I was 30mins early with homemade bday cake in hand to surprise the bday girl. Since I was the first one there, Ludo & staff were exceptionally sweet to let me sit & wait even though all parties haven't showed up yet. Exceptional customer service!!! 12 out 10!! Delicious food & pretty big portions. Can't rave enough about this fine establishment!! Btw, there's an extra charge for bringing outside cakes which isn't a problem. In fact!!! They went above & beyond with cutting the cake & decorating each slices with fresh fruit & tasted like a coulis sauce. Gave the restaurant staff the rest of my homemade pandan carrot cake to share. Highly recommend Et Voila to every one!

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.

It is a casual place, but you could also get dressed up if you wish. If you are in this area you need to come eat here!

The costs for food and drinks are resort prices and the food was probably the same quality as their other restaurant next door. It was tasty and we had no issues.

Expectacular experience at Jeune et Jolie. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the service and overall experience was simply top notch. The patio space is beautiful and filled with fresh green foliage. The sage and rose colors stand out in the outdoor space. Definitely chic and modern. The food: We started off with the Plateau de fruit the mer: the selection of scallops, shrimp, prawn and oyster was fresh and the flavors they added to each piece made it for a complete unique bite. The three course menu was mainly a hit with the exception of one selection. The hits: Bavarois d'été - caviar , corn mousse Saint Jacques - rhubarb and vanilla Caille- morel was stuffed with sausage Vacherin - decadent and delicious The misses: Gnudi- (the dumpling like version) not bad, definitely not up to par with the rest of the courses. The beverage pairings were a fun add on. Their sommelier comes out for all four drinks and explains how they pair with the food. He also gives you a bit of history on each producer. I'm sad I waited so long to have this wonderful dining experience but I'm happy I finally decided to check it out. Our waitress was lovely too! She made good recommendations and even shared her favorites. I loved the Bavarois d'été so much and could see the dedication put into dish. This prompted me to ask her, "how long does this dish take to make?" She responded "24hours!" I gasped. To learn about the length of time it took to create my favorite course made me even more appreciative for the food I was enjoying. I can't wait to come back and try new items! Nothing but positive things to say about Jeune et Jolie.

Went here as a family for a birthday dinner. Arrived on time for our reservation and were seated…read morepromptly. My daughter was given a birthday card signed by all of the staff. We chose to dine outdoors which was very nice. It was a balmy August evening and nice to dine outdoors. No heat lamps were needed but they have them for cooler nights. The only downside was the train noise which was a minor annoyance. As an aside, when going inside to use the restroom it was very hot and apparent that there's no air conditioning and an open kitchen. Might want to dine outdoors until this rare San Diego heat wave passes. From beginning to end the service was very professional, yet friendly. We were well taken care of. We were promptly met at the table and provided water and drink orders taken. Service was well orchestrated with a nice pace. The four course prix fixe menu ($120) lasted 2.5 hours. The restaurant is advertised as 'French' but I'd describe the cuisine as French nouvelle/New American/Californian. The serve a four-course prix fixe menu, along with an amuse bouche, a bread course and a final chocolate bite, so seven dishes overall. Serving sizes are reasonable and I was the only one to leave hungry (big guy, works out a lot). In my opinion, all of the dishes here were very good but, with the exception of the yellowtail crudo, none of them was over the top. Desert was served with a candle for the birthday girl. Nice touch! The wine list here is almost entirely French with a couple of California wines also on the list. We did the wine pairing ($120) and all of the wines on this list are French. I found all of the wines, except the desert wine (port like) to be mediocre. The kids did the Sans Esprit ($80) which they enjoyed very much. The only negative here is the 4% surcharge added to the bill. It's noted in the small print at the bottom of the menu, so it's strictly legal. However, I personally find upcharges distasteful and not becoming of a restaurant trying to present itself as having great service. I typically subtract this from the tip.

For our appetizers we had the gougere, truffle Brie and duck mousse (I don't remember the actual names lol). Everything was so delicious. The truffle Brie was my favorite. For our entrees we had the venison and salmon. The venison had a really bold flavor and everything went really well together while the salmon was more mild and delicate. Both tasted great nonetheless. For dessert we had the floating island and the special which was a Mille feuille. The desserts were not too sweet which was great. I really enjoyed the floating island. We had a couple of cocktails and a mocktail which were all pretty good but the Persephone was my favorite. The service was fantastic and most importantly -- parking was surprisingly easy for a Saturday night. Unfortunately, they don't have steak tartar on Saturdays so I have to come back to try it!

I used to love Tapenade, so we thought this would be a great idea. This was my first time here but not the person I was with. The service was fairly quick. Unfortunately they were out of the Dover sole. Our server said next time reserve it. We split the crab and mango salad and the rack of lamb. The French bread served at the table stole the show. I could have eaten that all night. The salad was light and flavorful. It has a mayo base that hid some of the crab flavor. The crab was very fresh and large chunks that built up the stack. The rack of Lamb was very inconsistent in cook temperature. Our server never asked us what temp we wanted it at. I had one chop that was perfectly med rare. The other chop on my plate was medium - over cooked. The other 2 chops on the split plate had a similar problem. Also the thickness was very inconsistent. If the lamb had been properly cooked I would have given this spot 5 stars. Not blown away tonight.
