Food and service were AMAZING!! Our waitress was super sweet and friendly. Presentation was immaculate. Definitely not a place I can afford to go too often, but it’s worth the splurge once in a while. Can’t wait to go back.

Friendly, accommodating staff from host to waiter. It was theatre night so it was very busy but everyone made sure we didn’t miss our show. The food was delicious and great ambiance. Highly recommended and will go back.

Love the food, service, location, and ambiance! I prefer the indoor seating as the outdoor is literally on the street, but to each their own!

I wish there were 10 stars. The food was delicious. Beet salad starter was great. The crudo was the best rendition of crudo we have had. Presentation was also exquisite. Both pasta dishes for entrees were perfectly executed. Taste, portions, all spot on. Sommelier suggested a Bourdeaux in a very reasonable price range that was phenomenal. Chef Travis has created something very special. The culture within the staff is very positive, joyous, informed, and the team worked together like an orchestra. Don’t miss Fleurette. I’ll dine here every trip to San Diego. Food, environment, service - all 10 stars.
