Fun atmosphere. Music was mixed and generally good brunch.. a couple were a bit louder - more suited for a football game. Had a hard time choosing between 3 great sounding dishes. The lobster omelette did not disappoint. Need to return with someone to try the other 2 top picks.

TL:DR There is a wait to get on the wait list. However it is an amazing event dining experience!We got in line around 0930 on a holiday Monday, and it was an hour and a half for a party of three. By the time we got seated the wait had gone up to three and a half hours for people joining the queue.With that out of the way, the staff were all very friendly and understanding. The interior is a wonderful art deco/Hollywood regency blend with some zany details (like a massive animated eye) that works very well for the space. It is a much larger space than is to be expected from looking in.The menu is full of fun descriptions of the delicious food. Along with a very nice list of custom cocktails.We ordered the Baked Blueberry Skillet Pancake with both of the Lord Tip toppings, with drip coffee and the Morning Wood Old Fashioned. The pancake was huge, definitely take a to go box. (Think more cake than pan, with blueberries throughout.) Excellent overall.Fried Chicken and Waffles with a virgin Bellini, the fried chicken was a beautiful golden brown and tender and juicy. On top of lovely light crunchy golden waffles, all topped with perfectly done scrambled eggs.The Very Frenchie French Toast paired with a Morning Glory Spritz and drip coffee. There was a nice lemon flavor in every bite, without being overpowering in flavor.

🥇New favorite breakfast spot is @pancakelordssd too bad it’s all the way in San Diego… The pancakes were so good, I had to have 2 portions and the thick cut bacon was so tasty too. These thick fluffy pancakes fly to the top of my breakfast list easily.

The decor & music is the reason to come here alone! the food is amazing! we were able to get the breakfast fried rice before it sold out, and the khachapuri was my favorite dish!

LOVED this spot. Huge menu and everything is delicious. Service was super efficient and staff was very friendly. This place always has a massive line and they do not take reservations. If you want to enjoy some breakfast here, arrive early. The line does move quickly, but the early bird gets the worm for sure.

Fabulous breakfast! Well worth the 30 minute wait. We got souffle pancakes, American breakfast, and Breakfast fried rice. Everything was fantastic. The service is first class and friendly and the decor is unique. Highly recommend.

Update!I have been wanting to try Morning Glory for awhile, but never had the patience to wait for 2-3.5 hours. Today, we planned it out.Started in line at 8:10 am, 35 minute wait to put name on list. Received text at 10:09 am table for 2 was ready.We ordered the souffle pancakes, side of crispy hashed potatoes, and a Belgian waffle with side of sausage and 1 orange juice. When you order the souffle pancakes your server will give you a warning. They are made in batches so you may get your order in 5 minutes up to 35 minutes. I think today it was 25, and the only bad thing about this specific dish is that your other guests food will arrive after.Good service, just too much of a wait. My souffle pancakes were ok, but the bottom one was flattened making it kind of a smashed pancake. Nothing special about this $56 breakfast. Go for the ambiance, vibe and loud music. Dont go if your impatient and expect exceptional food. As the food is just forgettable.

TL;DR-get there early, everything is great. Its totally worth waking up a little early!We arrived at 0800 on a Sunday, and the line was from the stairs thru the courtyard and into the street. Once open, the line moved at a good pace. We waited about 20 or so minutes to talk to the hostess who took our phone number and quoted us about 10 mins. So all & all we only waited about 30 mins for our table. But by the time we sat down, the hostess was already quoting a 2 hour wait and there is no open seating at the bar.The drinks were great the food was excellent and they have gluten free toast. I had a chorizo scramble and my partner got the chicken and waffles. We were both raving about our breakfast all day. It was so good.Im so glad we got there when they opened because last time we were unprepared for a 3 hour wait and ended up eating at the restaurant downstairs and it was very bad. Whatever you do, dont resort to farmers table.

