- KRKReviewsSan Diego •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoReally nice Restaurant Week 3 course meal. I was pleasantly surprised with the generous entree sizes for the RW price. Service was attentive. Skirt steak on the RW menu was subbed for a very generous 10 Oz NY steak. I did didn’t think it had the greatest flavor though. Short rib entree was great.More info333 Pacific - Steaks & SeafoodPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Oceanside•4.6
- TTimVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoCampfire is always a highlight of our visits from San Francisco to North County San Diego and remains firmly on our Favorites list. The friendly staff and warm, comfortable environment make every meal feel special. The menu is creatively curated, striking the perfect balance between innovation and consistency. We’re always delighted to see our favorites, like the broccoli, regularly featured! The drink selection and wine list are equally impressive, and we deeply appreciate the bartending team’s exceptional creations. Campfire is a true gem—we can’t wait to return! Let me know if you’d like to tweak anything further!More infoCampfirePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.8
- TTimVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA Michelin Star Romance in Carlsbad: David and I recently indulged in not one, but two incredible dinners this week at Jeune et Jolie, our favorite culinary escape in Carlsbad. And yes, we did briefly entertain the idea of sneaking in a third visit—though we joked with our server Kyle that it might veer into “too much of a good thing” territory. (Let’s be honest, there’s no such thing when it comes to Jeune et Jolie.) This restaurant continues to deliver an experience that’s polished yet effortlessly comfortable. The menu is a masterclass in balance, with each dish more inventive and satisfying than the last. The wine list? A delight. The sommelier’s thoughtful recommendations added a whole new dimension to our meal, pairing perfectly with the flavors while making us feel like connoisseurs (we’re not, but we’ll take it). The service, as always, struck just the right note—attentive without hovering, warm without overstepping. Kyle and the rest of the team make you feel like old friends, creating an easy, elevated vibe that feels personal but never pretentious. The space itself remains a jewel: sophisticated, lively, and effortlessly chic. Dining here feels like being part of a well-kept secret, even with the Michelin star glittering proudly in the background. Reservations through OpenTable were smooth (thank you for that!) and a lifesaver, given the popularity of this spot. It’s no surprise Jeune et Jolie is a North County San Diego darling—it’s intimate, innovative, and worth every bite. We’ll be back—probably sooner than we should admit. For now, we’ll revel in the memory of those two perfect dinners, knowing a third visit isn’t entirely out of the question. Cheers to the entire team!More infoJeune et JoliePrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary French• Carlsbad•4.9

Discover Oceanside
Known for its beautiful beaches, Oceanside has evolved into one of the sun-kissed seaside communities that keep California alive in the imagination of millions. Recently, Oceanside has experienced a great expansion of restaurants both large and small. While enjoying the picturesque Oceanside Pier, visitors can sample the nostalgic taste of vintage burgers and milkshakes. Of course, this city by the sea also features plenty of fresh California seafood and sushi. As you can expect from towns throughout Southern California, Oceanside offers a variety of authentic Mexican restaurants as well. These run the gamut from rustic taco vendors to sit-down establishments with live musical entertainment. Arguably, Oceanside fully represents the culinary diversity that is the pride of California.
