- PPollyvipSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat over-all with excellent service. Would have preferred a more varied menu with a couple of additional entrees- possibly a chicken option? and possibly a vegan option. Ceasar salad, bread and soup were very good~ and the flavored butters. A little chilly, but not bad considering is so open air inside. Savanah was a wonderful server xoxoMore infoHavenPrice: Expensive• Californian• Encinitas•4.2

- KKennethLondon •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThis is a restaurant inside a Westin Hotel. There was virtually no one in the restaurant and the menu was rather limited for lunch, so we thought it is probably a miss. But it turned out that the food was quite good. We'll consider coming back for dinner at some point.More info20|TWENTYPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•4.4
- VVictorSan Diego •11 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 10, 2024Our table of four had the prime rib sandwich, chicken piccata, pan seared halibut, and short ribs. Everyone happy with their entrée. Servers are very professional and knowledgeable. There's a lively bar scene and a band stage, so if you're looking for quiet and intimate, this isn't it.More infoLe Papagayo CarlsbadPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•4.5
- JJeanneSan Diego •27 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 6, 2024Came in for lunch on 11/6/24 with my daughter-in-law and my 2 year old grandson. I asked for a highchair, and said maybe they shouldn't seat us close to others in case the toddler acted up or made noise (which he didn't!). They assured me it would be perfectly fine. They weren't worried about it at all, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. It is a gorgeous place with wonderful food and service, and we will be back.
