What an extreme disappointment. I made reservations for Mother's Day for myself and my daughter, it was my last Mother's Day with a child living at home and I decided to splurge. As soon as we arrived, I noticed all the food sitting outside on a 90 degree day and I was a little shocked. I was even more shocked when I realized a portion of it was seafood, including raw fish! We were seated inside in a banquet room with little to no ambience, although I was grateful for the AC. We waited to be greeted and put our drink order in but no one ever came to the table. When I eventually flagged someone down, she was very annoyed and asked me if I wanted a mimosa. When I mentioned I don't drink, she said she could get me a Martinelleli's but all other drinks I could get myself at the bar. I was a bit taken aback especially considering the cost of the brunch ($135/person plus tax and automatic gratuity for a total of $350). I proceeded to attempt to enjoy waiting on myself, a little ironic given it being a Mother's Day Brunch. The food was OK, but lots of things missing or old and anything with bread involved was as hard as a rock. Again, the temperature outside was in the 90's so eating food that had been sitting in the sun for hours wasn't high on my list. Once I got a plate, I proceeded to the bar and waited in a line to order a virgin bloody mary and a Shirley temple. When I asked for an olve/lime garnish as I had just seen placed on a bloody mary for a SERVER, I was told I could grab it myself. The only time I saw our waiter was to give me the $350 bill at the end with a $50 auto gratuity and make sure I paid. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Apparently there was a dessert bar somewhere in another building, we were never told about it or instructed how to get to it. I am blown away at the audacity of RB Inn to charge insane amounts of money to wait on yourself on Mother's Day in the conditions noted. Shame on you, we will never be back.

Let me start by saying we made reservations 2-3 weeks in advance for the Mother’s Day Brunch.. We arrived and were very disappointed to be seated outside. I immediately asked the hostess and she said large tables only inside so I dropped it. We were only a party of 3 but it included my 87 year old mother. It was almost 88 degrees and we were very uncomfortable. I walked inside on my way back to our table from the buffet and saw that in fact there were smaller tables inside and they had live music and of course air conditioning! I watched as table after table was sat outside, complained and many others were accommodated inside. The food was very good and our waiters were wonderful but overall we were robbed of a pleasant dining experience by being seated outside. I am upset with myself that I didn’t make a stink so that my party would be moved too. At a place like RB Inn you shouldn’t have to make a stink to be accommodated.

Overall, the evening was fun. The food and service was very good. Unfortunately the food tables were outside and it was cold. The doors remained open for access to the food which made it uncomfortable inside for tables near the doors. The band was mediocre but we made the best of it. We are regular customers of RBI and we were expecting better. Maybe our expectations were to high.

Was surprised they had no omelet station or eggs benedict. I heard several other people asking for them also. Seeing that the brunch started at 10AM you would have thought they would have an omlet station or some kind of eggs.

The Rancho Bernardo Inn has extensive, beautiful grounds. The Christmas brunch was a gorgeous spread with many delicious offerings. The open bar flowed freely. Brunch for 6 people cost $1047.
