Came for Father's Day without a reservation and also with a baby. The hostess stand was not that friendly or helpful. There was a wait of course but we were told there was open seating at the bar area. It was busy but I noticed there were a lot of families with kids so I didn't feel as out of place bringing my baby. We were able to find a table in the bar area thankfully and our waitress was amazing. Unfortunately, I forgot her name but she was so friendly, gave great recommendations from the menu and was very attentive. It's hard to come across that kind of service these days so I really appreciated it. The food was pretty good. We got the steak that came pre sliced with flaky salt and a side of zhoug sauce...so good. The artichokes with the aioli were also very good. Brussel sprouts were good but prob my least favorite of the 3. The vibe and ambience was great and there were ocean views, I would def recommend. read more

On July 4th at 5pm, I visited the rooftop bar by the pool area of the hotel we booked for the holiday weekend. Instead, I had a highly unprofessional experience with bartender Eric. 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 read more

Visited the Rooftop Bar in Oceanside for some drinks on a beautiful Saturday. It was busy but we were able to get a table, enjoy some drinks with excellent service and then wander over to the bar to visit with the bartenders. Sitting at the bar was a lot of fun, we enjoyed how pretty the bar was, how friendly and personable the bartenders were and how delicious the drinks were. The view here is unmatched, it's worth paying the price for slightly pricey drinks just to drink in the view for a while. Just simply enter the lobby of the Marriott and ride the elevator to the top floor and visit the hostess. Let her know I sent you for absolutely no discount on anything but the view. read more

The place is kinda cool. Great scenery from the rooftop, located on the 6th floor of the Mission Pacific hotel. It closes at midnight which is a little early for a weekend night. The ambience is nice but it's a bit small with limited seating. The music is chill, live dj spinning records, with a deep house vibe. It is a bit chilly at night but I like the warm firepit, if you can snag a table with one there. They do kick you out 10 minutes before closing to ensure everyone is off the premises on time, since it shuts down so early. If you're still working on your drink, they'll pour it into a paper to go cup for you, and send you on your way. They should consider staying open later... Maybe 1:30 am. read more

Such a wonderful place to celebrate a happy hour for my birthday, Invited by my bestie. The best rooftop views for sure. The pool area is the place to be, the music vibes are another level and nothing like a fall asleep there while listening to the hypnotic sounds and in the background the sound of the waves. What a great life feeling is what you feel at The Rooftop. We got some beers and the eggplant spread of crudites, olives and cheese and the fries and all was great. Servers were attentive and very nice..all excellent. read more

I came here with my wife for sunset, we ordered a Mezze platter and our server, Liv suggested we pair it with a bottle of duck horn. It was delicious. They have a very wide selection of liquors and wine. I recommend the steak and prawns with the mezze! The combination was amazing. Food was top tier and high quality. The cocktails took a little while but I must say service made up for the wait. Liv gave us a comedy show on top of excellent service. The entire staff elevated the experience. Who you hire makes or breaks your business and there is something special about the crew that works here. We couldn't stop laughing and Liv made our evening that much better. The ambiance was wonderful. We sat by the glass in very comfortable chairs and stared at the ocean for hours. I will definitely be back! read more

We purchased daypasses to the rooftop pool at the Mission Pacific Hotel on Sunday and ordered some small plates and drinks on our visit. Our server for the whole day was Noah, and HUGE props to that young man!! He was always one step ahead of us asking for ANYTHING and that was on top of being completely swamped with guests. He was fun, energetic, professional, and so well versed with their offerings which was a big reason why our first ever visit was one to remember and one to keep us coming back. Thank you Noah, we hope to see you again soon at the pool & we hope that you get recognition you deserve for outstanding service! Now, to the food and drinks! We ordered the seafood tower, bottle of sparkling rose and laphroaig on the rocks to start. The seafood tower... well... it was as fresh tasting as it gets. The accouterments were superb in pairing with the oysters... and the tuna tartare as well as the marinated sea bass were absolutely delicious especially paired with the perfectly seasoned tarot root chips. After the rose disappeared, I ordered the Teramar cocktail and it was what you would imagine should be drank poolside. A perfect balance of sweet, sour and tropical all in one. Later I ordered 3 (or 4 I don't remember haha) of the winter glow. Now, I dont like vanilla flavored adult beverages, but I saw it had earl grey tea, and I was intrigued. Well safe to say... I really really like it. It was like nothing ive had before and soooo smooth for what was in it. Definitely give that one a try! We also ordered the chicken sando and shrimp toast. The chicken sando was perfect, but the shrimp toast? Chefs kiss! I could eat that all day if you let me. Again, I have to say that Noah made our experience so much better... and although it was SO very busy, he did his absolute best to communicate slow downs happening at the bar and just made sure we knew we were never being forgotten. My boyfriend, his mom, and myself were and are still blown away. We will 100% be back, hopefully on a more regular basis. This place is exactly the hype everyone states online. Its gorgeous in all parts of its property, and the service you get is top notch. Make sure to give this spot a try!!! And I hope you get the pleasure of being served by Noah on your visit. Make sure to take a look at my photos! I made sure to take a photo of all pages of the menu along with our orders. read more

