- TTerriWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOverall, we had a fantastic experience in our group of 6 a nd would recommend a visit. Everything was delicious that our group tried. Among the favorites were the bahn mi meatballs (though small and few), eggplant bulgogi, lobster croquettes, veal chop, bucatini, potato puree, Brussels sprouts, broccolini. Our server and entire staff were great, friendly, and attentive. Choosing your own steak knife seemed a little pretentious. The room noise level did get a little loud, so it became difficult to hear across a large table despite being in a back corner.More infoEmber & RyePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Carlsbad•4.6
- TTerryVIPPhiladelphia County •76 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe found this place searching Yelp and loved the Tapas concept. Once we arrived, I noticed Prime Rib was on the menu, one of my favs! So we ordered the Artichoke Btms, Shrimp Ceviche, and the Prime Rib. Everything was a wow / with this being one of the best Prime Rib’s I’ve tasted. The service was great and the prices reasonable. Highly recommended!More infoLe Papagayo EncinitasPrice: Moderate• American• Encinitas•4.4
- LLoriNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis years annual birthday dinner for our friend took place on the west coast for 2025–and after a great stay in Temecula we opted for The Pacific Grill. It did not disappoint! From its gorgeous beach location in Cardiff to the excellent and unhurried service we were thrilled to have such a perfect evening to cap off a “girls weekend”. Starting with specialty cocktails and an excellent premium wine list we enjoyed the heat lamp warmed beach patio for our meal. The shrimp dumplings in a port wine sauce were amazing to start with—I want to come back and try the chilled appetizers with my husband and family. We enjoyed coconut crab crusted mahi mahi and the seafood pasta dish—the smoky tomato sauce with Thai basil was very flavorful on the pasta and the seafood cooked to perfection. A beautiful birthday dessert of house bread pudding and vanilla bean ice cream and specialty cappuccino and teas capped off the night.More infoPacific Coast Grill - CardiffPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Cardiff By The Sea•4.8
