Thanks to Pamplemousse for an excellent Thanksgiving dinner. The food was wonderful--not just the entrees, but the accompaniments and all the details. And the waiter made very good wine recommendations. more

Not what I expected in terms of atmosphere. Food was good but not "out of this world". LOCATION It is easy to get to off the I-5 in a condo/office building. Atmosphere is OK, we had table along back wall. FOOD The crab/tuna sashimi starter was very good. NY Strip Steak was burnt even though ordered medium. Steak cut was... more

I've been here twice in the past year, and it's great. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The wine list is outstanding, too. It's pricey, but in it's category, it's not overpriced. more

Some of the best food in North County. The $50 grilled cheese is one of the greatest things I have ever eaten. Lobster in truffle oil and gruyere cheese. Ridiculous! more

Wow, for an evening to celebrate, this was an excellent choice. The name struck us as hysterical, of course, we were thinking "moose" until we drove up and saw the marquis. Then, we assumed that this French fusion locale with murals of geese everywhere was named after some type of foie gras. Clearly, we were hungry to the point of... more

I dined at the Pamplemousse Grille in March 2009. I selected this restaurant because of its Zagat rating and proximity to my hotel. I made a reservation. It was early, and when I arrived there were few cars in the parking lot, so I was a little worried. The hostess gave me the choice of seats -- I didn't have... more

We have been several times to this restaurant because of the high quality of the food, but I am wondering that it might be possible that the chef/owner would be wise to pay more attention to the staff out front as his front desk tends to be a bit snooty, and not at all competent. After being the first to... more

We went to Pamplemousse after hearing about it from several people, and we were not disappointed. This definitely ranks as one of the best meals I have ever had. The service was impeccable. It is very pricey, but, it was worth every penny! The gnocchi appetizer with truffles was maybe the best thing I have ever eaten. For a splurge,... more
