The Roxy

Yes, The Roxy is a great pick for date night. The restored 1920s ambiance, classic cocktails and live music six nights a week create a lively, romantic setting. The menu focuses on shareable plates and elevated comfort food, so you can order a few small plates and a cocktail to linger over. Dress is casual, and the mood balances relaxed and festive, ideal for a fun, music-forward evening out in Encinitas.

Portions vary by dish, there are both share plates and hearty mains. The menu explicitly lists share plates (like Ahi Carpaccio and Potato Fritters) meant for sharing, plus substantial entrées such as 8oz burgers (The Roxy Burger, Wrangler Western Cheeseburger) and entrees like Steak Frites and Short Rib Ragu. Expect family-style plates for starters and full-sized mains for entrees, so you can mix sharing plates and individual dishes.
