Have had several meals at J&J since it first opened in 2018. It has always been exceptional, with slight fluctuations in its excellence over the years. Was delighted to find on this latest visit that J&J's magic is at a peak! The attention to detail in food prep and service is tops--and the menu offers exquisitely prepared, unique and delicious choices. Wine pairings were also spot on with the four-course meal.

Absolutely amazing service today!. We had our little boy, Noah there and many of the staff members came around and entertained him and talked with him and ensured he was happy while we dined. The food, as always, was amazing. Thank you everyone for making our last visit with you before our move a wonderful experience. We have loved every moment we have spent there across the last three years.

Outstanding experience. However they add an extra 4% to the bill to help cover the expense for having employees. Not the customers responsibility. Kind of like a resort fee at a hotel.. employees never see the money. Poor judgement from ownership. Rip off.

What a special place! The friendly staff welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm and a warm, calm atmosphere which was refreshingly different than some other restaurants of this caliber. The food selection was creative, beautiful, and of course simply an explosion of fresh flavors that required one to pace themselves to fully savor the blend of French exquisiteness and Southern California influences. Wow!, was uttered several times during our meal. We chose the wine pairing, which was a win for the night. The sommelier was attentive and shared the background on each wine, that cast a story that amplified the experience of each glass of unique wine that complements each course beautifully. We will be back!

Jeune et Jolie remains our favorite restaurant in the San Diego. The food is across-the-board excellent, and staff is courteous and competent without being smarmy. Ours was a prix fixe at $105/person with four courses. Each course had four choices. There was also a beginning amuse bouche, and bread serving after the first course, and a concluding sample of two sweets. The presentations were all excellent. Among the dishes we particularly liked were a veal tartare with just the right amount of sauces, a tasty sea bass that avoided being too bland, and rabbit cooked to perfection. The basic food is good, the sauces make it great, and the presentation is food as art. Definitely worthy of the one star Michelin rating.

Exceptional service and food. This is definitely what you'd expect from a Michelin quality restaurant. The drinks were very good too, the wine was more pricey than I'd expect, even for this level of restaurant. I also found them to be interesting on their own but didn't quite taste the pairing logic; normally I get a "wow" from the food or the wine when paired but as I mentioned they were quite wonderful on their own. The combination of food and mixture of spices and cultural styles were just incredible. The kitchen and the service here are worth the visit.

Super attentive, easy going, and friendly servers, bartenders, and hosts. And everyone was very knowledgeable of the menu. The atmosphere was super relaxed and the music was great. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Food was well executed, very tasty, and very creative. Wine pairing was good, but I thought some of the selection offered could have been done differently, but the wine sommelier was super knowledgeable. Upon my next visit, I will select my wine instead of going through their wine pairing, it is certainly a question of my taste and my personal experience. Ambiance was awesome, retro decor, lively with some details that were appreciative. Dress code from service lack refinement as most everyone were dressed differently. Service was on point, but we haven't seen the manager touching our table, which I find this lacking in all restaurant I dine in California, and finally, there was no one at departure to greet their guests despite leaving late. Quite a bit of comments here, but I will definitely come back to dine as overall the experience was enjoyable!

Each course is a fantastic new surprise of flavor, and with multiple options for each course you can create your own ideal dining experience. The wine pairings were expertly chosen, and the reserve pairing I had with the third course was one of the best wines I've ever had.

I hope J+J updates their menu more often. With such limited choices for each course it would be difficult to return more than every 2-3 months. It would be a good idea to send out emails with the menu changes to motivate returns. The wine list is very good. I would probably not do the pairing again and just get a whole bottle off the list. The waiters, assistant waiters and somm were all very personable and knowledgeable. I think J+J deserves their Michelin star.

Words cannot describe my experience at this restaurant. Food is outstanding. Incredibly creative, fun, delicious, and exciting! Our server, Kyle, was outstanding. Very professional, knowledgeable, but also personable. We could not have asked for a better server. I absolutely recommend the wine pairing for the tasting menu. Every pairing was delicious and matched perfectly. It also took all the decision making out of the process which was greatly appreciated. As someone who comes from Portland which has amazing cuisine on every corner, and as someone who also works in fine dining I was delighted to find a restaurant that blew me away. I am already planning my next visit and I will recommend Jeune et Joile that I know! Absolutely the best place to eat in Carlsbad!
