Service was great! I love the sweet chilli calamari for the start the sauce is so yummy and the calamari wasn't chewy but pretty soft. Then I got scallops with wild mushroom, scallops was good. Also, iron flat steak was great. read more

The restaurant was fully booked but we took our chances and walked in. The front lounge/bar area is first come first serve and my family was lucky to snag a few tables together and seat the 7 of us including an infant. The hostess set it up and had us seated right away. It was as chaotic as you can imagine with an infant and hungry toddler but our server was very attentive and accommodating. She took our order and brought out the kid's food first (lobster bisque and mac n cheese). Then the main food came out, a variety of meats, some scallops, and a seafood tower. All the food came out delicious. One medium-well steak came out pretty raw and they kindly put it back on the grill. The brownie sundae was warm and tasty too. Great food with wonderful service. read more

Went on a first date here. He put his name and phone number in and told us a table should be ready latest 7:15 pm and they'll text us. We never received a text, came inside and got sat at a table outside. Was given the menus and about 10 minutes later got water and bread. We waited for another 50 minutes expecting to see a server come over to us soon. After an hour we decided to leave because no one spoke to us or even acknowledged we were there. Definitely will never be going back here. Ended up going to another place to get food :( read more

Going to start with a caveat here...Have had hit and miss times. Today was a big hit!!! Bro got the tastiest steak sando with perfect fries. BIL got the ahi Nicoise salad and Wow!! My Green Goddess salad was completely underwhelming (not taking off a star...I'm sure if I said something, it would've been rectified). Affogato dessert shared by three could've easily been ordered by each of us and yummed up. But, after all we had, including the just out of the oven rosemary bread with maple butter....Well, we were well sated. Thank you, Kelsey and all for the attentive service! read more

Drove 40m for lunch at 333 Pacific. Reviewed the menu on our drive. Our order from the menu was two 333 greens, both with grilled chicken. After taking our order, the server returned & stated that the restaurant had no chicken available at all. How can a restaurant advertise an item, how can a restaurant not have any chicken at all? As a result our server offered substitutions and we went with steak on one & grilled shrimp on the other. When the bill arrived, the "adds" were $15.95 & $16.50 (3 pieces of Shrimp). This was on top of the greens of $15.50 each. These adds were a bit excessive especially considering that the restaurant did not have what was advertised. Well, lesson learned & we will explore other nearby restaurants going forward. read more

We had Easter there and the food was very good! Tasty soup, crudo, steaks. The only prix fixe dessert we cared for was the shortcake - weird dessert options. Server and busser were super friendly. The only reason it's 4 stars in our opinion is the food and drinks took forever to come out. We were one of first seated when it opened and 20 mins to get out 5 specialty drinks on their Easter menu--surprised they didn't have them mixed and ready. Another 20 for first course. 30 for main after that. 25 for dessert. Shocked how slow the kitchen was with no apologies at any point. Wouldn't return given how long it took to dine but we had a nice Easter. We also bought a $300 bottle of wine and at no point did that up the level of service or speed for a table dropping that much cash--which was about the price of five lunches. read more

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is impeccable. The service is amazing and the ambience well who doesn't like being next to the beach everything was perfect for my birthday lunch.. my husband and I shared oysters and a half shell and I love that they great the horseradish instead of giving you horseradish that is jarred. The chard octopus was delicious and goes very well with the andouille sausage and if you're looking for some amazing savory grits look no further probably the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. Our server was perfect. She never made us wait for refills and was extremely knowledgeable about everything that we ordered. read more

We made reservations for Christmas Day and we had an exceptional experience. The table service and food was phenomenal. The staff were very helpful and always checked on us. Everyone enjoyed their food choices. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop, it was very tender and grilled perfectly. The seafood paella had plenty of assorted seafood and was delicious. Our kids enjoyed the salmon but the portions were on the petit side. Can't wait to come back. We highly recommend trying their menu. Side note-Bring change for the metered parking and there is a parking lot behind the hotel. read more

Had a very enjoyable meal here yesterday. Staff were really friendly, food and drinks were great and the ambiance just right.

