Wasn't quite sure how this dinner would end up but 333 was excellent. We ate here to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and 333 did not disappoint. The service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and considerate. The ambiance is classy. Our table had an excellent view of the sunset. We had lobster bisque (yum) and dipped our rosemary sourdough rolls in it (also yum). My wife loved the ahi tuna tartare. I picked a arugula apple tomato feta salad with lemon vinaigrette and it was great. We also had a beef tri sampler which is highly recommended. Overall the food, location, and fantastic service made for a wonderful evening. read more

Our server was rock solid, ambiance with the sunset was beautiful, but the food was ok. For the price of everything we were just expecting more of a wow factor. Salmon was good just overcooked. The pier 333 salad was lacking flavor. Wedge was solid and burgers and fries were flavorful. The calamari was a bit overcooked and Tony said the meatloaf was under seasoned. Overall nice sunset evening at great location. Give it a try the steaks looked amazing read more

This is an awesome place for happy hour! I stopped in while on vacation and was so impressed with the food and drink options they had and the quality was amazing! I highly recommend the mussels! The overall restaurant had a lively feel, we sat in the bar area and they had tvs with sports on. Our server Chandler was so awesome! He made the experience at 333 even better! Will definitely be back any time im in town. read more

Ordered Halibut and was pretty good. Ordered Porterhouse for $80+ and it was terrible. ZERO flavor and no seasoning. Had simple grill marks and grey coloring!!!! Suppose to be aged beef and I was surprised on the lack of flavors. There was also a charge for 5% added to the bill without notice. Or at least I did not see it on the bill. For a supposed steak house, I've had much better for much less. Save your money. read more

Decided to stop by for Happy Hour... we were heading to the beach but because the weather had drastically changed and was too cold, we decided to stay warm inside and hit Happy Hour. Many places to sit on the covered patio overlooking the pier and ocean, inside, or at the bar. We ordered the calamari, ceaser salad, truffle fries, and a few cocktails. Everything was very good! Service was great, very friendly. Before or after you enjoy your meal and drinks go for a walk on the beach, walk the shops nearby, or check out the Top Gun House. read more

Nice, lively atmosphere for a modern bar. Not much to eat but, nicely located near beach keeps the place busy and happy. Very good service.

We are from out of town and I wanted to eat at a upscale place that overlooked the water. I made a reservation and specifically put in the notes we wanted a table that overlooked the ocean. When we walked in the place was virtually empty. Seeing how it was upscale I figured I didn't have to say anything about the water view. We got sat at a booth in the middle of the restaurant. I asked if we could sit in the area that I requested that oversees the water. I think the hostess was new as she seemed nervous and didn't know what to do. We finally got sat in the area I requested. Our server was nice yet very serious. He was taking care of the table next to ours. It didn't take long to realize it was either his first day or his last. He took forever to do everything and it got annoying fast. The table next to us was complaining about him too. For food I started with oysters. They were good but very small. I also tried the 2 bloody marry oyster shooters which my server acted like he was doing me a huge favor because it is apparently only served in the bar area. I didn't like it but honestly I didn't think I would. Entree I got the Choice Cowboy Ribeye. For what I think cost $80 it was a huge disappointment. Very little flavor. I was waiting for our server for so long I had to get up and find him. Once I did and asked him for salt he said "Oh you got your food already?". Keep in mind we had gotten our food at least 10 minutes prior. My wife got the half chicken which was actually decent. The saving grace for me was the creamed spinach. It was the best creamed spinach I have ever had. For an upscale restaurant I was very disappointed specifically the service. When you are paying these prices the hostess should know how to read reservation requests and apply it. Servers shouldn't be MIA constantly and should know how to do their jobs better than a server at Applebees. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Well... the cowboy steak was delicious, the dry aged porterhouse was absolutely horrendous. The latter was chewy, no sear, and absolutely no flavor - we had to douse it with salt. Felt like it came out of a microwave. We told the waitress and the manager came and they ended up giving us a free $10 dessert. Makes no sense, paid $70+ for a terrible steak and we get $10 discount. They should have refunded the horrendous steak at a minimum, we would have tipped them the amount and then some. Finally, the total bill with tip was around $280, another $20 and we could've ate at Valle right next door, an amazing michelin starred restaurant. Rethink how you treat unsatisfied customers. This is not a candy store to give out $10. Never again 333 Pacific. Edit: I hate the copy/paste corporate response to negative reviews. I emailed them and they never responded.

