I thought Dragon's Den was SOO MUCH fun! So it's been like over 10 years since my family and I have…read morebeen to the Legoland California hotels. The last time we stayed at Legoland hotel, but this time, our room was booked for the Legoland Castle Hotel. The breakfast buffet at Dragon's Den is included in the stay. We ended up eating here for breakfast twice! We could of ate a third time, but we did leave early on the third day so we could drive up to Disneyland and make rope drop! Each day, we did book a reservation through OpenTable for Dragon's Den, for a party of three. This made check in A LOT easier! There was still a long line to get inside for breakfast, but as soon as you went to the register, once you provided the reservation, we immediately had a seat. The interior of Dragon's Den is pretty cool. I liked seeing all of the Lego pieces, especially the Lego Knights. There was a ton of breakfast options too! There were multiple breakfast buffet stations with the following Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Bagels, breads, muffins, fruit (sliced), and whole like bananas, potatoes, and more. There was multiple self service soda machines, breakfast bowls, build your own yogurt style station and more. This was like a great option before going to the Legoland park. The nice thing about staying on property was the 30 minute early access. We ended up eating breakfast both times and then went straight to the early access line! It was a cool restaurant.

This place is nice looking, kids will probably enjoy it. When we went, it was for lunch, and it was…read moremostly empty. Our server was pretty cool, gave off a good vibe. No complaints on service.

I had a draft pilsner, and my husband had a key lime martini which was delicious! Neither too sweet or too tart. We were seated inside in a booth by a window with a gorgeous view of the Pacific. They also have a lovely patio, but we opted for inside due to the heat. Our server, Micheline, immediately made us feel comfortable with great recommendations. The starters came out faster than we expected and were excellent. The mushroom dip was not what we expected. It was thick & rich with a little heat. Very yummy! It was served with fried bread that made a great vehicle for sopping it up. We got one wedge salad (which they split for us). Very fresh, crisp veggies. Generous servings of cheese & bacon. My hubby who does not normally like ranch dressing enjoyed it as much as I did. Our entrees came out quickly as well. I got the sea bass. It was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich & had a kick. My husband raved about his cioppino as some of the best he's had. Throughout the meal, Micheline was attentive without hovering, joked with us, and made us feel truly welcome. She raised an already outstanding meal to new heights. We didn't have room for dessert, so we'll have to visit again to try out the sweets. The entire experience from the bar to the final check was phenomenal. We will be back and will recommend it to all our friends.

It's an amazing oceanfront restaurant across from South Carlsbad State Beach. Best ceviche we've ever had! The sourdough bread is to die for! Our entrées which were salmon and Chilean Seabass were cooked to mouth-watering perfection! Of course the views were insane! To top it off our waitress, JILL was thoroughly delightful! Happy and knowledgeable and so much fun... She clearly loves her job! She was so attentive to us, we felt like we were the only diners there. :-) And she really knows her stuff! Pretty hilarious when we found out that my name is JILL, too, as we rarely meet many JILLs. We hit it off famously! Not only because the food was outstanding, and plated beautifully, but because of JILL we are definitely going back! And if you go----I mean WHEN go---you ask for her!

Good game day crowd, lots of fresh air and natural light with the open air design. Nothing impressive as far as game day specials , best option was bucket of 5 Michelob Ultras for $25, normally priced at $6 bottle for a slight savings. Service was a bit slow, understandable given the crowd. Hostess Campbell and our server Brian were both very friendly and helpful. We ordered the blackened mahi sandwich and some kombucha's. Prices were average and the food was better than bar food, we would go back. In our opinion this is one of the better places to watch sports in DT Oceanside. Street parking only, so be prepared to walk a little. Establishment is clean and ADA accessible. I did not see anyone with dogs, however, there are two patio seating options.

Food: Food is good enough for family and is priced reasonably. My kid had the burger and fries and it was standard. The fries were nice and crispy though and thick (not soggy). I had the healthier fare which consisted of grains and chickpeas and it was definitely healthy and filling. We also ordered the fries with cheese and bacon (obviously this is why I ordered the healthy entree) and, again, the fries were crispy and thick. The bacon and the cheese and sour cream enhanced the saltiness of the fries and it was overall very filling.

From our fantastic server who was beautiful inside and out, to the wait staff and the management who helped us with our reservation and checked in to see how our experience was, we were blown away with how special they made us feel and how attentive they were. One of the members of our dining party has a food allergy and the staff went above and beyond to ensure they acknowledged her allergy and she felt comfortable and safe. Our group wanted to try several things so we all shared several items. We had the grilled shrimp and burrata to start, both super tasty and savory, but the stars of the show were the Parker House rolls and honey butter- OMG!! Must try. The Pappardelle (clearly fresh and made from scratch) with meat sauce was really delicious as well along with ice cream and cookies for dessert. Highly recommend this place and plan to go back sometime.

Great Spot for Drinks, But Pricey…read more We didn't actually have a meal at 20|Twenty, so I can't really comment on the food, but we did stop in for drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a beautiful, comfortable place to sit, relax, and have a drink, and the service was good. The one disappointment was the coffee. For a restaurant at this level--and at these prices--I expected the coffee to be much better. Overall, everything is definitely on the expensive side, which is somewhat expected at a resort, but you definitely notice it. One funny thing we noticed: the sign above the door appears to be backwards and reads "Twenty|20" instead of "20|Twenty." It's a small detail, but once you notice it, you can't really unsee it! Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would give it four stars based on the atmosphere, drinks, and service. I'd come back for cocktails, but probably look elsewhere for my morning coffee.

"Ooh, well, I've got a girl with a record machine When it…read morecomes to rockin' she's the queen But she lives on the 20th floor uptown The elevator's broken down" (Eddie Cochrane) 20|Twenty is the house restaurant at the Westin Carlsbad. You can enter it direct from the hotel lobby or via an exterior entrance close to the main hotel entrance. It features a large and beautiful dining room, stylish bar and ample seating outside to enjoy the outstanding Southern California weather. We had two breakfasts here. We ordered off the menu on day one and ate outside, and we ordered their Weekend buffet ($25) on day two and ate inside. Both breakfasts were made extra special by our wonderful server Digna. We were so lucky to enjoy her fun personality, engagement, and overall charm on both mornings. On Day One, I ordered something I had seen on menus for years, but never tried before. My Chilaquiles ($22) were" a savory bowl of Boraccho beans, queso fresco, avocado, eggs, red onion, bathed in a guajillo chile sauce". I thanked Digna who taught me how to pronounce it. I loved the taste- the sauce and the tortilla wedges, sliced avocado, and egg. What a feast. On Day Two I went with the buffet and went straight to the big pile of smoked salmon, red onion slices, chive cream cheese and mini bagels. The salmon was high quality thinly sliced, just the way we like it. The buffet also had everything you want in a buffet- hot dishes, pastries, yogurt, and fruit. The fruit was great-plenty of watermelon, assorted melons, and berries. I did find it odd that when I went to toast my bagel, I saw they only had one toaster with four slots. Unfortunately, the two left slots did not work, so restaurant patrons were lining up to toast their breads one at a time. I mentioned this to one of the staff, and his response was "Yeah, we know." Anyway, that indifferent reaction was more than counterbalanced by the fantastic food and Digna's 1,000-watt personality. And what's the origin of Digna's unique name? I asked her and she said her mother named her after a street in her home town.