Its a short walking distance from the boardwalk 2. Great for sunset views read more

Planned a friend's birthday party here and the vibe was amazing. The bar staff was helpful in getting our large reservation set up and the servers were very attentive/friendly. We got an outdoor space with a few tables near the pool and it was a great atmosphere. The space was pretty big inside and had both indoor/outdoor areas. The music was good too. The food options were a bit limited here so we focused on drinks. It can be pricey but the view and ambiance is what you pay for. read more

We were only here briefly and I do have to say, the rooftop had a pretty cool view of the pier and beach! The pool wasn't open yet when we came by in the late morning, although the hot tub was open (quite small though). Our toddler liked climbing on the couch and soft cushions surrounding the covered pool, and we got lucky with the weather in late November since it was nice and sunny with a cool breeze (mid-60s!). I ordered the passion fruit spritz mocktail ($10) while chilling here before heading down to the oceanside pier itself. When we left, we saw a ton of hotel guests having brunch as well, so it seems like it's a popular place to be! The rooftop did end up closing early for a private event (wedding?) from the early afternoon all through the evening, which can put a damper on your plans if you'd like to come here for the sunset or an afternoon dip in the rooftop pool. read more

Our friends took us to this restaurant for the beautiful view of Oceanside Beach and pier. We sat in the pool area at the furthest corner table. It had the best view but it was a bit noisy. It's beautifully decorated and very picturesque. I would say this place is better suited for groups of 4 or less. We were a group of 6 and options were limited. The food was on the pricey side because portions were quite small. More like tapas than actually plates. Food was hit or miss. We did like the cocktails and those were delicious. read more

Stopped by this spot recently -- the vibes are honestly great. The bar is beautiful and well-designed, definitely a place you'd want to hang out for a while. Ambiance hit the mark. That said, service was noticeably slow. The staff was friendly enough, but not very efficient. There also seemed to be some questionable sanitary practices behind the bar. Bartenders went from handling cash and cards straight to shaping a cucumber garnish with bare hands, and I watched another grip a cocktail ice cube with his full palm for my drink -- not exactly reassuring. I ordered The Jetty, their twist on an old fashioned. Unfortunately, it was way too sweet for my taste. If you're a fan of a more spirit-forward old fashioned, this might not be the one for you. Overall, solid atmosphere, but the execution behind the bar needs a bit of polishing -- both in speed and hygiene. Note: there is a 6% surcharge. Not sure what this goes towards? But let's hope the saying "alcohol kills germs" is true. read more

The hotel itself is stunning. Have to take a moment to admire the design and atmosphere! We weren't able to get seated on the rooftop dining terrace on a Tuesday evening around 7pm where we were hoping, so we decided to dine by the pool, the hostess was friendly. The views from the rooftop were outstanding and watching the sunset was amazing! The server and food were pretty slow. Took over 15 minutes to be greeted which in my book is a "red flag". Server wasn't very friendly or welcoming, didn't go out of her way to do anything extra or above and beyond at all other than taking our order. Food took about 30 minutes which isn't too bad, we ordered the chicken sandwich, cheese monger, & feta dip. The food was very good once we got it. We asked for more pita and bread for our apps and we received it pretty much after we were done eating but we didn't mind because we could tell it was fresh and understood it probably took some time to come out of the oven. I wanted to love this place but the service took it down to 5 stars. Also, we were charged $6 for a club soda, and weren't thrilled about that. It felt a bit sneaky to charge for rhat. Will we be back? Unsure. If we had a lively, friendly, and attentive server- absolutely. read more

