    The service was great. First time in Oceanside and I stumbled across this place. The pasta was amazing as well as the gumbo. Being from the south the food gave a comfort feel

    Every bite of food is so delicious and full of flavor - we had the brussels sprouts, steak sandwich, Caesar salad with jerk chicken, fish and chips - it was all amazing! The staff are lovely and helpful, you can tell this is a good team and they enjoy what they do. The restaurant is cozy, with cool decor and ambiance.

    Would be nice if it was clear on reservations if the table is a high top or regular table. One of our party has issues sitting at high tops

    This restaurant has a great vibe! This was my second visit to Q&A and the food continues to be amazing! They also have good deals for a round of drinks to be shared with a party of 3-5. Highly recommended checking out this place out!

    The food was excellent but even better than the food was the jazz band. Soto 6 has a great sound and amazing players. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I highly recommend the jazz brunch at the brick hotel.

    Experience was awesome. Definitely an amazing birthday dinner. Only complaint was I wish I would have known they were having DJ battle that night because it was exceptionally loud. Other than that I will be a returnimg customer

    I live right up the street and this is my first time visiting this restaurant. Needless to say we had an amazing time. We got two different types of oysters. They were both amazing. The steak is one of the best I’ve had in a long time and the pasta was so rich and delicious! Highly recommend we will be back again! Also, the cocktails were delicious!