Pros: Walked in and got instantly greeted and sat right away. It was Wednesday evening so it wasn't busy whatsoever. Our table was spacious and intimate. We couldn't hear the table across or next to us so it was nice. Cons: being in the service industry for many many years I tend to be very lenient and understanding when it comes to service. I make notice of restaurant flow, how busy it is, how big the servers sections might be along with how busy it is. I never expect anyone to be me or do how I would. This being said, service was quite slow and no personality. Our server basically brought drinks, which took a while, took order, Stopped by once and dropped off the check. Very robotic. When coming to the upscale restaurant and being ready to spend a couple hundred dollars I expect better service, more personable and much better food. We got lobster, ribeye and the sides it came with. No flavor at all. The mashed potatoes tasted, looked and felt like they were at least a day old. We were so hungry because we were anticipating our date all day so we didn't make a fuss and just wanted to be on our way. The server came by once before we could really get into our food to ask how it was. We said fine because we hadn't really eaten it yet. He didn't walked by again so we could say anything more. It was such a disappointment all around. I felt like none of the money spent was worth it. I'm not one to write negative reviews but rather enjoy writing positive where deserved. However, this experience was so disappointing and I feel like we wasted our money. We won't be returning and unfortunately won't recommend to anyone. read more

This is our new favorite place! The food and drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is superb. We were lucky to have the same server twice. Allison went above and beyond and was such a nice person. She deserves recognition for sure! We will be back!!! read more

Well, up until two years ago we always had our Christmas Eve dinner at 333. At that time, the service began to falter and the food was not great. We had the worst night ever for the highest prices on 12/24/2023 and decided to never go again. Two years later, a friend came into town and wanted to go there so we begrudgingly went. We are so glad!!! Whatever has happened with management and the Chef has turned this place into a mecca for dining. The service was impeccable from the hostess to the food server to the bus support to the food delivery. Every person had a smile and was ready to ensure our evening when without a hitch. The bartender team was unbelievable: offering whatever they could to make sure we had the drinks we wanted. The bartender's suggestion for chardonnay was perfect. The food? Unreal. My friend and I had the salmon and another had the waygu beef burger. Each item was so delectable and expertly plated, I was truly in awe. The first thing I said was, "I gotta get home so I can update my review." Thank you, 333! You turned this group around in their opinion and I do believe we will see you on Christmas Eve to reignite a long-standing tradition in our family. Kudos to all!!! read more

TRANSPARENCY. HONESTY. INTEGRITY This is literally the most important business practice. Extremely disappointed that they didn't disclose the surcharge BEFORE we sat down. We came for a pre Thanksgiving dinner 9 of us and this ruined our evening. It's not about the cost it's about the honesty. Don't tell me AFTER the bill comes and give me some BS excuse. Very disappointed/upset with this POOR practice especially from a prestigious location. The worst part you know who suffers? The workers. Because some customer won't even leave a tip even though it's not the waiting staffs fault. Maybe try being HONEST and I can guarantee your customers will appreciate it and more of your staff will be tipped accordingly! UNACCEPTABLE! read more

Food was executed well but this restaurant doesn't stand out. Decor was very outdated and doesn't complement the incredible views you get of the pier and ocean. The architecture also blocks most of the views if you are sitting inside. To get the views you need to sit on the covered patio. When you first walk in it feels more like a sports bar than a fancy restaurant. The place really needs a refresh. The food was good and the menu decent, I just wasn't wowed. We started with the chili calamari which was good but I'd prefer the sauce on the side as it is very mayo heavy. The bread was good but the flavored butter wasn't. For dinner we had the filet trio that was cooked perfectly. As a side we ordered the corn and pepper risotto which was more pepper flavor than corn so I was a little disappointed. By far the star of the meal was the butter cake for dessert- that was phenomenal and a must get. Overall the food was a 3.5-4 the ambiance a 2.5-3. It's good not great and if you are lucky you'll get a seat with a decent view. That restaurant should be all windows and the decor needs to feel lighter, it was so hotel decor circa 1990. Service was great. They have a nice happy hour menu and crowd and I'd recommend coming for that. You will get a good meal here but not necessarily a "wow" experience- which I was expecting at this price point. read more

