    Large pineapple and olive pizza, half mushrooms
    Lauren S.

    Round Table is consistent, and consistently pretty good. I've been coming to this location for the last twenty years about once a year, and it's always the same. The pizza is good and has a nice spicy sauce and a crispy crust, and the salad bar is actually really nice with a lot of topping and dressing options. The arcade games keep the kids entertained. The place is clean and service is fine- not much more to ask for!

    The Pizzas here were great we had a group of 10 + people. Short wait. Totally recommend

    pepperoni, mushrooms, and cheese

    I grew up going to round table with my mom at another location and was super sad when they closed. The pizza at other locations just didn't taste the same. Since then I've tried a few other locations and this one by far is the most comparable. I came back at least 4 times since my first visit, all within a couple months. The pizza is delicious, place is clean and never overly crowded and they serve lunch specials 7 days a week! With how things are now it's not often you can find a place offering lunch specials over the weekend! It's a major bonus for those of us that work during the week and can't even take advantage of those. If you sit in the larger open area by the TV it does tend to smell like cleaner. Not sure if it's because the bathrooms are nearby, but that would be the only downside.

    Third slice with hair in it

    My family and I really like Round Table pizza a lot so we frequently order from them, particularly this location. We hardly ever have major issues with them and have generally found the employees at this location to be courteous and accommodating. We did, however, find our last experience unpleasant and unacceptable. We ordered from them a few nights ago for carry-out and when I got home and started eating a slice, I found a 4"-5" long black hair baked into my pizza. I was grossed out but decided to not make a big deal out of it so I brushed it off. Then, as we continued eating, my MIL also found a shorter black hair in her slice. Again, we were grossed out but we let it go. Then, as we continued eating I realized that all three of our pizzas were made as thin crust pizzas even though I ordered regular crust for all of them. Not sure if this was them making a mistake on the order or if it's some sort of sneaky cost-cutting thing they're doing, which because of higher food costs and such, I have been finding this lately when getting food from restaurants/food establishments -- things like, watered down salad dressings, or skimping on toppings and ingredients. Luckily, we like their thin crust, so even though we all wanted regular crust this time, we decided to not make a thing of it and let it go. Yesterday though, my husband ate a slice of leftover pizza and again, there was a long black hair in the pizza. That was the last straw. I'm officially upset now. At this point, I think it's pretty obvious that whoever was preparing the pizza wasn't wearing a hair net. Management clearly needs to make sure that everyone is following all health and safety procedures. They also need to pay closer attention to getting the orders right. Needless to say, we will be taking a break from eating at Round Table.

    Lunch special
    Elle J.

    I ordered a lunch special which was a 4 topping personal pizza with a bottled soda for $8. The deal itself is pretty good and I have a soft spot in my heart for Round table personal pizzas. We used to have them in high school. I also worked at Round Table in high school which was cool. I ordered online which I think is the way to go. They have their specials and coupons already loaded in. My pizza was nice and warm and they did a good job in the toppings. I wish the sauce was more zesty but it was still pretty good. I don't think I'd actually eat there. It's super dark and oddly depressing inside.

    King Arthur's Supreme!  I have a dairy allergy so no cheese on this one.

    Excellent pizza! Hasn't changed since I was a kid 40 yrs ago. Their thin crust is super crispy as well as tasty. The sauce is the best part of the dish. It is thick, nicely spicy and delicious. Best sauce on the planet! This location was awesome too. The ladies on duty were pleasant, attentive and efficient. They had my meal out in minutes. (Of course I went mid week at 2pm so the lunch rush had left.). But I'm sure they were just as efficient when busy as when just a few people were there. I ordered a King Arthur's Supreme. Mine was cheeseless due to food allergies but the other pizzas on the tables were piled high with crisp vegetables and meats sitting on top of a layer melty cheese. I grew up eating RT pizza but moved out of state as an adult. Every visit back to CA I make a point of having a pie. If you like a crisp crust with a spicy sauce then have a meal here!

    Regular Buffalo Wings
    Kathryn M.

    I can usually count on Round Table for the consistency of their food. The salad bar is a bit above what you might expect, the pizza is delicious and the wings are tasty, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Until I had the misfortune of coming to the Round Table in Encinitas. I ordered a beer on tap. I like my beer icy cold. The glass it came in was icy cold but the beer was barely cold, leaning more towards room temperature. Disappointing. I ordered Buffalo Wings. I didn't realize there were two kinds of Buffalo Wings, hot and mild, nor was I asked which I wanted. I wanted "hot" but got "mild". They were pretty much tasteless. On top of that they were really big and greasy. The texture felt like they weren't cooked enough. I didn't eat them and will take them home and pop them in my air fryer. Pizza. I ordered the Guineveres Garden Delight without bell pepper or tomato and added zucchini.. I sent the first one back. There was so little sauce on it that the first two bites I took were sauce free. They remade the pizza and it didn't taste much different and I didn't taste much sauce on it. The toppings however were plentiful. The usually delicious pizza was anything but however, lacking any flavor from their sauce, which I happen to really enjoy. I don't go out for pizza very often and was really looking forward to it. It has been such a disappointing experience I can't imagine Ever returning to Round Table. One last thing. No more real plates. They're all paper plates now. I should mention the staff. All super friendly and courteous. Didn't bat an eye when I asked them to remake my pizza.

The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions.

If there is a mandatory gratuity or additional fee, it should be clearly disclosed to customers before they receive the service--not afterward. I explained that I did not agree to the additional $58 charge and that I was willing to leave a reasonable tip based on the original $140 amount I had already paid through Groupon.

