  • Hot spot
A New American restaurant and cocktail bar with a focus on market driven live-fire cooking, Campfire is a return to the origins of cooking and hospitality, and celebrates the spirit of the name by creating an environment in which we gather around a fire, create honest food, and share it with friends.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Eric Bost

  • Award icon
    MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: This massive open-flame restaurant charmed diners with fire pits, a wall decorated with camping gear, and warm communal vibes when it opened in 2016. It still has powerhouse status thanks to an excellent craft cocktail program and seasonal wood-fired masterpieces, which could include fire-roasted octopus with green harissa or smoked coffee-rubbed brisket.

    Cade is a top notch server and was so kind to our family of 4 (two young kids). Cute tent in the back where our 5 year old found a friend and played after his meal. My husband and I haven’t had a meal this one is a LONG time. Everything from the host stand, assistant server, Cade our server was top notch. Not a single hiccup during our experience which we feel like is hard to find nowadays. We live in Florida but will be visiting their sister restaurants and visiting again when we come back to Carlsbad!

    The food was amazing and the service staff was immpeccable! We weren’t able to stay for desert, and I think the staff was preparing some thing special for our guest at the table for a birthday, but we were unable to stay for that! I would highly recommend the pork belly… it was melt in your mouth delish!

    This was my first time trying the spring menu, and I enjoyed the best-tasting cornbread I have ever had! Drinks are always crafted to perfection, and it's just one of the best spots in Carlsbad. Thank You to Campfire. I will always recommend Campfire to anyone who comes to Carlsbad.

    We began our “experience” at the bar where creative and innovative drinks are carefully prepared with ice cubes made of purified water from Japan are made. We enjoyed the fabulous broccoli as we sipped and talked with our bartender. While at the bar, a skillet of way too rich cornbread was “gifted” to us (and went home with us). Dinner service was excellent, attentive, but nonintrusive. We shared the pork chop and the seabass—both excellently charred. A birthday treat was served, a sorbet of some type topped with small berries. It was “nondescript,” and we both did not enjoy it. All in all, a fabulous experience.

    We have been looking forward to trying this restaurant since our last visit to Carlsbad. The food was excellent as well as the service, but I have to admit we were a little in sticker shock at the end bill. The portions are a bit on the small side and ordering a couple items from starters to entree is recommended for a full dining experience. I was just disappointed that we won’t be back only because I didn’t feel the price wasn’t equal to the value and ambience expected for a higher end meal. I would still recommend for others.
