Campfire is the wood-fire dining room at 2725 State Street, Carlsbad, CA 92008 — village, not the beach parking lot. Founder John Resnick; executive chef Eric Bost. The name is the method: California ingredients pushed at live fire, the same idea the Michelin Guide has already catalogued for this address. Toast gift cards and a full menu live on the site; this is a reservation restaurant, not a walk-up taco window.

They talk coasts, forests, mountains, and deserts as the pantry. What you actually get is a dark, fire-lit room on State Street that books up because it is still one of the few Carlsbad dinners that feels like a destination instead of a tourist default.
