A New American restaurant and cocktail bar with a focus on market driven live-fire cooking, Campfire is a return to the origins of cooking and hospitality, and celebrates the spirit of the name by creating an environment in which we gather around a fire, create honest food, and share it with friends.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Eric Bost

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: This massive open-flame restaurant charmed diners with fire pits, a wall decorated with camping gear, and warm communal vibes when it opened in 2016. It still has powerhouse status thanks to an excellent craft cocktail program and seasonal wood-fired masterpieces, which could include fire-roasted octopus with green harissa or smoked coffee-rubbed brisket.

    Our family absolutely loved campfire! We have a family of four with two boys, six and eight and while being a nice restaurant, you could still be casual, and it was loud enough where you didn’t feel like you had to shush the kids all night. Food and drink was fantastic!! The s’more dessert was big per person so we were glad we only ordered 2 servings to share. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Everything was absolutely amazing! Great spot, the service was very attentive and our waiter explained the menu in incredible detail. We ordered a bunch of stuff for the table so everyone could try everything. We had the cornbread, broccoli, pork belly as starters. The broccoli definitely lived up to the hype and although I alway LOVE porkbelly, it was my least favorite of the 3. For entrees we split the chicken, pork, and the market fish which was halibut. All of them were incredible! My mom that does not typically eat fish also said the halibut was great. For desert we got all 3, the smores, pot de creme, and baked alaska. I wish I could give more advice on which dishes were most worth the cost but everything was incredible and my dad called it one of the best meals he has ever had

    Cade is a top notch server and was so kind to our family of 4 (two young kids). Cute tent in the back where our 5 year old found a friend and played after his meal. My husband and I haven’t had a meal this one is a LONG time. Everything from the host stand, assistant server, Cade our server was top notch. Not a single hiccup during our experience which we feel like is hard to find nowadays. We live in Florida but will be visiting their sister restaurants and visiting again when we come back to Carlsbad!
