Campfire - New American restaurant in Carlsbad - 2725 State St, USA

Great experience from beginning till end. Every little touch really made the difference. All the dishes were impressive. Something so simple, like market vegetables, can become the highlight of the meal! The birthday card for my daughter really added a special touch of thoughtfulness. What a great experience!

Came here at 5:15 pm, one of the first people here for dinner. Ordered the roasted broccoli which was so so good. It was kind of burnt and had a really good yellow sauce. This was the best broccoli and never had it like this. I ordered the American Wagyu steak with a hash brown type thing for my main dish and my partner got roasted fish. Amazing restaurant!

Everything about the drinks, dinner, and dessert, was phenomenal. For a starter we had the porridge bread, and for entrees I had the brisket and my friend had the chicken. Both were excellent. The s’more was delish - I could’ve actually gone for a little less chocolate, it was so rich! Everything was perfect. If I’m ever back in the area, I will definitely return.

The food was amazing and so were the drinks! Everything was tasty in its own way. The olives, broccoli and crudo all started off amazing and then we had the chicken and octopus and they were so good. We wanted dessert but we’re just too full. I definitely want to come back again.

It's my first time here, and it meets the mark for food and atmosphere. Service was good, but it did take a while for the various dishes to come out. However, the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the smokey olives and bass. The hummus was great, too. Although the broccoli was prepared with a lemon vinegarette, it also had a unique charred taste. The portion of broccoli was huge. The server knew her craft and was very efficient.

The nicest staff and unique food! Would recommend any of the dishes. The cheesecake is very goaty but if you love goat cheese it’s a good choice.

I waited almost one year to come to this place because I live too far south in San Diego and I'm so so so glad I finally came here! Such amazing, amazing, amazing food and service and everything! Came here as a little bit of a celebration because my family was visiting from India and London and my husband and I also just bought a new house. Ambiance was beautiful, silvers were all super sweet and service was extremely quick as well! crudités (raw and charred spring vegetables + burrata miso) This was quite a surprise. Good amount of vegetables in here and that burrata on top was so perfect. Really creamy and went perfectly well with the veggies. porridge bread (whole wheat & rye bread with sea salt butter) Not sure where the name of this comes from but the bread had a really funky shape. Crusty on the outside and saw from the inside. The butter that it came with was lovely and the bread butter combination was good. broccoli ( with chermoula. lime. peanut) This was probably the best dish on the table! My brother who doesn't like vegetables as much said this was his favorite so this means a lot. Every one of the table loved it! Perfectly soft broccoli charred on the outside with just the right amount of char. It had a bit of a lemon. Something on the broccoli itself and crushed peanuts around it with a chermoula sauce on the bottom. Oh man! That sauce was freaking amazing!! I actually asked for extra of that sauce just to have all of the broccoli with it. What a beautiful beautiful dish. I wouldn't mind coming here just for this broccoli! Wagyu Skewers Perfectly cooked and flavorful too! ¼ Chicken (charred. chili cocoa nib relish. yogurt. grilled eggplant) Super delicious dish. Chicken was perfectly softly cooked and fell off the bone. Delicious. It Had some grilled eggplant on the side, and some really bomb yogurt sauce! Such a freaking good sauce. Oh my gosh. The sauce for the chicken was so good. I asked for more of the sauce plain. Smoked brisket (With coffee rub. polenta. pickled green tomato) Brother, order this dish. He thoroughly enjoyed it. Beef was perfectly cooked and had really good flavor as well. Only issue is that some parts of it had a decent amount of fat and he took some time to cut all that fat off. Polenta on the side was also yummy. Cavatelli pasta (with braised lamb neck. black garlic. tomato. sunflower) I was a little skeptical when my husband was ordering the dish but man it was lovely! Perfectly cooked pasta and the black garlic sauce was amazing. Lamb didn't seem fatty at all and overall this dish had amazing flavor. Beautiful presentation as well Server was so nice that they offered us free dessert for our celebration. When we couldn't pick between the s'mores and cheesecake, they offered us both! Cheesecake was really lovely. It had a distinct flavor to it that I can't quite pinpoint but super good. S'mores were also quite flavorful. The graham cracker and chocolate were very good quality. Only downside is that it was a bit hard to roast the marshmallows on top of the little heater they had. To quite a while so we just gave up and the marshmallow. It didn't get as soft as expected. Good flavor overall though.

Such an amazing place and experience here. With a somewhat fusion style of amazing and differently choice of menu items, it was definitely a great time for my wife and I. The service, staff and management are outstanding!!! Located in the main food district of Carlsbad California on State Street. This is definitely one of my new favorite go to restaurants when I visit San Diego's North County area. The manager Janae, was very accommodating to my food allergies to the point where they highlighted what they thought I may enjoy. Our food concierge Kaely, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I chose the Chicken with Eggplant and a yogurt dressing. My wife had the Broccoli and fresh Sea bass. I highly recommend that if you are visiting the area, that you stop in and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and friendliness of this place. I must mention that parking can be tough to find, but it's definitely worth it to try and find one so that you can enjoy the experience here. If you happen to come for a visit tell them Marc from Marc's Bachelor's Kitchen sent you. Five Stars all the way around. Thanks so much guys, we'll definitely be back to visit...
