    We were staying at The Seabird and was able to eat at Piper twice. All the dishes not only tasted great, but the presentation was so pretty. We also enjoyed the lattes and matcha. The service was excellent and everyone so friendly. The restaurant itself was very pretty, love the colors!

    Enjoyable breakfast spot for our stay here at Mission Pacific Resort. Delicious yet mindfully healthy breakfast on a blissful sunny day. The life!

    I came with a group of my friends to celebrate a birthday. Loved that the restaurant isn't far from the amazing sunset views! I chose to have a mocktail to start, which was the Yuzu Berry Spritz. Very light and refreshing way to start a meal. The bread was nice and soft with butter, honey and salt that was accompanied with it. Before our mains came out, we had an amuse bouche. Not sure what was in it but it was pretty good! For my main, I had the seared seabass. It was beautifully plated on top of the broccolini and I enjoyed the artichoke potage accompaniment. I got to taste the lamb shank, with was fork tender! The New York steak was also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. For dessert, I chose the chocolate chip cookie, which was meh. I wasn't very impressed for a $5 dollar cookie. The server highly recommended this, so my expectations were a little high. Overall, service was pretty good and the staff was very accommodating to our large group.

    Piper is the main breakfast restaurant for the Seabird and Mission Pacific resorts (it also serves lunch and dinner). Usually hotel restaurants in the US are subpar, but this one was filled with locals in addition to hotel guests. The presence of locals is always a good sign in a resort area. I only tried the breakfast menu, but I was very impressed and would definitely go for lunch and/or dinner. The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars was because of the prices. I know it's a resort, but $16 for a side of berries in Oceanside seems laughable. They also add a 6 percent fee on top of the bill in order to pay their employees (this is in addition to tip). The acai bowl at Piper was the best I've ever had. So good that I ordered it three times! The house-made hemp granola was fantastic and the acai was thick and not too sweet. I appreciated the ample sunflower butter and berries. The SD based fermented hot sauces were also a treat, and I enjoyed them on my savory items. The huevos rancheros was the best of the savory items I tried. I'm not generally a beef eater, but the brisket was fantastic. If you find yourself in Oceanside and want a fancy brekkie, this is definitely your spot!

    I reading many good reviews for Piper Restaurant at Seabird Resort in Oceanside, so I made a reservation before our stay there. For dinner, the staff greeted us nicely and made us feel welcome. The place is cozy and feels like home. Our server Sara was very good. She helped us choose our food. We started with Duck Liver Mousse. It was excellent and very tasty. For main dishes, the Brandt New York Steak was perfect. The Cioppino looked nice, but the taste was just okay. We came back the next day for breakfast. The Lobster Omelette and Crab Cake Benedict were both very good and delicious. The service was great, and most of the food was wonderful. I will come back again next time I stay at Seabird Resort. I definitely recommend this restaurant! My Personal Rating : 4.38 Food 4.3/5 Service 4.5/5 Price 4.1/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Cleanliness 4.5/5

    Food, service, vibes - Piper's got it! Came to celebrate a dear friend's birthday, and it was everyone's first time at Piper. The host was very accommodating to give us the best table in the house. Pro tip! - make a reservation for an early dinner to enjoy the beautiful sunset + get a pic of a table. Our server Tiana went above and beyond to make our evening special and tasty. Drinks and food were flowing, we had everything we need. Standouts were the ahi app and seabass main. Manager Mark was so hands on and made sure our group had a great birthday celebration. He was warm, welcoming, and ensured our meal was perfect. So impressed with the service here! Def 5 stars all around.

    Piper was such a standout dining experience. The food was genuinely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish felt thoughtful without being overly complicated. The staff were truly lovely. Service was polished, warm, and attentive from start to finish. We were even surprised with a complimentary hors d'oeuvre from the chef, which made the whole experience feel elevated and personal. The inside was also beautiful! Between the quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the outstanding service, Piper is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Oceanside. I'll definitely be returning.

    We stayed at Seabird and went to Piper for both breakfast and dinner and we loved both. Since we stayed during the weekend, there was buffet for breakfast. The buffet has so many options and everything is so good! For dinner, we had the duck liver mousse with the beet salad and pasta. Everything was so good. Not only was the food great, but the service was excellent. The servers were so friendly. It does get very very even for breakfast so reservations are highly recommended!

