Celebrated my fiancé Kevin’s 35th birthday here and it was BEYOND amazing! Jeune et Jolie absolutely crushed it. The food was beautiful, the courses were fire, and the entire night felt so special.

Major, major shout-out to Dan—he took incredible care of us! His service was genuinely the best part of the evening and made Kevin’s big 35 truly unforgettable. Go here, and definitely ask for Dan!

Party of 2 went for dinner on a weekend in November. We had a 7pm reservation made a week in advance, and were seated on the patio. They have heaters. We had the standard 4-course meal each. I had a milk punch and really liked the rum. My friend had the beverage pairing and thought the sake paired with the cod was really strong but the rest of the beverages weren't that great. For food, I had the tartare, pigeonneau, porc, and chocolat. They were all good, especially liked trying the squab. But the quantity was always low. Apart from the 4 courses, they also served warm bread, a very little starter with caviar, and some extra dessert (chocolate balls) at the end. Still wouldn't recommend building an appetite for this meal. All the food put together doesn't make for a full meal, I'd say. You're going here for the presentation and the fancy experience. Good place to go if you're looking to use your 150 discount from Chase Sapphire Reserve.

This was my first Michelin starred restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent. I like to think I'm a decent chef at home so this was in part to see what makes Michelin, Michelin. In short, Jeune et Jolie offers you an experience with their tasting menu. Every dish had layers of flavor, often in combinations I didn't expect but nevertheless were amazing to try. The ingredient quality was also top notch, most notably in the Crudo where the tuna flavor stood out compared to your standard sushi restaurant. Despite the small portions, I was totally full by the time dessert was served. The service was great. Everyone was very friendly and quick to help or explain when we had questions. When serving each dish they give you a quick description. Unfortunately the music was a little too loud for me to hear some of it, but I also didn't mention it so I can't fault the team for that. The atmosphere is very cozy with booth seating around the edge of the room and a bar in the center with an open kitchen in the back. There's also seating outside if you prefer something a little quieter. At $120 per person it's a bit too much for me to consider eating regularly, but for the experience I think it's definitely worth at least one visit. My SO and I are considering it for our special occasion spot.

Year after year, Jeune et Jolie demonstrates what modern French cuisine can achieve with craft, care, and passion. The kitchen team skillfully blends traditional techniques (which they do really well) with Californian inspirations to carve their place on the southern coast and in my heart. A shoutout to their au jus, get anything with that and you would be blown away! The front-of-house team has great attention to detail and extensive knowledge of and beyond the menu. They also have a fine collection of wines and a short but delicious cocktail menu. Highly recommend trying this place, you will love it here.

Gavin, Harold and Siena provided a most wonderful dining experience. The Automne desert paired with the Caramel du Buerre is one of the most amazing experiences ever.

Not michelin worthy imo. Overall I am underwhelmed and bored.
service was fantastic.

plateau de fruits de mar - good quality ingredients but not the best. skip.

pain et beirre - good bread. can skip. the butter was great though.

gougere - skip

crudo - tiny, 4 scallop pieces, good mild flavor

leek veggie - okay. putting truffle on stuff doesnt make it good.

We had a lovely dinner at Jeune et Jolie and would definitely recommend it. If you’re looking for high-end French dining, you’ve come to the right place. We had the tasting menu and paired it with what they call the “Goldie Locks,” which was a mix of wine pairings and specialty house mocktails. Portions are smaller but pleasant, and we left feeling comfortable. I recommend this spot for those seeking ambiance and a high level of service while enjoying delectable bites.

No words lol. I'm probably not going to eat anything for a week or two after eating at Jeune et Jolie.

Amazing experience—outstanding food, friendly and knowledgeable servers, and a romantic outdoor ambiance. Perfect for a special occasion or date night.

After a fabulous experience at nearby sister restaurant Campfire, we had high expectations for our anniversary dinner here. Juene et Jolie didn't quite match up with the culinary experience we anticipated. The prix fixe menu offered several creative choices for each course. The portions were tasting size, beautifully plated, and lovely looking, yet none of our choices really stood out as deliciously memorable. The service was very attentive and gracious and the staff made us feel very welcome for our celebratory dinner. We had brought a special bottle of wine for our anniversary, but were shocked at the excessive corkage fee. Overall, it was a very pleasant, yet pricey experience.

The service was amazing start to finish. Multiple staff assisted in making sure we were always satisfied. The food was excellent and what we expected based on the reviews. My wife has gluten sensitivity and they were very accommodating. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience and look forward to dining here again.

Great service very attentive. Food was very good as well! Cute restaurant through and through

We celebrated our 25th anniversary and Tommy and his team were absolutely spectacular. We sat outside with the heat lamp and the ambience was incredible— as we felt like we had our own table separate from the restaurant. We started off with a nonalcoholic Beaujolais from France, which was very special. Enjoyed our four course meal and I got to try something different with the second course of pigeon. Spectacular. Can't think of another place we would've gone to.
