and the had to wait yet again to sign for it. The people at our end of our table, noticed the bad service we received and actually requested another waitress who helped the people to the right of us as well and was excellent. First disappointing experience at a Cohn restaurant. read more

Pros: Walked in and got instantly greeted and sat right away. It was Wednesday evening so it wasn't busy whatsoever. Our table was spacious and intimate. We couldn't hear the table across or next to us so it was nice. Cons: being in the service industry for many many years I tend to be very lenient and understanding when it comes to service. I make notice of restaurant flow, how busy it is, how big the servers sections might be along with how busy it is. I never expect anyone to be me or do how I would. This being said, service was quite slow and no personality. Our server basically brought drinks, which took a while, took order, Stopped by once and dropped off the check. Very robotic. When coming to the upscale restaurant and being ready to spend a couple hundred dollars I expect better service, more personable and much better food. We got lobster, ribeye and the sides it came with. No flavor at all. The mashed potatoes tasted, looked and felt like they were at least a day old. We were so hungry because we were anticipating our date all day so we didn't make a fuss and just wanted to be on our way. The server came by once before we could really get into our food to ask how it was. We said fine because we hadn't really eaten it yet. He didn't walked by again so we could say anything more. It was such a disappointment all around. I felt like none of the money spent was worth it. I'm not one to write negative reviews but rather enjoy writing positive where deserved. However, this experience was so disappointing and I feel like we wasted our money. We won't be returning and unfortunately won't recommend to anyone. read more
