Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Carlsbad

Always love Chandler's. Our meals were great. Only one comment about the Black Cod with a very mild lemon sauce. Although it was very good, there were pepper flakes or something small that was very hot in the sauce or on the vegetables. Whatever it was got in my throat and made me cough and my eyes water numerous times. I didn't expect the mild sauce to have any hot peppers in it or I wouldn't have ordered it. The pomegranate & pear salad was excellent, as was the squash soup. The short ribs and the prime rib my dinner companions ordered were delicious. The creme brulee was good but the sugar must have been carmelized earlier in the day so the dish was cold without the treat of the warm carmelized sugar topping on top of the cool custard.

Nice Thanksgiving prefix. Thanks. Nice beer selection also.

I always ask for a table on the patio to insure a quiet time. They have plenty on heaters and blankets if you need extra warmth. I have never had a server that was not cheerful and helpful. This time I had empanadas and my friend had the harvest salad and shared their Cabernet bottled for them in Napa. We both were quite pleased with our choices. This is my go to restaurant for a lovely outdoor evening.

Tony and Ray took great care of our table. We had a lovely dining experience, food was absolutely delicious and perfectly curated.

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.
