Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in San Marcos

Our hostess was wonderful. We arrived early and she said there were two seats available in the back bar until our table was ready. Our waiter was pleasant and took time explaining the specials. I chose the lamb shank which was prepared just right to medium. We had a xylophone and guitarist play jazz music! A great Valentine dinner!!

It was a nice visit to Stone. We always enjoy the food and drinks there. Our server was Jack, who was excellent and provided great service.

We will definitely revisit but I was supposed to be outside my only problem I was seated inside when I requested and was told we would be outside besides that amazing and props to Pedro the cook and out server forgot his name but he had a beard and yellow glasses Simply amazing experience

Love this restaurant! The food was all outstanding but the oysters and broccoli are beyond!!! We had a great server Zach and the service was top notch!! Great experience -very much recommend!!

Only 5 of 6 of us ended up making it, & had Gracie as our waitress who was excellent. The Restsurant (indoors) was not very busy (it was a Tuesday evening) …. Yet the lights were dimmed twice & we’re not sure why. Once I can understand but the 2nd time we really felt possibly we were being told it was time to go (it was only getting on 7pm) Other than that, the ambience was great~ temperature great. Food great, Altho it was mentioned a couple of times that it does seem more expensive than places we also go to in Carlsbad. 1/2 this group is from Carlsbad and 1/2 Lake San Marcos. Most had desserts too for the first time ever & raved about them. All had wine. Kudos for Gracie putting up with us!
