Lilo in Carlsbad Earns San Diego’s Only New Michelin Star for 2025 | Eater San Diego

"Awarded the San Diego area’s only Michelin star in the 2025 California guide, this intimate tasting-room concept from the Jeune et Jolie/Campfire team of chef Eric Bost and partner John Resnick opened roughly 10 weeks before the announcement. The 22-seat service is centered on mostly counter seating that wraps a fully open cooking area (with two four-top tables available), and offers a 12-course menu with counterside flourishes. Housed in a striking, architecturally notable space, guests are also guided to nearby lounge areas for pre-dinner snacks and post-meal drinks. The multi-faceted, more ambitious dinner program—positioned as a complement to the team’s other Michelin-starred operation—suggests potential to earn additional stars in future years." - Matthew Kang
