7MILE Kitchen: Upscale Dining Experience in Carlsbad, CA

Our first night coming in, we ordered our food to go and it took over an hour to get some cold food. Granted, the food still tasted great, we were just a bit agitated as we had just arrived and it took an absurd amount of time. Since then, the service has made up for the initial negative experience. Henry and Jazzlyn have taken amazing care of us during our stay. Very friendly, kind, timely, and guided us in the right direction for everything from food to our overall stay. The atmosphere here is nice as well, very clean, but as I said, those two and especially Henry make it worth your while. He even sent us and our friends off with some snacks, fruit, and protein bars to our room before our early morning flight out. Thank you!!

I recently hosted a large dinner party at 7 Mile Kitchen, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Hany was our server, and he took care of our entire group with such ease, kindness, patience, and professionalism. All of our guests raved about both the food and the exceptional service. Thank you, Hany, for going above and beyond to make our evening so enjoyable!

Had lunch with friends at 7 Mile Kitchen and our waiter Henry, deserves his own Netflix special—funny, fast, and totally on point. He read the table like a seasoned psychic and had us laughing between every bite. Food was great, but he was the real dish of the night. Bravo, sir—we’ll be back for the fries and the comedy.

Really nice upscale restaurant located in the Sheraton Hotel. We ordered Fish and Chips, BLAT and a Margarita Pizza. Fish and Chips came with 2 very large pieces of perfectly cooked pieces of Cod that just melted in your mouth. BLAT was so delicious with ripe pieces of Avocado, Bacon that had a nice smoky flavor and was very crunchy, Margarita Pizza was the only disappointing part of the meal, it looked and tasted like an ordinary Cheese Pizza.

Service was a little slow, but realized one young man was taking care of the whole patio by himself. The kitchen brought out the wrong food (we ordered the whipped feta and loaded brisket fries). They brought out steak frites (really good but fries cold). The whipped feta was good and refreshing. The loaded brisket fries were initially good but seemed to have fake/canned cheese. The brisket was tender and flavorful, however. Nice atmosphere on the patio.

The food is actually really good. Especially the breakfast. The service is lacking majorly though. The hosts and server must not communicate with each other, because multiple tables get sat and they dont take care of them in order. We waited 15 minutes after the table next to us got sat after us and they never came over. We had to ask for our server multiple times before they came over. Places like this are always busy for the 4th of july, yet they dont seem to ever be prepared for the spike in business. Same with 20 Twenty next door. On holidays they dont staff enough people and they are always scrambling to try and figure it out. We've been coming here for years, but we're not coming back again. The service is slow and lackadaisical. If a restaurant and hotel aren't in sync and on the top of their game for the busiest day of the year, I can only imagine how bad it must be when it's slower.

Had breakfast for a few days here and I like it. I tried their few menus and my favorite is the chocolate chip and buttermilk pancakes. It’s so fluffy and buttery. All the ingredients are fast and taste good. I would say the 7 mile breakfast has a great price for the big portion. Henry is the great server. He’s nice, funny, and very tentative. The service is great and quick. The restaurant is clean and quiet. They have indoor and outdoor dining areas. Love the elegant fireplace.