My hubby and I were visiting San Diego for a few hours before heading to Mexico and this was on our must try spot. The wait was ridiculous, we opted to wait 2+ hours. The ambiance was cool. I loved the decor and the servers uniform and vibe. Everyone was friendly and staff was very attentive to our need. They have a good selection of drinks. Personally I was not impress by my drink. Food was “eh”. I had the veggie scramble and the husband had the salmon Benedict. I wish we would have visit the restaurant below. Hubby’s review is “it’s a place to be seen not to eat”.

This place is amazing. The food, the drinks, and the staff are the best! It was a long wait, but Savannah and the rest of the lovely people behind the bar made our visit a stand out. If you can sit at the bar do it, and above all else BE NICE TO THE STAFF.

Love this place! The atmosphere and decor wasSo fun and lively! Food was very good too! Enjoyed the Veggie Scramble and sampled the soufflé pancakes. Yum!! There’s usually a long line to get in so recommend to arrive early to enjoy first seating when opening. 😋 🌺

Good food, a little pricey, two restrooms that are always busy 🤔 overall good. The only thing I didnt like is the music, I mean they played music with a bunch of bad words ( theres a lot of kids in this place) and I dont mean small words 😏 waiter was amazing, always checking on us. Always a ➕

Well worth the 1 hour wait. Food came super fast, staff attentive and fun! Will definitely go back :)

Every little girls dream. Literally this place is an instagram Prom QWEENs heaven.

Electrifying decor and ambiance. This place is a whole vibe. Service was excellent. (Thank you Kasha) Order the café de olla coffee cocktail and thank me later 🙌 lobster omelette was generous on the lobster but flavor was pretty mild - I would ask for hot sauce or order something else next time. The salad it came with was on point. The potato cakes are perfection. Love love this place - put it on your list.

Food were great the only reason for 3 stars is the 3 hour wait time for 2 person.

Super Fun and tastey place to eat! Long waits, but we were lucky to get a spot fairly quick! 🙏🏼 but definitely worth it if we had to wait a little bit. Friendly and helpful staff, crazy and artsy decor that compliments there food very well. Definitely a must visit spot.

The food was great and the customer service was good. I had the Indian breakfast. The chicken was a little too crunchy for me but really tasty. The best thing about the restaurant was the architecture and furnishings. I would not recommend going here if your with a family who doesnt listen to music with profanity. But 5/5 Stars, it was a one of a kind experience.

Oh My God(read like Janice🤣)I’ve been here for their very popular soufflé pancake and Irish coffee. Pancake was the best, seriously the best. My hot Irish coffee was good but the alcohol was super strong, specially for breakfast haha. Also a little pricy. But it absolutely worth it. The place is incredibly beautiful and unique. I will definitely go back, and i also highly recommend you to try this place.

This place is overflowing with a great atmosphere and artful presentation. However, flavor is nowhere to be found (I ordered the savory German pancake). Skip the line and get better food from one of the neighboring businesses, even if that means missing out on the instagram posts. If you decide to eat here, be sure to ask for some salt.

The wait for this place is ridiculous! All 4 times I visited, there was a 2hr+ wait on weekdays! The 1st 3 times I chose not to wait and went to another breakfast place. The 4th time was a charm! We chose to wait the 2hrs. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT! This place is a great experience overall. I will probably never go again because of the wait time but this place is as good as advertised! This may seem like I’m complaining but I’m not, I love your food and experience. Great customer service, informative and prompt service.

Went to this place after seeing it on the SDBucketlist Instagram page during our visit to San Diego, and I’m glad we did. Be prepared to wait at least 2-3 hours after you put down your name but the food and drinks are absolutely worth the wait. The ambience was fun and the food & drinks were very delicious, specially the cocktails, pretty interesting menu. Would definitely recommend for brunch.

Super cute, high energy vibes. Staff is awesome. Matcha was a bit sweet. Great indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is upstairs.

