    Delicious as always. Wish you brought the doughnuts out first and not with all the food.

    Jasmine was amazing! It was Father’s Day so the restaurant was packed, she made us feel like we were her only table and there was no rush. Little did she know, that my sister and I (who are both in the restaurant business- which means we can’t help but judge every restaurant) were there to have our first Father’s Day after losing our Dad. We were both sad and sensitive, Jasmine created a dining experience that shined a positive light on a day we weren’t excited to celebrate. Thanks Jasmine!

    Very mediocre food, vastly overpriced. Management has very lousy attitude. I’ll never frequent here again. The fact that they had a table free on short notice for dinner on a Saturday should have been a red flag. Wish I’d took notice of to the signs.

    I’m just blown away…everything was exquisite. I eat out all the time and fancy myself a bit of a foodie and let me tell you, it’s seriously the best meal I’ve had in 3 years of living in San Diego. I plan to go back often and eat everything on that menu. I’m beyond impressed!

    Best breakfast/brunch in San Diego... Great service with menu options to suit any tastes. They're famous for their maple bacon doughnuts, but I prefer the beignets. Only downside: It can get a bit noisy, especially if you're seated in the middle of the inside dining area (due to the acoustics of the vaulted ceiling)... If you want a quieter experience, ask for a booth, or take one of their outdoor tables (weather-permitting).
