Enjoyed some creamy clam chowder and fish and chips during my visit. I stood in line for about 30 minutes before I finally made it to the register to order. The food only took about 15 minutes to be served. It was a busy Sunday morning here, but I suspect that it's probably just as busy all day during the weekends. The food was good and I enjoyed sitting at the tables outside the restaurant area.

Cute little brunch place in Oceanside at the Harbor. You grab a table, order your food and it gets brought to you. Parking may be an issue depending on when you get there. We got here on a cloudy day and early (10:30 am) for brunch so we were able to park in the parking lots 1-2 mins away. The location is great but the salty smell of the marina can get overwhelming at times. Food wise, we ordered the house Benedict and the shrimp omelette special along with two chai tea lattes. The food was brought out very quickly. Nobody bothered us after that, which I always appreciate. The benedicts were pretty good. The omelette could've had a little more salt. The potatoes were delicious. The chai tea latte was also very nice. All in all, a nice brunch place with nice people and good food. Very casual so I would recommend it if you want a chill Sun morning.

Food was decent, somewhere like 3.5-4. i rounded up on this one since the atmosphere was really nice. Eggs Benedict was good, breakfast sandwich was mediocre. The omelettes were great. I skipped the coffee so I can't attest there but I was assured it was unremarkable diner quality which is great and I love that for them. The bloody marys were good, nice tastes, but a light pour. I'd rather they up the price to $10 and pour a proper drink.

I love sit down restaurants that let you pay first at the counter when you order. We didn't know how soon we'd have to leave so it was convenient. Food was super fast, and it wasn't crowded which is nice. Also the Benedict was amazing.

We had a great brunch at the Stratford. They accidentally made my friend the wrong order. We kindly asked about it and they totally fixed it and were so kind about it. They brought out a new order and even refunded us! We weren’t even expecting a refund but they insisted. It spoke volumes to us! The food itself was so good. We had the Berry Crunch French toast and classic eggs Benedict, my daughter had a Mickey pancake. Everything was delicious!!!!

I like to seek out unique places to dine when I travel. On a recent trip to the lovely city of Oceanside, California, I was looking for a place to get a good breakfast. Doing a search for a dining establishment with high ratings, I was convinced to visit Stratford at the Harbor. As you would guess from the name, this eatery is located on the harbor, so you have an open view of the water and of boats docked in the harbor. The inside of the restaurant is small, but there is outdoor seating also, which is perfect for soaking up the views and sunshine. The inside is comfortable, too, and I really like the wicker seats. At Stratford at the Harbor, you order at the counter, then wait for your food to be delivered to your table. They serve omelets, pancakes, eggs and scrambles, bagels, fruit bowls, and similar items for breakfast. Arrive during lunch and you will be treated to fresh fish, sandwiches, soup, burgers, and the like. I was here for breakfast and my teenager and I were served two scrumptious meals, every bit as good as others have claimed. I was tempted to get a second helping, but decided it was best to save my appetite for the next dining excursion. Beverages served here consist of the usual fruit juices, coffee, tea, milk, soft drinks, etc. They also serve selected mixed drinks and beer, which is a huge plus in my book! My meal would have been excellent regardless, but with a delicious craft beer by its side, the food was that much better. Stratford at the Harbor serves breakfast and lunch only. There is no dinner. They close at 2pm each day, so you need to get her early. And you will be glad you did, because Stratford by the Harbor serves delicious food and drinks with a harbor view, earning it a high recommendation from me.

When we arrived we waited 15 minutes in line to order at the counter. The menus available at the door were filthy, covered in grime and stuck together. The girl working the counter was a little rude. Made us wait to order while she was talking to another customer who abruptly walked up. The food came out fast which was a plus, it tasted fresh, but lacked flavor. The coffee cake was the best part of the whole meal! Table was wiped , but chairs had food particles that we had to clean. We probably will not be returning as this was not worth the wait in line.

Came from Oregon for a USMC promotion to Captain for our son. He loves eating here. After the mornings ceremony we came to eat here to celebrate and start our touristy day. The vegetarian sandwich with added steak was fully loaded with the most incredible veggies and just the right amount steak. The omelet was loaded and side of potatoes with toast that was perfectly done. The view is great and enjoyed watching the boats come and go. Looked like a full restaurant and we found a 4 spot table and one person held it while the other 3 walked up to place order and pay for food, cashier gave us a number to display on the table. The speed of the kitchen was highly unexpected !! We barely were in conversation and food arrived , perfectly plated and temperature of food was spot on! I was afraid the fries were looking undercooked, they were awesome ! Crispy and hot! Not one left ! Pancakes all were eaten and great flavor. Just under $74 for all 4 of us. I would go back here to try anything else without hesitation ! Staff at cashier was a pure joy to talk to and she was very friendly. Waiter/server was not intrusive and very nice, you refill your drinks at fountain / water machine. Highly recommend eating here.