The setting is stunning, and the ambiance is everything!! When it came to decorating, they took their time. From the two different experiences Ive had, the staff is mostly friendly, with the exception of the host, who isnt all that enthusiastic. I recommend going if you have the opportunity, but expect to wait at least an hour for a table. If possible, arrive an hour early, write your name down, and then return. The only time there wasnt a long line was an hour before they closed. The food is adequate but not spectacular. The drinks are always delicious, and the bartenders are experts in their field.

The idea and atmosphere here is awesome! The decor is unique and I felt like I was always seeing something cool to look at it. The food also amazing! I got the Souffle pancakes and my boyfriend got the carbonara. Both were super good!The downside, it is a very long wait to get it. We got in line at 750am, waited 20 minutes just to put our name on the list. Waited another 15 minutes to get seated. We didnt get our food until 1 hour after we were seated.It was a great place to check out, and Im glad I did. Not sure if I would go out of my way to again, though!

Unique decor. Varied eclectic menu. Excellent service. An elevator is available to take you to the restaurant.

The 1 1/2 hour wait was worth it! The French toast delighted my palate with a hint of lemon curd. The morning glory fried rice reminded me of one of my Hawaiian favorites the Moco Loco. The only knock I had was that my egg on the fried rice could have been warmer.

So delicious and worth the wait. No reservations. 1st come 1st to sit down. Sometimes they have to turn you away after 1pm. No more service. Gorgeous bathroom too! Loved the music an the employees! Parking is hard to find. Come early

Absolutely fantastic breakfast experience. Get in line early and plan to wait for a seat. The vibe is off the charts, but the menu doesnt rely on the ambiance to do all the heavy lifting. We tried the kachapuri, souffle pancakes, and breakfast fried rice and all were exceptional. Dont sleep on the cocktails, as the good people making your drinks really know their stuff.

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. This place is true to its name, the ambiance just lifts up your mood first thing in the morning. There is always a line to get in but it moved fairly quickly. I strongly recommend this place for breakfast

FOOD, DRINKS, SERVICE. Top notch.Of course the souffle pancakes were a massive hit and a must get. The fried rice was huge and so fresh and filling. Oh, you want to know about drinks? Im a little cheep and dont always like to get drinks but man, I sure am glad I did. They were such a great addition and could have just stood by themselves here. I cant express how tastey everything was.What put Morning Glory over the top for me was the service. Even in the midst of a busy day we felt attended to and got quick service. They read our minds on a few occasions of what we needed before we new we did.Very kind and fun as well. My thanks go out to the amazing staff. You all rocked my socks off!!!

If you dont mind a very (over 1 hour) long wait and possibly sitting in the direct sun for some pretty good but not amazing food, bon appetit.

This place was amazing! The food was delicious and did not disappoint. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

YES YES YES!Worth the wait. We were there on Monday morning around 10am and had to wait around 30 minutes. I absolutely LOVED the atmosphere of this place! Our order included: Frenchie French Toast, Steak and Eggs (with Wagyu) and their London Fog tea.The French Toast came with a generous amount of fruit and a lemon curd that had lemon zest. The butter was great. It makes me wonder if they make their own butter. My husband thought the steak and eggs were okay. Hes never had Wagyu beef before, but said it didnt seem anything special, although it was cooked very well. We both ordered a London Fog because it was perfect.The only issue we had was that when trying to get our name on the waitlist, we had to stand in line on very narrow stairs. I think they would benefit from moving in the host station to the bottom of the stairs.

The wait was the worst part, approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. The eggs Benedict were really good, but the star of the menu was definitely the souffle pancake, i would come back just for that. It was amazing, order it with fruit. No regrets there.

They’ve been on my breakfast mind for a long time and so glad I finally made it! Even on a Tue morning, the place had a line going at 8:30 am. We had to wait 30 min to get seated. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. One of the best chicken and waffles I’ve had in SD! That’s saying a lot. Perfect amount of sweet and savory in each bite. Our waiter shared with us how they partner with other establishments to bring in the steak from Born and Raised and Lobster from Ironside. Love how they support each other and loved my first morning glory. Can’t wait for the second!

