   This was our first time dinning at Collette’s. The food was delicious. We had the scallops and the steelhead trout. All the food tasted wonderfully fresh and was creatively prepared. Annie and all the staff were attentive and pleasant.

   It was the best dining experience we’ve had in a long time! The food was absolutely incredible and they paid attention to every little detail! And not just to the food, but to the place settings, the chairs, the cucumber water, the amuse bouche, the palate cleanser, literally everything. Even the bathrooms were creative and pleasant. The ambience was warm and comfortable, and the noise level was just right. The service was also incredible, never had to ask for anything, and gave great recommendations from the menu. The Pork Tomahawk was on this delicious polenta and chorizo size and we loved it! We also loved the Farmer’s Vegetables and the drinks we had. I never write reviews, but I really want to support this local restaurant because it is excellent and we will definitely be going back!

   This is little gem in downtown Escondido I had the scallops which were delicious. My husband had the skirt steak which was also very good. The portions are not large but it was enough. The pistachio gelato-very rich and creamy We will be back!

   Great restaurant for a casual upscale dinner. It has a new chef and I am hopeful it does well. It uses farm to table concept and this time of year there isn’t much farming in the area. That concept will function better in the spring and summer, IMHO.

   Really wanted to like this place. The service was extremely slow. The food was decent at best. I would come back in hopes of better service. I may try some other choices on the menu.

   The food choices were excellent and both myself and my wife enjoyed the salmon and Brazilian beef, respectfully. Your chef is EXCELLENT, but I think she needs some help to get food out a bit sooner. we will come back and look forward to other "farm to table" offerings. Just a thought. And would like to see a bit more mid-range priced red wines. Joseph Phelps Insignia is delicious, but I'm not spending $422 a bottle.

   Menu online is really confusing. Great service and ambiance. Good food but needs a little more flavor/spices. Pricy.

   Excellent food. Very unique concept. Fantastic service. Escondido is lucky to have such a high caliber restaurant. I hope people continue to support it.

    Nestled in a cozy spot in Escondido , this farm-to-table restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable tasting menu experience. Every dish celebrates local, seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms, transforming humble produce into culinary art. The chef’s passion is evident as each plate tells a story, like a hearty soup that feels like autumn in a bowl, or a fresh salad that captures the essence of spring. The atmosphere is intimate, with a rustic charm that perfectly complements the meal. By the end, we left feeling nourished, inspired, and profoundly connected to the land.
