Best Historic Restaurants in Vista

This Tiki bar is so amazing ! The decor is so good and there was even Obama dancers ! The drinks were SO SO good and the food was great too. Ben stoped by to see if the service was good and it was !! So glad this bar has opened in Oceanside ! I can’t wait to go back !!!

Good quality Italian food. It has never been cheap however with the impact of inflation on every restaurant they are now reasonably priced also. My wife and I put down 4 Compari Tonics, the house antipasto platter and two pasta entrees with no room left for dessert. $164.before tip.

What a wonderful Christmas dinner! This restaurant consistently exceeds expectations. The food is always fantastic and the staff is very professional, attentive and very friendly!

Literally the best meal I have ever had. It can be fancy enough for date night, but is casual enough to pop in with a t-shirt on. Service is phenomenal, stops by managers/owners/chefs--I can't say enough. Go....soon!
