    Came here for Easter brunch. Parking is either valet or self parking. Self-parking you get a ticket and restaurant validates. If you want to do self-parking, make sure you wear comfortable shoes as it is a long walk. My cousin ordered the cesar salad and she said it was delicious. I hs the fish and chips and the fish was nice and crispy and not dry. One of the best fish and chips I've had. Dessert, we had a complimentary brownies with ice cream on top and that was very good. We decided to get the churros as well and that was a winner. Definitely a place to go to again.

    Bar Tirzah is located in the Omni resort in the Omni resort. My expectation was very high when it came to the restaurant when you walk in to the lobby of the hotel by. It is on the left. it has a true true bar, big screen TVs. Great fun ambience, especially when the golfers are there after a golf game. There are different levels to the restaurant. You can sit at the Bar, outside on the large patio deck and an patio with a few tables and fire pit. I went in a Friday night. It was packed. If you go you need to be prepared their will be more kids ( 10 and under) than you would expect. The service was good , but you could tell they were under staffed. M waiter , Jonathan, was working hard. He made the evening. The food was decent. The drinks we're good. Nothing wow, just decent.

    This will be a pretty short review as I didn't spend too much time here but overall a positive experience. We dropped in after a spa day at the resort to grab some wine and nibbles. We were seated within a few minutes. The ambiance was relaxing although a bit loud because it was almost dinner time. There was patio seating too if you preferred but we sat inside. The snacks we ordered were standard and we were too full of wine to get anything else. And there were your usual suspects on the wine list. Although I think our server was new and had never heard of Malbec before. Otherwise, service was prompt and our experience was good. It's also conveniently located close to valet so we didn't have far to walk. The resort is huge to navigate so that was a plus!

    Ahi tostada to share

    The food advertised looks amazing. What comes out of this kitchen was hilarious Far away from amazing. I'm going to put screenshot of what they show you what arrived and second what is advertised It's revised now to give you chips The waiter was great however.

    Ate on the lower outdoor patio with beautiful view of the golf course. Lots of shade umbrellas. A solid menu, small but great variety. Yummy craft drinks. Delicious sandwiches, salads & fresh ahi tuna bowl. This is a solid choice for lunch. Great service too.

    Tortilla soup

    I'm staying at this hotel and had to try this spot! The views are incredible. I had the tortilla soup which was a decent portion and very flavorful. Then I tried the grains and greens bowl, with steak. The servers were amazing, several of them were constantly checking in on me, filling my water, cleaning my table, etc. everything was on point and I can't wait to try again!

    During my time at a conference in Carlsbad, CA, I attended a happy hour event sponsored by one of the vendors at Bar Traza. It was a large event, where half the restaurant was booked. Even with all the people attending the service was great as the bar tenders and servers were constantly making and delivering drinks to the attendees. There was also catered food made by the restaurant. All of it was delicious, but those meatballs were special. All in all it was a great event, and I enjoyed spending time and talking to the other attendees.

    Lobster roll and strawberry salad

    I ordered the lobster roll, strawberry salad, and french fries. The food was good. The view was nice. There are a lot of birds outside around the food , which took away from my enjoyment. I like an attentive wait staff, but I felt like they were a little pushy versus being attentive.

    My husband and I had a perfect evening here! I'm glad I made reservations so we got a table outside, which was lovely. The hostess was fun and friendly (19 year old blonde, didn't catch her name), and our server was great as well. We got the shrimp appetizer, but our entrees were really where the money was. I loved my lemongrass chicken and vermicelli noodles, and my husband was really happy with his half Reuben half tomato soup, especially since it also came with another side! And holy cow the dessert!! That brookie was phenomenal. Huge portion. Warm. Just perfect. Wish I could go back for that!

    We had been aimlessly looking around for a spot that was open since our flight got in late at night…read more& we were starving. Places like the restaurant below were closing when their times were supposed to be open still. Kitty and Nate were awesome with their customer service! Super nice and accommodating, even when the food was a little too spicy for my mom. There were things like the drinks they made differently to accommodate for what we were looking for. Love the ambiance and the food was great. Whoever commented on having a midlife crisis, karmas going to kick your ass when you are that age. At least the owner has something going for themselves & has been really creative in the whole experience.

I don't quite remember the prices but I think everything priced was fair/good value seeing as their food and cocktails are amazing and very high quality. I love the chicken gochujang sandwich. It is sweet, tangy, spicy, and the perfect portion. It is part of their happy hour but also their regular menu so it's great that I can enjoy at a discount. The happy hour was house cocktails only, but they do them really well. Their original cocktails are fun, delicious, and one of a kind. I tried a few and you can't go wrong. Lastly, the bartenders and servers are exceptional. They are kind and fun and definitely help to make the experience and environment a lot more enjoyable. I really enjoy this place and look forward to coming many more times and bringing more friends and family in to enjoy as well!

I wanted to go there for the longest especially for Happy Hour. When I got up there, I was amazed at the ocean views and pleasantly surprised it wasn't crowded during this beauuutiful late afternoon.

