    Located inside the Legoland Hotel, directly across from the buffet restaurant Bricks, Skyline Cafe is the only sit down restaurant open all day in the hotel. They serve alcohol here so that could be worth a visit if that's what you're looking for, but the food itself is a pass. The food is more expensive than in the park, takes at least 30-mins after ordering, and tastes like theme park food anyways. You're better off eating inside Legoland as it seems to be about the same food but it'll be cheaper inside and faster.

    10 buffalo wings

    Located inside the LEGOLAND California Hotel, we dined here because we were staying at the hotel and hungry! We didn't have a reservation. When we came to the host podium, the hostess said it would be a 20 minute wait and that was no problem for us. We went to the arcade inside the hotel to play a bit and then, came back. Our server was so nice and efficient. I was very impressed with the customer service. I ordered the Buffalo wings and really liked it! It's nice not having to leave LEGOLAND California Resort to have a decent meal.

    Kids mac n cheese with salad

    The food and service were amazing. My daughter was able to get a salad with her kids meal. The girls were able to look at the Legos throughout the restaurant. I would 100% be back.

    Overcooked/overfried Turkey Club -2020

    Skyline cafe is a great option if you are looking to steer clear of all the little hands getting into your food at the buffet. Located across from Bricks Family Buffet, they serve sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and things of that nature and have a full bar for drinks. The highlight of Skyline cafe is the impressive skine made of legos. If you look closely you will see lots of silly and quirky things. What is so neat is that some of the windows in the buildings light up and you can see something going on in the windows. One of my go-to's here since our first visit 3 years ago is the House Turkey Club with a side of sweet potato fries. In the past the sweet potatoes were yummy and crunchy and fried just right but over time the quality has gone down. I find that fries are now overfried. Service here was very slow even on an off-peak, weeknight. There was hardly anyone here and yet the drink I ordered took almost 20 minites to arrive. When I looked at the bar they were just hanging out. The servers are nice here but service was very slow. In my photos you can see how awesome the food looked back then vs how overcooked and overfried it looks now. I have read some reviews where others think this place was overpriced but in my opinion the portion is pretty generous and can be shared with a small child.

    Chicken wings

    I wasn't expecting much but I was wrong. The food was good! I had Sesame Chicken Salad ($14) and Lemon Roasted Mushroom Flatbread($13). The salad was delicious! And it was big portion. I was so happy. My flatbread was also delicious. It had white truffle oil and I kept eating and eating. LOL My husband had Skyline Dry Rubbed Wings ($13) and Pepperoni Flatbread ($13). There were about 8 wings and lots of carrots and celery sticks. Very filling and goes good with beer. My husband was happy that there were lots of celerys because most place only comes with 3 or 4. We were hungry and didn't know how the portion so we ordered little too much. If we have shared a flatbread, that would have been a good amount. One side of the restaurant had Lego buildings and minifigures. That was great. I wish there were more on the other side too. There weren't anything interesting were we sat down but the food was great so we were good

    Gigantic Caesar salad with lotsa cheese. Chicken wing for scale?
    Katie F.

    Not gourmet, but a solid meal if you're staying at the Legoland hotel. Our server was very attentive. Chicken wings were pretty good (sauces came on the side so they weren't soggy) but they were laughably tiny! Still, there were plenty of them, so no complaints. The salads, by contrast, were ginormous. I could only manage half the Caesar. Next time I'd ask for less cheese; it was a lot of parm. Kids split a pepperoni flatbread and seemed to enjoy it. This restaurant can be loud... there's a lot of kids. Best if you can get a seat near the lego skyline for some entertaining views!

    Menu is pretty affordable!

We had the All-American Breakfast with a side pancake (we could not substitute the toast for a pancake), Crab Benedict, Classic Benedict, Brioche French Toast and a side of bacon. The food came out fast and hot! I'm a sucker for hollandaise, so if you are too, be sure to ask for extra; I should have. Our server, Henry was full of quiet but radiant positive energy as he anticipated our every need! It was a wonderful experience to end a 3-day work event!

The restaurant is very nice and clean both inside and outside. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, so great first impression. Henry was our server and he was amazing! Very professional, great sense of humor, and very attentive. Took great care of our dog too. Some other staff members came by and everyone was very nice. We ordered the crab cakes, spicy N'duja and shrimp rigatoni, and fresh catch tacos. Everything had good flavoring and the portions were more than reasonable. We also felt the prices were reasonable considering the location, quality of the food, high-level service, and beautiful relaxing ambiance. We eat out often but don't really leave reviews. But our experience at 20 | Twenty was definitely worth mentioning. We will return and try other items next time in the area and will be sure to tell others about it! Thanks for a very very pleasant surprise!!

We got the breakfast plate and a variety of pastries. Breakfast Plate- This is a hearty plate with scrambled eggs, double smoked bacon, roasted potatoes, and sourdough toast. Eggs were fluffy and the roasted potatoes had a nice garlicky and herby flavor. The toast is fresh and tasty. Shoutout to one of the best bacons I've ever had! It was thick, almost like pork belly, with a crisp exterior while remaining juicy inside. Pastries- Their almond croissant is the best I've tried. It's perfectly flaky and buttery, with a generous amount of almond filling and just the right amount of sweetness. The apple pie danish tastes just like the dessert, with a fun, breakfast twist. The cinnamon crumb cake is my favorite! The cake is moisy and crumbly with a thick layer of streusel, finished with powdered sugar. They really know how to balance flavors and sweetness. Great experience overall!

I jad thr gnocchi which seemed to be like a potato Mac and cheese but way more satisfying. I also had their salted sourdough and that was an amazing booze sponge. Servers were on point. Place was hopping on a Tuesday and we were a large group but the staff had it going on. On the pricey side but its coastal and kind of a crafts cocktail warehouse vibe. I enjoyed it very much.
