5 stars for service. Had a very pleasant time with the staff here. Great teamwork and customer service. Food itself was decent. Nothing stood out as incredible or amazing. The squid ink pasta was interesting, had a mild spicy kick. Sea bass was a bit overcooked and tough but otherwise tasted fine. Focaccia with whole garlic cloves and butter was good, although I wish it was a little warmer or more toasted. Overall, a decent experience. May be worth a taste for guests staying at the hotel. read more

Piper is restaurant inside the Seabird hotel. Beautiful inside the restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Came in for complimentary breakfast with coworker. She had steak and egg and I ordered the skillet two eggs skillet with sausage and potatoes. Coworker steaks was delicious! It came with a gravy dipping sauce but didn't need it. It steak was cooked perfect med rare and was tender. Egg was over medium and mini potatoes cook nicely. Now my breakfast nothing to boast about as it came out not as a scramble skillet. It came out two eggs medium, two sausage links and potatoes. Still good but was expecting a skillet. We also ordered two lattte. Overall yummy breakfast. read more

Piper serves farm to table coastal California cuisine using the freshest ingredients. We started with a chickpea sphere filled with avocado mousse for our amuse-bouche. It tasted like an ode to chips and guacamole. We shared the pappardelle, lobster Nero pasta, 20oz ribeye and cedar planked branzino. The pastas were good but not better than most Italian restaurants in San Diego. The ribeye was tender and came with a delicate sauce that was not overpowering. The star of the show was the branzino perfectly cooked with a crispy skin paired with green tomatoes, it's a dish worth coming back for. Service was top notch. Food came out on the slower side. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Piper. read more

we went for Easter brunch the hotel was amazing and service very good but the food was such a disappointment after spending what I consider a hefty price. there was no seafood bar like it showed with oysters and shrimp the salmon was undercooked and super fishy. The eggs benedict were hard boiled eggs totally ruined the dish. The dessert bar was very limited and disappointing as well . The best thing was the waffle bar but hardly worth what we paid overall. There was no butter at the waffle bar which was weird and they acted like it was a hassle to get some for my waffle. I'd skip the buffet and just eat at the restaurant or get an amazing room with a beautiful view and bring your own food! read more

I visited on a Thursday at noon for lunch. The lunch menu is very limited. There is one vegetarian option (hummus plate) and it seems more like an overpriced appetizer. The service was great and the interior is beautiful! The food was fine. Nothing extraordinary. There is an extra 6% surcharge added to every bill to cover the increase in minimum wage. I wish the restaurant would just raise their prices to cover their costs. It just seems sneaky of the restaurant to add an extra 6% surcharge with the final bill. read more

Came here on a saturday around 10 am and sat at the bar. Took awhile to get seated. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. We got the breakfast buffet and everything was good but not that memorable. The miso soup was a little strange. The brisket was cold when i got it not sure why. The breakfast buffet was like $52 per person. Which is pretty high for the quality of the food. Service was amazing tho! read more

This was our first time dining at Piper's, and likely our last. To start on a positive note, the dining room, bar, and wait staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Truly a ray of sunshine. Unfortunately, great service in attitude only goes so far when the overall experience falls short. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes just to place a drink order, another 15 minutes to receive menus, and then about 5 more minutes before our order was taken. From there, it was at least a 40-minute wait for food. When it finally arrived, all three burgers were overcooked, dry, and frankly inedible. Another guest ordered a salad, which did not appear or taste fresh. Our iced teas sat empty for long stretches, and we were rarely checked on. Perhaps patio seating gets less attention than indoor dining, but either way, it impacted the experience. What was especially confusing is that the restaurant was not busy... only a handful of tables were occupied, yet service was extremely slow despite what appeared to be ample staff. Overall: 5 stars for the friendliness of the staff, but 2 stars for the food and 2 stars for the excessive wait times. It's a beautiful place, but unfortunately, not one we'll be returning to. read more

