We sat on the patio / deck and enjoyed an evening meal. Pan fried scallops, shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, blackened salmon all very good. Ordered a bottle of Austin Hope, Cabernet Sauvignon, very good wine from Paso Robles, CA. Prices were reasonable as compared to other places we have been. Best meal of trip.

Nice outdoor seating if you ride bikes to Oceanside and itâs super close to the train station so very convenient. Has a nice upscale friendly atmosphere and an extensive bar with lots of beer choices to satisfy. I found the fish tacos not to be very tasty, probably because they are grilled and not deep fried. The fish and chips here are great. The food here is good but not as cheap as a burger place. I guess fish costs more. Anyway a nice place to meet and hang with friends.

333 Pacific, an upscale casual dining experience with 180 degree views of Southern California's oceanfront and the night time views of the Oceanside Pier. The high ceilings of 333 Pacific give a modern "loft" feel while suspended panels brings in a warmth

Beautifully done restaurant....great lay out. Wonderful seating, inside and out. Awesome crew of waiters, and Hosts. Manager checked in too. Had the Key Lime Pie Martini, complete with whipped cream on top. That was dessert first...soooo good. The tacos were good, clean eating at its finest. The rosemary yeast rolls..and aioli sweet butter was out of this world. I highly recommend this place...right on the corner at the Pier.

Would have been good breakfast if hot. Never had eggs served so cold. If you go, avoid seating on the coastal highway side - constant sound of trucks racing and gunning it. Very noisy - distrusting. Overall think prior ratings are over rated

Arrived at 11:00 for breakfast. We were seated outside on the harbor (under awning). Looking at the menu we decided to switch from breakfast to lunch, only because weâd been craving fish and chips. Excellent choice. Great service, food, and atmosphere, and at reasonable prices. What else can you ask for?

I ate today at the Local Tap House and it was unbelievable!!! The food and the service were top-notch!!! The inside ambiance is really cool and there also is an out-door patio area. My server, Jessica S., was simply outstanding!!!! Very attentive to my culinary needs and had a wealth of descriptors ready to describe my probable choices!!! Jessica just added to the great experience I was having eating!! Her pleasant disposition and her eagerness and readiness to make sure my experience was great was the BEST!!!!!!! Thanks Jessica!!!!..... I ordered the Kung Pow Cauliflower and the Tuna Crudo Ceviche and both were some of the best dishes I have tasted in the past 11.4 years!!!! They were that tasty and good!!!!! As my readers know, I recently ate at Gaggan in Bangkok, the highest rated restaurant in all of Asia!!!! The food here at LTH was just as good, or better, than Gaggans!!! I am back in Oceanside in January to work again and I will eat hereâ¦â¦.and I will ask Jessica to be my server again!!!!! Simply putâ¦..the food and Jessica were the BEST!!!!! Thanks to the bartender also who served my wines in gargantuan glasses!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!

My date and I always enjoy Felix's. The place offer great food and good prices. The fried chicken and pulled pork is delicious. The sides and desserts will have you coming back too. Don't forget the sweet tea and southern comfort. We love this place.

I love this place! Itâs hard for me to eat breakfast anywhere else. The decor is cool beach vibe. Surfboards, surf photographs, & surfing videos are playing on the tvâs. Everyone is super friendly. Try my favorite, housemade turkey sausage and order their coffee cake instead of toast.
