    Great restaurant with a fabulous selection of fresh seafood. Lots of other menu items as well!! Their warm bread that they start you with is the best. Such an attentive staff!!! Large portions!! Large restaurant with lots of seating, but still recommended to make reservations. Beautiful views!!

    Had a girls' night out dinner at 333 Pacific and really enjoyed the overall experience. I'd personally give it a 4.5-stars. We arrived early for our reservation, so we walked the pier while we waited, and I appreciated that they texted us once our table was ready. One thing to note is they close on the earlier side at 9 p.m. The ambiance was really nice too -- definitely on the fancier side, but not so fancy that it felt stuffy or uncomfortable. We started with the hot sourdough bread and maple spice butter, which was addicting. I also ordered the wedge salad and liked that the blue cheese wasn't overly pungent. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and very tender, though I do wish it came out hotter since it was basically room temperature when served. The whipped potatoes were buttery and creamy, and the short rib was rich, flavorful, and fall-apart tender. The creamed spinach could've used more salt in my opinion. They were definitely heavy-handed on the spices as the spicy kick at the end caught me off guard. We ended the night with the flourless chocolate cake and wow... definitely worth the calories. Service was also great. Leo was attentive throughout the meal, and his team always made sure our waters stayed full. Solid spot for a girls' night or date night in Oceanside.

    ABSOLUTELY wonderful server named Nolan. He brought the entire experience to life and just made it so wonderful. superior accommodation and great conversation.

    333 Pacific was a solid four stars for me. While there were some things they excelled at, there were a few disappointments that detracted from the overall experience. One thing that was really stellar about 333 Pacific was we made reservations for their first time slot of the day at noon, and despite arriving about 12 minutes early before opening, we were still able to be seated. We drove nearly an hour to get here and it was pretty windy outside, so we appreciated the opportunity to be out of the elements. Our waitress was very nice and throughout our meal multiple staff assisted. No one ever missed a beat. They were all very pleasant and worked well together. You could tell the morale here is very high! We stared out with the calamari, which was- easily a 5 star dish! It was fried to perfection and the melange of sauces drizzled on top were *chefs kiss* excellent! Before our entree arrived they also brought out some piping hot Rosemary Bread Rolls along with some Maple Butter. I thought it was pretty good, but I wish the presence of the rosemary was dialed back so I could taste more of the Maple Butter. For an entree I had the Ahi Tuna Burger lunch special with fries. The seared Ahi Tuna was great and there was a very generous portion served on the burger. The Brioche bun was not very good though, and I feel the shallots on the burger were a bit overwhelming. The fries with the dish were good, but pretty standard fare. I would've preferred the option of a small green salad instead of fries if it was available. My husband ordered the Cioppino. I tried it and it was delicious- another 5 star dish! It had a very deep flavor and lots of seafood. A lot of work to get to some of the seafood, but well worth the effort. The main miss of the meal was my husband ordered a Dr. Pepper and it was flat. He let the waitress know and she went to another station to get a fresh one, and it too, was on the flat side. By this point, my husband just wanted water since the carbonation wasn't up to par. The waitress did a great job and really tried to fix the situation, but the carbonation just wasn't working. I had a Strawberry Lemonade which was fine, but could've used a little oomph for the $8 price tag. Another miss was the terrible smell in the women's restroom. It was either dry drain or some other plumbing issue, but it was pretty bad. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Overall, we did have a nice lunch here with a great view of the beach. The things that were amiss can easily be fixed, so I'm sure they are not permanent issues. Glad to have dined here, the staff really elevated the experience and made us feel very welcomed.

    Filet mignon with a little piece of salt on it I guess and mushroom risotto.

    It was just okay. Disappointed in the filet mignon. Got it medium rare but was still a bit chewy. Not much flavor. The mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and mushroom risotto were good though. The service was top notch and I like the blue-lit bar tops. I guess you're just paying for the location more than anything.

    I was recently invited to a dinner here. It's been a few years since I've been back due to the fact that I had a few experiences that left me disappointed. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to return. Surprisingly, I had a nice night. I had a great little salad that had a lot of flavor, even though it was very simple. I had the short rib, which was very good and quite filling to the point I couldn't even finish it. Much better than the last time I had it flavor wise and for dessert I had the sorbet special which was also good. It seems something has changed since my last visits and I would like to try it again to see if it wasn't just a good night.

