"Really just an amazing find! My family has been coming here since it opened and what a treat it is. The menu is unique and has very tasty choices. The first time I came here, we got a charcuterie tray. Staci explained what every piece on the tray was when she brought it out. There must have been 15 different things. I was so impressed that she remembered each individual piece and what it paired well with and where it came from. I just love it here!"

"The worst French dip sandwich I have ever had. The meat was so dried out as if it had been sitting cut for hours . Even the au kid did not help it . Very disappointed as people rave . Thanks goodness Door Dash refunded my money but for something that was NOT their fault. Definitely a kitchen issue"

"We hadnât been there a couple years and thought weâd try it out again. Came early for drinks and appsâ¦.great drinks, staff and food to start out with. Dinner out on the coveted patio was a great area to sit out in. I ordered steak, and have to say it was one of the worst steaks Iâve had in awhile. Medium rare was medium well and really lacked flavor. But desserts were great as well as all the other food and the waiter was great. Just next time Iâll go and not get steak again."

"this is my place near the ozean! eating and atmosphere are always beyond and beyond. I recommend the berry crucible fruit toast and the fried fish (probably not at the same time.) if they offer them coffee cake, they take it! it is so good. my best tips would be if they know that it is not overcrowded and/or go into small groups. it is really close in restaurants and not much space for children's cars or extra bags. we recommend this location!"

"Marinera sauce with the Arancini Siciliani (Sicilian Riceball) appetizer, was absolutely delicious, I have no words to describe how thick, smooth, creamy, rich tasteful this sauce is! Fantastic! You get 2 rice balls, crammed full of flavorful mozzarella cheese. My main dish was the Scaloppine di Pollo ai Funghi which is chicken with mushrooms which comes with seasoned vegetables cooked to absolute perfection, hot crispy carrots green beans with a fair scoop of seasoned mashed potatoes topped with the juices from the wine soaked seared chicken and CD. Sorry no photos, it was too late, I dug in with my first bite and could not stop eating.For dessert I went for ita ll with a Nutella filled calzone covered with fresh fruit powdered sugar including a scoop of fresh vanillaice cream, careful this dish could feed 6 all by itself. Gotva photo for this. Enjoy please try any dish, I can 't imagine a place with such a great flavor size serving you could ever get anything but great food. I will be back"

"We visited this restaurant on a Saturday morning because it was located near the ocean, had great reviews, and coincidentally shared the same name as our mother, Mary. We were very happy with the generous servings, tasty food, and friendly staff. Our server, Alicia, was attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist us. If we ever find ourselves in Oceanside again, we will definitely return to this restaurant. Thank you!"

"Very friendly staff and great location for beer, wine and cocktails. Huge beer list! Try one of their cocktails. You're delicious! We didn't try the food, but it smells good. You serve breakfast all day and a large menu that is sure to have something for everyone. Many big TVs to see what you like. Fun vibe with a sports bar atmosphere."

"The employees are very kind and attentive. However the cleanliness of the restaurant and the quality of food made me regret choosing to go to Felix's instead of my usual place next door. Issues: Ordered coffee and they didn't have regular creamer, they only have French vanilla. We asked for sugar because the sugar tray was filled with empty packets of opened sugar. Both of our coffee cups were extremely dirty. I ordered the fried Chicken and waffles because that is one of my favorite Southern meals and it was lacking flavor. We also ordered the salmon croquet and it was horrible as it was extremely dry, overcooked, and not fresh salmon. The cleanliness of the facility bothered me most. The floor is sticky and oily. Everything is covered in dirt or grease. Honestly if the food was spectacular the cleanliness would have bothered me less."

"This is our go to Italian restaurant. Far better than any spot in San Diego we?ve been to! From the Cesar salad (definitely add salmon or shrimp! with the exquisite dressing to the eggplant parm or lasagna, the food is absolutely excellent. The service is fantastic. Attention to detail in their menu and ambiance leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommended. We have been here many times over the years and are never disappointed!"

"I showed up with a friend here on Saturday. The menu is unusual and original. The dishes and drinks were very good, service also very good. There was a big problem with the dining area and these were the flies. Each table is equipped with a propeller to keep the fly away. Unfortunately, it is ineffective and we ate our main course with about 20 big flies just around us. I ate in other farms on this street and there were no flies at all. Of course it was very unpleasant. Here too, I cannot mistake the delicious food, drinks or great service. If they can do anything about flying, I'll be back."

"Just the biggest garbage food at high prices! They think they are the only game in town but boy are they wrong. The people behind the counter when the owner is not there talk to you like a piece of s_it. The owner obviously cares less or he would have done something about it! I'm done and you should look at their quality for what you pay. You won't be back either once you see it clear as a bell!"

"I’ve had some good experiences and some bad experiences here at this location. My main gripe is that when I get takeout the fries are always cold when I get home. I live about 8 minutes away. Today when I was waiting for my order I finally realized why this consistently happens. They make the sides well before the burgers are even started and they place them on a take out tray directly below an air conditioner vent. Then once they’re ready to bag it up, they stack them in a paper bag with napkins in between. What little heat they have left creates steam and they sit there and get soggy on the way home. For something as simple as fries and onion rings— and especially for a to go order, is it that difficult to prepare them to order? I hate being a jerk and complaining to them but I also hate soggy fries and cold onion rings…"

"They are good if you’re indecisive and don’t want to wait for seating elsewhere. They have HUGE portions and huge prices. I actually don’t like this, I would prefer more appropriate portions and adjust the price accordingly. Many places across the country are upping portions to justify upping the cost. You eat and are left with another meal, maybe two, with of food. But the food has always been good. I’ve gotten eggs and hash breakfast, gyros, burgers and fries, it has all been very good."

"I visited this restaurant for lunch and was impressed by their new lunch menu. It's fantastic, with each item being on the lighter side, making it a great option for a midday meal. Plus, the value is excellent!"

"This is a very solid and seemingly popular sushi spot. Although I have not tried any of them, the daily special appetizers were quite unique and tasty. The sushi menu is specialized; it is small compared to most sushi spots, but they use unique shrimp/ sauces and flavors that you may not see in your typical place. Even the flavors of the restaurant were different from any other sushi place where I did (in a good way)! The hedgehog was excellent and more than one server said it was their favorite role; the subtle crunch, sprinkled with salt and garlic. I'll remember that for a while. The Green Lantern and salmon nigiri were both solid and high quality, but I expected a touch more excitement based on their descriptions. Wrench and Rodent mix culinary genius with fresh seafood and skillful preparation. Despite the Friday crowd, the service was extremely fast. Up from me!"

"I wasn't sure what to expect from this place but being an Oceanside local I felt like we needed to try it at some point or another and I'm happy we did. The drinks were a little different for my taste but that doesn't mean they were bad by any means. The food was delicious. Especially the herb mashed potatoes and the mac and cheese. I like the crispiness of the fried chicken but wish it had a little more flavor to the batter. We Had No Reservations on a Saturday evening and were able to get seated right away which was nice. The server was fantastic and checked on a several times and made sure to fill up our Waters as it was definitely a warmer day. There's a real sense of community at this restaurant and I enjoy that. Overall it was a great experience."
