MY FAV BEACH RESTAURANT. They have so many options here it's amazing. I got the home sweet home which was a grilled cheese with tomato soup (sooo good). Our table overlooked the water and gorgeous view. The area around here was mainly blocked off because the vice presidents wife was attending a wedding!! It was a pretty cool experience. ALSOOO our server Chloe was so sweet. My favorite, we had such a good conversation and she made my family and I's day. She told us about traveling abroad and all her gorgeous rings. She was soooo sweet and engaging. Definitely recommend this place. Will come here again!!! read more

I can't believe this place only has 3.5 stars! The spicy BLT was so memorable . It almost made me cry. For real. The caramel latte "to go" was the best ever. Our server Gabriella was so on top of things and efficient. The breakfast burrito was fantastic and full of flavor as well. Such a great and comfortable atmosphere! Highly recommend. read more

High/Low - Caramel latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Mediocre food. Stuffed French toast was one small, burnt piece of toast engulfed in mashed raspberries and 1 strawberry and 5 blueberries- guess they loaded on the liquid to try and cover the burnt bread. Asked for another plate so I could remove some of the goo- had to ask 3 times before the plate arrived. We were 4 adults and two very young children but we were a party of 6 so 20% tip automatically added. That was fine but the server said to "feel free to add to the tip". Twenty percent wasn't enough?!! Would go somewhere else. read more

Honestly, the servers were so sweet so im going to get that out of the way. The food was an absolute nightmare. The bloody mary tasted like it was made with watered down salsa ($19) ....undrinkable. The macaroni salad tasted like a roll of pennies. The waffle was undercooked, the fried rice was soaking wet and the homemade spam was just sausage?? Pretty sure that it was actually Nasi Goreng - an Indonesian dish. You cant just add pineapple to anything and call it Hawaiian lol. My whole party left feeling sickish High Low was better as a dirt lot. Throw this whole place in the trash (besides the servers) read more

Food is hit or miss, and service can be as well. I've been here 5 or 6 times, I've had the hash which is usually pretty good. The breakfast burrito was great the first time I ordered it, but has been so bad the last two times that I was unable to finish it, and was the nail in the coffin for me for not coming back. The coffee is really good. read more

Sadly, I won't go back to this place anymore . The food and service were terrible . I got barely egg salad on my egg salad sandwich and I couldn't get a napkin for the life of me. I gave 3 stars for the view and location only . Hopefully the leadership here can find some improvement in the future . Tata! :) read more

Came here for brunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We were sat and greeted right away. We sat outside because how can you not with that view! We also had our pups with us. I ordered a Bellini and my boyfriend got the Arnold Palmer. I was torn between the vegan quesadilla and the salmon scramble so I asked the waitress what she suggested and she said the salmon scramble so I got it. It was delicious and had tons of flavor. It wasn't too salty like some salmon dishes can be. My boyfriend got the Cardiff crack hash and he loved it. This place had awesome views, service, portion sizes, and the ambiance was lovely. I will be back soon! read more

I came here with my family on Sunday for brunch. I ordered the avocado toast. Avocado was non existent (a little bit of brown-ish paste dabbed onto the bottom of the toast between the plate and toast?!) and a bunch of soggy arugula that had been doused in olive oil and very salty. The fried egg was runny (the waitress didn't ask how I would like it prepared). I did send it back and they removed it from our bill, but I was starving and didn't dare order anything else because jt took them so long to come out with the food the first time around. My dad ordered the Cobb salad and felt sick later that day through the following day. My mom ordered the Toes on the Noes - the sad looking "waffles" were 1 thin weird looking waffle that had been cut into fourths and served plain (my mom had to ask for syrup and butter). I believe this place is only good for the view/ambience ... food was a huge disappointment. read more

Yummmm! A great place in O'Side with views of the ocean right by the pier. Service was great and quick, dogs are allowed on the patio. Food was delicious for the morning, after leaving the beach on Pendleton we stopped here. We ended up splitting everything. read more

Great service, food and location! We sat outside and there was a concert at the beach we could enjoy while eating breakfast, it was amazing!

