    The food and service were excellent. The sound level inside was extremely loud. So we requested seating outside which was accommodated. We will definitely return.

    Food and atmosphere was great. Seemed like our server was spread too thin.

    We visit Campfire every time we visit Carlsbad from Northern California. Like sister Carlsbad restaurant Jeune and Jolie (Michelin starred), the food is incredible and the service is flawless. This time, the menu did not include one of our favorites (the barbecued quail), but all the dishes we had (roasted oysters and shrimp, beet salad, crudo, roasted broccoli and sea bass entree) were all fantastic. Service for our anniversary dinner was best we have had anywhere, especially our server Olivia. Thank you Campfire team for a wonderful celebration dinner!
