   My wife and I tried Campfire for the first time last night. We shared the cornbread, oysters, beets and roasted broccoli. I also had the smoked pork chop and she had the ricotta cavatelli. Every dish that we tried was delicious. The thing that impresses the most is that every dish was unique to Campfire, like nothing that you would have anywhere else. The creativity that has gone into the menu, to me, is extraordinary. It seems that the main ingredient in each dish is highlighted and accentuated, but not overwhelmed, by each of the added flavors. Service was friendly, helpful, attentive and timely. The noise level where we were sitting was too loud to hold a normal conversation. When we return (and we will) we will try sitting outside, if the weather is warm enough.

   Dinner at Campfire was amazing and truly exceeded our expectations. Everything was so fresh and delicious. To start we had the campfire olives (smoked olives, citrus marinated, confit garlic, rosemary and fresh herbs), porridge bread (whole wheat, rye, sea salt, charcoal butter — we love this bread!), and prawns (ember roasted with prickly pear, mezcal, candied habanero). Next we had a delicious beet dish with red and golden beets (whipped chèvre, yuzu, hibiscus, watercress). My husband had an amazing ricotta cavatelli with oyster mushroom, sunchoke, preserved meyer lemon, and goat cheese. I had the market fish grilled — fresh local halibut, arugula, spring garlic, and white asparagus. Utterly amazing. The staff were all friendly, engaging, and knowlegable about all the food, and also provided a great wine recommendation. We look forward to our next visit!

   I suggest trying at least one dish from each category! We started with the cornbread which gave me such a nostalgic feeling because of the spices. The broccoli was a pleasant surprise and the chicken was juicy, cooked to perfection, beautifully paired with the charred fennel. Wonderful flavors, will be going back to try more!

   Overall food was good and staff was friendly, but we did get sat at probably the worst table in the restaurant (next to the bathroom and the entrance to the kitchen where you heard "corner" every 30 seconds) despite having a reservation for my birthday and there being better tables open. So maybe I should have asked to be moved. Food is pricey and not huge portions but good flavors.

   Went to Campfire to celebrate Easter with friends and family. It’s a great place to try many things on the menu by sharing with a group. I love the Smokey taste that the grille adds to many of the items i on the menu. I even had their vegan S’mores which was a real treat as I don’t eat meat.

   Food is amazing. Service was great. The highlight was definitely the broccoli. It was incredibly good and I don’t even like broccoli!

    The food was great and our host Hanna repaired the small mistake that was made in a very professional way. Love to go there again next time we’re in Carlsbad.