I am trying to understand the reviews and why this place isn't rated at least 4 stars. I thought the food was great and the atmosphere to be the ideal San Diego brunch/lunch spot. We ate out in the patio and had a clear ocean view. Sure the food was more $$ than other brunch places, but you are paying for the location, service, and food. read more

I eat here often but this is the worst experience. The host said our wait would be 35 minutes. Turned into an hour wait and I had to go remind her about seating me... For the FOOD.... Oh lawd... They must be saving rice for themselves to eat in the back kitchen. The rice was soggy and they put way too many damn pineapples. If you're seated outside watch out for the flies, because you'll be going to battle with about 6-7 at a time.Shout out to Jack, who is a great server !! read more

High/Low - "Hawaiian" Fried Rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

The High/Low restaurant in Oceanside ( north San Diego county) epitomizes San Diego culture with a hip-hop and reggae playlist and ocean views. Food here is reminiscent of Hawaiian fair inspired by San Diego surfer with several healthy options as well as some more hearty post surf calorie loaded meals. I got the crispy rice salad with shredded chicken which ended up being just crispy rice with no actual salad so I added some regardless so delicious crunchy and chewy super fresh what is so good oh my God like doing arugula delicious nuttiness from the arugula For breakfast definitely try the homemade "pop tart" There's always a wait BUT there are so many spots to chill and have a drink while you are waiting and the drinks are very good- especially the Bloody Mary with crispy bacon. I liked it so much I got a virgin version everytime. My only suggestion would be that the host or hostess let waiting customers in on the bar area and suggest some drinks. I think they are missing out on plenty of people who decide to go elsewhere once they hear about the wait time. Service was soooooo friendly, Eddy the manager will be sure to take care of you, he generally checks in with every table. The best part of all, is the free valet across the street at the seabird hotel allowing you to sit back and enjoy the views without worrying too much about parking! Look out for Sunday drag brunches which should be going on throughout the summertime months. read more

This place has great food, service, and views of pier and ocean. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that the menu is misleading. The rhubarb soufflé which I've only been able to get once was usually "out" and now I'm told they just don't have at all and updated menu with it on. What? I don't get this reasoning. Please draw a line through it on menu or leave off menu when you update. Rhubarb is a thing for us New Yorkers- lol. It's so disappointing that out of the last 5 visits I was only able to get it once- 2 months ago. Alternative- anything else. All good but disappointment not best way to start a meal. Just sayin. read more

Met a dear friend for brunch. It was a bit chilly outside but we were seated soon after inside where it was still a little chilly. The drinks and conversation warmed us up. We ordered the bacon appetizer but it never came. The server was nice but seemed a bit preoccupied with other things. I had the seafood Louie wedge. Holy wow! Plentiful with a great dressing and crisp greens. The shrimp was large delicious. Definitely want to return and try other dishes. And the bacon! read more

My boyfriend and I had the most wonderful breakfast. The outdoor seating was so comfortable and the heaters really helped beat the cold. Staff was incredibly kind and so attentive.

Awesome spot by the water and in the middle of downtown Oceanside. We sat outside and the chairs are super comfy. I got the spicy breakfast BLT which was amazing. Huge pieces of bread with thick bacon and egg on top. Ended up putting the egg inside. Not very spicy but really good sandwich and huge. Coffee was good. Great food and atmosphere. Nice to see people walking by and look at the water. Highly recommend for brunch. read more

Aurgh, the waiter here is beyond rude. We had a c-level leadership sailing event nearby and chose High/Low for the ocean views. They treated our leaders so horribly and made me embarrassed that I selected that restaurant for them. Never again. I don't recommend anyone booking events through them. read more

Not sure about some negative reviews for the breakfast fried rice with kimchi and pineapple and homemade spam, but remains delicious. One of my favorite things on the menu. For lunch I like the shrimp salad. The outdoor setting with the view of the ocean is hard to find. My service has always been prompt and accommodating. This is a great place for fun food. read more

