- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •2 reviews4.0Dined todayDisappointed that the main attraction, pizzas, were not available due to their oven being broken. That left mostly burgers which my family said we're good but I thought they were overpriced.More info7MILE KitchenPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4
- BBrianHawaii •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent food and service as usual. Their telephone was blocked so I could not contact them for two days about changing the time on the reservation. When we arrived the hostess was a little argumentative over the phone problem, however, the manager came to our table with apologies . I had requested a table in the main dining room, it was not available so we were seated outside in the “annex” rather than waiting.More infoVigilucci's Seafood & SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Italian• Carlsbad•4.7