    We came here to celebrate our twins 21st birthday. I'm quite glad we did! Our server was so sweet and he was very helpful on options for everyone. We ordered a couple appetizers (Mac and short ribs, Brussels and the ahi tartar) and was served pretty quickly and was tasty. We sat out on the patio and were able to people watch an enjoy the beautiful weather we were having. The air was fresh and ambience was great. My husband liked short tomahawk pork chop and said it was juicy and cooked perfectly. I had the branzino and it was perfectly cooked. Our twins received a complementary flourless chocolate birthday dessert, they liked that. It was sweet that everyone who passed wished our twins a happy birthday and so did the tables around us (super sweet). Staff was friendly from beginning to end. Can't wait to comeback for a girls HH and a walk on the pier.

    I've been to 333 Pacific on several occasions and finally wanted to write this legit review. It's located in the heart of downtown Oceanside by the Pier. This is the best location for amazing ocean views while dining. When I'm there, I feel welcomed. The staff are so friendly and very helpful at the same time being on top of the table service. Of course, the food is on another level...usually tastes really good. But, I did eat an eggnog bread pudding for dessert that was a bit on the dry side. Overall, I always enjoy 333 Pacific :-) FYI: It's recommended to make reservations.

    We had a great meal here last night for my birthday! We got the wedge salad, filet trio, and a ribeye and everything was sooooo good! The salad was super fresh and light and the meat was cooked exactly the way we asked for it! I would definitely come back.

    At first we made a reservation as it was a Friday and they said it might be busy. The staff was great in helping reserve an area since I had two people who needed assistance and had scooters.we ended up canceling and ordering take out to relax in the room. Again the staff was great about it and the order was exact. The food except for the burgers, just wasn't what we hoped for. The burgers came out perfect. High quality beef and the right temperature and thick. The fries were good but small portion. The Caesar salad was an ok size, but the dressing was thick and chunky and had a bad taste. The shareable ribs and mac, were not so shareable and the flavor was sub par. The key lime pie was awful. It was beyond bitter and lacked a lot. The only good thing about it was the crust and whipped cream. We can't say enough about how helpful and friendly the staff was, but very disappointed in the food. The food is the only reason we will not return.

    Beautiful day in Oceanside, sitting on the patio, overlooking the pier with plenty of people watching! The food was fabulous, the service was exceptional and hanging out with long time friends made it all the better. The Shrimp an crab Louie salad and the fish and chips were large portions and fresh. The fish on the fish and chips were hige pieces. We didn't finish anything we ordered. We also got a free birthday chocolate cake that was decedent! Highly recommend!!

    Berry Berry Cheesecake
    Rhiannon H.

    came for happy hour - big portions of food. Had the muscles, calamari, Brussels sprouts, Caesar salad & fries. Everything tasted fine! $10 plate for a large portion was reasonable. The berry berry cheesecake was my favorite. Service was quick and easy. It did start to pick up & get busy around dinner time (4:30) Street parking was super easy to find.

    Lobster bisque
    Diane T.

    Came in for happy hour which is served at the bar area from 3-6 at first come, first served. The ambience was really nice, what you would expect from a fine dining steak and seafood restaurant. Desiree was our server, super sweet and attentive. Ordered one of everything from the HH menu with the exception of the Brussel sprouts, which we're not huge fans of. At the advice of Desiree, we ordered 2 of the Lobster Bisque, but kind of wished we started with one, as the taste was not as expected (surprisingly), although the serving for one bowl was quite small; so it was understood why she suggested two for our family of 5. Although we're glad we listened to her when she advised us to just start with one of each of all the other dishes first, as I assumed these would all be smaller portions (tapas style), as we were pleasantly surprised at how large they were. The calamari was delicious, crispy and drizzled with a sweet chili citrus glaze, orange aioli and sesame. The Black mussels were in white wine, herbed garlic butter, leeks and shallots. We were so full already we barely touched the refreshing shrimp ceviche served with tostada, but did devour the crispy, tantalizingly seasoned Truffle Frites served with yummy ailoi, savory meatballs, and huge delicious caesar salad (best caesar I ever had, BTW). In addition to the HH menu items, we ordered the Short Rib Mac and cheese, and it was served with some crispy onion strings on top. I wished it had better flavor though. The whole dish lacked the savoriness and saltiness you crave from both the short rib and the mac and cheese. The other dish we ordered was the Glazed Crispy Pork Belly. We were expecting a crispy piece of pork, but instead received the exact opposite. No crispiness whatsoever, not even a little bit. It was served with some pickled red onions on top and slaw on the side. Interesting to say the least, and definitely unexpected, in not such a good way. With that much fattiness...it needed to be crispy. The chi chi was delicious and made me feel like I was in paradise...vodka, passionfruit, coconut, pineapple, lime. And my husband's margarita was a hit. Desiree brought us a beautiful, decadent dark chocolate cake dessert at the end of our meal...perks of VIP hotel guests... and we left happy and satisfied, wobbling out with full bellies. Amazing service and pretty good first experience! We'll be back next time we're in town and hope to have her as our server again!

