What a very cool listening lounge and I'm so glad I stopped in to check it out!…read more I came here on a Friday night as they also have a market set up in their outdoor area, so it was fun to see all the vendors' wares. Everything from clothing to sourdough bread on offer here. I then wandered into the lounge and loved the way the bar is set up, very inviting and super chill. The DJ was also spinning some nice beats and the ambiance was laid back, classy with ocean vibes. I wanted to stay longer and enjoy a drink, but my tummy was calling for me to get some food... I'll come back again another night to enjoy the space as I really liked the vibe a lot!

That evening's DJ was great and kept the vibe going. The service was ok; it took a little while to get someone to take our order, but as soon as they did, the drinks and food came quickly. I got one of the specials (2 empanadas and 2 glasses of wine for $30). All their drinks are made with Korean Soju. They also have a selection of wine and beer. My DIL had the Norwegian Wood and it was delicious - it also packed quite a punch! The food portions were small, but delicious. The truffle popcorn was amazing, as were the beef empanadas. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Oceanside!

First event, Simone Biles, first game, Clippers, first concert Cake. This was our 2nd VIP experience, we had a reserved table at The Pala Starlite Patio to watch the 3rd of July Spectacular. There was live music, specialty cocktails and raffles. One food kiosk was open for Tanner's Burgers and snacks. It provided a wonderful elevated viewing platform. We enjoyed the Oceanside drone and fireworks to celebrate this special year. This was our first drone show. We preferred it and chose to go out this night prior to the 4th fireworks show at our home. We wanted to be home with our dogs on the 4th when other shows around us made their usual noise that scare animals. We would attend this event again. #250th #Oceanside #Frontwave #YelpthanksWOW

Frontwave Arena has quickly become one of my favorite entertainment venues in North County. We've…read moreattended multiple events here, including concerts, and every experience has been fantastic. The arena feels modern, clean, and well-designed, and honestly, there isn't a bad seat in the house. No matter where you're sitting, you have a great view of the action. One thing people often mention is parking. You can pay for arena parking, which typically ranges from $15-$25 depending on the event, or you can park for free behind some of the nearby businesses and enjoy a short walk. Personally, I think it's a fair trade-off, especially considering everything the arena offers. The food options are surprisingly good for an event venue. The smash burgers are delicious, and the steak nachos are hands-down my favorite. They also offer a good selection of alcoholic beverages for those who want to enjoy a drink while watching a game or concert. What really stands out is the variety of events. From hockey, indoor football, soccer, and basketball to concerts and family entertainment, there's always something happening. The atmosphere is energetic, fun, and welcoming every time we've visited. One of the best things Frontwave Arena does is offer free tickets to many of their sporting events for local families through promotions on their Instagram page. Follow them and keep an eye out! If paying $15-$25 for parking helps support a venue that regularly gives away tickets so families and friends can enjoy games together, I'm more than happy to do it. Frontwave Arena is a great addition to our community, and I highly recommend checking out an event if you haven't already.

I checked out Jazzy Wishbone for the first time, and overall, it was an okay experience. The…read moreatmosphere was nice, and I'm always willing to try somewhere new, especially when there's live jazz and comedy. That said, I was a little disappointed to find out that even with a reserved table, there's a $30 minimum if you want to stay for the jazz, and a $25 minimum for the comedy. I understand businesses have minimums, but personally, I prefer places where I can come in, relax, listen to the music, and decide what I want to spend without feeling pressured--especially when I'm experiencing a band or comedian for the first time and don't know what to expect. The waitress was okay, although there were a few assumptions made during my visit that I didn't feel were appropriate. I'm glad I checked it out and experienced it for myself. It just probably isn't somewhere I'll return to. I'm looking for more of a laid-back, come-as-you-are kind of spot where I can enjoy the entertainment without feeling obligated to meet a spending minimum. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! At least now I know.

We loved this place! We were in town and wanted a cool chill spot for the night after a day of…read morebeing out. My husband found this place and was interested because of the live music and it being a jazz place. We ubered there which seemed smart because it's street parking and seemed quite limited. There's a $5 cover on Fridays and Saturdays (I think they have live music both days) and we did not have a reservation. I think if you have a reservation you can get a table in their back area. We were up front with the band. It's a pretty small place, maybe about 5 or 6 high top tables in the front, the bar toward the back, and that back room which we didn't look in. We cozied up until someone left a high top and then hung out there. We ordered some drinks that were specials for the night and some that were regularly on the menu. We had a great time! Drinks were good, I think also reasonably priced. Music went from 7pm to 10pm and we got there around 7:30 and it was good and busy! This definitely feels like a family joint, their mascot is their little chihuahua Wishbone and I love that so much. Owners were fun, kept things going while the band was on break, just overall a really good time. I'm not much of a drinker so I can't speak to the types of liquor, but I definitely was feeling my drinks and couldn't finish my 3rd. If we lived here I think this would become a regular spot for us. What a fun time!

The Star Theatre and its classic neon has pulled my heart strings ever since I was a little kid. We…read moremoved to Oceanside last winter and over this last year we've loved driving by the theatre and have kept saying we need to see a show - so we finally did! We bought tickets for the youth production of Anastasia and dear lord, it was SO FREAKING GOOD. We both cried. The kids were freaking phenomenal! The design, costume, and talent was 10/10! We were so impressed with their passion, cohesive change of set, and from the littlest actors to the seasoned stars - they all absolutely rocked it. The theatre seats were comfy and the temperature was comfortable without needing a jacket. No photos/video are allowed during the production and everyone was respectful and followed the rules, which made for fully immersing in the performance. There were light refreshments available at intermission (chips, candy, waters, beer/wine). We caught the matinee and it finished just in time to catch happy hour at 333. We'll be back again!! If you're thinking about going, do it! The Star is celebrating its 70th this year, so a perfect time to join the fun!

First of all, I was expecting to see Joe Hisaishi perform but, instead it was a quartet performing…read moremusic by Joe Hisaishi. Did I feel scammed? YES! Did I enjoy the music though? YES! Fortunately, the musicians were all top notch professional musicians with peak level musicality other wise I would have walked out... MUSICIANS: Professional and their playing was very soothing. They even performed an encore at the end which was the Legend of Zelda... SERVICE: C+ I felt like I was entering TSA check in at the airport. Phones must be silent. I couldn't even have the screen on. Too strict for a small theatre... AMBIANCE: 7/10 you could hear fire trucks passing by in the background. Do they plan to leave the theater doors open throughout the entire performance? This is definitely very different from Carnegie Hall... I should have known better. Joe Hisaishi would not be performing at a little theatre like this one... I would steer clear!!!

The sangria was ok, it didn't contain any fruit and lacked on the sangria taste I'm accustomed to. The food was really good, we all shared, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The flavor combos and food quality were on point. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening. I really wanted to try the ramen but I was already too hot. Next time we will come when its cooler out. Definitely recommend giving Rosewood Kitchen a try.

We were greeted and seated quickly, came on a Sunday around 8:30 pm…read more Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us suggestions that at first we thought were just him kinda talking the dishes up, but dang whoever is cooking in the kitchen knows what's up! lol They knew how to sear a steak better than most! and made some amazingly moist/juicy perfectly fried chicken! I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team. Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

Lots of people brought their own food (some with full on dinners and dessert). You can buy food there also. We had lots of fun. We'll definitely come back and see other shows. Fun, fun, fun, and laughs.
