Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Chula Vista / Bonita

The vibe is good, music, visuals and drinks where tasty. As far as the food the menu was very small only appetizer size plates. It could use 3 entree options. Overall a wonderful time.

Mr. A's treats you like you are the only one they are there to serve. Food and drink are exceptional, not to mention the sunset view and continuous airshow. Excellent for a special occasion. Israel our server is tops.

We’ve been to The Smoking Goat numerous times over the years and we’ve never been disappointed. It’s pricey AF but it’s worth it. A great place for a special occasion or just to celebrate life, friends or family. The Escargot is always on point. I had the Duck this visit and it was delicious! The Steak Frites is always a winner if you love Truffle fries and a good steak. The Pork Chop was phenomenal this visit as well. The menu does change seasonally, but we’ve never had anything we didn’t like. The cocktails are equally complimentary. I recommend the French 75… so tasty I had 2. Adam was our server this time and he was flawless and very attentive to our needs.

Unpretentious with casual ambiance. Server was fantastic, exuded upbeat & engaging energy throughout our dining experience. I never felt rushed. My reservation changed from 2, 4,5 back to 2 - the host was unbothered each time & more than accommodating to update the number of guests ( a portion of the party had a fender bender while en route). The smoked salmon tartine deconstructed was excellent - the salmon was delicious & buttery! French onion soup stock was rich and comforting. The blood orange spritzers with a sprig of rosemary was served in a healthy glass & complimented my afternoon break from reality!

Thanksgiving with the family and the menu was great. Buffet style service with traditional turkey dinner, prime rib, shrimp & crab bar, and so much more. Worth the price and very friendly staff. Took our 2 year old and the staff was very happy to have her. Considering doing this again if we decide not to cook.
