    Came in early for a drink before an event. Inside was clean, I sat at the bar and was greeted. Drink was made quickly and tasted good. Menu had some good options on it.

    Yay!!! We FINALLY have our own CPK in North County again!! Here we are, the second day of opening and I'm SO excited. Everything is new - the restaurant is full of people, excited servers and there's a good buzz going on. Of course with every new restaurant there are hiccups, and we had a few, but pack your patience while they get their procedures down. HAPPY HOUR: M-F 3-6pm (close to 50% off drinks as well as a good choice of apps) That's a great deal! My Dinner: (Happy Hour apps) - Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower - try these they're so good! You almost wouldn't know it's a vegetable. There's a tasty Sriracha buffalo sauce that has a nice spice to it but the Gorgonzola cheese and greens (celery, cilantro and scallions) work well to balance the taste/heat. - Szechuan Chicken Dumplings - These are ok. Yummy with a sweet sauce. But my favorite is the cauliflower. Hubby got the $9 - 7-in Pizza + Draft Beer Happy Hour Special. The pizza is a small one but had a good amount of pepperoni on it and he said it was wonderful. In fact, his plan next time is to get TWO of these and that'd be a meal (2 pizzas and 2 beers for $18 is a great deal) For dessert, we got the Upside Down Berry Cheesecake and since they now have hot fudge, we got that on the side. The cheesecake itself is pretty light (I've had better) - the berries really make the dish. Now you add the warm fudge and BOOM! We'll definitely try the new Churro Swirl next time. Shout out to MIA, our waitress - she's super sweet and really worked hard to make our dinner awesome. Thank you!! TAKE OUT: If you don't have time to come in, the take-out is easy on the website or app. They have a whole counter at the back of the restaurant just for that. There were SO many orders last night, I was watching. It was really impressive. Again, we're so happy CPK opened in North County. Everybody in your family can find something they like here. Our 2 boys grew up going to the Solana Beach location - it was always an easy, please-all outing for our family. Come!!!

    Just saw it was open and decided to stop in. It was astoundingly amazing with the excellent service considering it was only open two weeks. It was some of the more attentive service I've ever had in Encinitas. Nice decor may be a little too brightly lit, but a nice bar there as well. All the food is the usual CPK standard. We just had a pizza and tried the new crispy Chinese wonton salad, which was just excellent. They also have a really cool selection of nonalcoholic drinks, which I love. Can't complain and really enjoyed having CPK back in our area. We will definitely be back again.

    CPK is fine overall, pretty average experience food wise. 2 pizzas and a salad for $70.

    Had $50 gift card and claimed they could only take off $8 in food.

    Been here three times and each time there's a problem with overcharging. First time, I caught it and asked server to take off the overcharge. No big deal, it happens. Second time, it was a group at the bar. Bartender couldn't run our card at the bar seats so we gave our cards, paid and then realized they didn't give us the Happy Hour pricing. Manager gave us each a gift card for the overcharges. Cool, we will try again. Third time, went last night and used the gift cards and the manager said "sorry, even though you have $50 in gift cards and your food bill is $37, I can only take off $8 in food." What?!! Plus the bartender charged us for an extra glass of wine we didn't have. Food is good. Love the indoor/outdoor bar but each time I go I feel like I'm getting scammed. I've given it three tries. Shame since I live nearby and it's walking distance but hardly worth it.

The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

I had called earlier that week inquiring about a corkage fee, as well as if there were any brunch drink/mimosa specials (like a bottle w juice type thing most brunch restaurants do on weekends). I was so discouraged by the hostess I almost cancelled my reservation. I purposely made sure to call at an "off time" so as to not be disruptive, and the best answer I got was "ummmm i think the corkage is $25." And to the mimosa question, "yeah I mean, we don't do bottomless but we have mimosas and I think we have a bottle special." So unhelpful- if she didn't know, she should confirm. I believe it was the same hostess when we dined, who, because we ended up seated right next to the dj (more minus points, who wants to be seated there, let alone when he is setting up, and while we made a reservation and were celebrating his birthday), moved us to outside at the front and we could see on her phone texting more than once. So, we sit. Taylor starts our order (very nice!), and we ask about drink specials, she cites of course we can have a bottle of mimosas. But there are no specials. So the bottle of prosecco is $63 plus $5 for orange juice. INSANE. But again, this is why I had called. Had the hostess shared there was nothing offered other than what was online, we coulda brought our own and paid corkage. Since we were led to believe otherwise, we had no alcohol and instead just had coffee. Cue Miles: he took over for Taylor almost immediately. He was AMAZING! So nice, so helpful, really accommodating and just the right amount of suggestions and check ins. Truly, amazing. As was the food. We had the ricotta, the french toast, and the Benedict. All were great. And great prices for the food too. The coffee came out lukewarm and had apparently been brewed quite awhile ago but Miles was happy to bring out fresh. I had put on the reservation that it was a birthday, and Taylor had asked if we were celebrating anything, and I told her it was my boyfriend's birthday, to which she eagerly explained they love celebrating birthdays at Waverly. Imagine my surprise when ultimately it was not again acknowledged or celebrated in any way. Perhaps because Miles took over for Taylor, but if it's on the reservation, you'd think I wouldn't have to address it again, much less multiple times. All in all, a very mixed review- there were some exceptional pieces of our experience (Miles, Taylor briefly, and the actual food), but there were a lot of misses too. Super disappointing that this was a birthday brunch because the misses really impacted the experience.

When I made the reservation, I asked if it was possible to find a place that wouldn't be too close to the bar, as I didn't want the typical happy hour noise that might make it hard to hear one another. And they delivered! My business associate got there before I did and asked how I reserved such a prime spot! She was seated right next to the outdoor fireplace! We decided to take advantage of the $7 glasses of wine they offer until 5pm for happy hour and asked our server, for a suggestion on something to nibble on. She immediately went to the bruschetta board and said we could pick four different types to make up our board. Not only were they a delicious delight, but the fact that arrived pre-cut made dividing them up much easier! Our server treated us to a dessert - hot donut dots, which came with tasty dipping sauces. What a sweet treat, literally and figuratively! 2nd Visit - The next time I returned it was to join some family members who were there dining but because I had already eaten, I just joined them for a drink. So this time I got to sit on the inside, which was just as enjoyable. We had a server who was training another server and they both did an outstanding job. It was a first visit for my family members and they were really impressed with what they had eaten and the service. So whether dining inside or outside, the atmosphere is wonderful, the food offerings are delicious and the service is top-notch!

Restaurants are way too loud in general, but some things are outside their control. Playing music too loud for people at the same table to have a conversation is not one of them!! The servers were polite and understanding, so I don't think we were unusual in walking away. Also, the Postino website does not allow you to complete their online survey--at least not if you are giving them a poor rating. I tried several times and concluded that they have it set up to prevent you from submitting a sub-par review. Not really interested in constructive feedback, I guess.