Wish I had realized this place was a rooftop restaurant sooner than I did! Ate here for Sunday morning brunch my last day in town and it was one of the most amazing meals ever!! Enjoyed a hibiscus mimosa that was heavenly!!! The meal itself was the waffle with eggs and bacon-- the waffle was divine!!! Get in line 30-45 minutes before it opens- Trust me its crowded and the line gets long for a good reason, the food and drinks are great ---well worth it!! This is where you want to be for brunch or nighttime dining. The decor is mind blowing!!!

Incredible decor, tasty food and great service!

Such a cute place. Staff is nice. Wait is long. 2.5 hours. That’s ok. I’m ok with the wait. Music is bumping. You can’t lose with Aaliyah playing in the background. Food was ok. My bacon was on the dry side the French toast was ok. I didn’t like the lemon. To be honest the best French toast I’ve had is at Perch LA. I love French toast and can be critical. Lol. The waffles were decent. The Bellinis were amazing! Give it a try. I’ll try something new next time.

Great Staff, Music, Ambiance!!! The rice is not my favorite thing but I like bean sprouts in my rice so its based on your preference. There is a wait so be patient. Im glad I went though. ❤❤❤❤❤

Long waits but worth it. Planning on putting your name in 2-3 hours in advance. Crazy vibe in the best way, with amazing music and high energy. Delicious food. Huge menu. The closest to a club I’ve been to with nice outdoor air and chill vibes. Add the chicken sausage to the chicken and waffles if you order it!

Omg so freaking yummy. I have to come back because there were so many things on the menu I would try!I usually am very picky with my food and it’s an easy choice when it comes to ordering but holy cow I wanted everything on this menu haha.Such a beautiful cool place, absolute must go.

This place is amazing. Such a trippy place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with unique menu items including drinks and food. Menu pics attached. The environment is surreal, from a giant ever-present eyeball to the chic seating and tables to the giant door you walk thru to dine. Add fast and friendly service from the hostess to the wait staff, and youve got a one-of-a-kind dining experience on your hands. Id give more stars if I could. Such a wonderful place. We arrived at 7:30am on a Friday, 30 minutes before opening, and were 12th in line. Arrive EARLY to experience Morning Glory. Its absolutely worth it!

Went with family for brunch, and we loved everything from the pancakes to the chicken and waffles. The decor is gorgeous and sitting outside was ideal to enjoy the weather! There is a long wait, so either get their early or be prepared to walk around. There are fun shops and farmers markets nearby so it was easy to pass the time.

Get here early!! We got here right when they opened and we waited in a 30 min line and then 45 more minutes on the waitlist. The inside is so cool! The food is hit or miss. The egg sandwich wasn’t that good. But the chilaquiles were really good. Same with the chai latte! The presentation of the egg sandwich was sad but the others looks amazing. The staff was so nice and the place was really clean.

This place looks nice, but the food is not worth the wait or the price. I had the chicken and waffles and you can probably get better fired chicken from KFC, waffles were under cooked, and the servers were not the friendliest. If you want the hipster experience without good food this is your place!!!

Great vibes, Amazing Service, Wonderful People!!! This spot is not only picture-worthy but so so so tasty and flavorful! The decorations are wildddd!! There’s a blinking eye and lots of colorful walls, doors, etc. So fun!I had the American Breakfast which is usually a basic meal. However, the bacon was delicious and thick cut. The hash brown was so tasty. I’ve never tried anything like it before!!We also tried the Chilaquiles!! They were so colorful and tasty. Lots of salsa options as well.The staff here is SO FUN!! They all seem to be having a wonderful time and the environment is amazing. If I lived nearby, this would be one of my go-tos for sure...

After an outstanding brunch here my iPad Pro was stolen (or forgotten and stolen) from our table. The device was immediately turned off according to ‘find my device’…so it isn’t simply lost. We have stopped by the hostess stand and called and left a message. Hoping for assistance in getting it recovered.

