Very good food, but to me, it's a little pricey. Gluten-free food could b why.

We had a couple of appetizers (the guaca-poke was delicious!) and 3 different dinners. All were good, tasted fresh and were presented nicely. They had several options for gluten free (thank goodness) and everyone was professional and friendly. We had an early dinner and by the time we left, the place was packed! Their to go orders were flying out the door too, so I am guessing many others find this a great place to eat too!

This place is, hands down, the BEST spot to get seafood! I’ve lived here for a few years and this has been our favorite meal out for date night! Spencer was our waiter tonight and recommended the Swordfish as a gluten free option…WOW! They spear their own and it shows with how fresh and delicious! I’d give it a 15/10! The appetizer was the half dozen oysters, which was a 10/10! My husband had the fisherman’s platter and said it was an 8/10. I had the Riesling and he had the Malbec wine… VERY good and went with it all! Thank you Spencer for our best night out! There is hope for good food in Carlsbad/Oceanside! Just realized they have Sushi and will update this review after out next night out!!!

Simply amazing. The fact that they offer a gluten free roll for people with allergies is much appreciated. I never had the chance to have a lobster roll before. It was amazing. The portion of lobster even in the regular roll is very generous. Definitely worth a try!

Incredible flavors, large portions, friendly and fast staff, and a huge variety await you at this great restaurant tucked in Del Mar. My husband had been wanting to visit for months, and we finally made it when a friend came to town - my only regret is that we didn't make it sooner! The menu has a wide range of protein options with many gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes noted + substitutions available upon request. We started our meal with hard kombucha and a chicha mimosa alongside yucca fries and their special of scallops in a white wine sauce. Our mains were the braised short ribs, the pork belly, and the squid ink risotto. The flavors were superb and the options were hearty.
