Jolie in Huntington Beach is an absolute gem! The view is stunning, especially during sunset—such a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. We were lucky to make it in time for happy hour, and the food did not disappoint—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our server was fantastic, taking the time to walk us through the menu and offer recommendations that turned out to be spot on. The combination of great service, delicious food, and breathtaking views makes Jolie a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!