The food and service were amazing. Our server's name was Cassie and she was just delightful. The issue was the ambiance, there was a sports game on and the people in the bar made the restaurant sound like a sports bar. read more

Everything about our experience was outstanding! We made reservations for our anniversary (we did not pay the extra fee for the special touches such as the rose petals) however everyone wished us a happy anniversary. Our server Alania (I'm sure I destroyed the spelling) was such a joy! She was a highlight of our experience. My favorite thing about 333 Pacific was the alcohol free drink section. I felt so excited to have my Melon Mojito mocktail, it was so delicious! I ordered the watermelon burrata salad (wow!) and the seared scallops (the corn risotto was the star of my meal) it was all amazing! My husband had the cowboy ribeye and he really enjoyed it. The little touches on the dishes were not overlooked, like the pistachio brittle on the salad or the jalapeños in the corn risotto. We sat just as the sun was setting and it was a beautiful view. We look forward to returning! read more

We came here for wife's birthday dinner celebration. Was debating between Steak & Seafood for 2 or the Chef's Boards, we looked around our neighbors' tables and the Chef's boards looked very appetizing so we went for the Pacific board. We also ordered the charred octopus which is absolutely delicious, it is so tender and well seasoned, with bits of andouille sausage makes it even better. The chipotle glazed pork belly is very nice as well. The iceberg lettuce is huge portion, but the blue cheese dressing is kind of lite tasting wish it has more bit to it. On to the meats, my favorite was the fillets, sooo tender. Usually, I am a ribeye guy all the way but the fillet is better than the ribeye, my least favorite is the pork chop, nicely cooked but tough next to those two beef. The chimichurri sauce is nice accompaniment to the meats. Our waitress was very nice and prepared nice birthday cupcake for my wife. It was a wonderful dinner, the only drawback is the food came a little bit slow. read more

We always celebrate our anniversary or birthdays at this restaurant and absolutely love the food, the service, everything! But last Sunday, we went there to celebrate our anniversary and mentioned the occasion, not only in our reservation made online, but to the people who seated us. The nice woman who seated us told us she would make a note of it on our reservation. Usually, they offer a small dessert to help celebrate, but nothing was offered. Not only that, the two tables who were seated long after us were waited on first and we were waited on third. We received our food later than they did. None of it made sense. Don't get me wrong. The food was absolutely delicious, the servers were very kind, but sadly, it wasn't the same special experience we've had in the past. FOOD: I can highly recommend the 333 meatloaf, 333 greens salad, the incredible rolls they serve with maple butter, the grilled mushrooms which were spectacular, and the s'mores dessert, which was mind blowingly good. read more

Came in as a six top for my sister's graduation. Ambiance was well lit and the restaurant felt spacious with a large bar not feeling cramped. Food was amazing. We shared oysters and had enough surf and turf to leave well fed. Server was awesome and attentive. Checked in at the right times, and the person I assumed was the GM did a last minute touch to see how everything was. They even brought out a "Congratulations" bread pudding for my sister with the word written in chocolate! Definitely recommend for anyone celebrating in Oceanside. read more

We tried this place for the first time last week. The hostess needs to work on her customer service skills. First impression comes from the hostess. Is she inviting or in the wrong position. I liked the atmosphere. The bartender was very friendly and engaging. He helped us make decisions about the menu since it was our first time. We chose the lobster bisque, Caesar salad and the fillet trio. The lobster bisque was delicious. It was however on the like ward side. The salad greens were wilted. The fillet trio was fantastic. The meat was very flavorful. I had the house Chardonnay. It was nice. My husband had a martini which was equally good. The check had 5% additional fee to offset high costs. We didn't notice the disclosure on the menu but I am sure it was just overlooked because a disclosure is required. My husband and I are not fond of these types of charges. Our bill was $159.00 for two people not including tip. Upon our exit, my husband wished the hostess a good evening and said thank you. She could barely eek out a smile. We decided we might give this place another try. Minus one star for cranky hostesses and one for the surcharge. read more

