Oceanside - 2018-2019

Wrench and
Rodent Seabasstropub

An eclectic sustainable sushi joint whose uniqueness starts at the name, extends to the skate-punk decor, and continues to nearly every item on the seafood-heavy menu, which also has a plant-based section vegans will love. Chef Davin Waite prides himself on not wasting anything, which means creative uses of uncommon ingredients.

Cyclops Farms

The produce from this urban organic farm can be found at local restaurants around town, or you can check out the source itself during the weekly farm stand and monthly “water bill” events catered by local chefs.

Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen

Local and DIY are taken very seriously here. To wit: They butcher, cure, and smoke their meat in-house, bake their own bread, make fresh pasta, and serve organic, local, sustainable meat and seafood.

The Privateer Marketplace
& Wine Bar

Adjacent to its sister pizza joint, the marketplace features desserts and other local specialties, plus wine by the glass, bottle, or flight and local events of all kinds.

Petite Madeline Bakery
& Bistro

Chef Christine Loyola offers an indulgent selection of rotating brunch specials and baked goods she makes from scratch, as well as elegant custom cakes for special occasions.

Urge Gastropub Dark wood and leather adorn this space, where reinvented American classics are served alongside craft beer and a dizzying array of whiskeys that are quite neat.

The Miller’s Table The craft beer and wine menu changes frequently here, while the menu of charcuterie, leafy green salads, sandwiches, Spanish classics, and more continues to impress.
