Really cute French country decor and staff vibe was great. Food was locally sourced, cooked with so much flavor, simple, fresh, creative and really well done. We will definitely go back!

The exceptional quality of the food and service made for a truly memorable dining experience. The owner's warm hospitality and dedication to her guests' satisfaction were inspiring. Kasey's outstanding service exemplified the high standards of the establishment. His attentive and knowledgeable support ensured that our needs were consistently met, and his expert recommendations added to our enjoyment. The seamless execution of our dining experience was a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, and we are looking forward to our next visit. Amazing experience.

Service was excellent. Good wine selection however if you want just a glass it was limited. I ordered the eggplant steak and would order it again. My wife had the pork chop and was reluctant to share it with me because it was so good. Have the brussel sprout horderves they were great.
Jim
This is arguably the best restaurant in Escondido and perhaps North County. True farm to table, excellent preparation and delicious food. Do yourself a favor and eat here soon.
Marc
The meat and gravy were very salty. Unfortunately the meal was too salty to eat.' The service and drinks were very good.
Tina
A culinary gem in Escondido! Not cheap but worth it - the asparagus beet salad is beautiful and delicious. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend!
Terry
Superb. Out server was a pleasure...friendly, attentive, and had a command of the menu and wine list. The seafood linguine, new to the menu was great. The shrimp were huge and the sauce just right. The double boned pork chop was delicious. Minor comment: the mixed drink was a bit skimpy so I went to the extensive wine menu.
Absolutely amazing experience! Food was incredible and so was the service. 10/10 recommended!
Opentable Diner
Great restaurant with amazing food. Super quaint and felt like boutique hotel bar/restaurant.

I was hoping to fall in love. . Esco has zero good restaurants. I mean absolutely zero. Some thoughts about Collette's/ Hunsakers- Please season the food more, very bland. And very expensive for what you get. May I suggest baby carrots with the filet instead of sliced horse carrots. Food was average at best, service a bit better, and we were one of two tables dining, so ambiance was questionable. Lose the chargers and napkin rings. Again, was hoping this would be our spot in Esco, but it missed.
Kate
Everything we ordered was unique but very accessible and very delicious. Love that they use produce from local farms. Pricier than a lot of restaurants so we won't be going as often as we'd like, but we will definitely return.

Everything from service to food was excellent. Collette's is a great addition to Grand Ave.
