The 38 Best Restaurants in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"This family-friendly restaurant boosted the Carlsbad dining scene when it first opened in 2016, where it was recognized with a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019 for its live-fire menu. Led by executive chef Eric Bost (also of Jeune et Jolie and his newest restaurant, Wildland), the playful menu offers fire-forward dishes categorized in sections labeled Trailhead, Kindling, the Fire, and Trail’s End. Must-try dishes include whole fire-roasted broccoli with a tasty chermoula, lime and peanuts, Oaxacan-spiced chicken, and smoked pork with pears, romano beans and mustard. Must-try dishes: No matter how old you are, don’t skip the deconstructed, make-your-own s’mores dessert." - Candice Woo
