They recently updated their seating as well, to super comfortable seats. The food was really good as well! We had the shareable fondue, the prosciutto flatbread, the quesadilla, and one of their salads, and the food was delicious! Overall recommend this spot, but really wish they would add service or bring back the QR codes to order from the table. Plus you can't beat that gorgeous view of the beach and palm trees.

Delicious breakfast! I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich and WOW, so good!…read more They don't open until 7am, which for me wasn't ideal, but we were seated promptly. Our server was so sweet and did a great job. My only hangup was that we were a little pressed for time so assumed getting in there first we would be able to get in and out for quickly, but it was still a 45 minute breakfast from start to finish. The menu, service and location are second to none though. A must check out!

Today is Mother's Day, and my husband, one year old, and I had reservations for Mother's Day brunch at 8:45am. Mornings don't always go as planned with toddlers, so we arrived at 9am. The young hostess was very rude and let us know they can't seat us as the next wave of the brunch buffet is starting at 10:30am and that they're setting up for it. I pleaded and asked if we could eat really quickly and be in and out of there in 30 min. They harshly said no and were not understanding at all. I was pretty bummed they couldn't accommodate us, especially on Mother's Day when they could clearly see I was holding my toddler and we just wanted to get him fed. Unfortunately, due to their lack of customer service, we will not be retuning. I guess there's a reason no locals come and only hotel guests eat here. Very different vibe in customer service than the Alila Marea down the street which I would highly recommend instead for better service, views, and food. You guys lost some once-loyal, local customers!

Friday and Saturday nights can be quite busy, but that is to be expected. I love to go here for The Lounge alone, without stopping in Harney's, but it's a great place to go when waiting to be seated at Harney's. They also have their own food access so you could always just order through the speakeasy itself. The drinks here are fantastic! Everything off the menu is delicious but I love that you can request a drink with just offering a specific liquor/flavor palette. The bartenders clearly have amazing talent creating delicious craft cocktails. You won't be disappointed!

Very quick with the drinks and explained the proper way to experience the Kantan (Vodka, Pandan, Yuzu, Lemon, and Buzz Button). I'd definitely recommend the Shibui Single Malt Whisky (15 year). Very smooth with hints of chocolate and oak. Great place to wait for your reservation.

I didn't plan on eating here but decided to give them a try since I wanted to stay and crash the wedding that was going on in front of The Pocket. The poke bowl was a good choice. The tuna sashimi was tender. The dressing was tasty. My daughter enjoyed her Carne asada tacos. Service was great. I noticed they were going around with a tray of champagne.

We stumbled upon The Alley by chance and were glad we found it. It is the kind of place you do not…read moreplan for but end up talking about afterward. If you are looking for a fun little spot with a DJ, lights, and a mix of truly random people, this is it. The drinks are affordable, which already puts it ahead of the curve. The DJ is solid and plays a surprisingly wide range of music that somehow works for everyone in the room. The dance floor is always packed, and that energy feeds into the entire space. What stood out most is that there is no single niche or crowd this bar caters to, which makes it feel welcoming and easy to enjoy. For a small town, seeing it this packed felt like a win. This is the kind of place where you show up for one drink and leave hours later. I will definitely be back the next time I am downtown and want to dance the night away.

Chill Vibes with a Fun Atmosphere…read more The Alley is a bit of a hole in the wall--but in the best way. It's a great spot to chill, relax, and enjoy some karaoke. I really loved the overall vibe of the place, though it does get crowded pretty quickly. The drinks are average and a bit on the pricey side, and the service was friendly, though nothing extraordinary. Overall, not a bad experience at all--definitely a fun little hangout spot!

It's hard being a lobby bar to make sure the waiter sees you, but once they know you're there, the service is fine. It's very relaxing with views overlooking the Carlsbad coastline and whatever event is happening in the outdoor area of the Hyatt. Small tv's, NOT a good place to watch a sport event. The heaters outside are very strong. They have live music on Friday/Saturday in the evening. Food/Drinks They bring you complimentary green olives with a nut. I have had marcona almonds before and this time it was soybeans. The drinks were fine, pretty expensive for a cocktail at $20+. The food is also okay. We had the Local Assorted Cured Meat and it was good! I loved the bread that came with it. The Crispy Spam Musubi was also interesting, it was like a fried rice ball (like arrencini) but with an asian flair. Overall I would not recommend you come here unless you are staying at the hotel, but the views are pretty good.

However, we sat at our table for over 10 minutes before a server actually acknowledged us. That was uncomfortable. Once he came by, we asked about ordering the lobster dinner and he said "well, it's very exclusive." to which I responded "I KNOW, we made a reservation exclusively for that. Is that noted somewhere?"He copped an attitude but then said "ok. I THINK we have some left". Ugh. So, the service was not ideal. Also, it was loud and clearly there were families in there that had just come back from Legoland or somewhere, because there were screaming children. Not really a big deal in a hotel environment because you kind of expect that, but don't go in expecting an "exclusive" experience here. That said, the food was AWESOME. Pork belly appetizer was the winner! The lobster was fantastic (although, we asked for extra of the sauce they put with it and it never came), and the potatoes on the side were great. Overall, I would love to go back and experience the food again, however, for the price, it's not worth putting up with the weak service. Also...that whole "dress code" thing. Don't stress. You're fine
