Great views but that's about it. Was hosting friends from out of town and made a reservation for 4PM. Walked up to the host stand at 4:03 and was told that we wouldn't be charged a late fee. Weird comment to even make. Then had to wait 10 minutes for our table to be ready. Once at our table, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for a waitress who then proceeded to question all of our ID's and last names. We're all in our mid-30s. They were out of several drinks, including the one that was called out as the highlighted drink of the day. Service was so slow that my wife had to get up to try to cancel our last round. Although you get a great sunset, I wouldn't return out of principle. Bad service and weird vibes from the staff like you should be grateful to be there. Plus overpriced below average drinks - $17 for a michelada is crazy. read more

If you can get a table with a view, it's amazing: especially at sunset. The servers are always friendly. We usually get shareables to eat, and we have liked everything we've tried. read more

We purchased daypasses to the rooftop pool at the Mission Pacific Hotel on Sunday and ordered some small plates and drinks on our visit. Our server for the whole day was Noah, and HUGE props to that young man!! He was always one step ahead of us asking for ANYTHING and that was on top of being completely swamped with guests. He was fun, energetic, professional, and so well versed with their offerings which was a big reason why our first ever visit was one to remember and one to keep us coming back. Thank you Noah, we hope to see you again soon at the pool & we hope that you get recognition you deserve for outstanding service! Now, to the food and drinks! We ordered the seafood tower, bottle of sparkling rose and laphroaig on the rocks to start. The seafood tower... well... it was as fresh tasting as it gets. The accouterments were superb in pairing with the oysters... and the tuna tartare as well as the marinated sea bass were absolutely delicious especially paired with the perfectly seasoned tarot root chips. After the rose disappeared, I ordered the Teramar cocktail and it was what you would imagine should be drank poolside. A perfect balance of sweet, sour and tropical all in one. Later I ordered 3 (or 4 I don't remember haha) of the winter glow. Now, I dont like vanilla flavored adult beverages, but I saw it had earl grey tea, and I was intrigued. Well safe to say... I really really like it. It was like nothing ive had before and soooo smooth for what was in it. Definitely give that one a try! We also ordered the chicken sando and shrimp toast. The chicken sando was perfect, but the shrimp toast? Chefs kiss! I could eat that all day if you let me. Again, I have to say that Noah made our experience so much better... and although it was SO very busy, he did his absolute best to communicate slow downs happening at the bar and just made sure we knew we were never being forgotten. My boyfriend, his mom, and myself were and are still blown away. We will 100% be back, hopefully on a more regular basis. This place is exactly the hype everyone states online. Its gorgeous in all parts of its property, and the service you get is top notch. Make sure to give this spot a try!!! And I hope you get the pleasure of being served by Noah on your visit. Make sure to take a look at my photos! I made sure to take a photo of all pages of the menu along with our orders. read more

I was honestly shocked by the experience I had here. I came in with 8 of my family members and my 10-week-old son, and at 9:15 PM -- despite the restaurant closing at 10 PM -- I was approached and told my baby was considered a "liability" because only people 21+ were allowed after 9 PM. As a mother, the way this was handled felt humiliating and incredibly insensitive. There was no kindness, no professionalism, and no attempt to handle the situation respectfully. To make matters worse, I wasn't even properly brought my check to close out before being rushed out. I completely understand businesses have policies, but the delivery and treatment matter. Speaking to a mother and infant this way showed a lack of compassion and customer service. I left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Also I would like to point out that the server Stephanie was not only lack of a human being but her approach to a customer and how she was combative and verbally arguing and raising her voice, 6 inches from my face is also unacceptable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning and neither will MANY people. read more

Its a short walking distance from the boardwalk 2. Great for sunset views read more

Planned a friend's birthday party here and the vibe was amazing. The bar staff was helpful in getting our large reservation set up and the servers were very attentive/friendly. We got an outdoor space with a few tables near the pool and it was a great atmosphere. The space was pretty big inside and had both indoor/outdoor areas. The music was good too. The food options were a bit limited here so we focused on drinks. It can be pricey but the view and ambiance is what you pay for. read more

We were only here briefly and I do have to say, the rooftop had a pretty cool view of the pier and beach! The pool wasn't open yet when we came by in the late morning, although the hot tub was open (quite small though). Our toddler liked climbing on the couch and soft cushions surrounding the covered pool, and we got lucky with the weather in late November since it was nice and sunny with a cool breeze (mid-60s!). I ordered the passion fruit spritz mocktail ($10) while chilling here before heading down to the oceanside pier itself. When we left, we saw a ton of hotel guests having brunch as well, so it seems like it's a popular place to be! The rooftop did end up closing early for a private event (wedding?) from the early afternoon all through the evening, which can put a damper on your plans if you'd like to come here for the sunset or an afternoon dip in the rooftop pool. read more

