Best Cosy Restaurants in Oceanside

One of the best meals I have had in a very long time. We were warmly greeted by the host at check in. It was clear, they were ready for us as they confirmed my note on Open Table that my husband and I were excited to celebrate the new 2025 year as we both will be celebrating monumental years of our lives. My dear friend whose nearby joined us to make it a party of 3. Plenty of parking was available around the corner. No valet needed. Relatively safe. The restaurant was so chic, like an upscale Parisian cafe look. We ordered the prefix menu $120/person and I got the nonalcoholic pairing. (Add’l $60. It was fabulous!!!) They make some of the non alcoholic drinks in house. We started with some complimentary crudités that were excellent! Perfect balance of flavors and textures. Ok just gonna share pics and the menu for the night. Some of us got the same thing so I’m just gonna share pics non duplicates. Highly recommend this place! I’ll definitely be back from Texas to just try this place again. Staff was awesome! Attentive and informed us along the courses what was what…and ended the night so happy. I’m still thinking about last nights fantastic dinner! Wagyu was $55 extra I think…and we also got dozen oysters (tried all three types and they were all good). Only able to share 10 pics max so some pics didn’t make it. But seriously if you’re a foodie a must try!! Michelin star chef for a reason!

Campfire was AMAZING. Everything about the experience from the hostess stand, bar, and table was great. We immediately made plans to come back. We had the oysters, porridge bread, asparagus, octopus, and steak and we can’t wait to come track and try more!

We were visiting Oceanside and I had read a blog that said to make sure we made a reservation here. Another couple joined us and we were all blown away with the quality of the food (fresh seafood) and the flavors were outstanding. The custom menu was beautifully put together. We enjoyed about 5 appetizers between us, 3 rolls of sushi, and 2 desserts. We couldn't stop. Make sure to make a reservation because there was a line outside of about 30 people who waited about an hour. Highly recommend!

A great concept but very limited menu. Removed a favorite-the squash-and substituted it with an easier to prepare dish. Five skinny slices of Prager Brothers bread for $4.00 was excessive.

The newest offering from the same team that brought us Jeune et Jolie and Campfire, Wildland is a breath of fresh air. Its an interesting combination of fast casual meets hospitality and "when you're here you're family" (but not in the fake Italian sort of way). The menu is concise and has something for every palette, which is helpful, and the drinks are very good (similar to Campfire). The ambiance is cozy but minimal as there is a LOT going on. The open kitchen, bar and bakery make for eye candy everywhere. My favorite bite was the Clams, followed closely by the Mafaldine pasta. The pizzas were above average but could use a little more generosity on the toppings. The Pistachio tiramisu is a must try. We look forward to trying breakfast... and lunch. Well done team
