Best Restaurants for Groups in Escondido

Very crowded. Maybe not enough servers or overbooked. Reservation at 3; seated at 3:45. Server was good, food was good, good value.

We sat outside and the employees were so kind in helping us turn on the heat lamp. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Fun ambiance and good food!

The Brussel Sprouts and Calamari were both excellent. The main dish we had was the Crispy Skin sea bass...it was so good. The service by our waitress was very good and she was very knowledgeable of the dishes and gave us great recommendations. That was our first time there and we will going back.

Had a really great time at Vintana. My friend and I went during happy hour and we tried a bunch of dishes. She really loved the chicken wings and I really enjoyed the wedge salad. My mocktail, the prickly no pear, was really delicious as well. Our waiter was really great as well, but unfortunately I forgot his name. :/ This was my first time eating outside on the lanai (I had been once before, but ate inside) and it was really nice sitting by the fire pit, as it was a bit chilly. Just an all around wonderful time!

Good food, great service and a pleasant afternoon without traffic, crowds, and chaos!