We tried each others & loved them both quite a lot. We ordered Oolong hot tea with honey & it was such a beautiful pairing for the food. Their tea + honey were both a nicer flavor than usual. Our waitress was pretty cool. She had a chill, sweet vibe about her & really helped us make great decisions. We got seated at dinner time on a Saturday, but somehow managed to beat the "rush." It filled up mostly, yet wasn't crazy, which is nice.

It's SO worth it though. My go to is the fried spring roll which are rolled up fat boys filled with fresh vegetables that are then deep fried and served with a sweet chili dipping sauce. I then always order the monk bowl with ribeye. The blend of crispy rice on the bottom of the pot, mixed with vegetables, the protein of choice and the egg on top creates a masterpiece. Add the two sauces that come to the table and it's a dream come true. The hubby added chicken this time but said he much prefers the steak, salmon, or shrimp. We've had their dynamite fries a few times and sub out carnitas for ribeye instead. Their fried coconut shrimp is a delight as well.

This would have been a simple fix with an adjustment to the commercial machines water ratio or switching out the concentrate bag but with the heavy flow of visitors made that impossible. 4/5 stars overall. Kudos to the staff who work so extremely hard in ensuring patrons having such a wonderful dining experience.

    It was closed on a Saturday?!?! I'm not sure why so many of the food locations were closed, we…read moreended up eating hotdogs from a cart. The hotdog cart had two associates working, and so I assumed the one standing by the condiments would offer "mustard, ketchup, or relish" but instead they pointed at the dirty mustard squirt bottle and said it's self-serve. Why is two associates working at one little hotdog cart? Even he is Onboarding or OJT, why a hotdog cart? A self-serve hotdog cart. I was disappointed.

    Valentina has become a neighborhood staple for good reason. They're really on point overall--the…read morevibe is relaxed and unpretentious (they even have a sign reminding you that this is not a fancy restaurant), yet the food and service feel decidedly elevated. We went last night for my mom's birthday dinner and tried a few dishes we hadn't had before. The Wienerschnitzel was fantastic, as was the chuletón--a massive 32-ounce bone-in ribeye that was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We also ordered several of our favorites: the patatas bravas, with perfectly crispy little squares of potato; the alcachofa, a delicious smashed artichoke with aioli and lemon; the olives, which are perfection every time; and the pan tomaquet con Ibérico--fabulous Ibérico ham served over tomato toast. For dessert, we tried the buñuelos, which reminded me of a lighter, airier version of a churro, and the crema catalana, similar to crème brûlée. Both were a great finish to the meal. Valentina manages to strike that perfect balance: casual enough to feel like a neighborhood spot you can visit all the time, but with food and service that make it feel special enough for a celebration. Another excellent dinner and definitely one of our neighborhood favorites. We usually sit at the bar but enjoyed the dining room this last time!

    We made reservations earlier in the week to celebrate my birthday and arrived on time. The service…read morewas good and we were seated promptly, but unfortunately the overall experience was pretty underwhelming. Atmosphere: The restaurant is very dark and extremely loud. It was so loud that my partner and I could barely hear each other across the table, which really took away from the experience. It also didn't quite live up to the beautiful, inviting atmosphere portrayed on social media. Food & Drinks: We started with the Patatas Bravas appetizer and tuna tartar with potato-lime chips. The potatoes were delicious -- nothing groundbreaking, but very good. The tuna was pretty forgettable. We had an Aperol spritz and a beer, and neither was particularly memorable. For our mains, we had the steak frites and the fish special with chimichurri and charred lemon. The steak was okay and the fries were excellent, but both dishes were lacking flavor overall. The fish especially needed more seasoning. Dessert was crème brûlée, which was fine but nothing special. Service & Overall: Service was good, but considering we had made a reservation specifically for a birthday, I was surprised there wasn't even a small acknowledgment -- a candle, scoop of ice cream, or simple "Happy Birthday" would have been a nice touch. There was nothing. For all the hype surrounding Valentina, I left feeling pretty meh. The food was okay, the atmosphere was difficult to enjoy, and the overall experience didn't feel worth the price or hype. I wouldn't go back.

    A modern vibe. Very clean! Walked in and got greeted kindly by the front desk. Reviews say the…read moreservers are mean/distant but I would disagree! I personally like being left alone, and she was quick to clean off our plates. My party was also perfectly satisfied getting our own drinks as we got our food. As for the food, it was sooo delicious. The fish was fresh and melted in your mouth, as for the hibachi, the man stationed there tonight was so nice and fast to get my plate out. The crab legs are sweet and juicy, but the highlight was the soft serve! It was so good, if you come here try the soft serve. ( I also love how you can see the cooks' stations in front of you. They were very cleanly and washed their hands between each stage of making food )

    First off this is in Escondido California. Its a nice liute Asian restaurant…read more Not bad priced and food had lots to choice from. The lady who greeted you was professional and polite you pay first. They do give senior discounts. There is a 3 hour limit of stay. Second they do not bring you your drinks you have to sever your self. The staff that cleans the tables since its all you can eat. And not really professional and just remove what they think is not being used anymore. 3rd as for food the have egg drop soup. Shrimp. Steak. Blue crab and crab legs. Sushi. Orange chicken . Hot wings. Salad bar. Orange chicken. Lots to choice from. Food was ok. Would I recommend tjis restaurant sorry no I would not. Not for the price. Sadly I took my mom to dinner here since my dads in the Hospital. And I won't go back. I gave a 3 star old do to the professional staff at the door and some of the food. But dosent deserve more then that.
