    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! 😘

    A bit crowded and loud, food was okay. Went for the bacon donut, we’ve had better.

    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!
