VAGA Restaurant & Bar

The food here was seriously amazing, the kind of food where even when you are full you don’t want to stop eating. Not to mention the service was top-notch, making the whole meal super enjoyable.

PS: fries are not on the menu but as our server pointed out, they do not like to say no at VAGA ❤️

This was the best meal and restaurant experience we have had in years – definitely ranks among one of the best meals we’ve ever had.

The staff was extremely friendly and attentive (with the exception of the bar staff that was overwhelmed- we tried to grab a drink before our reservation time since we arrived early). But that seemed to be related to the wedding event and was quickly swept away as a concern since the reception staff came and told us our table was ready and they could seat us early.

The server and server assistant were both extremely attentive and there for every need.

The food was beyond amazing. The duck taco appetizer was the star of the meal, followed by a close second was the corn risotto – even the bread rolls and butter were divine.

They even provide nice weighted and soft blankets on the backs of the patio chairs to use once the sun goes down. We go the enjoy the sunset and an amazing meal and view from our table.

Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great meal with a great view.

Amazing! Celebrated my birthday with hubby and friends. Arrived early to enjoy the coastal views and check out the lively bar. The bar had more casual dressed crowd with indoor and outdoor spaces. We dined indoors in the lovely more intimate back section of the restaurant. Beautiful decor and tip top service. Highly recommend the Caesar salad – so good! Scallops and shisito peppers were delish. Shared an amazing chocolate desert. Chef Claudette Zepeda had curated a great menu! Staff was so nice, the General
manager checked in on us and was so sweet. Cannot wait to return!

Vaga restaurant and bar in Carlsbad, CA, exceeded all expectations and delivered an unforgettable dining experience that deserves nothing less than five stars. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful Breakfast. The location is amazing, and the ocean view on Tamarack Beach is beautiful. The best pastries I have ever had, I came here to celebrate my husband’s birthday the manager and the staff were wonderful they offered us the pastries for free as a birthday present for my husband, the pastries were fresh and delicious. Hands down the best place, view, and service.

Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great breakfast, brunch, or date night with a great view.

I had the quiche which was good. The salad was a little sad. I had higher expectations, but maybe it was the time of day that I went for lunch. I sat outside, and the view was beautiful and the service was excellent.
