Canyons Restaurant at The Crossings at Carlsbad

Wonderful view. Absolutely stunning atmosphere inside and friendly service!

Great views and really good value and service for the cost.

Went for Lunch with some friends food and service was outstanding

Could add some more vegetarian options

Came here for a work lunch with about ten people. They sat us outside at three large round tables pushed together. This was a very strange arrangement as you can imagine. Very surprised they didn't just pull out a large rectangular table but tis the holiday season so maybe they were being saved for some other event. We all ordered from a printed paper menu that appears to be far limited than the regular lunch menu online. Fish & chips for example was not available on this menu. I ordered the Traditional Caesar Salad ($12) and added Anchovy Fillets ($2) and steak ($15). The salad was just "ok". I've had so many phenomenal versions of the Caesar (like a "Kale Caesar with Toasted Pine Nuts & Capers") but the Canyons version was just basic. I even added steak hoping to amp up the flavors but the steak was a bit chewy and just sliced in a strange manner. I had to ask for a steak knife to cut it into smaller pieces. Although it was ok, I would not order it again. Someone else ordered a Club Sandwich and that looked amazing. Our server (didn't get her name) was the real takeaway from our experience. She was so full of energy and even joked around with us a bit, and helped to take a group picture. She was the best thing about lunch today. The views here are spectacular and the weather was a bit nippy...another odd thing about lunch. They seemed to be moving all the tables inside around for maybe some function later but I didn't see ANY other customers here besides us. Parking lot was packed, but there does seem to be plenty of parking which is good. I believe they even have valet.

We came in for a quick dinner after being on the road. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! The bartender was our waiter, and we couldn't have asked for better service. He was outstanding!!!

Beautiful views to the ocean from the balcony. Great friendly service from the staff. Disappointingly few vegetarian options on the menu, although the chef went 'off menu' for us to make a green salad spinach wrap. Hope he gets it on the menu. Vegetarian options: Very few
