Beautiful and fun vibe at The Rooftop Bar in Oceanside. We had eaten at another establishment and stopped here for a nightcap. Went up the elevator and when we proceed to the bar, quite a line waiting to be seated. Luckily we were with a local and we completely bypassed all of this and went up the ADA ramp and walked right it. We went to the bar area, quickly found a seat. We ordered drinks at the bar and, sadly, did not order food. People next to us had ordered food and we kept looking over our shoulder at the beautiful plates wishing we hadn't just eaten. Delicious drinks and really nice place to take in Oceanside's beachside nightlife. No ratings here on food or service since we didn't partake.

Bar staff were very off putting and did not accept Canadian ID or US issued Nexus card. Our server by the pool also very rarely came by. For somewhere that is trying to be a higher level place I would expect better.

The atmosphere was the only good thing about this place. Bartenders and service were terrible. Overpriced drinks that look beautiful but taste awful.
No one in my party of six liked their cocktail. Definitely disappointing for the money spent, tip and 6% surcharge.

My only critique would be on the Cheese Tray.
Outside of the incredible-just incredible talent you have in Casey(WOW!!). And, the Mediterranean selections were excellent!
But, -you can’t put Port Salut on a Cheese Tray. Happy to help if needed, but that is a factory cheese that has been such for 40 years.
Maybe Tomme Crayeuse? Or a Gruyere/Comte or L’Etivaz?
Or a Stilton or Blue D’Auvergne-or Raw milk Roquefort?.
Want to knock them out? What about Alp Blossum? Talk to Jasper Hill…….?
Port Salut says you are just serving something someone who doesn’t know told you to do.

We celebrated my birthday last Sunday in this location and we were so happy!!! We were a group of 20 people. They made the celebration a success: the food (appetizer style), drinks, mimosas... all was great! The service is a little slow but they are super nice. From the girl that took our reservation being super patient with all the questions we had for her, the manager being flexible with de group of 20 (20 is the limit to be consider private event), to the guy that was serving us (sorry, I forgot his name) who was so sweet and went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. And if this wasn't enough, the sunset views were STUNNING! Such a beautiful celebration!
