- AAlanVIPSan Diego •9 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFood was good, not great. Perhaps a little overreaching on some flavor profiles in an effort to be unique? Service and ambiance for a Monday night were excellent. I can’t wait to try it again when the seasonal menu changes. Overall our group gave the experience a solid B+. Could easily be an A in our next visit.More infoCampfirePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.8
- NNancyVIPSan Diego •16 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 15, 2025Signage at the Omni Hotel is poor. We had to ask someone to find the location of the restaurant- there was NO sign on the plaza area to lead us to the restaurant. Even though the salad tasted good, the lettuce was not washed sufficiently to prevent the grittiness of sand and/or dirt that was present.More infoVue - Omni La Costa Resort & SpaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.2
