If you are Vegan and you would like a good meal, definitely go somewhere else. Options are scarce and NOT GOOD. The chef was not interested in being accommodating. If you are not vegan, the food seems to be fine. Just…fine.

I’m really sad to write this review because I had high expectations. We booked a reservation for seven people for a little Baby Sprinkle for one of our friends this past Sunday. When we arrived at our 10:30am reservation, they seemed like they didn’t know about the reservation. At that point they had to get the table set up, which took about 15 minutes. I had intentionally made a reservation for inside and they sat us outside where unfortunately there were bees/flies and the ambience wasn’t what we had planned on. Online it states that breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 11 AM and has a full menu. Unfortunately when we were sat we are informed that there is a much smaller menu on Saturday and Sunday because they offer brunch. We were not planning on getting brunch, so this was disappointing to find out. The server was nice, but once we ordered our food he never came back until we were done with all our food which lead to no one’s water being filled up until a much later time. Overall it was a nice place, and we went in with an expectation of having nicer service due to the pricing of things, and the overall quality of the restaurant, but unfortunately, we were sadly disappointed. Seems like there was a lack of communication in multiple areas of the business. I only write this review so that hopefully they can improve and better serve future groups of people.

We stayed at the seabird and dined at piper because of the Amex platinum rewards. We were absolutely delighted by this restaurant!! All of the service was incredibly attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, the food was delicious and served quickly and hot. For dinner we split the whole branzino with market vegetables and it was divine. My fiancé almost always complains that portions aren’t big enough for his appetite, but even he was full. The tuna appetizer was so good!! For breakfast we loved the super açaí bowl.
Special shoutout to our evening waitress, I’m so sorry I forgot her name, but she also gave us tons of tourism tips for Oceanside

We stayed at the Mission Pacific Resort and breakfast was included with our FHR booking. Reservation was made through the desk at check in. Our 9am time a lot was easy to handle in a weeks day. The crowd was very light…weekends are much busier…a buffet is served on weekends.
We were seated at a window table with a nice view of the outside street and terrace. The menu had lots of options that all sounded delicious. Beginning with a cappuccino that is the best I have had lately in my travels…thick, foamy and full of flavor. Selecting the Crab Eggs Benedict, my wife had the O’side breakfast. The food all came relatively quickly. The poached eggs on my Benedict were overcooked The rest of the breakfast was cooked just right and was filling and full of flavor.
