Pacific Point

Amazing service and amazing food in a perfect setting. Not only is the resort top notch but the food options are up there as well. One place in particular is Pacific Point which offers high top seating, bar seating, and a very comfortable outdoor space as well. My wife and I had an early dinner one evening in the bar area and our food was great. Also, the service was excellent as well. Our server was accommodating, answered any and all questions, and checked on us frequently. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for an amazing meal and service.

Beautiful deck with courtyard view and sunsets are perfect. There are 3 tables with fire pits as well. We enjoyed hot tea and the chocolate experience. Amanda is a great server and very personable. Thoroughly enjoyed!

A beautiful bar area located inside the Park Hyatt Aviara. We stopped by here on two occasions during our stay, once for Japanese take-out, which was awesome, and once for an after-dinner coffee, tea, and a date at the Top Golf simulator. You have to check in at Pacific Point for the Top Golf experience fyi. In any event, this is a great, sophisticated spot to grab a drink or dinner at the bar. Pacific Point even had live music playing on a Tuesday night, which was very cool!

One of my favorite bars at my favorite hotel. Pacific Point is located in the lobby of the Park Hyatt Aviara resort. The bar has really great mixologists in Moises, Jared and Luis. The drinks are innovative and tasty. Give them your base alcohol and let them run with it. You won't be disappointed. And the bar bites are equally fantastic. From 5-9pm they have sushi options from their in house sushi chef. The burger is massive and the Chipperbec fries are great.

Meal for 1 of us came out but not for the other. For a place so nice I would expect better. We were given the reason that the item come from a different kitchen and was very popular tonight. Apology was given and item was removed from bill but this was our date night and I didn't get to eat with my partner.

Lobster rolls taste great order with no mayo and extra butter on the side. Yellow tail sashimi with jalapeno in Yuzu soy is a must.

Fantastic spot for happy hour and food. The sushi is great and the specialty rolls are not to be missed! One roll is enough to fill you up if you're not ravenous, they're huge! The service and outdoor seating was fantastic and their drinks were very good too. Skip the "Peachy Keen" and give the Matcha cocktail or the "Bare Minimum" a try, both are lovely.

Beautiful property with a beautiful setting for Pacific Point. Food and drinks where fine, the lobster roll was decent but a lot more bread than lobster meat. The wood fired bread was interesting and the complimentary olives and almonds where nice. I wanted to try the evening sushi here but didn't have time, perhaps next time.

Soo good and pretty here! Love their outdoor setting! I was a big fan of their sushi!! Pricey but worth it! They had a lot of yummy items on their menu. I definitely recommend this place to anyone! You won't be disappointed!!!

one of the few MAJOR drags about living in North County is a rather sparse selection of certain ethnic foods - primarily Indian, Thai, and sushi. So it was a great moment in time when a friend stated she had just had sushi at Pacific Point, and it was fab. Now, a lobby bar in a Hyatt is not generally known for great sushi, so we were skeptical - but my wife asked me to give it a shot for her birthday. We arrived, and I quickly remembered a huge downside of the Park Hyatt - valet only (on the bright side, we took the ragingly cool car, and they immediately parked it front and center - so there's that). We headed to the bar, and my skepticism only increased - as it looked EXACTLY like a typical Hyatt bar. And the menu kind of re-enforced that, with loads of bar food you'd find at every hotel bar. BUT...flipping the menu over, and sure enough, all kinds of sushi options were listed. My wife ordered sashimi and a Sunset Roll, while I ordered several different kinds of nigiri. Our sushi arrived....and da. amn. It was indeed FAB! Very authentic, very definitely perfectly prepped (other than a lack of wasabi in the nigiri, but that was easily fixed with the wasibi delivered as a side). And the pièce de résistance? The birthday cake (pictured). Truly a work of art. While I don't do sugar, my wife assured me it was fantastic! We both loved it...and we'll definitely be back. The ONLY two negatives, frankly, were that it's a Hyatt restaurant with Hyatt pricing (while we get a small discount for being locals, it's still WAY over the top pricing), and the lack of parking. That said, for great sushi, definitely worth it.

