The view is amazing here, it's right on the beach! We went at lunchtime on a Monday, it was busy, but not overly so. We parked in the beach parking and walked over, but they do have valet. The service was great in terms of the waiter, but the hostess was a bit dismissive when we requested to sit outside, saying there were no spots, when she clearly did not check, and there were indeed open tables, but she did end up sitting us outside. The food was good, but I was not overly impressed. I had the cobb salad, it was small and lacked presentation-the shrimp were good on it, but truly nothing special. The sushi was below average in my opinion, especially if you know your sushi, and it was $25 a roll. I think the menu was overpriced, you are definitely paying for the view here. I would not likely return.

The food is very good! Seafood pasta delicious as was the Seabass! Calamari good also! Very busy and made a reservation for our 45th Anniversary and really wanted to sit outside but they weren’t able to make it happen which was disappointing! Our waitress was wonderful and very helpful about dishes that weren’t favorites! We also asked about the 4% service charge added to our bill and she said it goes to the owners which seems unnecessary! She removed from our bill and we gave it back to her in a generous tip!

This was my third dining experience at CCG. It has been a seamless dining event each time. We’ve been outdoors in the patio twice and upstairs beside a water view window once. I’ve had lunch salads and and their short ribs. I was a guest the first time and chose the venue as host to friends and family. The food preparation, unique sauces and spectacular presentation all make this coastal eatery a favorite for me.

Wonderful view from the outdoor deck but eating outside is uncomfortable due to the many flies intent on sharing your meal. Good cocktails. Calamari was disappointing; it was cut into long tubes instead of rings and the cornmeal didn't stick after cooking. The sauce was very spicy even for those that liked spicy food. Lovely salad, but the main course paella was very disappointing. The rice base was not properly cooked. The seafood was fine, but the dish is in need of tweaking. No plans to go back.

We were seated outside by a window overlooking the ocean and got to see a beautiful sunset. It was a bit warm that day, before the sunset, but worth it! I had the scallops and my husband had the lobster tail. While the portion size of the scallops was a bit small, they were very tasty and would order them again. He enjoyed his meal, and I had a bite of his truffle chive cake which was delicious. For dessert, we had the Tahitian Coconut Cheesecake and the Dark Chocolate Lava Custard. Both were good, but the chocolate one was so decadent, scrumptious, and a large portion that two could easily share! Our server, Jenna(?), was so helpful in making our choices and provided excellent service! Very enjoyable experience!

We were seated outside. Our table was rocking and there were quite a few flies hovering our food throughout our entire dinner. Food was good but we have had better experiences previously. It is a great date spot but definitely hope the food gets back to what it use to be.

The view was amazing. We sat out on the patio right next to the beach. The food was very good. We started with the lobster and shrimp chowder. Just so you know there was not much of each in the chowder but it was very tasty. She had the Chilean Sea Bass and I had the Alaskan Halibut with shrimp scampi and risotto. Both dinners were awesome. We will definitely be making this a regular dining experience. By the way the service was great also.

We had a great evening with friends. Excellent service and food, nice ambiance. Beautiful sunset. We moved from Carlsbad a couple years ago and it was good to get back to the PCG again. We have always enjoyed the food service and ambiance and things have not changed. We are happy to recommend the pCG to anyone for excellent coastal dining

Mahi was very fresh. Sauce was excellent. Bread was fresh and delicious. Got seated right away. View from our table was gorgeous. Beautiful sunset really capped off the dinner.
