    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).

    A different type of excellent experience. We usually come here for brunch, which is so popular, it's difficult to snag a reservation. We opted for dinner for the first time and it was phenomenal! Thoughtful service (kids were tended to first so no hangry kids!) and excellent meals (dinners all perfectly cooked) made the night very memorable. Thank you Great Maple!
