Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Vista

Pacific Coast Grill is my favorite restaurant in California. It has the most amazing views and there ia not a bad seat in the place,."" The staff skilled, efficient, friendly, and amazingly accommodating... AND THE FOOD!!! INCREDIBLE, CREATIVE, perfectly prepared and presented. Menu is heavily seafood, but with enough items for the non-fish lover. And save room for the amazing desserts! The one dish one has to try is the shrimp dumpling appetizer. Nothing like it!!

Mr. A's never disappoints. We love coming here to celebrate special milestones in our lives.

We had a fantastic time at Herb & Wood. Since we were both busy on Valentine’s Day, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the restaurant greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. Our reservation was at 5 PM, so the restaurant wasn’t too crowded yet, but even as it filled up, the level of attentiveness remained exceptional. Our waiter, Troy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. For appetizers, we had the Sicilian Crudo and one of Troy’s suggestions—a warm dinner bread served with butter, honey, and herbs. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, my husband had the Iberico Pork, and I had the Roasted Branzino. The Branzino was packed with herbs and flavors—I usually can’t finish a large meal, but I couldn’t stop eating it. We were too full for dessert, though I wish we had saved room! It was our first time at Herb & Wood, but it’s now on our list of favorite restaurants for special occasions.

My boyfriend and I came for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and we got a sangria and Old fashioneds which were great!!The food was AMAZING. The Parker house rolls, the mussels, the steaks 🤌🏼 The only negative thing I have to say is that because we had a later reservation (10:00) we felt pretty rushed to order our food, thus feeling rushed to leave. It didn’t negatively affect our experience too much because the food was so bomb but definitely expected a higher level of service (minus the bussers and food runners who were friendly and great).

Love this restaurant! The food was all outstanding but the oysters and broccoli are beyond!!! We had a great server Zach and the service was top notch!! Great experience -very much recommend!!