I recently visited 333 Pacific with my parents and was delighted to arrive just in time for happy hour. While my mom wasn't a fan of many menu options, my dad and I decided to indulge in appetizers and drinks. We kicked things off with some delicious truffle fries and calamari. The filet mignon skewers were a mixed feeling 2/3 were excellent, but we had to send one back due to undercooking, so definitely keep an eye on that! I did try my dad's drink, the whiskey and blood, that was really good....I'd definitely recommend that! Midway through the meal, we decided to try the oyster shooters, which were interesting, though I recommend sipping them slowly before taking the shot for the best experience. The elderly couple next to us recommended that when I saw them drinking them. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the Brussels sprouts; they were overcooked, although the idea of adding almonds was appealing. The ambience of the restaurant was nice, with a great setting. However, the crowd predominantly, older, which was fine since my parents fit right in. I would love to recommend this place to my friends, I guess just a heads up that the majority of the customers seem to be 50 and up. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I look forward to returning to try the recommended s'mores desert ! read more

Erin C is the exact kind of server you dream of. She not only helps you choose between entrees and the all-important steak sauces, she also makes sure you feel welcomed. She asked about us, laughed with us and made us feel so comfortable. We shared the Steak + Sea for two. As a big eater, I of course thought it might not be enough. This humongous platter comes out just filled with food! See photo! As foodies, we had to finish it. Erin then helped us with dessert - we chose the warm brownie sundae and it was scrumptious. Highly recommend asking for Erin and a window table - you will NOT be disappointed! read more

Tonight, my wife and I dined at 333 Pacific. We were given a table by the window, so we could see the pier, ocean, and eventually, a beautiful sunset. We began the evening with a bottle of Pinot Noir. Our first course was the Glazed Crispy Pork Belly. Oh so gos,with great flavor. By now, our server brought us so,e warm bread with herb butter. Our next appetizer was Black Mussels. These were so good and the sauce was great for dipping the bread. For our main entree, we shared the Halibut, and once again it was a hit. Our server, Johnny, was outstanding, always checking in, keeping our wine and water glasses filled. All-in-all, it was a beautiful exp read more

This is a beautiful restaurant right at the pier in Oceanside. Service was wonderful. Everyone was attentive and welcoming. We sat a table outside where we could see the hustle and bustle of the street and view of the water. The food was delicious as well. I started with a Caesar salad and then had the side of mac n cheese with added caramelized onions. The Caesar was fresh, crisp and just the right amount of dressing. I loved the house made croutons. Mac n cheese had the spiral noodles which I prefer and was a nice size portion. The caramelized onions really added a lot of flavor and were the perfect addition. I can't wait to dine here again. read more

I visited 333 Pacific over the summer, and overall it was a really good experience with a few highs and lows. The location is amazing--right across from the Oceanside Pier with a great view. Upon walking in, the restaurant was very loud, which I wasn't expecting from a high-end steakhouse. The hostesses seemed pretty young and a bit casual, but they got me seated quickly. I was placed inside with a lovely view of the pier, plus a good angle of the TV at the bar (the fight was on, so that was a bonus). I was also seated right next to their wine cellar, which was a nice touch. Props to my server--by far one of the best service experiences I've had at a restaurant. She was super caring and attentive, checked in about every 10 minutes without being overbearing, and made sure everything was going smoothly from start to finish. She started me off with a steaming hot bread roll--served one at a time instead of in a basket--which was absolutely delicious with the butter. I ordered the half dozen oysters as an appetizer, the dry-aged New York strip steak for my entrée, and a side of macaroni. The oysters were fantastic--by far the best I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and served with great sauces (the little Tabasco bottle was a fun detail). The steak arrived sizzling on a piping-hot plate and was perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned beautifully. Honestly, one of the better New York strips I've had. It was served over tasty potatoes with little green onions on top, which added a nice flavor. The macaroni was creamy and good, though nothing out of the ordinary. At the end of the meal, they brought out a complimentary slice of cake. The cut was thin, but it was delicious, and I also ordered a coffee that really hit the spot. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star review is the noise level. For how upscale and pricey this place is, I expected the ambiance to feel more refined. That being said, the food was excellent, service was top-notch, and I'd definitely come back--maybe for lunch next time. read more

