    The food here is SO GOOD, my boyfriend and I went twice during our 3 day trip. Que diablos ha pasado short rib nachos are amazing! The service is great and the restaurant interior itself is quite nice. The weather was perfect!

    Back Patio

    My friend and I were doing a mini food crawl through downtown Encinitas and decided to stop by here for a quick snack and drink. I guess you could call it a bit of a girl dinner (or snack) - aperol spritz + onion rings. The vibes were great, especially the back patio area. The service was also pretty solid and we didn't feel like anyone was rushing us out, despite just ordering nibbles. Great spot overall!

    8 wings = $23 ouch. Honestly a not a bad spot, but also it's not a great spot. The name is pretty misleading as the only German item on the menu are the pretzels. No German beer neither. It's located on the main strip of Encinitas so it's always popular.

    Was craving some fries so we went here after looking at the menu! Pretty popular spot for lunch/ brunch. The restrooms were clean and the fries were really good! Service was excellent! The price of the food was a bit tad high but other than that it was great! The truffle fries were lacking in truffle flavor it tasted mostly like regular fries and salt.

    The waiter and hostess were nice. We were seated right away. But, this place had the worst burnt fish that I've ever had, and our appetizer was cold. I mean I was expecting to receive a nicely seasoned crunchy, golden brown, piece of fish, but instead I got..... If you go here, the safest option would probably be a burger.

    FIG BURGER and BRUSSEL SPROUTS (N)(V)

    Came here with a friend on Easter Sunday around 9:30 PM and had a great experience overall. It was pretty mellow for a holiday night with just a handful of people there with plenty of seating both inside, outside, and at the bar. We ended up grabbing seats at the bar, which was a great choice. We ordered the: *Fig Burger with Brussels Sprouts: the Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. They had what tasted like pecans, some kind of glaze, and cheese... seriously so good. The Fig Burger itself was just as impressive with such a unique combo and absolutely delicious. *Steak Sandwich with Onion Rings: this was also a standout. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and came with a great dipping sauce that really tied it all together. The onion rings were crispy and on point too. First off, I love that they offer a variety of sides (sweet potato fries, truffle fries, mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, etc.), though most come with a small upcharge. We had a few drinks and even grabbed a bottle of wine from the bar to take back to our Airbnb, which was a nice bonus. The vibe was relaxed with TVs playing highlights from a basketball game, and the bartender/server was awesome. Parking was easy with free street parking, though that might've been because it was late and a holiday. Only heads up: definitely call ahead about kitchen and closing times, especially on holidays. Online said they close at midnight, but they were actually closing at 11 PM. We were told over the phone the kitchen closed at 9:45 PM, but when we arrived at 9:30 PM, it had just switched to last call. Thankfully, they were kind enough to still get our order in. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and a solid spot worth checking out. Would definitely come back.

    Yummy menu

    Fabulous place to hang out for Sunday and grab a cold beer! Their beer glasses are chilled and the vibe is relaxed. If you sit on the patio it is a little calmer if you go inside next to the bar it is lively! It must see when you come to Encinitas!

    THE CUBANO, this was Amazing. TRY IT NOW!

    I've been at this place quite a few times, decided I would go ahead and leave a review this time. I love the menu, there is a lot of stuff on this menu and all of it is very very good. Every time I've been there the service has been great and that's what keeps me coming back. Overall, this place is definitely worth giving a try and I would most certainly recommend this place to others.

    Love eating here! It's such a fun vibe! You're right in the heart of downtown Encinitas. My husband and I like eating outside when the weather is nice! We have been here many times and have never had bad service! My favorite thing to order is the short rib nachos!

    Hearty Bloody Mary. Pretty much a roadside attraction with all the grub. It's more fun than tasty.

    We came here for my husband's birthday dinner and had such a wonderful experience! Everything was…read moredelicious. We started with the oysters and marrow, as well as the mussels over sourdough toast, which were perfect for sharing among the five adults in our group. For my entrée, I ordered the lobster linguine, which came with a generous amount of fresh, real lobster in nearly every bite. The pasta itself was a little on the bland side and could have benefited from a touch more salt or seasoning, but overall it was still very enjoyable. Our kids loved the pizzas! Each order came with six generously sized slices, making them great for sharing. To top off the evening, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary birthday dessert and a lit candle for my husband. It was such a thoughtful touch and a wonderful way to end the night. We had a great time, enjoyed our meal, and would happily come back!

    3.5/5 Pros:…read more- each week the restaurants menu is based off of the fresh catch from the local seafood markets - our waiter really knew his stuff and was very friendly and polite - the scallops were fresh and large, cleaned well, definitely recommend - the grilled red snapper was very fresh i can tell it was not frozen or put on ice for very long since it was caught. You probably cant find a place that can do this very easily at this size. cons: - we came due to it was a michelin rec for this area but i thought it was a little overhyped - it was a birthday dinner, and we didn't get seated until 25 min after our reservation and theres no waiting area so it was kinda awkward. Other guests also told me they also had been waiting for a while. - the pork was rlly dry and not that flavorful - a shame bc it seemed like a nice cut of meat - the potatoes sides were dry - the mussle toast is way too salty and so the bread and saltiness drowns out the mussle flavor neutral: - it's really loud, great for party vibes with some girlfriends but hard to hear in general - it's expensive for the vibes. we ordered on the heavy side for 2 people and it was $300. But if you're visiting just wanna experience fresh fish it's worth it