Literally everytime I come here service is painfully slow, they always say the seats by the glass is reserved but noone shows up. Place always is dead which is a shame. Seems mismanaged, they could be doing alot of business up here if it was managed properly. Waiting for a callback from the manager. Also after the long wait, we order a margarita with Don Julio 1970. The server comes back and says "Here is your 1942". I tell the server we ordered the margarita with Don Julio 1970 and she says, oh we dont have that.... (But Its on your menu!) She should have at least offered the drinks complimentary since her mistake is causing us to wait even longer, but instead just takes the drinks back and said we dont have that, So we just left, there are better options. Still no callback from the manager!!! read more

Our friends took us to this restaurant for the beautiful view of Oceanside Beach and pier. We sat in the pool area at the furthest corner table. It had the best view but it was a bit noisy. It's beautifully decorated and very picturesque. I would say this place is better suited for groups of 4 or less. We were a group of 6 and options were limited. The food was on the pricey side because portions were quite small. More like tapas than actually plates. Food was hit or miss. We did like the cocktails and those were delicious. read more

Stopped by this spot recently -- the vibes are honestly great. The bar is beautiful and well-designed, definitely a place you'd want to hang out for a while. Ambiance hit the mark. That said, service was noticeably slow. The staff was friendly enough, but not very efficient. There also seemed to be some questionable sanitary practices behind the bar. Bartenders went from handling cash and cards straight to shaping a cucumber garnish with bare hands, and I watched another grip a cocktail ice cube with his full palm for my drink -- not exactly reassuring. I ordered The Jetty, their twist on an old fashioned. Unfortunately, it was way too sweet for my taste. If you're a fan of a more spirit-forward old fashioned, this might not be the one for you. Overall, solid atmosphere, but the execution behind the bar needs a bit of polishing -- both in speed and hygiene. Note: there is a 6% surcharge. Not sure what this goes towards? But let's hope the saying "alcohol kills germs" is true. read more

The hotel itself is stunning. Have to take a moment to admire the design and atmosphere! We weren't able to get seated on the rooftop dining terrace on a Tuesday evening around 7pm where we were hoping, so we decided to dine by the pool, the hostess was friendly. The views from the rooftop were outstanding and watching the sunset was amazing! The server and food were pretty slow. Took over 15 minutes to be greeted which in my book is a "red flag". Server wasn't very friendly or welcoming, didn't go out of her way to do anything extra or above and beyond at all other than taking our order. Food took about 30 minutes which isn't too bad, we ordered the chicken sandwich, cheese monger, & feta dip. The food was very good once we got it. We asked for more pita and bread for our apps and we received it pretty much after we were done eating but we didn't mind because we could tell it was fresh and understood it probably took some time to come out of the oven. I wanted to love this place but the service took it down to 5 stars. Also, we were charged $6 for a club soda, and weren't thrilled about that. It felt a bit sneaky to charge for rhat. Will we be back? Unsure. If we had a lively, friendly, and attentive server- absolutely. read more

The rooftop bar at Mission Pacific Beach Resort was a great experience overall. It was very accessible and not hard to find at all, which made getting there easy and stress-free. The ambience was amazing -- stylish, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying the ocean views. I was pleasantly surprised by how lively it was, especially for a Monday night. There were a lot of people, which really added to the energy of the space. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

My friends and I were visiting for a Bachelorette party and wanted to try this place. It was confusing on how to get to this bar since it is on the roof of a hotel. We had to go in the hotel and ask for directions. Once we got to the top floor, it had a great view and they were very busy. It was hard to accommodate for a group of 9, but they found seating us seating under some heated lamps. It was nice because it was cold out, especially being next to the beach. Our server seemed like he did not want to be there. We all got our orders in and shared all the food. The oysters were good. The platter with steak and sandwiches were good, but the vegetables were average. The total came out to ~$400, but we were still hungry so we decided to leave and get more food. The prices were extremely expensive, but the pool and atmosphere was amazing. If you're not worried about the price, this is a good place to go to if you enjoy the atmosphere and experience. read more

We stayed at Mission's and checked out the Rooftop and were throughly happy with the great views underneath heat lamps. The food was very Californian using local ingredients and beautiful plating. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered especially the artichokes. The flavors are unique and creative. We look forward to returning in the future and redoing our exact trip because we loved it so much. Staff were friendly throughout the whole hotel and friendly smiles all around. read more

Beautiful ocean view and huge potential, but consistently terrible service and poor execution. We stayed at the hotel and planned to come here often during our staycation. That plan ended quickly. Day 1: Cocktails were genuinely bad. Beer was fine. Sandwich was decent. We were quietly watching the sunset, snacking, drinking in silence. A waitress suddenly appeared behind us and loudly told me I was not allowed to smoke there. I do not smoke. I was confused and showed her the half-eaten chips in my hand. Instead of apologizing, she doubled down, saying she "smelled cigarettes," then claimed she saw something "cylindrical." There was nothing on the table, nothing in my hands, nothing anywhere. Only after all that did she offer a half-hearted apology and walk away. The interruption was accusatory, loud, and completely unnecessary. It killed the mood and made us leave early. No attempt was made to fix the situation or acknowledge how uncomfortable it was. Day 2: I was refused alcohol because I did not have my passport with me, which is fine, but apparently I aged backwards overnight. I ordered a freshly squeezed grapefruit juice instead. When I asked for something fresh first, the waitress told me they had Dole pineapple juice, which already says a lot. The grapefruit juice arrived lukewarm, with no ice and no straw. My husband ordered a dirty martini. It was one of the worst he's had with cheap and stall green olives and low quality vodka in it. The "marinated Castelvetrano olives" on the menu tasted like basic grocery-store jar olives with some weird herbs on it. Questionable at best. We asked for the check early and left. No one asked how things were or why we were leaving. This place lives off the view, but atmosphere, service, and drinks matter. Right now, the staff actively ruins what could be a great rooftop bar. Wasted potential. read more

