## About
VAGA (noun – Spanish) wanderer, drifter

For a true “vaga,” the journey is never-ending; the spirit and palate, always curious.

Drawing ingredients and inspiration from near and far, VAGA explores San Diego’s ever-changing confluence of culture and wanderlust. From its perch on a coastal bluff in Encinitas, California, VAGA keeps one hand in the ocean, one hand in the farm, and both eyes on the horizon.

sandiegolovezfood @vagarestaurant in Encinitas has gorgeous ocean views and fine dining. We caught a spectacular sunset as well! They are located at Alila Marea Beach Resort @alilamareabeachresort
We tried:
• Tuna tataki
• little gem salad
• Alaskan halibut
• smoked short ribs
• broccolini
• wild rice pilaf
• strawberry fields
• Honey bee
This was one of my favorite meals especially the halibut! The bartender also created some off menu mocktails just for us. We enjoyed our meal

The perfect restaurant for outdoor dining and ocean views! I was thrilled to bring my fiancé and her mom to this dinner spot. Amazing coastal menu!

So many new flavor profiles I haven’t tried before! Perfect for a low-key luxurious date night. The service was impeccable

Date night with a beautiful beach view! You get the choice of sitting outside or inside. Great service and food is amazing! Everything comes out beautifully presented. You can get drinks and there’s a DJ outside. Reservations accepted.

Beautiful ocean views

I hate giving bad reviews but this place was not great, especially for how expensive it is.  The Stone Fruit and Burrata app comes with half a burrata for $21, and the pork entree and short rib entrees were DRY! For $62 and $38, they should be cooked well.  Service was so slow, we couldn’t even complain about the dryness of the dishes. We were hardly checked in on, so we were unable to order a bottle of wine to enjoy with our entrees (wouldn’t have gotten to us in time anyway).The views are nice

Loved the presentation on everything and had good service. They will let you taste tests the wine to see which you liked

For my Tuna Crudo the chips were a bit stale and very seasoned a little too much salt maybe? The presentation was still beautiful. The scallops were a great combination of flavor. Scallops, bacon, and cauliflower 

My favorite was the mango desert with roasted coconut. This was so delicious

It is easy to be distracted by the ocean Sunset views as it is by the beautifully a plated dishes.
