Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in San Marcos

One of the best meals I have had in a very long time. We were warmly greeted by the host at check in. It was clear, they were ready for us as they confirmed my note on Open Table that my husband and I were excited to celebrate the new 2025 year as we both will be celebrating monumental years of our lives. My dear friend whose nearby joined us to make it a party of 3. Plenty of parking was available around the corner. No valet needed. Relatively safe. The restaurant was so chic, like an upscale Parisian cafe look. We ordered the prefix menu $120/person and I got the nonalcoholic pairing. (Add’l $60. It was fabulous!!!) They make some of the non alcoholic drinks in house. We started with some complimentary crudités that were excellent! Perfect balance of flavors and textures. Ok just gonna share pics and the menu for the night. Some of us got the same thing so I’m just gonna share pics non duplicates. Highly recommend this place! I’ll definitely be back from Texas to just try this place again. Staff was awesome! Attentive and informed us along the courses what was what…and ended the night so happy. I’m still thinking about last nights fantastic dinner! Wagyu was $55 extra I think…and we also got dozen oysters (tried all three types and they were all good). Only able to share 10 pics max so some pics didn’t make it. But seriously if you’re a foodie a must try!! Michelin star chef for a reason!

An excellent dining experience. My wife and I were very happy to find this gem in downtown Escondido. Chef Lisa is doing it right. The quality of food is excellent. The plating is artistic. The staff was very accommodating the from moment you walk through the door to the last bite. Last but not least, they are farm to table supporting local!

It opened in August and we just discovered it. We loved the open design of the place. Savanah was our server and very attentive. The menu is fairly simple but sufficient in variety and they have many hearty dishes, all organic and well prepared. I have mixed feelings about writing a review since I hope it stays available to us on short notice, but I am sure it will become swamped over time.

Great value on the surf and Turk $20.25 meal special.
