Orfila Vineyards Tasting Room & Kitchen

In summary, the food and wine is very good.
Much of the estate wine is premium, but they offer nice other selections like the Stem Head Pinot and the Lagrein.

We ordered most of their menu and it was excellent.
The flat breads were very well balanced. The sliders decadent but fun and delicious. The Brussels and Octopus are great lighter dishes. Their array of wines don't all pair well with the entire menu ofcourse, it would have been nice if the staff elaborated some of the better pairings.

All of the food was very very good. The two quips after trying about 70% of the entire menu is that the lamb was a little under seasoned along with the polenta it's nestled on. A little salt would have really made that dish a lot better.

The Mediterranean plate was my favorite.

I tried every single red wine they offer + the rose. The Pinots are the safe choices, but the tempernillo and the lagrein are the more rewarding choices.

All in all a great place. The staff could use a little training around serving wine as it's a tasting room but a wonderful upscale casual stop nevertheless.

While on vacation with family, we decided to visit Oceanside. To be honest, I’ll only go back strictly for this restaurant. Over waiter and food were awesome. Our waiter was able to answer all of our questions. He definitely was not lying when he said all the food was amazing. From our different meals, not one was lacking anything. Extremely flavorful, food came out quickly, plentiful, and customer service was superb. Next time I’m in San Diego, I will definitely be coming back.

I am so happy that they opened this location. The place is fantastic and they added to their menu. Just had some Aps. Hummus and fried artichokes. So delicious. I could eat those artichokes all day long!! Their Escondido location is beautiful. It is a must do if you are ever in Escondido.

Incredible! Hands down the best Spanish octopus dish (starter) my boyfriend and I have ever tried and I've been in the restaurant industry for 21 years! Tried the flight of 4 different wines of our choice and that paired nicely with the prosciutto and burrata starter dish as well as the mussels in the white sauce! YUM!!
The chef even came out to see how everything was going. Cheers and thanks again Orfila for a wonderful experience!

Nice little wine bar deep in the heart of Downtown Oceanside. Indoor and outdoor seating, though the patio is much larger and more popular. Glasses of vino are around $12+. They have a large menu of food. We only tried the fried artichoke, which was very tasty but perhaps a little "too" fried. It was very crispy. Very pleasant staff.
