Best Historic Restaurants in Carlsbad

Such a cute place. Very comfortable and fun. The drink menu has a couple drinks for 2 to 4 people to share, non-alcoholic tropical drinks, and a good variety of regular tropical drinks served in various unique glasses. My husband had the Painkiller and was given the option of level 1, 2 or 3 depending upon how much pain you want to kill. I had the Caribbean Welcome which was served in a hollowed out coconut. For brunch, he had the Kalua Scramble and I had Chicken and Waffle. Both dishes were outstanding and we brought home the leftovers and had them for dinner. After brunch we went up to the rooftop to the Cococabana and had another drink. Their food menu was the same as the Tiki Bar, but the drink menu was slightly different. It also was a very fun place to visit and had a great view. I would highly recommend coming here for a little slice of the islands. We will be back.

The restaurant housed in this historic building offers a diverse menu. There is something for everyone, the portions are generous and priced right. We enjoy taking our friends and family there and everyone appreciates the museum exhibits. We prefer to eat in the large bar area, but there is a formal dining room as well as large banquet rooms.

The staff at this fine-dining restaurant shared a birthday celebration for my sister. We both had the salmon dish, and I would recommend it without a doubt. What could be nicer than looking out at the Pacific Ocean and enjoying delicious food served with prompt and professional service?

Drove in from Temecula—short beautiful drive through the mountains. Immediately found parking nearby across the street from Mille Fleurs. The ambience is like no other; old school wood, decor and menu with something for everyone. Love that the menu had favorites that were 40 years old. Had the almond crusted seabass that was so tender. The beet salad was perfect—don’t forget to eat the accompanying horseradish dressing. Don’t skip the bread and butter. Wonderful gem in Rancho Santa Fe.

The Caesar salad was even BETTER than before! The addition of the red pepper coulis, the Parmesan cup, and the little (not too spicy) peppers was FABULOUS! It was even more perfect with the generous portion of salmon. This will be a go-to meal for sure. And I think the Lobster bisque had even more lobster pieces than usual—it’s ALWAYS divine!
