    Avocado Toast & Side of Fruit.
    Jemiah J.

    Situated at San Vicente Golf Resort, I first discovered this place after a hike, and my friends and I have been visiting ever since when we're hiking in the area or want to play a round of golf at the resort. This is my third time dining at The Oaks Grille, and their Avocado Toast has definitely earned its spot on my must-have list! Food: 5/5 - I ordered my usual Avocado Toast. They top smashed avocado with fresh sprouts and pickled onions. I love pickled onions! I highly recommend their Avo Toast. This time, I had it with fruit on the side. Their potatoes and fruit are both tasty options. Beverages: 4/5 - I had their black coffee, and it was good. They don't have lattes on the menu, but they do provide non-dairy creamers. Customer Service: 4/5 - The food arrived quickly, although our waitress forgot my friend's order of bacon. She was sweet enough to offer a complimentary one to make up for it. Ambiance: 5/5 - Plenty of seating, very clean, and you get a great view of the golf course through the large restaurant windows. We arrived on a Saturday morning and didn't have to wait for a table. Parking: 5/5 - Convenient private lot.

    Avocado Toast with potatoes

    I'm a sucker for pickled red onions and they had it on their avocado toast! The avocado tasted fresh and delicious. The potatoes were also tasty. I enjoyed the entire meal. I ordered a side of bacon too but the waitress forgot to put the order in. She made up for it by giving me a complimentary piece of bacon before I left. This restaurant is part of a golf course. If you sit near a window you get a good view of the golf course - San Vicente Golf Course.

    Ordered a pie for the first time in a year or two. I ordered the giardona. The good is it had a great crunch. The pie lacks flavor and the toppings are scarce and not evenly distributed. Definitely not worth the $24 and change that I paid for a large. Doubt I go back. This place has never been consistent with their food.

    Excellent pizza, attentive wait staff will help you quickly at the bar on Friday nights. Lively and friendly crowds make the ambiance worth coming back to.

    We're staying at the San Vicente resort and enjoying the breakfast at the Oaks Grille. The restaurant is big and has a nice view of the golf course. Food is delicious. Early Riser deals are awesome! Service is wonderful. I highly recommend this place. We haven't tried lunch or dinner yet but assuming it would be just as great. The restaurant has been touched up with new paint and flooring. The local photos are gorgeous on the walls. We like coming here.

    The food was delicious. The drinks were perfect, and the service was even better. Our server Joy was awesome. She was very nice, despite all the many times we kept adding things to our order. Susan who wasn't our server would also check on us. She was very pleasant, and had a nice little conversation with us about her daughters wedding. We had a perfect breakfast, sitting next to the window overlooking the green & the rain. Thank you ladies. We will definitely be back.

    I love pasta and seafood, and last Saturday I went to have dinner with my friend and it was a cold night. I was craving something warm and tasty. The restaurant had been following the restrictions COVID-19 and so we sat outside. I was looking forward to enjoying the food that was well recommended. The waitress was kind and hardworking. She wasn't even wearing a jacket despite the cold. She was super helpful and brought the food out fast. At first, I ordered a Pinot Noir wine and they didn't have it available so the waitress recommended another Pinot Noir that was super tasty and matched with my dish. For appetizer we ordered chicken and cheese quesadilla, accompanied with 3 sauces, it was so good. For the main course I ordered fettuccine alfredo and side brussels sprouts but I think there was a mistake in the kitchen because I didn't receive the correct pasta, however what they brought me was unbelievable. It was better than what I originally wanted. So, in the end it was a happy mistake. The pasta was cooked just right, the sauce was super tasty, the shrimp was soft and delightful. My friend chose chicken, asparagus and french fries and of course as I love them I ate some. They were crispy and tasted like they weren't cooked in oil. Regardless of the cold, I loved the experience, the food and the workers were very friendly. Everything was really good, a beautiful view of the mountains except for the heater on our table that wasn't working, making us a little uncomfortable due to the cold. But the tasty food made up for it.

    Chicken Fried Steak and they make a good Bloody Mary too.

    This wasn't just a fried chicken sandwich--it was a statement…read more You can taste the difference immediately. The chicken is insanely crisp on the outside, juicy and clean on the inside--not greasy, not heavy, just done right. The kind of crunch that actually means something. The slaw brings freshness and balance, the bun is soft but holds up, and every bite feels intentional. But what really sets this place apart is the sourcing. Everything is local. You're not eating some mass-produced, freezer-to-fryer shortcut--you're eating ingredients that came from nearby farms, raised and prepared with care. That shows up in the flavor, the texture, and honestly how you feel after. It hits that rare sweet spot: indulgent, but still clean. Even the fries--simple, crispy, not drowning in oil--feel like they belong next to it, not just an afterthought. This is what food should be. Real ingredients, done well, no corners cut. Comfort food that doesn't leave you wrecked. Local. Thoughtful. Straight up dialed.

Overall, everyone who works there is lovely and the food is always excellent!

I had heard great things about this place, which makes it even more disappointing. The only positive was the quaint country ambiance, including a nice old mural on the wall. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Sunday morning, so that's understandable and not part of my rating. The food, however, was inedible. I should note here that I came in quite hungry and with a specific hankering for a greasy chicken fried steak and eggs, so I was in a very easy to please state. I ordered the eggs "over medium," and the eggs came out with raw, runny whites and were also cold. The toast didn't arrive until 5-10 minutes later, so everything just sat there getting colder. The "steak" was mostly fat and gristle. The first couple of bites I ate were gristly but doable with help from the gravy - but the third bite was a giant glob of gristly fat that I couldn't even chew - i spit it out and that's all I ate. The hash browns tasted like frozen unseasoned potatoes with only a patch of sear on the outside while the bulk of it was mushy and pasty and gross. Of the whole meal I basically only ate my toast plus a bite or two of each thing on my plate. I left feeling sick to my stomach. After dropping off the food (and later the delayed toast), our server never checked back. No refills, no follow-up. When she finally returned, she asked to clear my very full, barely touched plate without any acknowledgment. I had to volunteer that the food was inedible. The response was dismissive and rushed, with no effort to understand the issue or make it right. An offhand "sorry about that" was offered while walking away, followed shortly by the $60 bill. The complete lack of accountability and concern was frankly abhorrent. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be back. I would have left hungry except that I was queasy from the gristle and paste.

Now that we live in Ramona, we have been venturing out and trying the different eating establishments. This place is like Cheers, where everyone knows your name. It has a great vibe and decent prices. The plates are HUGE and definitely shareable. I have been here a few times now, and I always really like what I order, with one exception: I am not a fan of their biscuits. I have tried on a few occasions and they do not do it for me. Today's was really not palatable. You can tell it was overworked and not cooked properly. You could still taste raw flour. It stuck to the plate it was on; that's how poorly cooked it was. On the happy side, we had great breakfasts. I ordered something different today, their Au Gratin omelette. It tasted great, but did not taste anything like Au Gratin potatoes. I would order it again. We also had chicken-fried steak with gravy and a chorizo scramble. Both were tasty and super filling. I understand their cinnamon rolls are out of this world. Since I rarely eat sweet things, I have yet to take a bite. Hoping next time I go out with friends, someone orders one. There is outdoor seating, and the establishment is dog-friendly. So bring Fido along and enjoy a meal. *Please excuse the photo. I forgot to take one before I started eating my omelette. You can see how dry the biscuit was in the next photo.