    Ask the Community - 333 Pacific

    Do they allow dogs on the patio?

    No, the patio is kinda inside. I have never not once seen a dog inside the restaurant.

    Didn't see menu prices so went elsewhere. Hiding something?

    They have a menu with prices right outside their entrance. You can also see pictures of menu on Yelp reviews.

    Is there a dress code?

    Must wear shoes and shirt 🤣. Casual or dressy. Anything is fine.

    Is there drinks on the happy hour menu? I only see food on the website.

    Yes there were drinks when I was there in April.

    Is there a large room available for private parties?

    Yes!

    Are dogs allowed on patio?

    Hi Kim, 333 Pacific only allows service dogs on their patio area.… 

    Is this a ok place for kids?

    I think so since they have a variety of options. I do not believe that they have a kids menu however.

    What is the corkage fee?

    Hi Alyssa, 333's corkage fee is $20.… 

    Are they located by the pier?

    Yes!

    Can you eat anything at happy hour or is it a fixed menu? Can you make a reservation for the vodka lounge?

    They do have items on their menu that are priced differently for Happy Hour. As far as the Vodka Lounge I have just walked in, so I am not sure if they require a reservation.

    No champagne brunch?

    I believe they have A brunch on the weekends. Don't know about the Champagne though!

    Our 20th wedding anniversary was spent at our true guilty pleasure: Dija Mara…read more We would have loved to get everything on the menu but honestly we get stuffed really quickly and tried to stick with the perfected dishes: Grilled Roti with Lamb Jus Curry Sea Bream Ceviche Actually we noticed the menu didn't mention "Sea Bream" anymore and just said "Local Ceviche". Did they change fish? Tasted the same basically. Still amazing as always. We also tried some new dishes: Beef Tartare Chicken Thigh Skewers Green Curry Mussels The Beef Tartare was just okay. It's the only dish I probably would not ever order again. It wasn't bad, but compared to every other banger on the menu, it's last. Something has to be last. The Chicken Thigh Skewers were AMAZING! OMG, so much flavor in the chicken but the sauce really drove it overboard. Wow. These are a must try, you won't regret it. And lastly, the Green Curry Mussels blew us away. I love mussels and always order it whenever I see it on a menu. We devoured all of the mussels (and added the $9 Roti) and even got a container to-go to save the broth, lol. Truly another banger from Dija Mara. I really appreciate that the menu changes periodically without removing the veteran dishes we continue to enjoy. Just want to mention something besides the culinary spectacles. Dija Mara's decor is every bit as memorable as its food. The artwork isn't an afterthought--it's part of the experience. The dining room manages to feel both trendy and intimate at the same time, while the graffiti-covered back wall adds a playful, street-art feel that contrasts beautifully with the polished food and cocktails. The result is a space that feels creative, unpretentious, and genuinely cool. The industrial concrete and reclaimed wood elements give it a modern edge, while the Indonesian-inspired art creates a sense of place that feels completely unique in North County. This is really our happy place and I hope it never changes.