333 Pacific - Came in for a lunch time pink lady martini use to taste like a pink starburst but now just taste like I sucked on 3 lemons! - Steakhouses Near Me - Oceanside, California

Wow, this place is amazing!! Right by Oceanside beach, this was a beautiful restaurant that we were able to dine at last minute in the bar area. Their bar area is huge, and they have actual tables with chairs so you don't have to sit at a high top which allowed us to experience the restaurant without feeling like we are just at the "bar". We found this place nearby, and I was excited cause I saw Sushi in a promoted picture, but they do NOT have sushi. They still have seafood and steaks but I was really excited for sushi. The closest thing to that however was their Ahi Tuna tartare which was pretty good, but I also saw a picture of this big square of tuna tartare and the one I received did not look like that, so heads up some pictures/ menu items you see may be outdated! They welcomed us with their rosemary bread with maple butter which was delicious and all the appetizers were very good. The lobster bisque was a little big though, if you plan to eat a lot, I wish they had a cup size instead of a large bowl. We actually got very full off of appetizers, the pork belly was phenomenal, and the skewers were very filling as well. The waitress raved about the garlic smashed potatoes, but they did not look like the smash potatoes I know, they were just cubed and very garlicky but still good. The service was great though, our waitress was very sweet and helped us celebrate a special occasion. Will likely return when we are in town, but I would've loved it they kept the sushi on the menu (= read more

The Cohn group really doesn't disappoint. This restaurant sits right across from the pier with gorgeous ocean views and a cozy interior. Seating is available outside and in, with tables and booths and a ton of comfortable bar seating as well. We went for lunch. There are a variety of specials, including a delicious shrimp & grits. I ordered a salad and the server offered to split it for us. The split portion was very generous in size and - if you like a Wedge, this one is so cronchy with ice cold lettuce and the perfect amount of dressing, bacon and !onion strings! There is bread service with a warm rosemary roll and maple butter. It was hard to not just shove the whole thing into my face. So delicious. Our server - I can't recall her name but she is from close to SLO and we had a nice conversation about the mid-coast - she was absolutely perfect. If you want to go for a special lunch or dinner in O-side, head to 333. read more

Wonderful food & fabulous service. It was suggested by our server to split the baby iceberg wedge salad & she was correct. Splitting the salad is still a nice size side salad. The seared Maine scallops were cooked perfectly. The New York strip steak was cooked perfectly and also a huge portion. Black salmon with gnocchi was also very good. The flourless chocolate cake for dessert was a perfect ending to our meal and not too sweet. Great dining experience we hope to be back soon. read more

333 Pacific was so good. We came here because it was near our hotel and it definitely did not disappoint. We ordered the steak and sea for 2 (ribeye, lobster tails, roasted garlic and herb potatoes, onions, and mushrooms), caesar salad, chipotle glazed pork belly, charred octopus, o-side cioppino, and herb grilled artichoke. My favorite was the pork belly and octopus. The ribeye and lobster tails were so good too. Everything was seasoned so well and I loved the plating of all of the dishes. The servers were very friendly and was very attentive to the things we needed. Loved this restaurant and definitely will be back when I come back to Oceanside!! read more

Food was excellent, everything was hot and presentation was exceptional. Wait staff was attentive - Waitress Jordan and manager Chris were very nice to ensure my grandaughter's 18th birthday was very special In spite of it being extremely crowded; the staff was very attentive and alert to our needs. In spite of the ever increasing fog we could see the ocean from our seats at the long side bar. It was overall a really fun experience! This is our second family celebration there and we will definitely do this again! read more

