   Another great experience at The Lobby. Our drinks were tasty and the food delicious, especially the Hawaiian Cuban Sandwich. Yummy! Service was friendly and helpful. Note: It can be a bit chilly in there so bring something warm just in case.

   Very solid tiki option with food in Oceanside. Cocktails and food are great. Not many tables so make a reservation.

   It’s an awesome vibe! Cool drink selection. I ordered the Chilaquiles, which were a little too tangy with only 1 egg and a bunch of chips. The French toast looked good, egg sandwiches looked good, donuts were delicious!

   Absolutely love this tiki bar. It’s our second time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Food is great. Bartenders and drinks are amazing and love the manager we met both times. Super friendly and inviting.

   Welcome to the neighborhood. You’ve got all the right ingredients but could use a little fine tuning. First off the music selection was on point but it’s a tad too loud. Couldn’t have a conversation while enjoying drinks and dinner. Second, everyone from the tiki world will try your Mai Tai first and judge your place based on the quality of it. The particular rums used in your version lack a certain depth and flavor. Has all the right pieces. Lastly, as you grow I encourage you to swap out some of the more generic semi-tiki decor elements with more authentic gear. Turns out there are some vendors right here in Oceanside that can help! Overall great place and I loved my Kaula tacos

   This place is fun. The food was better than average and the cocktails were creative and well executed. The tiki theme is well done, right down to the soundtrack. Inside is more vibes than the outdoor patio. The service on the patio was a little slow. That’s the one area they could step it up.

   The atmosphere and service were great. We went for brunch and the food was underwhelming to put it mildly. We had kalua pork and chicken and waffles which were basic, would not come again for the food. Maybe dinner menu is better?

    Great service ! Amazing drinks. The food was so good - we had the wings, poke and coconut shrimp. So glad there is such a great Tiki bar in Oceanside
