Combine this with an intimate, distinctive dining room, a 5-star approach to service, and a culinary team with a creative flair that’d rival Picasso’s, and you can understand why it’s rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about restaurants in Carlsbad."

"Despite its informal vibe, there’s nothing casual about the quality of food on offer at the excellent Fish District. A fresh, healthy attitude to food (and a commendably sustainable attitude to sourcing) combines with a creative culinary approach to spectacular effect. In fairness, you’ll struggle to go wrong with whatever you choose from the menu, but if you want a real treat, the chowder bacon fries are as decadent as they come."
