Fodor's Expert Review 333 Pacific

Directly across from Oceanside Pier, Oceanside’s most upscale restaurant specializes in seafood dishes and upscale comfort food in an elegant, art-deco setting; it’s worth visiting for the ocean views and appetizers and sides like charred Brussels sprouts and lamb lollipops. If you're thirsty, start with a drink from the menu of more than 120 vodkas that make up exotic cocktails like the Spicy Pineapple, Pear Blossom, and Cali Mango. Sweet tooths should save room for the New York cheesecake with bourbon cherry glaze.

It's best to make a reservation since this place can get busy, especially during weekly promotions and happy hour.
