Ordered the roasted chicken dish was very dry and instead of a combination on vegetables I got a few green beans was told that was the summer vegetable. For $28.00 I was very disappointed, I ordered a side of vegetables and they charged ne an additional $ 8.00. For 2 people no alcohol or dessert it was $120. 00. Then they tried to take everything off the table a half hour before closing and the girl said the dishwasher needed this. Really dont think I'll go back. read more

All 4 entrees were delicious. Our server was attentive & accommodating. Outside patio was fine until someone started their truck remotely and we had fumes drifting over to our table for 5 long minutes. (Caveat:Parking lot is up against the patio.) read more

New discovery for us! We came for happy hour but ended up having dinner (we were hungry enough that ordering off the happy hour menu didn't make financial sense). Service was attentive and kind, wine was terrific (a special add for this place), and food very good. The outdoor seating area is nice but small so best to reserve ahead. We're planning to return. read more

The third corner is one of my favorite places to go and you really wanna have a good meal and assistance with experiencing new wines and pairing with the meal that you are enjoying. The service is exceptional.; I feel the whole team goes together to make sure that you are having a great time as you're enjoying great food and drink. The ambience is typical Encinitas, which is very foodie high-end which a casual enough to wear you can bring your family, friendship dating, girls night........ read more

We came during Happy Hr and had some nice Pinot & a couple different dishes. Shrimp taquitos & the Caprese sandwich. Sat at the bar and had a friendly & attentive bartender. Seemed to be a few regulars also enjoying HH. Nice atmosphere. Joined the "Wine Club" and got a discount on the wines we purchased to go. Also, noticed the Crème Brûlée which looked delicious. Next time! read more

The 3rd Corner - I forgot to take a pic of the food. But, this is the inside;) - New American Near Me - Encinitas, California

Alana was an excellent server, full of good info and willing to ask the chef about ingredients. The highlights were the wine list, the burgers and the deserts. read more

Great place for lunch and dinner with one of the best wine selections in San Diego County. Always a wonderful dinning experience and one of the best burgers you can find. Love this place for date night with my wife. read more

It had been a while since my last dinner at 3rd Corner. The food is typically good but the service was spotty. Our dinner last night was perfect. Great food. Lots of wine. Excellent service. We were a party of 4. We started by ordering a very nice bottle of Chappellet wine. Our shared starter was the hummus plate which was the right amount for 4 persons. For our main courses; two of us had the special lamb shank offering, my wife ordered the scallops, and my colleague ordered the chapeno. It had been a while since my last dinner at 3rd Corner.

The lamb shank was outstanding. A large portion and very nicely seasoned. I also tried the scallops which were excellent and, of course, a much lighter meal than the lamb. Overall, an wonderful evening. read more

Going again tonight. Our good friend Linda holds her birthday dinner party at the OB location. The menue and wines are always reasonably priced and the Specials always enjoyable and pair perfectly with their wines. Can't wait, always a good time. read more

I'm cone 3 times I don't think I like the food I like the service but I don't like the food

First, the good. A great wine selection at fair prices, including good picks by the glass. Very cool that you can pick a bottle from their nice collection at retail. Service was friendly and attentive, but they messed up the description of an app we were interested in. Training error--NBD. We weren't super hungry so we ordered the Chef's Board and Clam Chowder. Two of the three cured meats tasted of freezer burn and the brie was bland. Olives were over brined and mushy. The whole mustard tasted off as well. On the good side, the baguette was well made, although it was made without salt, which I dislike unless I'm dipping it in something salty. The clam chowder had the consistency of heavy pasty roux with no clam flavor. At least the wine was good. read more

Food always excellent Been going to ocean beach and Encinitas for around 15 years. I highly recommend them. read more

Second time even better especially with a hot chick. Digging the prix fixe (does that mean it's a fixed price?) Kale and strawberries? Really? Really good. :) Oh the colors!!! Man, duck breast with a medley of Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Ah....yes??? Marbled potatoes, dang, flavorful and so dang tasty. Not hard like marbled at all, mention to the manager to change that. You don't even need to think about what to drink because they already did it for you. Wow! Great idea. Then some kind of dessert and a small glass of something from Italy. Holy jeez!!! Go for the Bartolo, Fantastic, could I really fall in love with a restaurant? Yes Locals only. read more

Had a great evening at 3rd Corner. Enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to bartender and other guests. Had the baked brie appetizer. Very well done. Also the braised short ribs. Very generous portion. My husband had the shrimp linguine and really enjoyed it. Love this neighborhood gem. read more

We love Third Corner! The warm atmosphere and great food along with very friendly service at the bar makes this one of our favorite local date night spots! The wine selections are great but their cocktails are also very good. The shrimp taquitos are a must and the burger is fantastic! Cheers! read more

Cauliflower soup was tasty. Cobb salad was good. Chicken Mousse was good. Short ribs were good. Schnitzel was good. Server was attentive and accommodating. read more

Menu is varied, so it works great for a group with different tastes. Food is excellent. The best is the wine - great choices from low to high prices. Many wines are priced better at Third Corner than Costco or wine stores. Bottom line, excellent food and wine at a reasonable cost. read more

