    Polenta was really delicious, but other plates just tasted plain to me. The espresso drinks are incredibly sour and not taken seriously to have that sweet taste from espressos. Inside and outside seating is very crowded. Overall, okay but does not live up to the hype.

    Food and drinks are always great. Tried the vegan hash for the first time and it was incredibly flavorful and a beautiful dish. The guys had the brisket hash and French toast logs. Always a hearty, delicious choice! Parking can always be a challenge so give yourselves an extra ten minutes to find street parking. And highly recommend a reservation to avoid wait times for a table.

    Food was burnt, oil used was dirty, potatoes were black and some hard as a rock, pork belly was dry and overcooked, food was way overpriced.

    Unusual brunch selection. I had Provence Stuffed Squash Blossom Hash. Delish! Husband had egg and chorizo sausage hash served in a cute baking tin. Will return just to order from the many different option.

    From the time I walked in to the time I left, this restaurant felt like one big hug! The tables are pretty close but not in your personal space. It’s cozy… but let me tell you about the food and service - OUTSTANDING! I ordered the mimosa flight and it was great (my favorite was the Smokey Pineapple and Strawberry Lemonade). My main selection was the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and truffle fries with a side of ranch and garlic aioli (trust me on this). First of all - the sandwich is huge like 4 stories high lol. But the flavor was what gripped me the most… the chicken was tender and the toppings were all fresh!! Then I got to the famous Maple Bacon Doughnuts - OMG! They were served warm and huge and they come in an order of 3. This restaurant doesn’t play around with flavor or portions. If I lived in San Diego, I would be here 3-4 days a week - not kidding! Oh and my amazing server Sam was quick, attentive, and so warm! She’s amazing!!! Thank you Great Maple for an outstanding, one of a kind dining experience! Chef’s kiss! 😘
