Excellent service courtesy. Our 1st time there for dessert only and we?re treated with great service. We?re coming back for our... next day dinner. They also have live band which is more enjoyable to watch Read more

Orfila's Oceanside location never disappoints. The wine is great, the food is wonderful, and the service is always amazing. They... have indoor and outdoor seating, and often live music. One of our favorite places in Oceanside. Read more

I want to start by saying I am sad to be writing this bad review, and it is the only bad review I have ever written. I have been... a member at Orfila since 2016 and I really enjoyed taking my friends and family to both the Escondido Winery and the OceansideTasting Room any chance I got. A few people that I've introduced the place too have since become members as well. I also madefriends with past employees. The last few experiences however have left me disappointed, and the most recent experience evenembarrassed that I picked this place to take some of my favorite people. We walked in and were given an option of a table orbar, we elected bar to watch some football and socialize. Katherine immediately did NOT like us, and she blatantly ignored us.However a newer employee helped us. Then Katherine whispered something to her, and the newer employee did not return to us, oreven make eye contact. Another new employee came by and we asked a question, he was pleasant and engaging, until Katherinetalked to him as well, and then nobody else talked to us until they brought our bill. It was obvious we were not welcome there,and I can only make assumptions about why, and they aren't good. I will say the food is fantastic and the wine is good. Pre-COVID this place was incredible and my favorite spot. Since COVID I have been disappointed however I have tried to beunderstanding. Most of the employees do not know wine, they can't do tastings past 5:00, and when they do tastings they pour alltastings at the same time so they do not educate about the wine or even guide the order. All in all it is no longer a winetasting experience, just a bar where you can only get wine. If you want to go for rude service but excellent food, it is theplace for you! Read more

I really enjoyed my experience. Its estate wines are fantastic & what nibbles we had and saw served to other tables, simply... devine. I know where we are & that comes at a premium, but I cannot rate this five-star because of its value. That is worth apoint to me. Enjoy this experience yourself, but expect to pay a lot for it.

Usually very very good. Nice menu choices. Flavorful. But on 2 recent trips the are out of items which is disappointing. Burger... over done even when sent back?maybe a new cook? Staff is very wonderful and the wines are great. I?m hoping they go back to the5 star place they were. Read more

Nice outdoor patio. Great place to relax and people watch. Wine is delicious. Nice SoCal experience.

Incredible! Hands down the best Spanish octopus dish (starter) my boyfriend and I have ever tried and I've been in the... restaurant industry for 21 years! Tried the flight of 4 different wines of our choice and that paired nicely with the prosciuttoand burrata starter dish as well as the mussels in the white sauce! YUM!! The chef even came out to see how everything wasgoing. Cheers and thanks again Orfila for a wonderful experience! Read more

Nice little wine bar deep in the heart of Downtown Oceanside. Indoor and outdoor seating, though the patio is much larger and... more popular. Glasses of vino are around $12+. They have a large menu of food. We only tried the fried artichoke, which wasvery tasty but perhaps a little "too" fried. It was very crispy. Very pleasant staff. Read more