Lobby bar and terrace inside Park Hyatt, which caters to many conference groups, events, and weddings. I met my out of town friends here for. Platinum Summit for dermatologists and skincare sponsors. The expense accounts were in full effect, and my personal, not affiliated with a business, tab was along for the ride. The margarita was paltry and lacked any semblance of tequila. Salty lime water. Consolation was the green olives and seasoned almonds that came with. The fried cod and slaw were decent, but I couldn't finish either of them. It was nice viewing the rehearsal lunch going on the terrace and veranda. After the summit was done, I met up with my longtime friend...she loved the lavender cocktail that she ordered 2 (on the biz tab). I tried the yuzu jalapeño cocktail to make up for the sad margarita. The jalapeño popsicle was an aesthetic plus. Her 1/2 tuna 1/2 veggie roll was presented nicely, although a bit doused in sauce. Overall, these two visits to this place will last me for a year or more. The service was brisk and polite, but they were focused on handling the volume of conference spill outs and table turnover.

Located in the Park Hyatt Aviara with patio seating as well as a full bar. They had a robust menu, but we mostly stuck with their sushi and rolls section because a friend recommended their rolls. At first glance everything looked super pricey (which is to be expected at an on-site hotel restaurant), but we were pleasantly surprised when our food came out because the portions were generous and everything was fresh and delicious. Service was also super attentive and friendly! You can also order from Pacific Point while you're hanging out at Top Golf since it's right next to it. Very convenient to have yummy food while you're playing golf and hanging out.

Twice I went here and had wildly different experiences. The first time I went was a weekday night. There was a wedding nearby, the weather was great, the night was young. We managed to grab a table outside and sat and chatted. It was incredibly busy and they seemed remarkably understaffed. Our waiter was great, but he seemed exhausted running on fumes. The sushi bar was backed up with a wait time of over an hour. Our food was meh, but the cocktails were tasty. The second time we came here was for lunch. The weather was warm but there wasn't many people out there. I ordered a delicious burger and was much impressed with how tasty it was. The cocktails were still on point, but the service was more personal. We had a few employees stop by and casually talk with us making us feel very welcome here. So, not sure I'd recommend them for dinner because I suspect they're frequently busy but lunch was worth it.

Came for an early dinner with my sister who was staying at the hotel. The cocktails are hand crafted and elevated. I really enjoyed the Pisco Grove. In terms of food, we don't recommend the lobster roll. The Banh Mi dip tasted like a French dip meets pho but the meat was a little dry. The sushi was excellent. We enjoyed all the rolls. The goat cheese cake had a truffle inside each of which I found superfluous otherwise it would've been a great dessert. Service was great, very attentive. Overall we enjoyed our visit. Recommend the sushi and cocktails.

My daughter and I came for their holiday high tea on Sunday 12/3/23. The entire experience was just wonderful. We were greeted and seated right away, our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the teas with the exception of the pronunciation of the Nuit D'eté variety of tea. She kept calling it "noo-it day tay" which made me chuckle as it's a French phrase meaning "Summer Night" and it pronounced "nu ee de tay" but I doubt she speaks French so I can overlook it. The teas were wonderful, the selection of finger sandwiches, desserts, petit fours, and the scones were all excellent. However for $75 per person I expected a little more "more". My biggest complaint was that there is a 22% service charge tacked onto the bill automatically. As a member of the service industry I always tip very well, so this sort of thing annoys me. I do understand however that most people don't tip as well, so I just smiled and paid the bill+service charge. Over all; it was a decent experience. We needed to stop at In-N-out on the way home, because as fancy as it was we're were left hungry....So for my $200 worth of coin, it may not be worth your time.

Exactly what one would come to expect from a Park Hyatt. Exceptional food and service, Pierre, our server, was attentive, helpful, and courteous. We had a baby with us and he couldn't have been nicer about the high chair and being patient and such. The food was good - some nice surprises like the glazed almonds and the pickled lotus root! High quality fish for the fish and chips and the drinks were BOMB. And of course, a great view of the courtyard and heat lamps for the chilly winter afternoon. Spent $200 here easy with drinks and a few snacks but was worth every penny and was a memorable snack and experience.

