Best Historic Restaurants in San Marcos

Always a treat to dine at Vigilucci’s. The service was next level, the fried baby calamari appetizer was light and tender and the seared scallops over mini risotto cakes with a roasted corn, red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper medley, topped with a slightly spicy cherry and sun dried tomato sauce was absolute divinity. Almost forgot the perfectly made old fashioned to kick things off.

The lobster rolls are as delicious as I remember them being. Pual the manager continues to be charming and welcoming. We will be back again many times this holiday season.

Mille Fleurs is a true gem, offering an exceptional dining experience that is second to none. From the moment we stepped into the warm, elegant ambiance, we knew we were in for something special. The attention to detail in both the decor and service is impeccable, making it perfect for a romantic evening or a celebratory meal. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the service. Rob, our server, went above and beyond to ensure every moment was flawless. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made us feel like honored guests. He was knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, offering fantastic recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. As for the food—simply exquisite. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The seasonal ingredients were clearly of the highest quality, and the chef’s creativity shone through in every bite. From the appetizers to the decadent dessert, each course was a masterpiece. Mille Fleurs offers not just a meal, but a memorable experience. With outstanding service (thank you, Rob!) and extraordinary cuisine, this is a restaurant I can’t recommend highly enough. We’re already planning our next visit!

Our experience was great. We were seated by the window with a view of the ocean. The food was prepared to perfection. Simply a wonderful time.

Great place to watch sports for sure. Cocktails and beer selection is fantastic! We had crab cakes for an appetizer, outstanding. The shrimp and grits is very authentic New Orleans style. Great burger too. We are adding this to our rotation.