    What a disappointment. I had high expectations due to the Michelin bib Gourmand award, but the…read moreflavors fell extremely short. The restaurant was fairly empty although Resy wouldn't take reservations. Plenty of bar seating. The service was fair, not particularly warm or engaging, which was fine. The food was alluring and beautiful, but the flavors were salty, flat, and mushy. Starting with the Paloma, it was nothing special. Just something you could get with a well happy hour special. Serviceable but unremarkable. Very Instagrammable, however. The pork belly was nicely charred and had nice bite sized morsels on the skewer, good texture, but the sauce was very salty, almost bitter. Forced myself to eat the 2nd skewer, but could not push through the last 2. In contradistinction, the beef rendang was almost bland, like a microwaveable peanut butter Hormel beef stew, and the cardinal sin - the rice underneath was mushy. That was what sealed the nail on the coffin. Bland, albeit tender short rib, on top of smushy rice. Dead. I barely ate one of the 2 pieces of ribs and couldn't do more. The staff wanted to see if I wanted a take out container. When you see a customer that disengaged with the food, you'd better be wary. Being Asian, I don't like to waste food, but when it's so not good, I'd rather walk away and get something else than to finish a terrible meal. Many diners have a millennia of choices in this price point. Sadly, not sure how this restaurant got recognition because it's half as delicious as your typical neighborhood Thai restaurant. Banana Leaf at the Original farmers market in LA is better, though humble and homely. Just very disappointing. Hope it was an off night and that others have a better experience.

    I had gotten an email wishing me a happy birthday and to come in for a FREE ENTREE. I was like,…read morewhat!? Yeah a lot of places give a free dessert but you almost never see a free dinner. I instantly set a reservation (didn't really need it) and we arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and sat on the patio. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm and if you sit on the recently renovated patio, drinks are 50% off. I ordered the Ribeye as my birthday entree and we also ordered the Fried Zucchini ($7), Popcorn Chicken ($9), Guajillo Braised Pork Shoulder ($21) and several cocktails ($7 each during HH). Everything was great honestly. No complaints. My wife REALLY loved the braised pork shoulder. My steak was excellent and even though it was free, $32 for a ribeye is the lowest you'll find anywhere. It was nice having not having to fight for a seat. Enjoying a cocktail on the patio in perfect weather is something everyone should try. Highly recommend coming to Mission Ave Bar & Grill for happy hour and to check out the new patio. Make sure to register for their mailing list to get birthday offers too!

    Mission Ave Bar and Grill is basically the type of place that says, "just one drink," and suddenly…read moreit's three hours later, you've made new friends, and you're emotionally attached to the Peanut butter stuffed french toast. From the juicy breakfast Burger to the dangerously good country benefit and spicy blood orange, everything feels a little too easy to fall in love with. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it feel like your favorite neighborhood hangout -- even if it's your first time there. Honestly, if good food, great cocktails, and happy vibes had a love language... this place would be fluent. What I got: Peanut butter stuffed french toast $16 Country Benedict $17 Breakfast burger $18 Arnold Palmer Spicy blood orange $10

    Outstanding Dining Experience in Carlsbad!…read more We booked a large group reservation here during our Carlsbad/Legoland trip, and the team was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The ambiance was absolutely fantastic, delivering a polished, fine-dining experience with very reasonable pricing. The meal was overall delicious, and while there are already plenty of five-star reviews, a few specific details stood out to us: The Starters Excelled: We actually found the creative appetizers and starters to be the absolute highlight of the meal (my favorite was the oysters but everyone had their own!) , even outshining the more expensive entrees (notably the steak which was a little underwhelming, though the fish was good). The Famous Broccoli Lives Up to the Hype: Yes, the roasted broccoli was truly exceptional! Superb Drinks & Kid-Friendly Touches: The craft cocktails were delicious, and we appreciated that they are highly accommodating to families with a dedicated kids' menu. Room for Dessert Improvement: The only miss of the night was the baked Alaska, which we didn't particularly love. I think I would try the Smores and/or head over to the nearby ice cream shop for another local flavor. Overall, it is a wonderful, highly versatile restaurant that we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We can't wait to return!

    I really like that campfire works towards shareable meals, where everyone can have a bite of food…read moreand try new things. I would say campfire focuses on flavor blasts, with enhancement of the food through certain garnishes and sauces. The portions are not very large, but they are filling depending on how many different items you get. Our server was very kind and helped guide us on our journey. We had an outdoor table around 6:15 PM and it was absolutely gorgeous. Inside seemed nice too, but I did enjoy outside more due to the calmer and quieter atmosphere. I would highly recommend trying this place out with a group of four.