One is a nice, sit-down restaurant. One is a coffee house. The third is the Pocket Pool and Bar. We found the service to be good, but we really didn't enjoy the drinks. The space was rather empty in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. We received coupons good for two welcome beverages at The Pocket when checking in at the resort. When we arrived at The Pocket after checking in but while waiting for our room to be ready, we found ourselves to be the only guests there. No reservations were needed. The clouds were out but it would soon be nice and sunny. We sat down and each ordered a zero proof cocktail. The ask was for something fruity and sweet. We ordered a variation of the Feeling Peachy, consisting of peach puree, citrus, mint, and bubbles. We did choose to give the bartender the freedom to make drinks that would be fruity and sweet as none of the drinks on the menu sounded like what we were feeling for. The bartender brought us drinks that we tried and decided we wouldn't have ordered if we didn't have vouchers for free drinks. As such, we acknowledged they weren't for us, though if we would have paid for them, we would have been disappointed. As such, I'd encourage anyone ordering drinks at The Pocket to stick with drinks on the menu. Speaking of the menu, the menu offers beach bites like smashed guacamole, craklin' buffalo wings, elote fries, quesadilla, sunset ceviche, and dirty nachos. The main event dishes include blackened Baja fish tacos, the wagyu double smash, millionaire's BLT, coastal Cali burrito, and Pacific poke. The balanced-ish menu items include pocket Caesar, the wedge, paradise bowl, and the Santorini. Treat Yourself dishes include cookie sando, assorted fresh fruit, and seasonal sorbet. Beverages include cocktails, wine, drafts, cans, zero proof. The Pocket is a surf-inspired bar with a view. There are televisions to watch sports games, and with the bar being part indoors and part outdoors, you can catch the nice weather or escape from it depending on if it is sunny or rainy. You can make a reservation on OpenTable. The bar hours are open daily from 11 AM to 7 PM. The kitchen is open Monday through Thursday from 12 noon to 6 PM, Friday and Saturday from 12 noon to 7:30 PM, and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 PM. Should we visit the Alila Maria Beach Resort Encinitas again, we may give The Pocket a try again but more for the atmosphere, good service, and perhaps some bites instead of drinks.

I always enjoy dining there with my family because they have good food that we can all enjoy together. Every year for my birthday I go to Gonzo! I simply love eating at Gonzo. First of all, I can't get over how scrumptious their food is, it is so tasty and packed with flavor. If you stand in line to order, as soon as you sit down you will have already been served. I don't know how Gonzo prepares their meals so fast, yet so delicious. Also the fact that they cook their food fresh daily is crazy to me. I've been to many ramen restaurants and no one compares to Gonzo's. My go to on the menu is the tonkotsu ramen with gyoza and chicken karaage. Gonzo also offers a very unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in Japan. They have waving cats, a big banana neon light, posters and a floating ball on top of the water station. The ball is so cool but I am still puzzled on how it works. Their decor can not be matched. They also have a TV that is always playing Anime. You can also sit inside or outside so if you feel like sitting inside, sit inside but if you want to sit outside, sit outside. Gonzo also does not offer reservations so there is always a place to sit. If there is nowhere to sit just get It to go, truly there is no other ramen stop better than Gonzo. Lastly, the people there are super nice, and always check up on you, they are very polite, and they always say your welcome. While you wait, you can enjoy your appetizers until your main meal arrives. Also if you ask them for a free ticket to their store, they will give you one, each member of the family gets one. You can go next door and trade them in for tokens, these tokens can be used to play claw machines so you can win stuff. But what tops that off is that all of the employees are welcoming and happy. Gonzo Ramen is the best restaurant in the world. They offer good food, an amazing atmosphere and the people there are super nice not to mention the location is very conveniently located near my house. I seriously think about Gonzo all the time. Gonzo is that go to place for me and my family.

It's far too small to dance unless you're slow or maybe 2 stepping in the corner. The ambiance is dim, relaxed, fun.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the host (I forgot his name, but it starts with a V?). Super friendly and helped all of us feel at home; Would occasionally check-in to make sure our needs were taken care of too. Sometimes you walk into bars and deal with judgy/pretentious people or service workers and we didn't get that impression at all from any of the staff here. My girlies and I ended up sitting in the outside area, which honestly was a great choice due to the humid weather AND we got a great view of the beach sunset. It's a bit stuffy (when it's hot), but still nice inside the establishment. We also ordered some drinks and tiramisu to make the most of our time there.

To make up for it, she gave me two shots instead of one and even added a big discount. The ambiance of this place is unique and very artsy.

There's so much attention to detail throughout--even the restroom door is thoughtfully designed with a modern, creative touch. My friend ordered a variety of cocktails, and everyone enjoyed them. The food was great as well. I ordered the hummus plate, and it was the best I've ever had--so fresh and served in a generous portion. My friends tried the pizza and a few other items from the menu, and everything got a thumbs up. If you're in the area looking for a cool place to hang out or planning a party, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back again soon.
