Service was fantastic overall. Appetizers were also great. Our go to of the beef dip was as good as always. However, the new dish of risotto with peas and trumpet mushrooms was terrible, the trumpet mushrooms were totally inedible and rubbery. I mentioned this to the server expecting it would be taken off the bill, but that was not offered. I chalk this failure up to management.

Portobello mushroom fries was a novelty to us and we liked their crispiness. Sauce was good. It's filling as a starter. The Cesar salad was not remarkable but a nice generous portion. Our dinner was special because of the three season tasting plates: gnocchi with mushrooms, blueberry jus duck on polenta, and albacore aguachil (?). Oh, they were specially enjoyable.

To celebrate graduation we went to have brunch. We had reservations for inside but were told we would be seated immediately outside. The food was great! Highly recommend the maple bacon donuts and the calamari. Outside seating was a bit noisy but lots of people brought their cute puppies so that made it nice.

Obscene prices, even for San Diego. The coffee was 6.50$, even at a luxury cafe that’s not price competitive for a slightly above average cup. In term of the food, I ate the English Popover, their take on eggs Benedict. 1/3 of the dish was a poor tasting fried piece of bread. Another third was a “salad” of lightly cooked spinach. For 20$ there are many better dishes at other brunch places in San Diego. Hard pass, spend your money better somewhere else.
