I like that they have mocktail choices. I got the Ponto passion and it was pretty good. The presentation was lovely.

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. Earlier, same person was handing out chicarones to the guests in the pool. I thought that was great customer service!

Just wanted to shout out Rory F. -- hands down the best waitress I've ever had! Her customer…read moreservice was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We ordered our drinks and food and everything came out quickly, and she was so attentive the entire time.

If you get Rory as your waitress, you're in great hands. We will definitely be back

I want to start by saying that for whatever my opinion matters (and it should matter very little),…read morethis is just how I came away feeling about this place. Because Draft Republic is a rough place to quantify. The food is pretty good; if going off that alone, this place would easily be four stars in my eyes. But, it's not ... Draft Republic is trying to be a bit closer to like a mini Dave & Buster's (a place I have come pretty close to loathing). With an arcade, a bowling alley, a golfing simulator, a full bar, pretty extensive menu, good music, and a fantastic staff, they really have a lot going for them with a little something to make anyone happy. My own issue deals solely with the cost. Came here with my son, all we did was eat two entrees and an appetizer between us, and did nothing else. With drink and after tax and tip, the cost was well over $90. No games, no play, just burgers (plus fries and poke tacos) for two, costs as much as many Californian's net after a full day of work. When you're used to feeding the whole family for about half as much when going out (or a little more when eating sushi), that price was a bit rough. Still, the food is very good. My son and I each ate The Draft Republic Burger. It was perfectly cooked, juicy, very flavorful, and the toppings were high quality. The fries were crisp and salted well. And the side salad wasn't too bad. Both of us ate our entrees and gave it high marks. We had started with the Tres Poke Tacos, where the Tuna was very tasty, steeped in a flavorful marinade, and felt nice and fresh. Definitely a good starter. And the restaurant itself is gorgeous. A lot of space, beautifully furnished, kind of industrial meets art deco with some new age greenery architecture thrown in. I like it a lot. But, as an aging Gen-X'er, who used to go to arcades back in the day, and hates what new arcades have become, the amenities are under appreciated by me. All of that pads the price tag a bit out of what I am willing to pay just for dinner. Which may not be fair to Draft Republic, but that's where it left me.

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.

My husband and I were consistently blown away throughout the meal. We had a few cocktails (one was the verde) and all of them were exceptionally crafted, balanced and well priced. What really shocked us was how good the food was. These were chef driven dishes with phenomenal flavor profiles and execution. Genuinely was blown away by the charred broccoli and the cabbage dish. I would venture to say I preferred the broccoli dish here than to somewhere like Campfire. On that final note, I'll say we typically go to State street or Encinitas/Solana/Oceanside for our date nights but please, give this place a try. They were so so good! 10/10 from two vegetarians

It was slow and not super pleasant. It didn't seem too busy anywhere in the place so I'm not sure what the delays were. Maybe the server was new, but she didn't seem too happy and forgot my drink. When she finally came back to check on us she asked if I would like to order a drink (umm, I just want to beer that I ordered ten minutes ago, please). I'd go again if others chose to meet up there... and just hope for the best.