What an experience to have for a one night staycation. My friend and I stayed at the Seabird hotel. It was pretty convenient that the restaurant was located on the first floor of the hotel. Fancy restaurant with creative and beautiful decorations. To match the theme of an ocean vibe, the entrance has seashells hung above it. Clean interior and exterior. When it comes to service both night and morning, when we dine in, it was excellent. Consistently checking in on us making sure that we got what we need but not overbearing. The food items is something worth talking about. From the complimentary items from the chef to the actual food we ordered, 80% of it satisfied our tastebuds. Flavors were not lacking. We kept wanting more. Especially the puree for the chicken entree, even though the chicken was a bit dry for my liking. However the lamp chop entree we had was made perfectly. The meat was tender and just melt in your mouth. Not a fan of how the brussel sprouts were made since we're used to roasted whole one. Breakfast was also a hit. Fresh ingredients were used to make the crab cake benedict. The sausage and gravy were delicious and savory for my taste bud. As for the buttermilk biscuits it was fluffy and not dry. A great restaurant to bring family or a partner if you're looking to wow someone's else. read more

Piper really surprised me in the best way. It's right on the water so the views are beautiful. It was understandably busy but we got lucky and found a parking spot right up front. They do offer valet if needed. Service was solid throughout the meal. I ordered the sea bass which came with a pistachio topping and it was absolutely delicious. They also brought out a complimentary rice cracker appetizer with an avocado filling to start. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back. read more

Decided to try it here, my first time. Beautiful hotel. Ate at Piper... No vegetarian options but they made me a simple pasta with red sauce and ended up charging me around the same price as the other meat dishes, cost me $26!!! The few slices of bread to go with it was overpriced to. My friend had octopus and said it was good but her meal was close to $100 for an appetizer, entrée and glass of wine. My beer, pasta and bread was $60. The other restaurant on the other side of the hotel at least had a view of the ocean. Probably won't go again with so many other good options around the area. read more

The staff was completely disorganized and had no idea what they were doing. Even with a confirmed reservation, we were forced to wait in an extremely long line. They also refused walk-ins -- even for hotel guests, which makes no sense. Customers were walking in and being turned away without any clear explanation. Poor communication, lack of staff training, and very weak management overall. A restaurant should not operate this way, especially one located inside a hotel. This place seriously needs better management and proper staff training. read more

We came here during our stay at Mission Pacific because we had a credit- the breakfast was delicious- get some toast or a biscuit (yum!) purely so you can try the Guava Jam- ah-mazing. We got an omelette with grits and the O'Side plate. We also got the green juice and beet juice- serving size was small. The green juice was, well, quite green tasting and the beet juice was delicious! The service was so wonderful and friendly , plating was beautiful, silverware was so shiny it could have been a mirror. Pricing is a little steep, but that's to be expected at a hotel restaurant. The food and service stood up to the price though! read more

Just stayed a night at the Mission Pacific Beach Resort. Accommodations was fine and hotel was designed and decorated well on the interior, though exterior needs some refreshing. What was horrible was the food quality on both restaurants we dined in: Dinner at Piper and breakfast at The Cafe. Subpar food all around unfortunately! We ordered the Wagyu Short Rib and the Halibut at Piper, the Wagyu was so terribly prepared that my wife had to spit out her food, just could not chew that tough meat. My halibut sauce was so salty but I was so hungry I finished it uncomfortably. DO NOT go to this restaurant!! Disguised as a high-end dining establishment with unfortunately low-grade food and chef. read more

We visited Piper for Mother's Day brunch, and everything felt thoughtfully done , from the ocean-view setup to the fresh, beautifully presented food. Highlights: oysters, shrimp, and an omelette station that really delivered. My cocktail was carefully crafted and absolutely hit the spot. I'm already planning to come back for the prime rib and white asparagus ,they looked amazing. Great setting, great food, and perfect for a special occasion. read more

