I had breakfast and dinner here with my sister. If you go for breakfast, make it a weekend so you can enjoy a morning bun as a finisher. We stopped by to look at their dinner menu after a day at the park. They told us they were just finishing it up. I knew then that we had to have... More

We live just down the block from Cafe Chloe and visit most Sundays for their fantastic brunch. Breakfast is normally served from around 8am - 3pm ish. The menu is great and the service is always up to standard. Would be a great place to take anyone for a sunday brunch. The outdoor seating area is a little small, so... More

The setting is so dear, and the food was perfection. Great french style menu items. You have to visit more than once, the menu is that good!

A wonderful small space filled with tables spaced to give all guests a feeling of being the only tables there. The menu offered petite plates , entrees and dessert. THe French classics were thoughtfully prepared. I enjoyed the braised lamb with turnips, greens, carrots,sugar peas and tarragon. Excellent! My granddaughter had the salmon with crispy dill potatoes and meyer lemon... More

Really nice atmosphere and pleasant wait staff. The mussels are great, everything is really fresh and inspired. I can only speak to what I got, and I get the impression that everything is good, but I also had a great lemonade.

This is the perfect cozy date night dinner place. They have a cute, small balcony and if it's chilly, they have overhead heat lamps. Start with the fromage plate. They change their cheeses out daily. The cheeses are from Venissimo which is a 1/2 block down. Menus change regularly, but thankfully they do keep a few faves including the mac... More

Was looking for nice weekday brunch place with girlfriends. Food was less than good. Coffee was rather blasé. Service was okay, but towards the end of our visit it was clear they were fed up. Oh yes, do not attempt to bring your well behaved 2 year old into the place. Our stroller was treated like an object of scorn.... More

I really enjoy Cafe Chloe, and if my better half liked French - would probably eat here more frequently. I especially love their lemon sorbet champagne cocktail on a hot summer day. I have never ordered a meal here that I disliked.

The food was delicious and we were a group of 6 seated at a round table in a separate area of the restaurant. Everything was great until it came time for the bill. The server insisted that she could not provide separate checks and it was a nightmare when trying to determine the cost of the meal, tip, and tax.

Adorable french cafe at what feels like the edge of the gaslamp district in San Diego. This is a good thing because gaslamp is hectic and this location suddenly feels like a neighborhood gem...all the difference two blocks can make. When we visited, we had the extreme fortune to take advantage of a restaurant week 3-course prix fix menu. We... More
