Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Carlsbad

We had the 10 course tasting, not only was the food great, but the overall experience was very enjoyable. Staff was knowledgeable of the items, readily available, and cognizant of the time they spent within our meal. Perfect place to celebrate our anniversary.

Got reservations for seats at the bar. There is a tasting menu, as well as a separate bar menu, mostly small plates. Cocktails from menu are twists on classic cocktails, and they were truly extraordinary, as well as the off menu cocktails we ordered, and we've sampled some of the best. Food sampled at bar: Crudo, Tartare, Pain et Beurre, and Gougere. All were phenomenal. Service at bar was very attentive and knowledgable, they know what they're doing, and they do it well. Cool vibe and music playing from reel to reel player in bar. Very open, busy kitchen with frequent calls from cooks, "Oui, chef!" Great for foodies and cocktail nerds. Pricey, some may not appreciate the value.

It’s a very good restaurant. I can’t say we frequent the place but enjoy happy hour! Steven is a very good server and a better bartender!

AMAZING!! All of the food was phenomenal and so delicious!! Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful during our entire experience. Being vegan, it was such a treat being able to order anything and everything from the menu. The garden outside is very impressive and it's awesome knowing the food you're eating is grown right there. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

We had been to Brickman's for dinner a few days earlier and had an amazing truffle burger and salad (we both had the same) followed by a chocolate chip cookie desert that was fabulous. So we decided to try brunch. This is a no frills menu of all your favorite things, burger, pancakes, a twist on eggs benedict but my husbands eyes widened at the size of the breakfast burrito which was fabulous and I couldn't have been happier with my smoked salmon toast on sourdough bread. It was scrumptious. Add to that a perfect peach bellini (not too peach and not too sweet) and we call this brunch a success!