Whenever I'm in Oceanside visiting friends, a stop at Piper is a must. My friends and I love the inviting atmosphere, stunning views, and exceptional food and drinks. We've been here a couple of times, and it was their unforgettable squid ink pasta that brought us back for more--the flavors were bold, rich, and absolutely delicious. The staff provided excellent service, offering thoughtful recommendations that made our visit even better. On our second visit, we were disappointed to find the squid ink pasta no longer on the menu, but the dishes we tried instead were equally impressive. We shared the clam linguine, Nonna's bolognese, and the braised short ribs family-style among four people. Each dish was fantastic--the short ribs were incredibly tender, falling apart with just a fork, and the clam linguine was a seafood lover's dream. Portions were generous, making it perfect for sharing, and every bite was a delight. Piper is definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone visiting Oceanside. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! read more

We had Thanksgiving dinner today at "The Piper" with our family of 8 enjoying the holiday here in Carlsbad. It felt like we were attending a sad wedding reception with ok food. First, our reservation, prepaid, $150 per adult, appeared to include complimentary wine: "Savor curated selections of red and white wines that perfectly compliment the meal." Instead, there was a sad bar in the corner where we could walk up and order/pay for drinks. Second, the Open Table reservation showed pictures of the interior of Piper restaurant, instead we were seated at a round table in a half-empty, bland ballroom. Waitstaff cleared the plates slowly but no one else talked to us. So odd. Third, the only drinks included in the $150 per person fee were coffee, tea and water. In general, for the cost, this experience was far below expectations. It felt like we were eating in a retirement home with a view of the ocean. One saving grace was that the turkey itself was quite delicious. read more

We had a daily breakfast credit and ate here all days of our stay. The inside of the restaurant is really comfortable and welcoming. Most of the dishes were solid; my son especially enjoyed the superfood (açaí) bowl. Poached eggs were overcooked the two times I ordered them. Without any credit the menu is expensive. read more

Where do I begin? The interior of the place has a clean look while also achieving a timeless experience. The dimness of the lights creates a romantic ambience and it brings an interesting color scheme to the restaurant. I tried Piper for dinner and the following day for breakfast; my compliments go towards both times. Dinner: - The "Hidden Temple" cocktail which was deliciously crafted, I did not want it to end. -The "Piper's Burger," which was probably the juiciest burger I have ever had. -The "Chateaubriand," which could be perfectly shared between 2-3 people. -The "Parker Rolls." I know it is not advised to order carbs in the beginning, nor is bread the healthiest form of carbs, but these were a hit because they arrive so soft and warm! Breakfast: -Two Eggs any Style *Can't go wrong with the obligatory American breakfast because everywhere you have it, they tailor it uniquely to their own. read more

My family and I went to the Piper at the Oceanside Hyatt for Christmas, and we were truly amazed, especially by the service and, most of all, the food. Everything was incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The seafood display was outstanding, and the red wine-poached pears and turkey with mushrooms were some of the best I've ever had, especially for a Christmas buffet. I don't usually enjoy buffets, but this was nothing like a typical one. For anyone looking for an amazing experience with tasty, high-quality food, this is definitely the place to go. read more

Had a weekend stay at the Seabird Resort and this restaurant is attached to it. It was our first time staying there and we had dinner and breakfast here. Dinner was so delicious!! The Parker rolls still linger in my head with that salty butter!! My short ribs were just the perfect serving with the mash and asparagus. I don't know what I was thinking but the chocolate cake sounded like a great way to end the evening. Though it absolutely was, prepare to share because it is a generous size and very rich! If you love chocolate, it's for you! We didn't have reservations (which we knew to do for both of our breakfasts after speaking with our amazing server) we were sat right away and everything went smoothly. There are two options for breakfast- a buffet or a la carte. We experienced both and once again, I can confidently say..amazing service and great meals. The buffet has everything from French toasts, pastries, fruit, egg omelettes, yogurts, oatmeal! You name it. You also cannot go wrong with the a la carte. Many good choices there too. I love the vibe here. Beach, casual but with a hint of an upscale feel. There are seating styles for all parties, large or small, and plenty of outdoor seating too. I would absolutely come back here again! read more

Service was good and the bartender friendly and she made a great martini. Food was disappointing the Octopus presentation was sloppy and bland the rigatoni pasta was over cooked and the tomato sauce was just ok. I reluctantly sent it back as I tried to enjoy it but just couldn't settle so I asked for the rigatoni to be al dente but second time around was suspicious as it was too quick to come out and unfortunately just as disappointing. Felt like the rigatoni was pre cooked I don't recommend the rigatoni alla rabbuiata or the Octopus. read more

