Aysha took care of us and was just amazing, super genuine, kind, and attentive in a way that didn't feel forced at all. We showed up a bit hangry, and she totally read the situation, helped guide us through the menu, and made some great recommendations. It really made a difference. The vibe in there is always on point too, great atmosphere. Definitely coming back again, and had to give a shoutout because the experience was just that good. Highly recommend.

This place has a wonderful intimate energy, perfect for sharing tapas and settling into a relaxed unhurried evening. The ambiance is warm and inviting, service was attentive and the food is genuinely adventurous in the best way- each small plate a little surprise for the palate. And yes order the crispy chicken. The seasonal menu has me excited to go back and see what they'll do next. Good wine, on site chill background dj, a true encinitas experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for something a little different. This one is special.

Food had…read moregreat flavors, our waitress was really good at walking us through everything and making sure we were ordering enough for the table but not going overboard. We love that they use local foods like Prager brothers bread and Little Fox ice cream! We had a fun time celebrating our friend's birthday there and would definitely recommend this place as a cute date spot too. On the flip side, I will say for every dish we got, even though we enjoyed them, there was always one spice that would overpower the balance of the dish. The flat bread with burrata had too much salt in the spice mix on the flatbread. The beef tartar was good but slightly strong with the mustard flavor on the beef. The crispy chicken was also a little too salty. The Muhammara dip though, no notes. It was so good! This could all be personal preference, and we did enjoy everything! Those were just small things I noted about the food. Pricing for everything was reasonable and we left feeling full, which is super important

Their food quality is also very good. Of the several times we've been, we've struggled with food temperature not being warm enough about half the time. Servers are kind, but can be inconsistent. Again I would say half of our visits we've felt forgotten. My biggest irritation was during our latest visit, in which families with children were seated next to us not once, but twice. This was disturbing because on the booth side of the table where my mom and I sat, we felt the movement of squirmy children from the table next to us. Highly recommend more attention to table selection by the host staff. Given the classiness of this place, I find it silly that I'd have to go out of my way to ask for hot food and to be seated only around adults. We will be taking The Pony Room out of our rotation for a while.

We walked in, asked if they were open, and they welcomed us to grab a seat, while letting us know "the DJ doesn't start for an hour though". I'd obviously stumbled into a spot I'd normally not frequent, but hey... I was already sitting on a bar stool and ordering an Old Fashioned! Friendly staff and decent prices. The booths to the right were a little worn, but as this place is more of a club than bar - that stands to reason. I only stayed for a single drink and then left, but the place started filling out as I walked out the door. BTW... the rope out front should have signaled to me that this place attracts a younger crowd (I initially missed that tip!).

It's hard being a lobby bar to make sure the waiter sees you, but once they know you're there, the service is fine. It's very relaxing with views overlooking the Carlsbad coastline and whatever event is happening in the outdoor area of the Hyatt. Small tv's, NOT a good place to watch a sport event. The heaters outside are very strong. They have live music on Friday/Saturday in the evening. Food/Drinks They bring you complimentary green olives with a nut. I have had marcona almonds before and this time it was soybeans. The drinks were fine, pretty expensive for a cocktail at $20+. The food is also okay. We had the Local Assorted Cured Meat and it was good! I loved the bread that came with it. The Crispy Spam Musubi was also interesting, it was like a fried rice ball (like arrencini) but with an asian flair. Overall I would not recommend you come here unless you are staying at the hotel, but the views are pretty good.

At 1:35am, while I was literally holding my drink and finishing it before leaving, a bartender grabbed the drink out of my hand, touched me, and slammed it on the bar, saying they were closing. No warning. No respect. Just physical, aggressive behavior. I'm a woman visiting from out of town, and I've never had a bartender put their hands on me to make a point. It was shocking, unnecessary, and honestly pretty intimidating. If you want people out by a certain time, use your words. Don't snatch drinks out of customers' hands like you're throwing someone out of a house party. Totally unprofessional.