We tried the holiday high tea and it was not worth the price. We were a bit hesitant to book here because it was so available and the reviews weren't great, but we were on a budget for a holiday team lunch and everywhere else was booked up already. That should've been a sign. The service was fine, the view was nice, but the food and tea selection & quality was sub par. Bread & scones were a bit stale and they type of sandwiches were... creative? But missed the mark. One of us had a dairy allergy so the alternative selection that came seemed to be the gluten, dairy, all-of-the-above allergy plate, so it consisted of no sandwiches, and just a few cherry tomatoes halves/slivers stacked on top of each other, a mini bell pepper half, a small endive leaf, a mini pear cut out (about 2" in diameter), and a strawberry with a hole cut in the middle with slivered up dried apricots shoved in it. Also only came with 2 mini desserts when the regular high tea came with 5. Add a small pot of tea (fills approx 1.5 cups) and a glass of bubbly and you can have this tea service for $85 + tax + 22% gratuity! Needless to say, we left still hungry (and disappointed) and had to pick up a sandwich on our way home...

We came down to Pacific Point for a laid back dinner as the last meal of our trip. Though the evening was a little chilly, this was completely taken care of by the strong heat lamps covering all the outdoor seating. The views certainly didn't hurt either. For food, we went with local fish & house chips, woodfired Caledonia shrimp, and mochiko chicken bao buns. Despite the smallish portions, everything was beautifully presented and finely executed. For instance, the local fish had a surprising amount of flavor on its own and the spam musubi in the shrimp dish were shockingly tasty. To finish, the malasadas were crispy and airy, not far off at all from places like Leonard's back in Oahu. I paired our food with an off menu Mai Tai and Painkiller, both well made. Lastly, our server, Jacob, did a great job taking care of us throughout our meal.

Had a chance to stop by for a drink before heading to our spa time and enjoyed our drinks very much. Beautiful view and delicious goodies. Service is awesome and our server was perfect! The only downside of this place was the menu. We heard other guests say the same thing "there aren't much to order". Limited appetizers and barely hand full of entrees that's it!?? It's a beautiful place don't get me wrong but this place definitely needs a huge upgrade on their menu. We could've ordered more but didn't happen :(

The staff makes this bar!! Everyone was friendly, professional and efficient. They remembered us but more importantly our drink orders!! We enjoyed a few appetizers, shrimp, tuna roll and charcuterie. The shrimp had amazing flavor!! The spicy tuna was fresh and the charcuterie lovely. My only tweak to the charcuterie would be to add additional salamis, ditch the chorizo and maybe even the pate, prosciutto was the star. The cheese options, fresh fruit and local honey were great. We will absolutely be back next time we have a staycation!! Thank you for the great service!!

The food is expensive for the quality but the game room is fun and worth a try. The service is exceptional and I made a mistake in booking the room but they worked it out for us. If you're booking the room online make sure to call to modify the booking from 1 hour (default) if you wanted more time.

This is your hidden gem in North County, San Diego. We asked Ashley to mix us cocktails and she did not disappoint! She made excellent suggestions and followed up with stellar concoctions. The food was great including a nice sushi menu. The bar is nicely designed and well lit for any occasion. I'll be back again soon.

We love Andrew! He's so awesome and made our whole stay! Ashley also makes a mean Bittersweet Gin. This drink is my new favorite! So happy with this bar! We are globalists and have been all over the world. Service and cocktails have been amazing. Highly recommend

OK. I live right up the street. Lived in SD County since 1977. LOADS of choices, food, drink, etc. I'm an old, fussy lawyer/psychologist who cooked in kitchens as a young man, and yes, I know my..whatever. This is a JUST RIGHT place to drink and eat. SoCal cool, casual or fancy as you like. No rules. Food quality is exceptional, but truth be told, my wife and I come here for.... ASHLEY. It's true. We followed her from her former locale. Here's this phenomenal young mixologist who makes concoctions custom..."I'm thinking I want something with cold fresh berries and mezcal...medium dry, smoky finish...like that." BANG! There it is. Ashley: "Oh, I knew you don't like scotch or bourbon..your wife does, but I added a splash of Cointreau for a citrus finish." Um-hm. Because we sort of really kind of adore her I wouldn't do that when she's slammed with orders. But really. She invents, and doesn't miss. I simply can't exaggerate how great she is. She is SO personable, genuine, and welcoming. This is making me thirsty..hungry as well. Gotta go..

