- KKathyvipSan Diego •13 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe visit Vintana for Happy Hour on a regular basis. Food is always excellent and so is the service. We have tried other restaurants but always seem to come back to Vintana. They know how to do happy hour!More infoVintana Wine & DinePrice: Expensive• American• Escondido•4.6

- MBMattBLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe wanted to have a nice quiet dinner to celebrate my mother’s recent move to the area. The food was very good and the service provided by Fernando, our waiter, was first rate. He helped my mom navigate the menu and had the kitchen prepare a special order, because of her food restrictions, which she really enjoyed. We were well taken care of!More infoBellamy's RestaurantPrice: Moderate• American• Escondido•4.6
- DDr. SusanvipSan Diego •347 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 29, 2024Actually ordered something not on the luncheon menu and the chef gladly agreed to prepare it! I'm sure they were being extra nice as it wasn't as busy as it is earlier in their regular lunch time service crowd. But . . . they did it! Can't beat that for personal care of their customers.More infoBrigantine EscondidoPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Escondido•4.6
- DEDougEvipSan Diego •11 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 25, 2024This weekend, we visited Collette's for the first time. We opted for a tasting menu, as we heard that was their focus for their opening week. Honestly speaking, we were more than impressed. We were blown away. Let me try to give a few details. After ordering our drinks (try the High on the Hog!), we were brought a little starter that had something called dragon thumb beans in a spicy tomato jam. This was served with a house made hummus. This dish was very different but fantastic. We then were served the crab toast that was small and delicate and wonderful. You could taste every ingredient. It was served with little poached crab and a meringue egg. This dish was my wife's favorite. Next, we had the slow roasted carrots. This dish was so complex that I haven't figured out exactly what was it in besides pomegranate seeds, some eatable flowers and a cream sauce under the very sweet carrots that had some sort of mild Indian spice. I could have eaten this as an entree. We then were served the aged New york steak and the Asian inspired chicken. Both were great and filling. For desert, we were served a pomegranate sorbet, a bit-sized tres leches cheese cake, and a small piece of the basil / lime curd cake. Each of these was so different and fantastic that it was hard to pick a favorite. As you can tell, we had a great evening. We were not rushed, which let us really enjoy such a special meal. We truly appreciate the farm to table approach and Chef Hunsakers amazing talent. We will certainly be back.More infoCollette’sPrice: Very Expensive• Farm-to-table• Escondido•4.9
