Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Carlsbad

Always a treat to dine at Vigilucci’s. The service was next level, the fried baby calamari appetizer was light and tender and the seared scallops over mini risotto cakes with a roasted corn, red onion, asparagus, and bell pepper medley, topped with a slightly spicy cherry and sun dried tomato sauce was absolute divinity. Almost forgot the perfectly made old fashioned to kick things off.

Horacio is an exceptional server and got all of our special requests correct. It was an evening with live music on the patio so quite busy. Food was good and the ambience was nice on the cold evening.

This property is gorgeous and the restaurant outstanding! Great location for sunset and ambiance is my first when booking a location at the beach! Outstanding server Jose met and exceeded our request. The meal was absolutely delicious, Hope to return with my husband for his birthday!

This 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.

Came 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, Jeanne