Got there pretty late, around 12 pm and added my name onto the waitlist. We had about two hours to kill before we went in. The restaurant itself was very pretty, but I got a seat with no shade on a hot day. Our total came out to be about $50 for two plates. I got the soufflé pancakes and payed extra for the fruit, they were actually pretty good, nothing too crazy. And an lobster omelette, the omelette with the lobster part was so good, but the lettuce on the side was questionable. Overall a cute restaurant, but would probably settle for another similar cafe or restaurant.

They are always busy here, I suggest going early and on a weekday if possible! We had a table of 4 and it was only 15 minutes on a Thursday which was very reasonable. I really like how interesting their menu is, I could come back many times and not be bored. I decided to try the souffle pancakes which were very delicious and fluffy. Everything I saw looks really good. The katsu benedict with added roe that my friend ordered is a must try for me next time.

Ambiance, food, service, experience; Its all a 10. Get there early and prepare to wait. Its worth it.

The place got nice vibe, and good dishes .Highly recommended

One of the best breakfast experiences I’ve ever had. My wife and I visited San Diego for a few days and tried this place. We went on a Monday and still had to wait about 45 minutes for a table. But it was totally worth it. The food was so rich and tasteful and the orange juice was so fresh. It was not super expensive either. The vibe of this place is top notch. Can not recommend it enough.

Morning Glory is a very trendy and cool place. The staff is incredible, they are super nice. The drinks are loaded and very tasty, the food is great. I can see why the line to get in is always so long. Would recommend for a brunch with friends or a date.

If your looking for you dream come true breakfast spot you’ve found it. From the drinks, to the food, to even the heated toilet seats they thought of it all. Every inch of the place is covered in vintage pale pink vibes and so insta worthy. Ever time I’ve gotten the breakfast cheesy pizza thing with a yolky egg in the middle and it does not disappoint. (Can’t remember the fancy name) I highly recommended getting their specialty latte and their bloody.

Morning glory has bomb food and amazing interior. They don’t take reservations so get there early and expect to wait. We had to wait an hour on Wednesday getting there at 9:20am. But we’ll worth the weight. Love the vibe and music, and especially the food

This place was very cute & Instagram worthy, we showed up at 8:45 am and luckily only had to wait 10 minutes. I think if you show up at 9 or later its about a 1-2 hour wait. The souflet pancakes were super good. Wouldnt recommend chilaquiles and DEFINITELY wouldnt get the vending machine champagne. It was $35 for a mini bottle! That was rediculous. Oh and going to the bathroom is a MUST here. Best bathroom Ive seen in my life.

This is a superb breakfast/brunch restaurant! We had the pork fried rice and soufflé pancakes (a must have!) and I would highly recommend both. They have a long line most mornings (about an hour) but don’t be turned away by that if you have time, because the decor, food, and service are phenomenal! I definitely recommend going.

This is the spot you take to impress your date. I mean really... their aesthetic, their service, their presentation... *chefs kiss*We had the pleasure of dining with Bobbie as our server, who made sure we had all the napkins, sauces, and extras to fulfill our foodie dreams.All of the food was good, but I felt like my chilaquilles did not have enough sauce and the tortillas used were hard, I wish they were more soft. On the brightside, I have discovered I need to chew more... I came to the self-realization when boldly swallowing a tortilla piece felt like I downed a ninja star 🌟The Birria was better than average, but does taste like an Americanized recipe, regardless it hit the spot! The tortillas were so yummy and soft too.Favorite Items:The crispy potato thing I cant remember the name of, but its such a comfort food taste!Fried Rice, tastes like a homemade standard fried rice, take that as you will, there no surprises and you taste the ingredients used :)Items I felt I should have tried:The bread pudding!Soyrizo plate!Next time my friends...

