    Some friends of mine brought me to Et Voila French Bistro for a birthday dinner. I have not been…read morehere since 2016 when they first opened. For my dinner, I had the traditional Boeuf bourguignon with pappardelle pasta. My friends ordered the Steak au Poivre et Frites and Coq au Vin. We also had a great bottle of wine called Lacoste-Borie 2018. The last time I had boeuf bourguigon was about 20 years ago. a rendition of Anthony Bourdain's recipe, but without the pappardelle pasta. Et Voila's version with the pappardelle was outstanding. The freshly made pasta, not only added great texture, but also flavor. It prepared just right, too. The Cabernet sauce was excellent and offered a great depth of flavors. The dish also came with tender carrots, sweet pearl onions, and white mushrooms. All of them were perfect. The beef was rendered down beautifully and had great color and was very tender to the touch. The beef offered exceptional preparation and was an absolute pleasure to eat with the Cabernet sauce. Well done chef. I was treated to a house soufflé which was excellent. It hit all the notes: light, soft, and airy, but packed with flavor. The sauce that came along with it was very good. My friends, who are regulars here, were very pleased with their dishes as well. I have to say, both of their dishes looked amazing. The hospitality at this French Bistro is first rate. All the employees, including the owner, were very amiable and welcoming. They aim to provide an excellent dining experience and that's what they do. This place is perfect for date night, special occasions, or just to simply enjoy a delicious quiet meal.

    We were looking for an authentic french restaurant and we found this one online in San diego it is…read morea little bit of s drive for us but with all the reviews that I have read it seems worth it. It was also my husband's birthday so I really wanted it to be special! We got seated as soon as we arrived in a booth! We immediately were greeted by Nancy who by the way was amazing at that time! The food were amazing and delicious we started with Soup à l'oignon which was great then the raviolis aux champignons which was also amazing but we wished that it would be much more warmer... We then followed by steak frites aux poivre, we asked it medium rare not cut and sauce on the side and it was perfect it comes with brocolis and green beans in the side with french fries and ask for ketchup and aïoli which was yummy as well! We wanted to make it a french dinner so we also ordered a chessboard after the main course! We were so glad that we ordered one entrée as we could have not made it to the dessert if we were to do the cheeseboard and dessert as well! After the cheeseboard we ordered the profiteroles for dessert and a Cappuccino! The dinner birthday was a success I do recommend it for people that are looking for an authentic french restaurant! Cons were the ambiance it was a little bit loud and also they weren't giving any complimentary birthday dessert also, the bread at the beginning were delicious but if you want a refill they will charge you for it. We brought a bottle of red wine which was free corkage since we also ordered a bottle of white from their menu. But the corkage fee would be $45! Overall we had a wonderful time! And I highly recommend it for the food!

Came here based off of a recommendation from one of the bartenders at Campfire. He had told me they had a great non-alcoholic program and amazing seafood dishes. I didn't realize this was a Michelin star restaurant and didn't realize they had a tasting menu but I was interested in a la carte and the options were fantastic. First off, I was wearing flip flops and when I walked up to the restaurant, the people dining outside were beautifully dressed, men in suits, all that. I asked the hostess if I was under dressed and she made me feel so comfortable and said of course not and that people can wear whatever they want in here and that they're not fancy, it's California. Loved that. You never know what to expect coming to a restaurant like this so that initial welcoming was awesome. I took a seat at the bar, I was dining alone and this is a great spot for a solo evening. The restaurant is absolute perfection. I mean the pink, velvet booths, chairs, bar, decor, everything was intentional and just stunning. They had an open kitchen concept, which was just the coolest. I loved watching the kitchen in action. I would say it was organized chaos because every kitchen in a restaurant is chaotic but it wasn't, just organized and passionate. The bartender Colin was so friendly, so knowledgeable, helpful, exactly what you would want in your employee working here. I told him I was traveling up the coast and he gave me restaurant recommendations along my way. The more interactions I had with the staff the more you could tell that the people who work here take pride in where they work and the kind of work that they do. I love that. I ordered the Tonique to start, a non-alcoholic drink with blane aperitif, chamamile, gentian and sparkling water. It was refreshing and delicious. For a bite I had the yellowtail crudo, an absolutely stunning dish. It was so delicious. The woman who brought my food over described it to me in great detail. I felt like all eyes were on me in terms of the stellar service. In reality, the people who work here were all eyes on everyone making sure the experience was special from start to finish and it was. I would love to come back here one day and do their tasting menu, I was visiting Carlsbad for the first time and wanted to restaurant hop so I kept my visit short and sweet. So glad I came in here.

I skipped the raw bar and for drinks, I opted to order a cocktail on the menu, Milk Punch: rum, coconut roasted oolong, tarragon. Absolutely loved it... so smooth, balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to each course. The Course meals I chose Une (1): Lamb Tartare. Fresh, delicately seasoned, and a beautiful way to start the meal. Between courses, they served warm milk bread with avocado butter. Pillowy soft with rich, creamy avocado butter. Deux (2): Oursin. Rich, creamy, and balanced. I personally like my sea urchin cold, so if you're like me, I would recommend trying another course option Trois (3): Caille. Quail with morels, strawberry, and pistachio. An unexpected combination that came together effortlessly. The thigh part was ever so slightly not as tender as I would have liked. The bottom leg portion was cooked perfectly. Quatre (4): Vacherin. Light, refreshing, and the perfect ending. Not overly sweet, with just the right amount of tart. This was my favorite. Surprise parting bites - a buttery cookie and truffle chocolate were such a thoughtful way to end the evening. Nothing felt overcomplicated or done just to be different. Every dish had a purpose, and the service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced. The service was impeccable. I noticed some yelp reviews complaining about the optional 4% fee. It's written that you can ask them to waive the fee. I'm usually skeptical of added fees, especially when service is mediocre and lazy servers still expect a minimum 18% tip. It was refreshing that Jeune Et Jolie didn't. When I first sat down, I absolutely planned to ask have the 4% removed, but after experiencing the exceptional service, I happily left it and even tipped 20%. I'll definitely be back to experience the next seasonal menu.

First things first, make a reservation. They book up fast so save your self the hassle of trying to walk in and just book it ahead of time. Second, come ready to spend.

When my friend pointed out the phantom items, instead of apologizing, she actually lectured him that he "needs to order better." While she reduced the item's price, it didn't really matter because she embarrassed him over her own mistake. If the goal was to inflate the bill for a bigger tip, this isn't the way. She also went out of her way to trash-talk CH restaurants, which is ironic since a CH employee has never lied or lectured me over their own mistakes. As a business owner, I would want to know if my staff was behaving this way. I hope management addresses it.
