    Thanks again to Yelp, found an amazing restaurant. The service was top notch, even on their busy night where happy hour runs all night (drink specials & appetizers/tapas). We sat on the front patio and we were never rushed, water and drinks constantly refilled. We had the Bang Bang Shrimp tapas (perfectly cooked - sweet & crispy), BBQ chicken wings that were super crispy and well sauced. Then by recommendation of our server Maddie, we had the kalua pork and seafood enchiladas. All of it was great portions and so tasty! And of course, the kids and the chicken fingers & cheeseburger They also heard us mention (really in passing) that it was our 9yo's birthday and they brought out dessert to surprise him - cotton candy & a churro ice cream sandwich. We will totally be back!

    This is a great place for locals, with lots of local music. But since it's tropical, it's a fun place to take guests. See my last review for more details about the food and what you should definitely order. Over 8,000 people read that review! This time around we experienced their Bangkok Noodle Dish. Steve says: "The strips of zucchini mixed in with the same texture noodle is kind of interesting..... It's good". I have the Coconut Shrimp. Meets the standard of what that's supposed to taste and look like. Nicely plated. And I had artichoke bottoms, which are the best. It comes with a little nice salad and that is unexpected. Looks and tastes great! This Chef continues to bump up the flavor profiles a notch. Always happy to come. And they have such terrific staff. So friendly and welcoming. We listened to The Swinging Johnsons playing live in the next room. It's nice to go out on a Saturday Night, eat good food and listen to music. Funny to watch the young girls make fun of music they don't actually know! lol Happy Healthier Eating, Chef Marian San Diego Foodies Carlsbad Foodies

    Great choice for lunch following a 4th of July evening and cruising the scene in Encinitas! Huge menu with offerings to meet everyone's desires and taste across breakfast and lunch combined. The brunch place! Fusion menu! Mexican, Italian, Californian, Hawaiian Influenced Asian. Multiple seating options! Curbside, garden, indoor, terrace, and bar counter. Selected and shared the Grilled Maha Mahi Tacos with Chips & Salsa, and the Prime Rib Melt Sandwich with Au Jus and Fries paired with a crisp, cold, IPA. Everything was perfect! The beef was juicy, tender, and flavorful. The Mahi Mahi in the tacos was grilled to perfection and tasty Great customer service provided by Aiko! Highly recommend for a date or great meal.
