I love this wine bar…read more I feel so at peace here. Ambiance is great, staff kind, and great wine selection. They also do wine cocktails and a full dinner menu. It is a little upscale but still a relaxing place to get a glass of wine with friends.

Found this spot because it was across from our hotel. Just as we were sitting at the bar, our…read morefriend texted us that we should check them out. Crazy coincidence! It's a romantic vibe. Great for a date or a girl's night out or a solo treat yourself. They have a large variety of wine from all over. And their menu has some light fare or full dishes if you want to have dinner. Everything smelled really good coming out of the kitchen. I got a wine flight for $20 and the champagne nachos. I already ate dinner but our friend recommended this, so we had to try it. Perfect for a light snack. I really enjoyed my flight and bought one of the bottles. Ended up getting a bottle from Portugal as well from their shop at the door. If you don't feel like sitting to have a glass of wine, you can pick up a bottle and enjoy it at home.

We're wine members and love that the owner thoughtfully selects organic wines. It's also a wine market, so you can bring home bottles of your favorites. The snacky food is great for sharing, too. Whether you're stopping in for a glass of wine or hanging out for the evening, it's the kind of place that makes you want to stay awhile. A great addition to Oceanside's wine scene!

This is quite a gem. I loved how the seating looked and felt like a home…read more We started with a bottle of their natural wine. You must get a bottle! Their natural flavors are quite smooth. The thing about their food is that they are small portions. All fantastic flavor.... but just not ENOUGH!!!! Our server Tristan was very attentive and provided information on their wine variety. If you don't want a reservation, they have a nice bar area if you just want to chill

I considered it a big personal victory when I discovered Little Victory!…read more This was THE perfect spot to celebrate my partner's birthday! The ambiance was incredibly warm, beachy, and romantic- perfect for a date night or girl's night. A truly beautiful space with an equally impressive menu! The entire night was filled with good bites only! To break it down: Seasonal Spritz: This was a sparkling wine with ginger, white peach, and citrus. So bright and refreshing! Honestly, my ideal spritz. Crudo: Highly recommend this starter! It featured thick cuts of yellowtail, watermelon, cucumber, ginger, thai chili, and thai basil. Really clean and fresh. I was surprised by the amount of fish we got! Local Catch: Another winner. This was roasted yellowtail with summer bean, tomato ragout, and Jimmy Nardello peppers. Absolutely no notes! Rigatoni: Our standout dish of the night! It featured summer squash, saffron butter squash blossoms, blistered tomatoes, and parmesan. I'm not usually a fan of cream based pastas, but this one blew me away. The veggies really brightened things up and I felt like I could eat plates and plates of this. If you get one thing, please let it be this! Since we mentioned in the res that we were celebrating, they brought out complementary champagne at the start of the meal. Loved that they treated us to cheeky little drinks- we're not the biggest fan of sweets!

I loved Sound by the Sea! Spent a Saturday night here enjoying the vibes. It's a cool, loungy…read morespot and they have a rotating schedule of open deck nights, where anyone can DJ. That evening's DJ was great and kept the vibe going. The service was ok; it took a little while to get someone to take our order, but as soon as they did, the drinks and food came quickly. I got one of the specials (2 empanadas and 2 glasses of wine for $30). All their drinks are made with Korean Soju. They also have a selection of wine and beer. My DIL had the Norwegian Wood and it was delicious - it also packed quite a punch! The food portions were small, but delicious. The truffle popcorn was amazing, as were the beef empanadas. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Oceanside!

The rooftop has one of the best views in Oceanside and is definitely a great spot to bring a date…read more The atmosphere and ocean views are the main draw, and the chicken sandwich was excellent. That said, after multiple visits, the service has consistently been the weak point. It can be slow and doesn't quite match the upscale experience or price point you'd expect from a rooftop like this. At these prices, I'd expect a level of service closer to what you'd receive at a high-end resort, and unfortunately it hasn't been there. You're definitely paying a premium for the location and view. I'd still recommend checking it out, especially for drinks, sunset, or a date night, but keep your expectations realistic when it comes to service and value.

Saw great reviews about The Rooftop Bar and the recommendation on making reservations - glad we did…read morethat! It's beautiful at the top, we didn't really have a great view from our seats - but it also seemed like if you are a larger group there isn't too many options. We were seated by the pool area - which was strange since we weren't hotel guests and weren't planning to swim, but it was closer to the pier view. The main area seemed to be more shaded than the pool area, so half our group was in the sun and the other half were shaded, thankfully there was a breeze! We specifically went for the happy hour drinks and they were delicious!!! Service was good - our waitress was friendly. I will recommend this place to anyone visiting the area on the future!