3rd Corner has excellent Cassoulet. It's actually difficult to find a restaurant that makes this dish. There are a few places that claim they offer it but when you call ahead they tell you they're "out". One place in LA had it on their menu, I called ahead to verify they had it, was told "yes" but when we showed up we were told they didn't really have Cassoulet. The only place we could really find it was in Southwest France. So last night we went to 3rd Corner seeking Cassoulet. My wife and I both ordered it. It was excellent. We love this restaurant. read more

Visited for dinner as part of a girl's weekend getaway. Although there were six of us, I'm only reviewing my meal and the overall general thoughts of this great little restaurant/wine bar. (there are other Yelpers part of this group!) We had reservations and when we arrived, we were immediately seated. We requested outdoor seating and found the wrap-around patio completely covered, warm and welcoming. I'm not a wine drinker so just opted to have water to drink. The others all had wine, purchasing a few bottles and raving over their choices. The wine area is fully stocked with a huge selection of bottles along with other items that go along with wine drinking like glasses, etc. I ordered the Roasted Chicken, which was a Mary's Free Range brand. You get a half of a perfectly roasted chicken severed with garlic mashed potatoes, and huge cuts of yellow squash, zucchini, and carrots...all covered with a yummy, light lemon sauce. Could not ask for a better tasting dish! I had also ordered a baguette, which came with butter and shared with a few others. The bread is that crispy crust, soft warm center kind that you want to crave! I'm including pictures of the other's dishes including the Flat Iron Steak, Shrimp Arrabbiata, Salmon with the caramelized onion potato and asparagus. I also included pictures of the tremendous wine area! read more

The food was great. We had the baked Brie and then went halfsies on the scallops and short ribs. The service kinda sucked. The staff was really slow despite the fact that the restaurant was empty and went asked for the soup that was part of the menu and were told we couldn't have it even though we had ordered something more expensive. It was kinda lame. They ended up giving us the soup but it was so-so. We got the chocolate something for dessert, and while the flavor was good the thing was so hard we kept slamming our spoons into the plate to try to get a bite. All in all, we probably won't be back. read more

Roy was phenomenal! Life changing service experience. Never have I ever experienced such wonderful as Roy. His recommendations were all time. His smile a wonderful plus. We will absolutely be back. read more

I would recommend this place as it is an official wine bar, with a food menu that is French inspired with escargot and Pom frittes, plus they have my favorite cheese, I believe it's Humboldt Fog a goat cheese with a fine mold line cooked in a iron skillet with delicious mushrooms and toasted brioche spears. This restaurant has themed dinner, wine education and a wine membership program. I been going to the OB location for years and was pleased to visit the Cardiff location for a glass of Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Pinot Not. read more

The 3rd Corner - Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs PN. - New American Near Me - Encinitas, California

Food was awesome! If you come here, go get the escargot. It was my first time trying, and it was amazing. The baguette that came with it was legit the best bread I had in my life. It was UNGODLY crispy and delicious. 10/10! Also recommend clams. Service is also 10/10. The mussels were not the freshest, and they took it off the check for us. Interior is pretty too. They have creative cork wall designs! read more

Review for Sunday night dinner. The Sunday night 3-course prix fixe is a good deal for $29.99. Changes each week and is posted online. This week it was a simple salad with feta and olives, small dessert (chocolate chip bread pudding), and then either mahi with mashed potatoes, or beef with risotto. The best thing here is the wine deal: instead of paying $15/glass like at a lot of places, you can get a good value wine from the shop, $12 and up plus corkage. So I think we spent $22 for a bottle of tasty white altogether, which was a lot cheaper than $60 for 4 glasses. Patio is nice. We reserved on Yelp. Service was around less than we might have liked - it took a while to get water refills or ask about things. But they were friendly. Definitely Sunday night is the best deal here. Especially when you're getting wine! And easy parking in the Lumberyard too. read more

We go to Third Corner every time we're in the San Diego area two or three times a year. The one Downtown the original one is excellent with great wine selections and food. We went to this one in Carlsbad and it was very good. Didn't quite meet the expectations that we had of the one downtown, but it was it was good read more

Have been going there for years. Wish they would bring back that big, thick, pork chop. They did bring back their great cheeseburger-delicious. In fact all the food I have ever ordered was very good to excellent. They have a great selection of wines that you can order. They charge $7.00 corkage for opening and serving the wine you just selected or your own that you brought. That is reasonable. Their wait staff is very friendly. Wait, what, they took cobb salad off the menu? If enough people complain, they might bring it back, just like they did with the cheeseburger. read more

Always consistent and good. Our go to! Seafood risotto is excellent, their burger is one of the best and they have some special deals as well that are worth checking out. read more

Had dinner with friends last week, it had been a minute since we been here for dinner, looked forward to another nice experience. Unfortunately we left dissatisfied. While the dining room was not nearly full, we felt rushed by the server. Rude is too strong a word, maybe curt more closely describes his demeanor. After food arrived, never saw anyone for water refills or beverage reorders. Cocktail was average at best. Food over seasoned. Too bad for us. We will continue to do most of our wine shopping here, as the selection and value is hard to beat. read more

It was good but not great. Their wine selection was fun. Nice staff and service. The wine we bought was discounted with no corkage fee.

A solid kitchen and first rate staff. They know what works and are constantly good I never hesitate to go here or to recommend it. read more