Attended for a friend's wedding reception and I was super excited because I've heard great things about this place but I had never been here. The servers were nice, we had a great server (I can't remember her name). There was a long wait in between courses though and that was kind of a bummer as we were pretty hungry. We did have the Brussels sprouts appetizer which was pretty good, had too much balsamic on it though. We also had the calamari appetizer too but same thing the sweet glaze on it was a bit much and made the fried exterior on the calamari soggy. The dinner rolls were interesting, they had rosemary or something in them, but they were super hot and fresh. I was expecting a sourdough roll I guess so I didn't really like the rosemary component. The salmon dinner was a very small portion, the flavor was different too. I think there was a blood orange glaze on it and it's definitely different than what I'm used to, I've not had a salmon or any fish made with that. We were seated in the back in a nice reserved room and I really liked it. It was big enough for our decently sized party and the holiday decorations in the room were pretty. Also the bathrooms here were really nice too. I'd probably come back again to try out some other menu items. read more

Uniqueness: Restaurant inside a hotel, decent but nothing spectacular Wait Time: *** (Usually reasonable, but can vary depending on time of day) Food Quality: *** (Decent, but not exceptional) Service: *** (Friendly, but sometimes slow) Setting: *** (Hotel restaurant vibe, nothing unique) Cost: *** (On the higher side for what you get) 333 Pacific in Oceanside is a decent option if you're staying at the hotel or looking for something nearby. The food is fine, but it's not amazing. It's good enough, but nothing that will leave a lasting impression. The service is friendly, though I've experienced some slowness during my visit. The atmosphere is typical of a hotel restaurant--nothing particularly special. It's a solid place for a meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return unless in the area. read more

We had such a great experience thanks to our server Erin! From the moment we sat down, they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. They knew the menu really well and gave great recommendations that ended up being some of the best things we ordered. Service was perfectly timed -- drinks were refilled, plates were cleared promptly, and we never felt rushed or forgotten about. You can tell they really care about giving guests a great experience. Great service can make or break a meal, and ours absolutely made the night. If you get this server, you're in great hands. We'll definitely be back! read more

The staff is phenomenal. From the hostess, waitress, to the manager who checked in on us - everyone was professional, quick and had the right balance of making sure we had what we need without it being overbearing The prices are aligned to the type of place as well as location. If you can, get a seat with the ocean view. There is a premium but it was worth it. My wife and I had 3 of our nieces with us. She had the filet, I had the burger. The nieces got the cioppino, pasta and chicken. We had shrimp cocktail, bisque and mussels for our apps. We got some potatoes and asparagus for our sides. It needs its own line item. One of the stars is the bread and sweet butter. Savory warm bread and sweet butter was a great combination. Everything was cooked perfectly and had great seasoning. The portions were more than adequate. Everyone had leftovers including myself. We were all full but my youngest niece wanted dessert so we got the cobbler. It was good but portion was small. So that is the only real negative we had. My 5 year old niece finished most of it. We were all full so it wasn't an issue but next time I would try another dessert and hope the portion was a little bigger. read more

What a great bar (and restaurant). Came here for a drink before heading out for sushi and it was just the vibe we wanted. Music volume was just right, the bartenders were amenable to changing to the Olympics, and the old fashion was perfect.

