We had been here once before a year before. We do not live close to Oceanside. Loved our first experience and wanted a repeat this trip. They were busy as ever on a Thursday night. However, our new experience was worth it. Our waitress was great, friendly, smiling, efficient and engaging. We ate inside this trip (first available). Last we had been at an outside table. We had two in our party six years and younger. No problem getting a highchair for the youngest. We liked the hustle and bustle of the crowded restaurant. Yet had no issue having our own family discussions. Their menu is tremendous with many terribly interesting takes on common dishes, as well as many unique takes. I could probably eat her fourteen days in a row and never have the same dish twice. They had that many intriguing choices. This evening the adults tried their Jalapeno & Roasted Cauliflower Mac & Cheese - smoked gouda, white cheddar parmesan, garlic herbed pank (quite good - my other half thought this spicy, in my case I would have gone for more heat - so a good compromise); Seafood Stew -
scallops, salmon, local clams, shrimp, fingerling potatoes, artichoke, bacon, cream, white wine & garlic (I did not try this one but it was reported delicious - outstanding amount of fresh seafood); Wild Caught Scallops - coconut curry udon noodles, toasted coconut, broccolini, sugar snaps, Thai basil & lime (I also failed to try this one but it also looked and was reported great); Halibut special. I had the last but failed to write down the creative ingredients that went into it. I will say that this was a nice portion of excellently prepared fish. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So, visit two to LTH 101 was stellar. The location, the decor / ambiance, the staff and the food all great. We definitely will return.
