The Roxy Encinitas - Encinitas, California

This place was awesome. The food is great. If you like Jazz and Blues music genres, this is a soothing place to dine and enjoy yourself. We celebrated a birthday on a Sunday with 16 people, and the staff was flexible to get our party in and out with great service. The owner was friendly and engaged in conversation with our party. The band sang happy birthday to our special birthday lady.

The parking is mostly in the back of the building due to the bustling activities and shops in the area. We will attend again.

Lively and upscale bar atmosphere. There was a terrific band at noon on Sunday that was playing super chill music.
We got the Cobb salad and a few mocktails. The salad was delicious.

Last night, my friends and I went to Roxy for dinner to celebrate a birthday, and unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with our server, Andrew OG. He took a long time to take our order, and throughout the evening, we could hardly find him when we needed to ask for anything. When he finally did come over, he seemed to have an attitude and acted like he didn’t want to be there. He was short with his words and didn’t respond when one of our friends asked about the cost of a bottle.

I’ve dined at Roxy many times and have always had good service, so this was surprising. I understand that gratuity is automatically added for large parties, but it felt like the server didn’t put any effort into earning his tip. It seemed like he knew he was getting a good tip regardless and didn’t care to provide great service.

We were told that the bill would be split four ways, but when it came time to pay, we were given one single bill. Andrew was nowhere to be found when we tried to ask about it. We didn’t mind the gratuity; we just wanted the bill split as promised. The birthday girl had to speak to the manager to finally get the issue resolved. The server returned with the split checks but didn’t offer any apology for the confusion or the poor service.

We spent over $700 and were really disappointed with the experience. It was not what we expected, especially for a special occasion.

Ashley went out of her way to accommodate our table on a crowded night. She really gave extra effort rarely seen in customer service. Andrew our server also was super welcoming and recommended a great wine. Customer service and atmosphere was the Best!

I’ve been coming to Roxy since the early 80’s when I was a kid so I have a long standing love for this place, but it needs to be known their falafel 🧆 is HANDS DOWN the best you will have. Nowhere can top it. Went with my bestie for brunch/lunch and we shared the falafel as an app. She got the charred Caesar salad and I got the avocado toast. Charred Caesar is excellent, the flavor of the little bit of char with their homemade dressing is soooo good! Avocado toast is fun with the addition of burrata giving it a bit of extra creaminess combined with the egg. We had a glass of their pino noir, also good. I enjoy the lively atmosphere and live music but there is an outside patio if you want it a bit quieter. Definitely recommend and of course, will be back!

Great little restaurant in Encinitas! First and foremost, find street parking because that is definitely hard. We had reservations but I don't think you really need one, especially on a weekday. We sat on the patio because the music was too loud. If I had come here by myself, I would've LOVED the music but I was meeting a friend and wanted to talk. There was also a football game on, which made things louder.

We ordered the blistered shishito peppers, the salmon and the penne pasta with shrimp. They had happy hour until 11 pm or something, which was awesome! I got their Chardonnay and my friend got one of their IPAs.

The shishito peppers were excellent! Blistered as they should be, with delicious barbecue sauce and lime to go with. One pepper was fairly spicy, the rest were not. Amongst the salmon and the pasta, the pasta definitely won hands down. The salmon was cooked appropriately, but I think I would've liked it better with risotto or something similar, rather than just veggies. The pasta, on the other hand, was creamy, melt-y, with veggies and herbs and the shrimp was cooked very well! Even two days later, the leftovers tasted delicious. The Chardonnay was from Sonoma and I liked it.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed coming here! I shall be back (but maybe when there isn't a football game on!).

LIVE MUSIC EVERY DAY/NIGHT
Good food, but a bit overpriced (hence 4 stars) even though you're paying for dinner and a free show I guess it balances out. Outdoor seating with heaters close enough to hear and see the live band.
Mixed ages depending on the night/artist; if it matters call ahead✨
Bomb brussels w/bacon 🤤 + decent burger + a ginger beer(not fountain soda) + tip= $45-$50 ish.
Not the bitiest ginger beer, so my drink was meh, but everything else was good, not amazing😀

Garlic fries, can't F that up..
Mac'n cheese is delicious, not amazing..
Cocktails aren't strong, but also delicious

Such a great restaurant! The risotto, brussels sprouts, falafel ball, kale salad, salmon, and margaritas were phenomenal! Gluten free and vegetarian, friendly! Love the ambience of the outdoor seating area.