As a Hyatt Globalist, I have seen my fair share of great Hyatt properties, but this one is right up there with the best in every way. The complete remodel of the rooms and public areas of the resort is stunning, and Pacific Point is a great addition to the property. We have spent a number of nights at this Park Hyatt lobby bar area enjoying really good sushi, fun drinks and outstanding service. Ashley has been our bartender there several times and she is always ready with a smile and a perfect martini. We will be back!

Such a disappointment. They only got 3 stars because there are great views and they had live music. The poke bowl was ok. The fish was very fresh, but there was hardly any sauce and the Asian slaw was just weird. A friend got the fish and chips. I am speechless on that one. It was a sorry very disappointing execution. There were only three small strips with a sorry display of breading. If not for the $24 price point, I would have thought they were straight out of the freezer section at Vons. I did order a $18 Old Fashioned. A little on the sweeter side, but was good and appreciated that it was not served with standard bar ice. It came with a proper clear cube. Bottom line, if you want to have a drink and enjoy some live music (make sure it is on), I would go, sit and have some drinks. But skip the food. It is just silly expensive and not that great.

Arrive to wonderful valet parking. Breathtaking ocean views, friendly but somewhat forgetful service, diverse menu, lovely outdoor dining for couples or groups...spacious grounds for after meal promenades. And relatively comfortable seating, tables or sofas with fire pits with additional stand up heating. Grey interior felt cold & impersonal. Italian architecture is lovely.

Disappointing. Service has been bad last couple times. I always have such high hopes for price and name but I would choose to go elsewhere. Main benefits are large grass area which is fun for kids and live music. Good is decent. I feel like servers have forgotten about us and tried to upsell us for no reason. It service improved I would return.

We had an awesome afternoon at the new Pacific Point at Park Hyatt Aviara! The updates throughout the hotel and the former Lobby Bar are top notch! Willy made our afternoon so much fun. We ordered the meat plate and cheese plate and we paired them with some delightful Pinot Grigio and just took in the views. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Willy, so much!!! (There is live music on Tues, Fri & Sat from 5-8pm)

I was obsessed with the room and spa! The pool and jacuzzis were clean. Customer service was amazing, I'm definitely staying here again.

Thank you for the wonderful service and atmosphere! Thank you for being so family friendly. Thank you to Terrence for making our visit memorable and fun with excellent service! The food and drinks are also delicious!

Amazing dining experience in the renovation of the lobby restaurant of the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort and Spa. The menu is over the top and the service is second to none. Far batter than the Ritz Carlton Laguna and the St. Regis Laguna. If Governor Newsom ever relents and allows restaurants to offer indoor and outdoor dining, this is the epitome of fine dining with an incredible view of Ponto Beach and Batiquitos Lagoon!

Let's start with the positive. I like the fact that they have several fire pits that create a relaxing environment. In addition they have great live music that we were able to enjoy as we listened from our room. Now for the negative... The service was definitely lacking. After listened to the great live music that ended at 8pm, my wife and I decided to go down to the lounge. We grabbed a seat by a fire pit and waited. After about 15 min. of not even getting a 'hello' I walked up to the bar and asked for a menu myself. I made a point to walk right by the one server that was covering our side of the lounge. It took about another 5 min. for the server to finally make his way over. We ordered two drinks and a dessert. The dessert came out first but no drinks. We slowly started eating the dessert with the hope that the drinks would be out shortly. We had about one bite left by the time the drinks arrived. I made a comment that it would have been nice to have the drinks with the dessert and the server apologized and said that they had to go searching for some grenadine. I would love to provide some more constructive feedback, however this is already getting to long. We are here for 3 nights. If we do end up going back we will make sure to go right to the bar to place our drink order and then head out and find a place to sit.