Staff are great but take a HARD PASS on the avocado toast. Revolting brown mash that is not actually avo but yesterdays guacamole. I'm really sick of this kind of thing at upscale places . If you're not going to give us actual avocado at least say that and don't charge us for frozen crap especially in California where we produce millions of whole actual avocados read more

We had breakfast at here yesterday, what a great place! Attached to the Mission Pacific resort, it has ocean-front patio seating that is very comfortable. Janna had the Avocado Toast with arugula, crunch-crunch, and fried eggs while I had the Crunchy Hawaiian Fried Rice with Homemade spam, pineapple, kimchi, scallion, sesame, and fried eggs. Enjoyed the Guatemala Drip, it was excellent. The service was very good, the food came out quickly and our server Michael kept our coffee cups full. Great experience, I look forward to trying the Cardiff Crack Hash next time! read more

Nice place for breakfast as it is right across from the Oceanside Pier, awesome views !!

Recently, I tried this restaurant on a cold, stormy day. While their outside seating was closed (for obvious reasons), the inside was extremely cozy and nicely warm. It was a perfect environment for the outside weather. I think because of the rain too, that it made the restaurant a bit less busy. We were lucky enough to just be able to have open seating anywhere with zero wait. Food + drinks: 5/5 Pricing: 3/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Let me start off by saying the food was delicious, but we'd come back simply for their eggnog latte. It was incredibly creamy, frothy, and not overly sweet. I was thinking about it hours later lol. It was also a perfect addition to the rainy weather. While the menu isn't necessarily large, there was a nice variation of food -- and some vegan/vegetarian options as well! I also appreciated that they had a lunch menu, which I'll definitely want to try. I got the High/Low Quesadilla with soyrizo instead of bacon. It tasted awesome! A great balance of flavors, and the salsa that came with it was awesome. My mom got the Cardiff Crack Hash, which she described as being delicious, too. The meat was tender and fairly good quality. Her only complaint was an overcooked poached egg. Pricing is definitely not reflective of the portion, but the quality is there for sure. Still, I'd argue it could be cheaper. I don't see how it's fair spending $16 on two fairly small lattes Granted, they were amazing and house-made, too. The atmosphere was lovely. Again, cozy. Cute. I will say, indoor seating is sparse. I could see why on a busy day, wait times could be a nightmare. Especially since they don't do reservations. I loved the art by Jay Howell! Super cool. They even had merch. Decor was great, and it was clean. Now for the zinger. Service? Sub-par. It's sad because the person who greeted us was incredibly nice, welcoming, and attentive. But once she seated us, that was the last we saw of her. After that, we had multiple servers/food runners attending our table, but all of which were awkward and seemingly...gossip-y? They weren't exactly rude, but they weren't super attentive. We also caught them staring at us multiple times, turning away and giggling, or whispering to each other. It felt like a high school classroom. Frankly, it was super unprofessional. And weird, especially since we can't seem to figure out what was so interesting about us! Lol On top of this, they spent a lot of time huddled together, standing around and talking. It's especially awkward seeing this in such a small environment. I think this place could be an easy 5 with better, friendlier staff. I can't imagine the service on a busy day But, I'm absolutely willing to come back again! Even just for the latte! Hopefully next time, service is a bit more friendly? And mature? But I absolutely think it's worth it for the food and atmosphere. read more

Still way to many hiccups for being open as long as you have. Bloody Mary mix is AWFUL. (Yuck) Your servers have no idea how to make a Michalada.. If you don't have enough help on the floor and we as guest can see and sense chaos, the F & B Manger needs to be on the floor helping.. We literally live across the street down on the strand and defiantly not a place we would run back to or return to entertain. Unfortunate for you guys because during the "off" season you will need you locals. read more

