Super tasty! Went for brunch with a group and everyone loved their meal. The place was packed so strongly recommend reservations. Many of the menu items can be made gluten free including the benedicts and the French toast. Beware of cross contamination with things like potatoes, however.

Everything was great - the food was delicious, ambience beautiful, wait staff was attentive and helpful and very friendly. Only complaint is I wish restaurants didn’t have to pound out music - even if you like their taste, it ruins conversation. (Yeah, I’m old!)

I recently visited The Vibe for a Sunday brunch date. The restaurant serves brunch-style dishes and had been on my list due to all the buzz around it. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a clean environment and stylish decor. That said, the noise level was louder than expected, and the seating felt a bit cramped. Service-wise, it was a mixed bag. The staff was friendly and professional enough, though not especially attentive. However, the food came out quickly, which was a plus. We ordered the AM Asada and the Bacon Benedict along with the Déjà Vu and Aloha coffees. The food had flavors similar to popular brunch spots like Breakfast Republic or Broken Yolk—decent but nothing memorable. Presentation was excellent, portions were filling, and the food seemed fresh overall, though the bread on one of the dishes was so hard it was difficult to cut. We spent about $80, which is pretty typical for brunch in San Diego. While the price matched the setting, I didn’t find anything that really stood out or justified the hype. I probably wouldn’t return, but I’d recommend The Vibe to anyone who values a fun atmosphere, friendly vibes, and Instagram-worthy plating over standout flavors.

The food and service was great. I went in Mother’s Day so I was expecting to wait a long time for everything but we actually got served at a very reasonable time and our food came out relatively fast. It seems they have a very good system going along with Great food! Margaritas and mimosas are a must!

Food was okay, service was bad. Had to flag down waiter for water, never got a coffee refill, and had to flag him down again to get the bill. We were there first thing in the morning, the place was not busy yet but the waiter seemed to be responsible for too many tables.

Not a good place for seniors or anyone with hearing issues. Food was good and priced reasonably. Service was great. Bathrooms clean but boring

Food was delicious! We made a reservation at 10:15am & were seated right away. We ordered the mimosa pitcher (passion fruit- a must) it will run you $50 for about 4 glasses. We ordered the birria Benedict and the benni burrito, both heavenly. The only thing I would change would be the service, our server wasn’t too approachable, aside from that we would come back for the food!
