Best Continental Restaurants in Poway / Rancho Bernardo

First time dining in here and every item we ordered was AMAZING. Each item was such a huge portion, making the price much more worth it. Very great quality food. Inside is super cute and relaxing.

The meal was wonderful. Don’t miss the deviled egg appetizer. The lobster salads were great, as was the duck confit and Dover sole. The interior is warm and inviting.

The service was great. The food was fantastic!The manager was very accommodating. I had asked for a table for 4 outside with my reservation. No small tables were available outside because of the many large party reservations. I did not want to sit inside because we came for the music. They opened the doors for us and fed the music in through the speakers. I truly appreciate the management for their solution. My aunt and uncle were visiting from South Dakota and I wanted them to enjoy the food but also wanted them to experience the great band playing.

What a find in the middle of Rancho Santa Fe! All the decorative lights on, quaint wood framed windows, protected patio out front- we chose a corner table inside, cozy crates of wine and poinsettias piled around, soft conversations from the tables, the gentle maîtred, the comforting waitress. What an ambiance. The Norwegian salmon and New York steak were special. Extensive wine menu. We loved the experience !

This was our first time dinning at Collette’s. The food was delicious. We had the scallops and the steelhead trout. All the food tasted wonderfully fresh and was creatively prepared. Annie and all the staff were attentive and pleasant.
