Campfire

Campfire in Carlsbad is celebrated for its live-fire, wood-fired cooking and rustic-chic atmosphere, having earned Michelin recognition. Standout menu highlights include the koji-aged ribeye, their famed crispy broccoli tossed in lime vinaigrette with candied peanuts, and signature DIY tableside s'mores made with gingersnap cookies over glowing coals. While widely praised as a California favorite, some note the food may not entirely match the peak Michelin hype.

Commenters generally applaud the food quality and attentive service at Campfire, with particular praise directed at the expertly cooked ribeye and dessert. While most view it as a worthwhile dining destination, some note the relatively high price point and mention that the cornbread can lean dry.
