Los restaurantes mediterráneos más populares en Oceanside

Service, view and ambiance were amazing but the food fell short.

Good food and drinks. Overall a great restaurant with decent prices. Service is great and the piano playing in the background is very relaxing. I would definitely go back. Dessert was a hit.

Merenda Wine is such an exciting new addition to our vibrant Oceanside community! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt cheerful and welcoming, like gathering with friends in a stylish yet cozy space. We started our meal with the pasta cappellacci filled with ricotta, artichokes, and spinach, all drizzled in a rich beurre sauce. This dish was pure bliss; I could easily eat it every day. Honestly, it’s some of the best pasta I’ve ever tasted! Next up was the koji-cured pork chop topped in a savory romesco sauce, accompanied by a mustard leaf salad. Every bite was juicy and tender, practically melting in my mouth. And let’s not forget the salad! Who knew mustard greens could be so flavorful? They added a delightful zing that paired perfectly with the pork. For dessert, we indulged in the tres leches cake topped with creamy frosting and guava rose jam. Our server shared a touching story about how this recipe was passed down from the chefs mother, who made it for him on tough days. I can totally see why because each bite was so heavenly that it made the night even better! The wine selection was exceptional, perfectly complementing our meal. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance struck a wonderful balance between hip and homey, making us feel right at ease. Every detail contributed to a memorable experience, and I left feeling excited to return. Overall, Merenda Wine is a true gem in Oceanside, and I can't wait to go back for another incredible meal!

Great view and atmosphere. Patio heaters were not working, which would have been nice.