Pretty Good! We bought a Groupon here ages ago, and let it expire. I had called back then, knowing…read morethe expiration was coming up and we were not going to make it in in time, but was told that they would not honor the deal price, just the purchase price. So I was totally irritated and boycotted this place. My anger subsided 2 years later and we went in. Sat at the bar, our bartender was slammed, apparently a group of like 20 just walked in ahead of us. We told her to chill, we are easy, we're not complainers (unless you really, really fuck up!) The bread is excellent. I thought I remembered them having lame hard breadsticks. No, they have really, really amazing bread. We ordered Calamari as well, and then ordered an extra side of the Calamari sauce to dip the bread into. Was only a dollar! Amazing sauce, like a vodka sauce sort of. We also got the Chicken Fantasia, and the Eggplant Florentine. SO GOOD. Both. I wanted to eat them both myself. My boytoy is Italian and super picky with Italian food. Apparently no one can make it as good as his Grandmother. It's like I live on the set of the fucking Sporano's sometimes, honestly. He's the Christopher, which would make me the Adriana. Anyways, he liked everything too. We will be back, I actually have one more expired Groupon to use at Dominic's next door, which is the same place. They gave me no hassle with taking off the purchase price of the groupon off the bill. I was ready for a fight. Manager did it as soon as she asked, no hassle whatsover. Only thing I don't love is the bathroom, it's like in the storage area or something? Not very nice. But it's the beach, real estate is limited.

The Hubs and I love to do Saturday beer days - We will bounce around to different breweries to try…read morenew brews and grab some tasty bites. Bottlecraft has several locations, but we have both agreed that the Oceanside location is our favorite. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop and tasting room - This means that you can taste a variety of beers, which taps continuously rotating - then pick up cans of your faves.. or try brand new cans to bring home. We love to grab a spot at the bar {typically to watch whatever sporting event is on TV}, or on the back outdoor patio space if we come with a group. When seated at the bar area, you can also chat with the amazing beertenders and ask for their recommendations if you're unsure what to try {I will always recommend a good Hazy or Double IPA}. The team here is always on point - Providing fantastic service as well as friendly conversation while you enjoy your brews! Not a beer drinker?! Hard Kombucha, Cider, Wine and Non-Alcoholic options are available - There is something for everyone! While enjoying your brews, if hunger hits, visit Shootz Fish & Beer - This is a stellar food spot tucked in the corner as you enter the shop. Do not skip out on the Potato Taco! It's the perfect pairing with a good beer - You will thank me later for introducing this combo into your life! ;-) Along with phenomenal beer, Bottlecraft is pet friendly and just a hop skip and jump to the beach - What's not to love here?! Calling all beer peeps - Are you on Untapped?? If so, let me know.. I'd love to connect and see what brews you are currently loving.. or not.

If you are looking for a place to try new beers this is the place to go. Not only do they have a…read moregreat selection on tap they also have a great bottle/can selection. I was able to find beers that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Tried the sour that was on tap and bought the cascade kriek sour. There is a small corkage fee if you buy bottles and want to consume them there but it's worth it. They have a nice outdoor area that seems to be connected to the other businesses they are connected to. Will come back to try more beers.

We were greeted and seated quickly, came on a Sunday around 8:30 pm…read more Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us suggestions that at first we thought were just him kinda talking the dishes up, but dang whoever is cooking in the kitchen knows what's up! lol They knew how to sear a steak better than most! and made some amazingly moist/juicy perfectly fried chicken! I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team. Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

I checked out Jazzy Wishbone for the first time, and overall, it was an okay experience. The…read moreatmosphere was nice, and I'm always willing to try somewhere new, especially when there's live jazz and comedy. That said, I was a little disappointed to find out that even with a reserved table, there's a $30 minimum if you want to stay for the jazz, and a $25 minimum for the comedy. I understand businesses have minimums, but personally, I prefer places where I can come in, relax, listen to the music, and decide what I want to spend without feeling pressured--especially when I'm experiencing a band or comedian for the first time and don't know what to expect. The waitress was okay, although there were a few assumptions made during my visit that I didn't feel were appropriate. I'm glad I checked it out and experienced it for myself. It just probably isn't somewhere I'll return to. I'm looking for more of a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of spot where I can enjoy the entertainment without feeling obligated to meet a spending minimum. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! At least now I know.
