Alias is a terrific local spot for almost any affair. Their menu is diverse, and the dishes are consistent, well prepared and delicious. The restaurant is a great choice for a catered affair, brunch, or just a quick lunch or casual dinner, and the staff is an absolute delight! Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Also, if you have specific dietary needs/requests (like me), the servers and kitchen staff are glad to help out to ensure that your visit is safe and enjoyable.

One of the highlights of Alias is its beautiful bar; you can always count on tasty drink specials, especially during the winter holidays. Also, the spicy margaritas in the spring/summer should not be missed. We frequent Alias on Thursday nights and are typically under the care of matriarch bartender, Carol, who is not only a skilled mixologist, but a friendly, caring, fun and outgoing personality, who makes every visit personable and fun. She brings such a great energy to our Thursday nights.

Special mentions go to Lisa, Veronica, Chris, Rose and Danny -- they're such integral fibers in the tapestry of Alias.

If you're local to Oceanside, or even if you're not, and unsure where to grab your next meal, definitely consider giving Alias a try. You will not be disappointed!
