Best restaurants near me in Encanto, CA

The food was amazing. Definitely recommend getting the bread service. The Mac and cheese was perfect and the alcoholic beverages amazing. Had the Wagyu and Ribeye which were both prepared to the T. Compliments to the wait staff as well. Just what I’m looking for from my waiter. Wish I remembered his name but he was great.

Such a cool experience at Inside Out! We had the 5:00 reservation and arrived right on time. Even though there was a line to get in, they were just opening and the line went really fast. Once you step inside, you are greeted with the most amazing experience of holiday decorations that are not only beautiful but very whimsical! We ordered their specialty drinks and were not disappointed. They were delicious! Wa did not order any appetizers, and went straight to our entrees. I had the chicken and my friend had the salmon. Soooo good! We also ordered the garlic bread (meh) and the red potatoes. I highly recommend the potatoes!!! All in all, we had a great experience and would definitely go back again! Our server was great and I wish I could remember his name, sorry!

I love The Prado at Balboa Park and have been a frequent diner there for many years. It never disappoints and Thanksgiving Day was no exception. We arrived and were immediately greeted and sat on the patio. I requested the patio. There were several diners but it wasn't busy, yet. We were brought water and our server Kara came over and took our beverage order and let us know about the new cocktails and the pre-fixe menu. She helped us make adjustments with what we ordered. Our first course, the beet salad, came out and we were able to eat and chat and enjoy each bit before our entrees came out. Mom and I had the traditional turkey meal and friend had the prime rib. We all tucked right into our meals and they were all so good. There was plenty of food and there was no way we could finish our delicious meals. Dessert was also packed up to go with our leftovers. More families had come in to dine and the energy on the patio was great. We sat and had another cocktail and had wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving Day.

Having Callie on our list of food experiences for a while now, we treated ourselves to Thanksgiving there. It was the best! We were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome by the hosting staff. Love the ambiance and the background music that was playing! Just the right volume that was enjoyable to hear but not too much that you could hold a conversation with your party. The food was delicious, we had the traditional turkey meal with the sides, every dish was perfectly seasoned, and paired with the perfect wine. The service staff are so friendly and work so well with each other leading to a wonderful presented meal from start to finish. We even were sent home with a turkey sandwich to enjoy at home! Had the opportunity to meet Chef Travis to thank him and his staff for such a wonderful meal! We will be back for sure !

Great place to drink and socialize with friends/family. The spaceship themed ambience was most excellent. Tapas style bites to eat were very good. Will go here again.