Really don't like the 6% kitchen fee and then tipping on top of it. Why not just raise menu prices instead of adding on this hidden tax? Other than that the food was good, especially the weekend brunch buffet. However, some of the portions were small, especially the butternut squash soup. It was $17 ($23 after kitchen fee, tax, tip) and was literally about half a cup. Half of was probably stuck inside the presentation jar which was unnecessary. read more

In few words: Great food, slow service. Waited for a table, then waited quite awhile for server to come around. Waited a LONG time for our food but it was worth the wait (seriously). Food would be 5 stars and service would be 2.5 stars. My mom and I shared several dishes: -Scallop crudo in buttermilk sauce- tangy and fresh. -Spring pea soup with creme fraiche- this was my favorite! Texturally so interesting which is unusual for a pea soup. Outstanding flavor -catch of the day: salmon filet in a green curry mussel sauce with eggplant. This was SO GOOD. Skin on salmon was crispy, salmon was moist and cooked perfectly, the green curry mussel sauce was silky smooth and full of flavor. The mussels melted in our mouths. Eggplant was not over cooked. This is a dish I will dream about. read more

Looking for dinner in Oceanside on a beautiful Friday evening. Walked by Piper and decided to check it out. First, it's dog-friendly! Not just on the patio, but even in the main restaurant. A quick look at the menu, a warm welcome from the greeter, and we were in - and Piper did not disappoint. We chose the patio and were seated next to the lovely fireplace with a view of the sunset and great people-watching. Our waiter, Andres, could not have been more gracious or professional. He was always there when we needed him, but never over-attentive. We had the Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad and Crudo Yellowfin Tuna as apps, then Seared Seabass and Mussels Escabeche Tartine as entrees. Each one was delicious and delightful. Andres even brought a water bowl for the dog. Thank you, Andes and Piper, for a wonderful evening! read more

We came here for our make-up anniversary dinner since the first restaurant we tried was awful. Piper made up for our experience at the other place and then some. The restaurant itself it beautiful and had amazing floral arrangements. Our server was friendly and prompt and explained the menu very well. The food was incredible. My daughter had the kids bolognese which was fantastic, I had the duck ragu and my husband had the short rib. Everything was absolutely delicious. They provided us with a really nice assortment of desserts for our anniversary as well as a signed card from the staff. It was so sweet!! We had such an incredible meal here. read more

I am going to name Piper my favorite dining experience of 2023! The gorgeous Piper restaurant is located in The Seabird Resort. We visited in August of 2023 and I regret taking this long to remark on the outstanding experience. From the ambiance, to the excellent service, to each and every bite of perfect flavor, texture and balance, we were thoroughly impressed. I will let my photos speak for me on this one, other than to say that our server Hannah was so knowledgeable about the menu and welcoming, that we felt treated like family. How I wish this restaurant was in Claremont or Pasadena so I could go more often! read more

Incredibly hit or miss menu. Some dishes are absolutely delicious and some are worse than a frozen meal from an abandoned frozen isle of a cheap grocery. At this price point, they need to remove those terrible ones. Wouldn't recommend this place at this point. read more

We had a beautiful dinner at the Piper restaurant. We were able to get here a few minutes early to see the gorgeous Oceanside sunset.... This restaurant is literally a block away from the original top gun house, which is now a pie shop . The food is very fresh. We had their grilled octopus, very flavorful. . We also enjoyed the grilled salmon with a tomato caper Ragu soup... (I'm pretty sure that's not how it was advertised but that's how it ate and it was delicious) We finished that off with their incredibly creamy, delicious fresh carrot cake. This is definitely a beautiful restaurant to go to for a date night family night or a girls brunch . They've got great signature cocktails and nice wine list. The staff are incredibly friendly. There is valet parking at the hotel, but there's also parking down the street . We highly recommend you go and enjoy yourself at Piper. read more
