On a busy Friday night with four tables occupied, this was inexcusable. The food took an unusually long time to arrive, and instead of addressing the issue, they only offered excuses. Now, let's discuss the music. Playing AC/DC at such a high volume is not suitable for a relaxing dinner atmosphere. We even had to ask them to turn it down. It’s puzzling why they chose AC/DC and Def Leppard for background music in a dining setting. A quick look around would reveal that this type of music doesn’t fit the demographic of the dinner crowd on a Friday night. As they say, “read the room.” Overall, it was a disappointing experience. However, I would consider returning just for drinks and chips at the bar, where the music might be more appropriate.

The margaritas were made with a bright green mix, even when ordering from their top-shelf options. On a Friday night in Encinitas, the place was surprisingly empty, which should have raised some red flags about the quality and overall experience.

Sunday late morning/early afternoon no coffee, no tea, no hot drinks. This is the middle of November, and much of the restaurant food service is outdoors, although well covered. And NO COFFEE or TEA. Seriously, FIX THIS.

There was a comedy show happening, and there wasn't any seating available at the bar. Unfortunately, no one seemed to care to assist us.

Unfortunately, there were only a few tables that could accommodate five people, so we requested to push two tables together. The tabletops weren’t clean, prompting us to ask for someone to wipe them down. The service was extremely slow, even though there were only a handful of customers present. To our disappointment, they didn’t have any whiskey, despite having called ahead to confirm that the bar was fully stocked, as we were told. The food was just average, and one dish had to be returned because the tuna was overcooked and tough; however, they kindly removed that from our bill. While sitting outside was enjoyable, the trains that passed directly behind the restaurant, blowing their horns, made it difficult to carry on a conversation.
