The Roxy Encinitas on South Coast Highway 101 in Old Encinitas traces its address back to 1978, when the space first served the community as Roxy Restaurant & Ice Cream. The current concept restores the building to a 1920s aesthetic with vintage architecture and intricate interior design, hosting live music six nights a week alongside a shared-plate menu of eclectic American fare and classic cocktails that draw the same Coast Highway 101 evening crowd as Buona Forchetta to the south. The business identifies as both veteran-owned and women-owned, operating a weekend brunch alongside the dinner-and-entertainment format that includes a full bar, fireplace seating, and a late-night kitchen on Fridays and Saturdays. Blistered shishito peppers, salmon penne pasta, and an eight-ounce hanger steak anchor the entrée list, complemented by a wine program that runs alongside the craft cocktail menu on a corridor shared with Lourdes Mexican Food in Cardiff. The late-night format keeps the kitchen running through midnight on weekends, with a 3.95-percent surcharge applied to all checks to fund the nightly live-music program.
