    Choppino
    Stephen S.

    Located at a golf resort, the ambience was nice and there was live entertainment on a Friday night. It was busy but not overly crowded with large groups. Service was average, but we were checked on and the wait was not overly long. Our meal of Calimari and Choppino was good and didn't have any issues, but would not be considered gourmet. The location was the best reason for stopping there as it is convenient to local Wineries and the Pala Casino.

    Grilled Tuscan Chicken Sandwich

    Not worth your time. Only option within the Pala Mesa Resort, so it's not like you'd have much of a choice if you're here golfing or staying at the hotel. Ordered our food and it took almost 40 minutes to arrive, even though there was quite literally 5 other people sitting down here. The food wasn't bad but nothing special. We ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH, CRISPY CHICKEN SANDWICH, & PRIME RIB DIP SANDWICH.

    Decent place to stay if having a wedding in fallbrook like what we did. Frequented the restaurant often for breakfast lunch and dinner. I liked the steak and eggs even though the steak was much smaller the second day. Happy hour had good deals and the service was solid. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here but a great option for staying at the resort

    Avocado Toast
    Thea M.

    I would much rather golf than eat here. Disappointed that my avocado toast did not use fresh cut avocado, more of a paste. The pickled radish tasted old and the bread was not even toasted. I asked for the egg and feta on the side. I do not recommend the avo toast. The service was pretty slow for early Saturday morning, but the views of the golf course are nice.

    Terrible! The champagne was flat, and turned into vinagar taste. They replalced with a new one and better. However, the kobe hamburger was cold and completely RAW! Waitress returned 45 minutes later after others had already eaten. The fries were so salty that it was clear there must have been an accidental pour. The manager sat at a table and drank three wines, and two of the waitresses stood in front of our table dancing, preventing us from watching the concert. The kicker, they charged us for full price for a meal that was absolutely inedible. Yep, $60.00, for that lovely experience and pray I dont get sick. On a good note, it was Holloween, and the band was absolutely incredible! ​​

    Dined here on 12/15 at 4pm. Nice ambiance. Female could have been a little more outgoing and not so shy. You could tell she just wanted to take the order and go. She seemed nervous. Baked avocado was ok. I wanted to try it because it seemed interesting and different, but I would not order it again. There was nothing that wowed me with the flavor. The rest of the food was good and tasty. Brussel sprouts are delicious.

    Inside the restaurant

    The restaurant is inside the hotel in the Golf course. The view is beautiful. If you want to relax and have drinks with friends this is a nice place. The alcohol drinks are great. The bar tender makes them strong. The food I do not recommend. We waited around 30-40 mins to get our food. The food had no flavor. Recommend this place only for Drinking and golfing but not for food.

    Spaghetti Squash with pancetta, pomegranate seeds, and balsamic reduction. A must!
    Phifer C.

    I was hesitant because of the recent reviews, but since we were staying at the hotel, and it was raining, we thought we'd try it. LOVED IT! Everything was delicious - squash, steak, drinks, and BRUSSELS (and I'm a connoisseur!). I never leave reviews but felt compelled to. Monica, our sever, is a jewel. Several regulars came to say hello to her while we were eating.

    We love Aquaterra Restaurant! We come here every time we are in town! This is our second time we have Andi. She is over the top with attentiveness, kindness and the food is always fabulous!

    Average at best and spendy. The staff was nice but the good was small and bland. The scallops were a particular dudsapoinment.

I loved the tuna salad, made just like my Mom. They have plenty of parking and outdoor/indoor dining. There is a nice grocery store next door which sells local wines and a little boutique near by(only open Sat & Sun. There is also a small park just in the area so you have choices all around you! I'm sure to go back again. If you get hung up in traffic off the 15 take the Mission/Fallbrook exit and it's right off the old 395 hwy. Worth the stop. I want to try their Prime Rib Special after 4! Oh one more thing, if you use a CC you will pay a fee, but if you use a debit card and of course cash, No Charge

You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.
