- CCarolineSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoBeautiful restaurant inside. I rated three stars for food only because there were scant few vegetarian and vegan items. Those were basically side orders. There is not one salad available as an option. The other four people in our party that ordered meat meals really enjoyed their food. I also ranked 4 for noise because the only table available was outside, which is next to another restaurant that had their own music playing. I think if you requested a table inside, it would be perfect. I ordered a martini and it was average And very small. We ordered the s’mores for dessert (And there is actually a vegan option with a vegan marshmallow) But they didn’t really Taste like s’mores. The presentation was lovely though, although not real effective grilling your own marshmallow over tiny coals. I would definitely go back if the Restaurant would provide some actual vegan meals.More infoCampfirePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.7
- KKennethLondon •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThis is a restaurant inside a Westin Hotel. There was virtually no one in the restaurant and the menu was rather limited for lunch, so we thought it is probably a miss. But it turned out that the food was quite good. We'll consider coming back for dinner at some point.More info20|TWENTYPrice: Expensive• Californian• Carlsbad•4.4
- SSusanvipEdmonton / Northern Alberta •22 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 11, 2024Went for dinner on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was very busy with not enough staff. In talking to server it was apparent that this was unexpected. The craft beer was good and the food was excellent.More info7MILE KitchenPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Carlsbad•4.3