My friends and I were visiting for a Bachelorette party and wanted to try this place. It was confusing on how to get to this bar since it is on the roof of a hotel. We had to go in the hotel and ask for directions. Once we got to the top floor, it had a great view and they were very busy. It was hard to accommodate for a group of 9, but they found seating us seating under some heated lamps. It was nice because it was cold out, especially being next to the beach. Our server seemed like he did not want to be there. We all got our orders in and shared all the food. The oysters were good. The platter with steak and sandwiches were good, but the vegetables were average. The total came out to ~$400, but we were still hungry so we decided to leave and get more food. The prices were extremely expensive, but the pool and atmosphere was amazing. If you're not worried about the price, this is a good place to go to if you enjoy the atmosphere and experience. read more

The rooftop bar at Mission Pacific Beach Resort was a great experience overall. It was very accessible and not hard to find at all, which made getting there easy and stress-free. The ambience was amazing -- stylish, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying the ocean views. I was pleasantly surprised by how lively it was, especially for a Monday night. There were a lot of people, which really added to the energy of the space. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

We stayed at Mission's and checked out the Rooftop and were throughly happy with the great views underneath heat lamps. The food was very Californian using local ingredients and beautiful plating.

Beautiful ocean view and huge potential, but consistently terrible service and poor execution. We stayed at the hotel and planned to come here often during our staycation. That plan ended quickly. Day 1: Cocktails were genuinely bad. Beer was fine. Sandwich was decent. We were quietly watching the sunset, snacking, drinking in silence. A waitress suddenly appeared behind us and loudly told me I was not allowed to smoke there. I do not smoke. I was confused and showed her the half-eaten chips in my hand. Instead of apologizing, she doubled down, saying she "smelled cigarettes," then claimed she saw something "cylindrical." There was nothing on the table, nothing in my hands, nothing anywhere. Only after all that did she offer a half-hearted apology and walk away. The interruption was accusatory, loud, and completely unnecessary. It killed the mood and made us leave early. No attempt was made to fix the situation or acknowledge how uncomfortable it was. Day 2: I was refused alcohol because I did not have my passport with me, which is fine, but apparently I aged backwards overnight. I ordered a freshly squeezed grapefruit juice instead. When I asked for something fresh first, the waitress told me they had Dole pineapple juice, which already says a lot. The grapefruit juice arrived lukewarm, with no ice and no straw. My husband ordered a dirty martini. It was one of the worst he's had with cheap and stall green olives and low quality vodka in it. The "marinated Castelvetrano olives" on the menu tasted like basic grocery-store jar olives with some weird herbs on it. Questionable at best. We asked for the check early and left. No one asked how things were or why we were leaving. This place lives off the view, but atmosphere, service, and drinks matter. Right now, the staff actively ruins what could be a great rooftop bar. Wasted potential. read more

Coming from the beach, hubby and I were craving for seafoods. Walked across the street and checked out The Rooftop Bar. We asked the hostess if they serve seafoods. Little did we know that their servings are pupus to perfectly pair with your drinks. We ordered tuna tartar, bread with garlic butter and octopus to go with our choice of white wine and blonde beer. These "appetizers" were just perfect and canceled our reservations to another place that offers a wider variety of seafoods. Left happy, stuffed and satisfied! Place that time was busy as it was a Saturday and people are finally taking a break from the cold weather. Maybe we will come back when we visit Oceanside.... read more

There's always something happening besides indulging in the delicious cocktails and food. This place can get pretty busy especially at the bar...certain times, there's a wait.

Michael and Summer were some of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. They were so friendly and accommodating both had genuine smiles on all day. My mom and sister were visiting from out of town and I wanted to show them how Oceanside has changed for the better. I was just walking up to the bar and told Michael im just showing tje family around, he said do they want to see the pool area? I said sure. Well there was an open spot so he let us stay and naturally we jad to order a round of drinks. Followed by another round because rhe views and weather were perfect. We only left because I had plans to show them my hidden watering hole in Cbad. That may be my next review. Overall it was a very pleasent and relaxing visit. read more
