Jeune et Jolie
Californian French
The room is dressed in shades of rose and flooded with natural light, which sets the tone before you've looked at a single menu. This is a nouvelle French fine dining spot in Carlsbad, where the wide-open kitchen turns out a prix fixe that most regulars default to, though the bar suits a shorter visit. The cocktail program holds its own, and The New York Times flagged the desserts. It holds a Michelin star.
