What an incredible restaurant experience! The ambiance was absolutely perfect--breezy, inviting, and effortlessly beautiful. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm and exceptional service. The food was not only delicious but also presented with great attention to detail, making it as much a feast for the eyes as for the palate. We sampled a variety of dishes, and every single one was bursting with flavor--truly a treat. I must give a special shout-out to our server, who went above and beyond. He was incredibly patient, friendly, and polite, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. In fact, their exceptional service alone is enough to make me want to return! It's unfortunate that I live so far away, but if I were closer, this would definitely become a regular spot for me. Hats off to the team for running such a stunning place! You've created something truly special.

Gorgeous restaurant with a lovely rooftop seating area right near the water in Carlsbad Village. The beautiful ambiance, delectable food and warm staff certainly made for a very pleasant experience. Only complaint was that my entree arrives before my appetizer did! Perhaps just a mixup in the kitchen. Coffee Roasted Carrots Complements to the chef because this dish was amazing. That delicious hit of coffee flavor paired with a Aleppo honey glaze and served on a bed of Calabrian yogurt. Highly recommend this appetizer to start with Short Rip Pappardelle Came highly recommended by my server and it certainly did not disappoint. A perfect portion of house made pappardelle serviced with mushroom, confit garlic & beef jus. Absolutely delicious. I did however find one clove of raw garlic in my dish that I set aside. Panna Cotta A nice & light end to a great culinary experience. Simply can't go wrong with this Italian classic.

Food was great! Sitting upstairs on the rooftop is very relaxing & great vibes. Kristy was an awesome server, always checking in on us and refilling our drinks. Highly recommend!

Great place! Has a nice view of the ocean at the top. They have excellent service! The cocktails are good. The food is pretty good and it's not too filling and there's plenty of leftovers. We came here for my bf's bday so they gave us a free dessert. Definitely coming back for brunch and happy hour.

We made a reservation for 6:45pm So walked around with time to kill and enjoy the beach and the beautiful day We walked up and we were sat right away, in the patio we wanted..out here we could watch all the beautiful pizza pie's come out so quickly I knew what I wanted when we sat down for dinner, Pizza but not just any pizza Mortadella and pistachio It was heaven, cooked just perfect and a watermelon salad too, our server was Jen with a big smile too. She had everything right. The fish was cooked to perfection And thee Chilean Sea Bass With a good glass of wine for me Sauvignon Blanc And my pizza & delicious watermelon salad was all we needed...

Kylie was so amazing we are from the Netherlands and could not ask for a better experience!!!! Wine, food, ambiance, Kylie so incredible!!!

I've gone for dinner and happy hour and both experiences are great! Their rooftop is fun and you get a peak of the ocean, but it gets hot very easily when it's sunny. The bartenders and servers are super friendly and the food is great. My favorite happy hour item is the fettuccine Alfredo ($9)! It's creamy and garlicky and the chicken isn't dry. The truffle Parmesan fries ($6) are more like wedges and they were mealy, but the outside crunch and flavor were great. Caesar salad ($7) was good and meatballs ($8) were good. The carbonara ($24) is my favorite non happy hour item and the spaghetti aglio e olio was surprisingly delicious! It didn't feel like it was overly oily and had a slightly kick to it

Dined here with my Best Friend Friday night. The Weather was a bit cloudy but there was still Sunshine peaking through the clouds & barely even a breeze. She and I definitely wanted to order their Eggplant Parmigiana again since we enjoyed it so much the last time we dined here, and decided against a pizza and went with a Dish I've really never tasted before, it was the Chicken Marsala, served with marinara, mozzarella, ricotta & parmesan. WOW! It was Super Delicious!! Both of us totally enjoyed the awesome dish. We were devouring it before I had a chance to get a photo it smelled and tasted so Delicious & Made Our Evening so Much Better since we Loved It! * Service was Great * Food Tasted Awesome * * Ambiance was really nice * Weather was Pleasant * Our Server Lucas made sure everything was to our liking. Overall the two of us Had an Enjoyable Dinner!

264 Fresco did not disappoint! There are two completely different vibes you can enjoy. Upstairs is a groove rooftop bar and restaurant. It's 21 and over, no kids allowed. It has a ridiculously gorgeous view of the water and gets pretty rowdy on the weekend. Super cute cabana areas. Alex was an amazing bartender who gave us incredible service and yummy cocktails. Downstairs is a full service restaurant. I enjoyed then Chilean Seabass that was cooked to perfection. I would suggest getting a side with it, the puree and corn it's on isn't really a meal. We enjoyed fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken. We had a Cesar salad everyone enjoyed. The wine and cocktail selections are fantastic! My kids were hangry and enjoyed the truffle fries for an appetizer. This is a really great date night spot!
