Wrench and Rodent Seabasstropub

I'll start this off with the easy way out of an AI or chat GPT review was not taken and would be easier, but I'm taking time away from my kids and family to share my experience in hopes others will read it and enjoy the experience of Wrench and Rodent. Our first trip was a surprise after I secured coverage to watch our 6 & 7 year old one night before our 11 year anniversary. Some app offered 50 bucks off a 150 tab. We tried hard and even though the food was amazing, and drinks were tasty, we struggled to hit 150 and I happily covered the tried to spend more than the139.99 tab. 2nd night we went right back when my wife's surprise hit, and we had our second night out without kids. (It is kid friendly but our culinary experience was kid free) All day we talked about how delishious the wings of the sea appetizer was. We talked about the creative menue that changes based upon what was the most fresh. We both agreed that even though the taste, texture, presentation, and deivery/ service from the night before was unmatched we had to try more. We tried to order a little bit of everything from the menue, and every dish equally impressed. I even bugged my friends to tell them how amazing the food, service, and quality were. The people mentioned below had a major impact the first and or second night. Glenn, Shaeahn, Gabe (especially Gabe) turned a culinary experience into a feeling of comfort, care, compassion with a true appreciation for what the chef has created. Down right amazing. Some picture are funny some show tasty food, all live in a memory of the amazing experience their team provided. 5 stars, what is Micchelen doing not eating here and bringing the first star to Oceanside.

The food & service is excellent. Gabe & Reira took great care of us and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We ordered an assortment of rolls and specials that were all delicious. All the fish was extremely fresh and paired well with their respective plates. Its hard just to pick a few, but our favorites were the Hedgehog Roll, Baked Scallops, and Kanpachi. Will definitely be coming back for the delicious food & great people!

This place has the best sushi in north county San Diego that I’ve ever had. I did omakase and was not disappointed. Every dish was better than the last. I lost count of how many dishes were brought for us to try. The ceviche was creative and I loved the little pieces of apple in it. The yellowtail was beautifully done and I loved the local heirloom tomatoes they added to the plate. The cauliflower was creative and had the best flavor. The green lantern roll was my favorite but I also loved the hedge hog roll. The service was superior and my table was constantly surprised with the next dish to try. I would definitely recommend this place. I sat out front and it was a beautiful evening. I do recommend a reservation as it gets busy. I can’t wait to go back.

Celebrated my husband’s birthday here and the food was great. We both got specials and shared nigiri and it was all great. I also loved the Wrench 75 cocktail, it was done properly and tasted amazing. The second one I had with a rosemary sprig and it was awesome. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion if you like seafood!

We had an amazing dinner here, highly recommend their tasting menu, it was an unreal experience. Best dinner I had in a long time.

The absolute best sushi restaurant in Oceanside! The staff is amazing, the food is stellar and the atmosphere is cozy. We had the pleasure of eating here twice while visiting the area and wished they were open Monday and Tuesday to enjoy once more. Our waiter, Giovani, and waitress, Reira, were beyond phenomenal. 10 out of 10 recommend! Do not pass up the opportunity to enjoy the experience here!

First… the damned name is cool! Wrench and Rodent, fantastic. Second… Holy Smokes, The Hedgehog, just put it in your face and you’ll know. A very unique take on sushi and it works!!!! Thanks for existing!
