Unfortunately, the food and service fell well short of expectations. The fajitas were mediocre at best, the steak was quite tough, and everything arrived only lukewarm. Throughout the meal we had to ask for basic items like napkins, cutlery, and corn tortillas, and our water glasses were never refilled. The most disappointing part was at the end of the meal. While service during dinner felt inattentive, once it was time to pay, the waiter stood over us waiting while we completed the payment on his handheld device, which felt unnecessarily rushed and uncomfortable. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience. The pleasant service and nice patio weren't enough to make up for the mediocre food and lack of attention to the basics.

Thanks to a bartender and her regulars at an Italian restaurant in Vista for putting Harlow's on…read moreour radar! Initially, I'd added Harlow's on our list of places to check out, but feeling adventurous -- and given we were already in the area -- we chanced getting in. Fortunately for us, there were 2 seats at the bar top! What an adventure for us to drive out there; located within what was once a golf course. From the moment you enter through the front door, it's old school luxury and elegance: low, dim lighting (some areas darker and more intimate than others); a variety of seating options, some with beautiful, plush furnishings and fascinating art & decor; classy vibe yet casual and comfortable. Very speakeasy. Entertainment is performed on select nights. The staff was wonderful! Given this unexpected stop, we enjoyed cocktails only; however, friendly guests around us praised their menu items. Exquisite find -- one in which we plan to revisit very soon. Open Thursdays through Saturdays, 4:00 - 10:00 P.M.

We ordered the Smoked Salmon Tartine, and it was SO good -- farmer's cheese, capers, pickled onion and dill on their sourdough. Honestly, the food was top tier. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, and after trying the bread we actually ended up buying some to take home! For drinks, we had a matcha latte with oat milk and the canned nitro cold brew. Just a heads-up for my fellow coffee people: the cold brew isn't made in-house, but that didn't stop it from being really good! We liked the coffee so much that we actually went over to the local coffee shop that supplies their beans afterward and bought some beans to take home. And definitely don't skip the bakery. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, and the chocolate croissant had that super crispy, crackly exterior. I personally would have loved a little more filling to make it slightly more moist, but that's completely subjective -- if you love a crispier croissant, you'll probably LOVE it. The atmosphere might have been my favorite part. It's beautiful, calm, inviting and just has that perfect Carlsbad coastal café vibe. Between the food, fresh bread, pastries and atmosphere, this is absolutely somewhere I'd come back to whenever we're in the area. Definitely worth a stop -- and come hungry because everything coming out of that kitchen looks delicious!

I would say campfire focuses on flavor blasts, with enhancement of the food through certain garnishes and sauces. The portions are not very large, but they are filling depending on how many different items you get. Our server was very kind and helped guide us on our journey. We had an outdoor table around 6:15 PM and it was absolutely gorgeous. Inside seemed nice too, but I did enjoy outside more due to the calmer and quieter atmosphere. I would highly recommend trying this place out with a group of four.

The crudo and broccoli were my favorite. I would get those again. The broccoli was crispy and there was a sweet buttery sauce underneath. The cavatelli was interesting - it comes with a soft poached egg. I'm not sure I would get it again. The market fish was salmon and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly. Our server Katie was super friendly and let us take our time.

Minus the surfeit of caramel, the Cobbler was just the sweetness we needed to satisfy our fancy for a dessert!

Alex and Brittany are always so nice and welcoming anytime we come. Alex is amazing! We always engage in conversations with the workers who are always so kind.

Appetizers I would recommend that are delicious would be: spicy garlic edamame, truffle fries, buffalo wings, poke nachos, fried calamari, chicken lettuce wraps, and guac and chips. I enjoy trying the different ciders, hard kombuchas, and cocktails on the menu. The POG and Jamaica ciders are so good. And the employees do a great job with offering tastings of the different drinks on tap. Overall, we have always had an amazing experience every time we come. They even surprised us with an anniversary dessert when we told them we were celebrating. Thank you to all the amazing employees here!

The staff has always been friendly, and it's definitely a fun place to meet up for drinks. But honestly, I really don't understand the hype around the food here. I don't think I've ever actually liked a meal I've ordered, let alone loved one. Every time I give it another chance, I leave disappointed. Last night I ordered the steak bowl and it had almost no flavor. It also came with a ton of large broccoli stems that were undercooked and woody. For $25, it just wasn't worth it. At this point, if I come back, it'll probably only be for drinks or maybe happy hour apps.

There's a patio, bar area, and table and booth seating. We ordered 3 sliders and onion rings to share. The sliders were 1) mushroom & Swiss, 2) Smokehouse BBQ, and 3) classic cheeseburger. Each of the sliders was unique and very flavorful, with well-seasoned beef patties and recognizable flavor profiles. My favorite was actually the mushroom & Swiss. The onion rings almost stole the show for me, believe it or not. They were some of the best onion rings I've ever had--light and tasteful breading, perfectly succulent onions. The ranch and bleu cheese they use are really nice too. Highly recommend this spot to any and all burger lovers or fans of epic onion rings!
