    I’ve been to Nick’s in Laguna and their two locations in San Clemente. It’s always been wonderfully good food, fair prices and excellent service. Kudos to Caitlin, a beautiful soul and dedicated employee who made dining at Nick’s on State in Carlsbad a delight yesterday!

    I loved literally everything about our evening at Bob’s. Our first cocktail in the bar was perfection and the staff were welcoming and efficient. Antonio took excellent care of us at dinner…down to every detail. He was just the right level of patient, fun, and informative. And we cleaned every plate. Melt in your mouth American Wagyu won the night!

    Haley was my server last night. She was amazing and one reason I will be returning. While I was waiting for my friend I was watching a show on my phone and instantly made a friendly connection and that friendliness did not leave her at all. 10/10 server.