We have been to 333 Pacific several times in the past, but never for Happy Hour which is from 3-6pm, so we thought we would give it a try. The price is good at $10 for the appetizers and drinks on the menu. This is one of the Cohn Restaurants which usually have a good reputation for excellent food and service, and we live closer to another Cohn Restaurant, Vintana, which is one of our all time favorite places to go for a special meal. The view just outside of this restaurant is spectacular, especially around sunset since it's right by the Oceanside Pier. We ordered the 333 filet skewers which were delicious and the meat was very tender. The sweet chili calamari sounded good, but was surprisingly bland and a little chewy. This was very surprising because overall I've had great meals at 333 Pacific and this was definitely subpar for them. Also, in comparison, Vintana's Happy Hour menu is much larger and everything on their menu is excellent, including their calamari which is one of the best, so this one paled in comparison. We then tried the 2 Bloody Mary Oyster shooters for fun, and it was very good, though the amount of grated horseradish definitely surprised me and packed quite a punch, but overall it was a fun and refreshing appetizer. Overall, we'll return again someday, but I would just recommend avoiding the calamari. Most of the food is excellent, and the view is spectacular if you can get there by sunset. read more

Service and food great! Tuna tartare and French dip excellent. Reasonable prices, convenient location and Erin was a terrific server

Took my husband here for a special birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Ocean views, white linen tablecloths, and a menu with something for everyone. The star in my mind was the kids menu -- all parents know the dread of going to a "fancy" restaurant with younger kids. But here, for $20, kids get a full three-course experience with plenty of classics to choose from. My 4 year old enjoyed his little crudite, buttered pasta, and brownie sundae. My 12 year old went nuts on some lobster bisque and steak. Good wine menu, lots of fun cocktails. I would come back! read more

We came in expecting a good meal and left wondering if our server secretly owns the place. From the moment we sat down, Kelsey was everywhere in the best way possible--greeting tables, running food, checking on drinks, making jokes, and somehow keeping the entire dining room moving like a well-oiled machine. You know that one person in a restaurant who clearly knows everything that's going on? Yeah... that Kelsey! Don't forget about her assistant Savannah. She followed suit with seem-less execution! And although we hardly spoke she was very friendly and her competence was comforting. They were funny without being over the top, super approachable, and had perfect timing. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and every question we had was answered before we even finished asking it. It honestly felt like they were running the whole restaurant while still making our table feel like a priority. The best part was the vibe--they made the experience feel relaxed and fun instead of transactional. You could tell they genuinely cared that everyone was having a good time. If management is reading this: whatever you're paying them, it's not enough. If you're dining here: hope you get this server. Your day will automatically be better. read more

Took my mom and stepdad here to celebrate her birthday, and the place did not disappoint. They both went with the steak sandwich lunch special--huge hit. I had the meatloaf (was in the mood), and it absolutely delivered. Rich, flavorful, satisfying. Paired it with an old fashioned that was smooth and well balanced. We shared a couple appetizers--the pork belly was just okay, but the calamari was crisp, tender, and really well seasoned. We also tried a couple desserts--my mom went for the brownie sundae, I had the butter cake, and we split both. We agreed the butter cake edged it out. That said, I've been here quite a few times, and desserts have always felt like the weakest part of the menu. Not bad, just not on the same level as the mains and apps. Food and drinks were very, very good--but what stood out most was the service. Every single person we interacted with was dialed in: the hostess, our server, the managers, the bartender... all genuinely warm, professional, and on point. You can tell the staff here actually cares. Two thumbs up across the board. Classy spot, great energy, and they made a birthday lunch feel like something a little more special. Will absolutely be back. read more

Our group has been returning to 333 for 15 years. The staff has always been attentive and kind. The night manager actually gave us one round on the happy hour price, the reason for the extra star!! Now a new GM, David Robinson, has entered the equation. Many in our entourage are fans of the key lime pie martini. This item has been taken off the happy hour menu which was met with disappointment By the whole group of about 40 people. We have sent so many people there!!! The staff has stated many times over the years that this will always be on the happy hour menu. Dave could not have been more indifferent or condescending! He did not convey any appreciation for loyalty and made us all feel like we were mere peasants and our business was not needed, or appreciated. I suppose this is a good problem for a business to have. Unless something changes, we will not return since we don't matter. O'side has many other nice restaurants. read more
