    We were truly delighted with the Thanksgiving dinner. From the perfect salad to the fabulous prime rib and the amazing desert. The staff was attentive and very nice considering they were working on this special day, they were simply the best in a long time. We now have a new plae to go for dinners out and encourage family and friends to stay at this hidden gem.

    Dreadful. Despite there being virtually no one in the restaurant, service was incredibly slow. Server was inattentive (food took forever, what finally came out was wrong but server never came back to check on us, couldn’t get water or coffee refilled). Food was not good. Hamachi crudo was spoiled. We came for a special birthday brunch and were terribly disappointed. Expected better. We will not be back and don’t recommend.

    We went to 20/Twenty while visiting Carlsbad. Our reservation process was very smooth and we’re greeted by our waiter, Raphael. He was very attentive and addressed us by our names which was very nice. We ordered under the “date night” offer and left feeling very satisfied and very full! The steak was cooked to perfection! The Brie was amazing and all of the vegetables served were fresh. The ambiance was beautiful with fire pits with flame and beautiful lighting. If you are in Carlsbad, don’t hesitate to have dinner there!

    Cocktails were great! The food was meh. Lemon Risotto was not risotto at all. It was like a bowl of plain white rice. No butter, no onion or shallots, no creamy rice from adding and stirring in broth, no Parmesan stirred in to finish. No taste. So disappointing. Not even worth complaining about to wait staff when the kitchen is that far off the mark. Everything else was not up to par either. Ambiance was fine. Website made the food look fabulous, really sorry to say the in person experience was not that.

From now on this will be my birthday meal because it’s truly amazing and worth every penny! Adriana was so friendly…all of the staff was. Thank you everyone and hope to return soon!!!

    We loved the scallops starter, but recommend light on the chili oil. The catch of the day, skin-on black bass, was perfectly seared. The farro and wild rice with parsnip puree was a perfect side. Good service. Special kudos to Joe C. Nice bar. Good wine selection. Perfect SoCal ambiance on the patio. We ate there twice during our ten-day stay. Get the cookies with amaretto coffee for dessert.

    Everything was very good to great: the service, ambiance... The food was excellent and the quantity of food was great. The only thing wrong way was the menu listed by Salmon at $40 and they charged me $ 42. It was not worth the $2 to make a fuss with the waitress but it left a bad taste in my mouth after a great meal.

    Perfect place for dinner! The food was excellent. I’m still dreaming about the Mac and cheese. All of the dishes were creative and fresh. We enjoyed the sunset and ocean views from the patio, and it was just as lovely after dark with the soft lighting and the fire pit. The staff was perfectly attentive and friendly. There was only thing we didn’t like and that was the music. It didn’t fit the vibe of the location inside nor out. But it was soft enough that we could talk over it. Will definitely come back again with friends.

    Had higher expectations after reading other reviews, but came here on our anniversary, very disappointing. The waiter was ok, brought the drink menus and asked if we wanted bread, mentioning there was a $5 charge. Bread was good but certainly nothing special. It was our anniversary tho, so throwing caution to the wind, we said sure. So they bring the fancy swirl butter with it, and it was so saturated with garlic, we couldn't eat it. When we mentioned to the waiter and asked for regular butter, he said, no one's ever said that before, but yes he would get us some. Next, the glasses of wine came and they do give a nice full pour, will give them credit for that. After that, we had 2 appetizers, scallops and grilled cauliflower, both were good. Then things got a little off. My wife and I both ordered the fresh catch special, blackened halibut ($40), side dishes are extra. My wife asked if they could grill it instead of getting it blackened. The waiter said he doesn't think they do that on the specials. My wife said, can you check? He agreed and checked and then said , yes, they can do that. Then, when we got our dinners, both of them were way overcooked, ruining the dish. They were very tough and dry. Also, we ordered 2 sides, mashed potatoes and broccolini. The mashed potatoes had so much salt in them, we couldn't even eat them, and I love salt on my potatoes, I usually even add some. But this was ridiculous, maybe the lid fell off the salt shaker in the kitchen? And the broccolini had a mustard sauce all over it that was so tart, it was hard to eat. This place has potential I guess, but whoever is cooking seems to go overboard on everything, i.e. food was overcooked, too much garlic, too much salt, too much mustard sauce. We can cut some slack if an item or 2 are off, but too many things were just not good. And there are lots of other better options around, especially at this price point.

    So glad we decided to stay close to our hotel and give this restaurant try! The food was absolutely delicious and came out extremely quick and hot! For starters we dined on the Diver Scallops and Stuffed Squash Blossoms both were great. For entrees we decided on the Salmon and New York Strip. Both were delicious but the steak definitely stole the show super juicy and tender with every bite definitely recommend! Great service, ambience was amazing!

We both had the chicken and I can’t say enough good things about it. Let’s just call it amazing, beautiful, generous, tasty… We actually couldn’t stop talking about it. Kudos to the chef! Please don’t ever leave 20/Twenty- or leave us a message as to where you are going!! 😊
