“ Great happy hour! Lots of selections for 7! Spinach salad and 10 shrimp were excellent! Fried food too - artichokes and calamari. The clam chowder was a little salty for me. Lots of other choices too. Friendly service. ”
“ Had a birthday party here. Servers were well trained and very polite. Food was absolutely top-notch. The place was clean. We set up a couple of weeks in advance, which was a great idea. There was a 20-minute wait to have our our order taken and the ambient noise was a little much. Those issues were very minor. I would absolutely have another event here. Two thumbs up. ”
“ Delicious start to finish! Their fondue is a must try menu item. Everything was delectable and filling. The atmosphere was very pleasant and our server Anne did an amazing job. We were served quickly with no wait times. We were taken care of the whole night and had a very good experience! Always recommend this place to everyone. ”
“ We came here for my friend’s birthday happy hour and had such a great experience. The patio is super cute and perfect for relaxing with drinks and apps. We tried the calamari, oysters, and potato skins—all delicious. I had their on-tap blonde beer (the name escapes me, but it was fantastic), plus a Brig Margarita and a tequila soda—everything hit the spot. The happy hour deals are solid, and the staff could not have been nicer. Definitely coming back! ”
“ I always start with the Napa valley nachos. Everything is delicious and fresh. I got the bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab. Very good. The drinks are delicious too. Recommend. If you are on a budget try going during happy hour and sitting at the bar seating. ”
“ They have a great happy hour, you can make it dinner it's so good! The shrimp cocktail is amazing, 10 cold cooked perfectly shrimp! Sliders of different choices, salads, nachos with house made potato chips and then there's the regular menu! The wait staff were friendly, fast and helpful! A gem in Escondido! ”
“ We enjoyed an early dinner, around 5pm. Our waitress was friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food was delicious, although the clam chowder could probably be better described as a bisque. We felt happy with our choice to eat here. ”