    Very nice place, great service. Nice decor and comfortable. Would have given a five star, but our food arrived cold but the potatos were nice and warm. We didnt wait very long for it to arrve so not sure what happened there. Other than that, the food was actually really good. They offer breakfast buffet on rhe weeknds but we opted to order from the menu. I believe you could make reservations but we just showed up and were seated immediatley.

    The food is great; you won't be disappointed. We ate breakfast and dinner here, and both occasions were consistent. There are a few options for vegetarians on the menu, but the menu is predominantly catered to meat-eaters. Breakfast has more options than dinner; dinner, however, had only one entree listed on the menu that didn't include meat. With that said, we had a pleasant time during both occasions. Their cocktails were delicious, although mine arrived after my entrée was served. The place wasn't busy; it was about 1/4 full at the time. Overall, it's a great place for date night, and a nice place to eat by the Pier. There aren't too many other places in the immediate area like this place.

    Restaurant at the Hyatt Seabird with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Great for groups, special occasions and family friendly. We were staying here for the Oceanside 70.3 race and it was perfect for a nice post race meal. Was a little expensive but delicious food and presentation, and great service.

    We had breakfast here today, and liked it so much, we came back for lunch. The food is delicious, but what REALLY stands out is the high quality of staff. Both of servers (Juan and Jackson) were both amazing- definitely better than average. The fact that we had TWO GREAT experiences in one day doesn't seem to be a coincidence. When we had breakfast, there were no inside tables, so we ate outside. Juan brought us a heater- which was so nice. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and served quickly. Our new favorite restaurant in Oceanside! Bravo to whoever manages this restaurant. Your efforts are evident.

    Like other reviews, service was weirdly so slow yet there wasn't that many people there. Food did taste fresh and I highly recommend the pappardelle and sea bass! The raspberry cake was also so light and the gelee was a fun texture.

As soon as we came in for the reservation we were seated immediately and got to sit next a fire pit with a great view of Oceanside pier. The server was such a good guy too. Very friendly and very funny. We were deciding what drink to get and he recommended the pineapple suite since it matched my shirt and I'm glad we got it because it was very refreshing. We also got the fish and chips to snack on. The fish was so crispy and yet so soft and adding the lemon and tartar sauce made it even better. The fries were also very crispy, which I loved.

Why a disaster. The gunk that was in the middle of my overcooked burger oh man. A thick patty overcooked with some yellow slop. Disgusted all day by the fact I had more than one bite. After the first bite I attempted to scrape it all off but that was where I realized it was over before it even started. Maybe 4 total bites. Yuck! That purple ube coconut drink was however divine along with my server Seth! Thank you Seth but maybe get me some better food for 40% tip. That was clearly not enjoyed but you are a nice man. Take care. I will not be back.

I simply wanted to ask what he was serving and clarify the seating/pool arrangement, including any differences for hotel guests versus outside visitors. Instead of answering or letting me finish a single sentence, Eric repeatedly talked over me, curtly stating it was "sold out" with no explanation. When I tried to understand what exactly was sold out (the hotel, the pool, the rooftop bar, or seating), he continued interrupting and directing me to the hostess stand. He even scolded me that he had already repeated himself four times, while adding that I wasn't asking the question that mattered although he never let me finish a sentence. The entire interaction felt dismissive and almost hostile and condescending (insinuating I can't understand because of my ethnicity and that he was actively trying to make me leave rather than provide basic service or information) It was especially disappointing on a holiday when hospitality standards should be at their best. No amount of busyness excuses such rude, impatient, and condescending behavior toward a guest who was simply trying to ask a reasonable question. The hostesses were extremely nice and explained to me the difference between cabana, restaurant, and the pool seating for hotel guests vs non guests. Shame that staying at the hotel, we haven't been able to utilize any of the amenities

