About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
Masters Kitchen and Cocktail is located blocks from the beach in the heart of Oceanside, CA. An industrial space with classic history, Masters was once a well ­remembered drag car shop. The revamped restaurant keeps its authentic character, and offers a warm and inviting dining experience for a lovely escape from the sun and sand. A separate bar with communal seating serves traditional craft cocktails that sip and smell of the 1920s.

    See my review from June 14. Went back because liked it so much. This time had crab stuffed shrimp with mushroom risotto- excellent. My friend had lobster tail - again excellent. Only issue remain poor wine list and loud noises from loud motorcycles and cars - restuarant is open air which adds to ambiance but suffers from road noise.

    Have not been to this restaurant in years and wanted to give it a try. The brunch was very good, only downside was how long it took to get our meal and it was not busy. Would come back again

    Interesting and innovative menu. I ordered mussels in spicy tomato sauce with chorizo - it was outstanding. Mussels were perfectly prepared - not rubbery. Flavors vey well balanced. My friend had linguine with shrimp in tomato cream sauce - he loved it. Lava cake for dessert was also outstanding. My one recommendation would be to improve wine list. It has off the beaten path wines. Taste before you order- they let you do that. Prices are incredibly reasonable to make up for unfamiliarity of producers. Looking forward to going back.

    Have been here several times, but finally doing a review. Love this place! Booth, bar, and front patio seating depending on your preference/weather. Both the food and the cocktail menus are high points. "Hello Sunshine" is my go-to cocktail - vodka with elderflower, passionfruit, and basil. Sounds overpowering, but it's a subtle mix. For dinner, we often start with the dry-rubbed wings - a mix of old bay, salt and pepper - so simple, but again, so perfect! Burrata salad is another favorite - we order this one over and over. Service is not just outstanding, there's a tell. The same servers have been there since we moved here last year - which is code for "my management treats me well and I like it here". Love finding a place with a happy professional staff. The owner is often on the floor checking up on things and chatting up customers - again, talk about positive signs! Highly recommended for anything from date night to a party.

    It is a hidden gem in downtown O-Side. My regular joint is local tap house. But this place is very nice! The owners came out and asked us how our meal was and actually cared about how we felt about the place. Will go again.

    Service was above and beyond. The food was yummy, and everyone was super attentive. We don’t live here, but if we did we’d be back! Had a great time and very friendly even with young kids.
