- TTinaSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat. We enjoyed the Rueben, and the Mac and Cheese. It was all delicious. We had the butter cake which is very popular. For me it was too much like cheesecake which is good but not what I was expecting.More infoLe Papagayo CarlsbadPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•4.5
- PPollyvipSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 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 on Nov 16, 2024This 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
- 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. Warm regards, JeanneMore infoCanyons at The CrossingsPrice: Moderate• American• Carlsbad•4.4