I love going to The Rooftop Bar, above Mission Pacific Beach Resort, for the spectacular sunsets and fun events. There's always something happening besides indulging in the delicious cocktails and food. This place can get pretty busy especially at the bar...certain times, there's a wait. The ambiance is usually nice and laidback with chill vibes. I also enjoy hearing the live DJs. Overall, it's memorable each time I go there. The Rooftop Bar is definitely a MUST!! It's the BEST rooftop spot in North Coast :-) read more

Michael and Summer were some of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. They were so friendly and accommodating both had genuine smiles on all day. My mom and sister were visiting from out of town and I wanted to show them how Oceanside has changed for the better. I was just walking up to the bar and told Michael im just showing tje family around, he said do they want to see the pool area? I said sure. Well there was an open spot so he let us stay and naturally we jad to order a round of drinks. Followed by another round because rhe views and weather were perfect. We only left because I had plans to show them my hidden watering hole in Cbad. That may be my next review. Overall it was a very pleasent and relaxing visit. read more

This establishment offers tables (you will need a reservation) and open bar seating. I would like to preface this with the bar staff were fast, friendly, and overall the best part of this experience. However, we did put our name for a table and once we sat the service went completely downhill. Our food came out before our drinks, it was my going away get together and my friend couldn't even stay to enjoy her drink as she had to wait 30 minutes for a n/a beer. The food was dissapointing as well; we ordered the hummus and whipped feta plates; each only coming with 3 pieces of pita, and the most minimal amount of vegetables. We had to order more pita to even be able to enjoy the dips. Gratuity was automatically included despite the absolutely poor service and wait times. While the sunset view is pretty the only good part about this was the exceptional bartenders. Nobody came to apologize for the wait times, not once did the server check on our food, we had to flag her down (which I hate doing but it was a necessary at the rate of her service) to order more pita and to close out. Don't come here for a table or dining experience you'll be left disappointed. read more

I came here with my friend on a Monday afternoon and as a walk in, we initially were going to do bar seating but there were no seats available so we asked the hostess for a table for 2 and were accommodated to SO well! I love the vibe here and the views on a sunny day are GORGEOUS! The drink I had was yummy, tangy, and really well balanced and my friend said her rose was light and crisp! We shared a charcuterie board and that was also SOOOO good, I 100% recommend! There was a bee flying around the honey and honestly, that's how you know its quality food! This would be such a great first date spot and again, you can beat those views!!! read more

10/10 place. My mom and I walked there straight from the train, suitcases and all. We got there and staff were super sweet, even offered to hold our bags for us so we wouldn't have to keep them near the table. Then our server! I wish I remembered her name but she was so super sweet and engaging the entire time, made she we had great recommendations and even tolerated me being a little indecisive on my first drink choice. Not to mention a beautiful view from what looked like practically the entire place. I also enjoyed that each day was somewhat themed in the music so there was pretty much something for everyone, just depending on the day. Although the food is just small plates (don't come starving lol) every thing that we got was amazing that I wanted to personally go ask the manager for every recipe. Honestly we loved our time here and can't wait to come back! read more

I've been coming here for years now and this last seating update of theirs has been the best! It's covered now with umbrellas and the seats are comfortable too. All of their remodels have been better and better! Their service is always good but this last visit was great. Just top notch honestly. They changed up their cocktail menu too which I love! It's focused more on local cocktails and I hope it stays that way. A lot of the cocktails seem to have vermouth or grapefruit in them and it's not my favorite, but besides that they are great! My personal favorite was the sunset cliffs drink since it had rum, coconut, lime, pineapple, and a hint of cinnamon. Fantastic combo! Honestly such a beautiful view which makes this rooftop bar the best! read more

I came here on a whim to watch the sunset with a friend during a day trip to oceanside (we drove two hours away). I'm not sure if it was the way we looked or if the server was having an off day, but I felt that our server was rude. He was very short with us, I didn't feel like he even paid attention to us nearly as much as his other tables. Everyone else was pretty attentive. Unfortunately because we had dinner plans elsewhere, we didn't try the food; just drinks. The drinks were very yummy! Not too strong, and I think the straw was biodegradable because it wasn't plasticky, so browny points for that. As beautiful as the view was from the window seats, I think the best view is for the guests of the hotel at the pool. I still really enjoyed the view of the pier. read more