I have been coming to 333 Pacific for what feels like my whole adult life. It's been for an Anniversary, meet up for a drink and then walk the pier, business dinner - all the things. Dress code is business casual. There are a lot of special occasions here so I would recommend you be respectful of that and not ruin someone's special day by dressing down. It's fancy but not stuck up. This last time I made a resi for a table of 12 for work a few months ahead of time. I had to call because the website doesn't accommodate a reservation of that size. They were nice and I got a text confirmation the same day which out me at ease. The day of the reservation we had an extra person join us and the staff accommodated by squeezing us in to the corner booth. It got a little warm but it was great. The service was grand all around. Everyone's order was perfect and drinks were quick and delish. The bread is like a rye but served with a maple butter - very unique. Bathrooms here are really nice. I love the free underground parking especially on a hot day. I have tried everything on the menu except the oysters. The only thing that's not amazing is the artichoke - really hard to share too. Everything else is incredibly delish and portions are generous. This time we had Brussel sprouts, Mac n cheese, calamari, lobster bisque, wedge salads and then 13 entrees of course. Short rib is divine, can't go wrong with the filet trio, blackened salmon is great. I feel like this is just a solid go-to place that you know will get it right if you make a reservation. read more

What a perfect place for an anniversary dinner. 333 Pacific had extras you can add to your celebration with champagne and rose petals. We opted for the surf and turf platter which was impressively large. The steak was cooked perfect and the lobster tails were delicious! We subbed out the potatoes for smashed potatoes which were delicious! Can I also say their complimentary bread is the best bread I've ever had at a restaurant! It came out steaming hot and the herb maple butter was such a great pairing. We also had the crudo special and it was done with such unique flavor combos. Apples, kiwi, mushrooms with some tajin. James, our server was fantastic in recommending various dishes and he was attentive during our whole meal at all the right times. The ambience is great, lighting was perfect, and each booth our table felt very private while we enjoyed dinner. We would definitely come back here and get the surf and turf platter again! read more

I celebrated my birthday here last Sunday. I have to say, the weather was perfect, the service was great, and food was delicious. It wasn't very busy when we got there but more guests showed up as we were near the end of our early dinner. Now for the food. We shared the calamari and octopus appetizers and both were excellent! I ordered the blackened salmon. Someone else in our party had the filet trio and another the New York Strip. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food. I was even surprised with a delicious dessert for my bday! We all finished off dinner with a cappuccino and that was very good as well. I, unfortunately did not take any photos as we were all so busy eating and enjoying our food. I can't wait to come out and try their lunch menu. The shrimp and grits sound amazing! read more

I come in this restaurant regularly for a drink or two. The usual guys working the bar are always great and clearly work well together, but this time there was some new guy who I've never seen before. It was clear that he was completely throwing off the usual flow (seemed like maybe a new manager? Because he wasn't making any drinks). All I could take from it is that there was obvious micromanaging going on and was all up in the other employees space- which made me extremely uncomfortable and tense while trying to enjoy my drink. I could tell other guests were wondering what was going on too. Just wasn't a good vibe like it has been every other time I've been there, and quite frankly I felt really bad for the bartenders. read more

I'll start with the positives: The location is wonderful. The place settings were nice and top notch for fine dining. Our service was great! We went with a group of 6 adults and only one of the six thoroughly enjoyed their meal (they ordered the scallops). The rest of the group got different cuts of steak and none of us were overly impressed. I myself got the NY Strip, Oscar Style, so my steak alone was over $80... it was not worth that at all to me. The steak and the Oscar topping lacked flavor and tenderness. The other steaks ordered also lacked a lot of flavor. One of our group folks got the short rib Mac & cheese and it was actually pretty tasty. The highlight of the evening was the complimentary birthday dessert - it was delicious!! Overall, it was a mediocre dinner but wonderful service and atmosphere. We likely won't be back simply because of the $400 tab that didn't seem worth it to the group. read more
