Hunsaker's - Escondido

Found this place during restaurant week, but will definitely return for their regular menu as our dishes were delicious. All ingredients are fresh and seasonal from the local farmer's market. Filet and lamb were cooked perfectly. French onion soup and tartar were great appetizers, and the dessert options were delicious (especially the apple trio for the Fall). The staff was nice and attentive, checking on us and refilling water, and gave great recommendations on food and wine pairings, including a port with dessert. Overall amazing experience for a special night out and a treat to find this place!

We visited the Sunday Dinner Club. The courses were amazing, the portions more than generous, and the restaurant was comfortable cozy without getting cramped. The service was something on the slow side between the courses, but delivery and presentation. We were also entertained by a personable magician between courses. When you visit, you will save much space for the desserts that are the fireworks at the end of the evening. Very recommended.

We love to visit this place! The higher prices are easy to justify with the uniqueness and quality of each meal. Everything is timeless and made from scratch. We often come back because the cook has a new menu every month and the service is friendly. Thank you so much for being such a great place for our monthly day night routine.

That was all. We're still on Cloud 9! It's a long time since I enjoyed a cocktail menu, appetizer, main and desert as much as we do. The food was fantastic. Creative and well maintained, but not overhauled and too far away. The meats were prepared from cut to cooking until plating. The deserts were state of the art, and I could easily agree to go back to JUST to get by the menu selection alone. The ambience here is incredible. You really don't feel like you're in CA... maybe like Oldtown NE? It's beautiful and unique! The best part was the service. The owner had seat and table covers all night. The staff was fun, well trained and knew everything you need to know about the menu or the beverage list. Seriously, I went over an hour to meet friends in this place I had found while I was looking for good food in halfway. I'll go back, no problem?

Everything was great! We started eating early and spent about 2.5 hours enjoying our meal / drinks with good company. Will be back to try other items on the menu.