I normally I don't Yelp as I think it can be harmful to small business and everyone is entitled to bad day here and there. Unfortunately, this was apathy and not a bad day. Our server Jubei decided to give us an attitude instead of explaining the menu. The Cobb comes with French dressing (not on the menu)... rare for Cobb, but maybe it's good. We had asked for Bleu Cheese Dressing on the side. Instead of explaining that they don't have blue cheese dressing and it comes with French, he got quite hostile. He said are you going to take the French dressing or do you want to give me an attitude. Pointed at the menu to show us it was French dressing, but it's not on the menu. This was after we waited 15 min for our wine and to put our food order in, after initially waiting 10 min before our server came by. I asked to speak with a manager and they sent the lead server 20-30 min later, after I came in and asked to speak with the manager again. The GM was there, but did not come out. The lead server had an obvious lack of experience and apologized but it was apparent she did not care when my BF walked in to the restaurant, and they were mocking us. We were never rude, nor did we ask for any free things. We finally got our Cobb after about 40 min, and it was good until we found a hair in it. It was too short to be mine and too long to be my bald BF hair. If it was thicker I would've thought it was a pubic hair. I realize they don't care because of the abundance of tourists in the area. We are locals who were pretty excited about this relatively new spot. If you want overpriced food with apathetic service, this is the place for you. We've contacted corporate as well. Spend your money somewhere that cares. Side note- the table next to us was dirty when we got there. We were there almost two hours and they bussed it 10 min before we left. Because there was a glass with beer and cherry tomatoes all over the table, we had to fight with flys the whole time we were eating. No, it was not busy at all. read more

Cute spot by the water! The wait was about 30 mins on a Saturday for brunch. I'm currently eating carnivore so I ordered a la cart: over easy eggs in butter and the plain bacon.

High/Low is the daytime bar and restaurant at Mission Pacific, one of the new Hyatt hotels near the Oceanside Pier and the Amtrak/Coaster/Metrolink train station. It's definitely at a convenient location, and it's a great spot to stop for a casual lunch at the beach. When I stopped here on Sunday, I had to wait a few minutes for a table, but the outdoor common area is very beautiful and inviting. And once I got my table, I had a great ocean view. Honestly, the location is probably the best aspect of High/Low and Mission Pacific overall. While here, I grabbed a mojito and a grilled cheese/tomato soup combo. The tomato soup had good flavor, and the chimichurri crema was a nice touch. The plate only came with half a sandwich, but I was OK with that, since I wasn't super hungry. (If you are, though, just keep this in mind when you're looking for somewhere to eat in this area.) The mojito was a bit on the bitter side, but it did have a good kick. All in all, I had a nice and light late lunch/early dinner at High/Low. It struck me as the kind of hotel bar-restaurant with plenty of the standard hotel bar-restaurant fare, but nothing was terrible, and the location is terrific. I won't mind coming back some time soon. read more

High/Low - Ate everything within minutes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

High/low is a restaurant that is on the first floor at hotel Mission Pacific. It has great patio that overlooks the pier and beach area. During our vacation in Oceanside, we stayed at Mission Pacific, and we dined at High/low one morning to try their breakfast. For two adults and two kids, we ordered Hawaiian fried rice, Toes on the nose, side of tator tots and monkey bread. It was plenty of food for all of us, I even had to take monkey bread to go because we were so full. The "spam" that comes out with Hawaiian fried rice was homemade, and also the sausage patty on Toes on the nose was homemade. Waffles looked kinda soggy, but surprisingly, it was delicious. All of us enjoyed the food and the great weather on the patio. Also the service was delightful. If you are in the area, try High/low! Great location and yummy food! read more

I came here with my family for dinner and breakfast in May 2022, and had to come back when vacationing again this May 2023. Every meal and drink were delicious, good quality and portions. The prices for the food, service and drinks are definitely a bargain! We came for breakfast and found the menu changed slightly (I think prior it was a test menu as it was a new restaurant), and most items we saw prior remained. I saw some reviews that were negative for various reasons I could not understand or agree with. I have high standards when it comes to food quality and service, the only thing I could see improvement on is the wait time for drinks. I remember this the last time visiting as well - getting coffees, beers or mixed drinks takes quite some time, while food comes out fairly quick. I'll be back next time we visit - we love this place. read more

The food was delicious, we ordered the smoke salmon scramble, huevos rancheros, A-frame bowl, two orange juices, and a couple of coffees. I can't comment too much on the service; I went down, grabbed my food, and took it back to the room to eat but there was definitely a beautiful view of the ocean (depending) on where you sat. read more