I recall it being a delicious and a wonderful dining experience. I have been looking forward to bringing my family and friends here all week. I am giving this restaurant 3 stars, because their food is still AMAZING and their staff is super nice and I believe deep down inside that they just had a REALLY OFF night. We had reservations for a party of 9 last night. The table was set up nicely and accommodated a few extra if needed, which I thought was cool. We started with some adult beverages: an Old Fashion, some Hotel Nacionals, a Fashionably Late, and a couple of beers. Everything started great. Dennis, our server was very cool and friendly and gave great suggestions. We ordered the mac and cheese sides and they were delicious with huge pieces of savory bacon in them. We also ordered the brussel sprouts which we never received and didn't even realize it until the very end when we received the bill because of all the other issues we had... but we'll get to that in a moment. But let's talk about what did go well... the delicious food we did get. We ordered the Pig burger which was sooo good and came with crispy fries. The fish for the fish and chips were 2 huge pieces and were delicious, came with yummy seasoned waffle fries and the tiniest tartar sauce and malt vinegar. I had to request 4 more for that amount of fish, but no big deal. Dennis brought out as much as we needed. Their ranch sauce is really good too. Don't judge just because it's a little peachy'ish and looks thousand island'ish. lt's still some very good ranch. My son said he really tasted the bitterness of beer in the fish batter but maybe it was just in that piece he had; I could not taste it in the piece of fish I ate. The short rib was really tender and delicious... the sauce was just a tad salty for my taste, but the mashed potatoes it sat on sort of balanced it out a little. The fried chicken thighs were really cooked well, juicy, crispy and seasoned perfectly. We ordered two Teres Major steaks. One rare with mashed potaoes, one medium rare with grits. The rare one came out medium and without any mushrooms, took FOREVEEERR to remake (the rest of the table was almost done with our meals...& not sure why it took so long since the restaurant wasn't that busy and it's a RARE steak). The one with grits came with mashed potatoes instead of grits. Dennis was super nice and apologetic and corrected both mistakes when we let him know. He then brought us a big bowl of grits. The manager (blonde gal) came over and apologized for the mistakes tonight, letting us know that usually does not happen, and let us know she'd be comping one of our steaks and would be bringing a dessert on them. We thought that was very nice of them. However, as nice a gesture. we never did receive that dessert. My husband handed Dennis his credit card before the bill arrived (before our friends could try to pay the bill) and not sure why but our bill never came, and we never saw Dennis again either after he boxed up our leftovers and took the card. We had to ask another server for our bill because we had been waiting for quite a while... and needed to head out as we were already late to meet friends at a lounge. The other server came back with my husband's credit card, the bill (that's when I finally noticed the brussel sprouts sides we never got but were charged), and let the server know. He immediately apologized and took it off the bill. So I'm not sure what happened last night at Flying Pig...missing and charged brussel sprouts, steak overcooked, missing mushrooms, mashed potatoes instead of grits, then a comped dessert promised but never delivered. WOW. I had to apologize to my friends. I was totally hyping up this place and it underdelivered. They automatically got their 20% gratuity for our party of 9 but anyone that knows me knows how much I absolutely love great service combined with exceptional food and that could have easily been a 30-35% tip had they been on their A game! We only come to Oceanside once a year. Maybe we will try again next year. Maybe not. This trip was about trying out a bunch of different restaurants and giving honest reviews on dishes/businesses we haven't tried before, or in a long time. Do better guys.

Having previously been to the one up in Orange, we decided that this was the best place to go. We were seated right away on the rooftop deck with a pleasant view of the downtown area. Our server was very patient with us and once we were able to find an order that we both liked (we were both exhausted from the San Diego County fair) our food was delivered to us in under 10 minutes. Our meals were both very well done in terms of quality and presentation. The biggest issue that we had is that because there is so much corn on the menu and because we generally avoid corn whenever possible due to dietary restrictions it seemed to really minimize what we could get as even most salads had corn inside of it. The portions provided were perfect for the two of us and the bison burger in particular was delivered to my exact cooking specification. What's interesting is that this restaurant does not include any sides in terms of their menu offerings so what feels like a discount when you see a burger for $13 to $15 you actually make up for by having to spend 4 to 6 dollars on a side. Well, I understand that this may be easier for them with some of their customers. It is not a trend that I enjoy seeing as ultimately the prices are not as cheap as you would expect. They were a bit busier than expected on the holiday, but that's because so many other restaurants were closed so it looks like a large part of the crowd went to Oceanside as well just to go to Finney's. Overall, we enjoyed our experience, but the menu having limited options if anyone has a hard time with corn really puts a damper on it along with having to pay for the sides separately makes for a weird experience. Even with those in mind, I still give it four stars.
