608 in Oceanside Means Great Food

I'm always on the lookout for new, interesting restaurants.  My lunch group meets once a month.  We have explored Convoy Street, Little Italy, and now Oceanside.  I'm always complaining about the restaurants in Oceanside, but really, there are some very good choices.  608 on Mission Ave can now be added to the list.

Chef William Eick opened 608 last year.  His goal is to produce classic, comfortale and familiar staples with bold flavors.  He has succeed.  He combines Asian, Mexican, and classic American food to produce some great, unique dishes.  Our lunch group enjoyed everything.  We had a short rib and grilled cheese sandwich with great fries, a fried chicken sandwich (delicious), broccolini, which was fried and mounded on top of a mole sauce, and a beet and strawberry salad with goat cheese.  For dessert we tried the spice cake, served with creamy mousse, jalapenos for a little spice, pieces of honeycomb, and a drizzle of honey.  I loved it.

608  serves a good variety of beer and wine, in fact everyone except me had beer and really enjoyed it.  At night the place is jumping, so make a reservation.  The food is good, the prices are moderate, and the service is great.  Everyone is very friendly and helpful.  It's right on Mission, right near the ocean, so parking can be a bit of a problem.  Try 608 for a new experience.  You  won't be disappointed.