Waited for a little over an hour and a half to be seated. My wife and I were seated at what is possibly the smallest table Ive ever seen... and it was somehow a booth... think of an XL Pizza from dominoes... this table was smaller. After we were finally seated we had to wait another 20 minutes for a waiter to acknowledge us. He was a nice enough person though and seemed very busy. We put in a drink order and then, 10 minutes later, food order. We got our food and had it almost completely finished before I got the orange juice I asked for. The food was ok. I honestly dont think it was worth the price but it wasnt bad. I didnt care for the loud, rambunctious atmosphere they had there but my wife liked their vibe. I think what youre really paying for when you go to this place is a vibe, not food, drinks or customer service. My advice, eat somewhere else that doesnt have you waiting for 2 hours.

Let me tell you something this food is GOOD! Like ok you spect everywhere the food it’s good but when you take a bite, you leveled up like 3 steps! DELICIOUS! 👏👏 I approve and I will return!

Definitely recommend the soufflé pancakes!! Everything here was very delicious and the food came out hot, wonderful environment.

What a treat for breakfast! Loved everything ordered. Worth the 30 minute wait. The staff was amazing. Great ambiance - hip music. We sat in front of the kitchen and saw the team in action. Nothing is hidden here. Everything is made fresh. A must stop.

Very Trendy Cali place to visit!!! They have thought of everything!!! The experience was amazing from start to finish no matter what you ordered... it was special!!

Delicious food. Love this place. Soufflé pancakes are amazing and so unique. Very diverse menu and everything is delicious even for the pickiest eater. The drinks are fantastic as well. All around atmosphere is so fun. Super long wait times so get there early and expect a 2+ hour wait but it will be worth it!

Waited for 1.5 hours, only to be seated at the bar on these tiny stools, when asked for a table, hostess said it will take another 20 min. Service was quick and prompt, server was friendly. Food was not extraordinary, it was just another set of soufflé pancakes and eggs bene. If youre going for the vibe, cocktails and pictures, sure thing. But the food definitely isnt worth the hype or wait.

Food was great, unfortunately our waitress wasnt as helpful. Katelyn decided to take $10 of the $40 in cash that went towards breakfast even after a generous tip of $26 which was more than 15%. I still paid the amount on my card but if a company is going to employ someone who steals, thats a place Im not going to recommend.

What a great place! Super cool, great vibe, very friendly and the food is amazing!!! Everything we ordered was delicious, very rich flavors, unique creations and most importantly super buttery! Recommend making reservations or planning ahead for a bit of a wait, however, the wait is so worth it! Will be planning many visits to this place!

I have eaten here no less than a dozen times and the service is impeccable, the food is amazing.I am had been wanting to go here so I popped up this morning and got there when they opened. I got a really nice spot.Ive had everything on the menu, but my favorite is the souffle pancake, the carbonara and the georgian katchapari, With the smothered hash browns (wow!!)The egg salad sandwich was also soooo good!!Ive had everything on the drink menu at this point but my favorite is orange Julius drink, the hurricane, the italian soda the old fashioned. Everything is always phenomenal. Will be back very soon!

We waited about 2 hours for a table and it was completely worth it. The food was completely delicious and it came out ao fast we were surprised. The kitchen was on it. The servers were amazing we had 2. Jeremy and this other lady i cannot remember her name. They were friendly and attentive. We saw a drink we liked at another table and she smoothly check on them to see what drink it was A+ service. It was first time there and it wont be the last.

You make the experience your own ! Wife wanted to do something special for OUR birthdays (we are 2 weeks apart) so we drove 5 hours to have breakfast. Yes, the line was long and around the corner but as popular as this place is, it was expected! Also, we didn’t drive 5 hours to just go somewhere else. We got there 10 mins before they opened and managed to find plenty of street parking ($1.25 and hour, max 2 hours or you can just purchase another ticket). It was a bargain, really expected to pay garage parking for $20+ It’s pretty crowded because there’s also a farmer’s market going on. My wife stood in line and immediately made friends so it was a great Saturday morning. The line moved pretty fast and from the time we checked in. It was a 10 min wait. Gave us some time to take photos in front of “Little Italy” sign.Eggs Benedict could have been better but Soufflé pancakes make up for it ! My wife had the egg sammich and really enjoyed that.The alcoholic beverages were good but didn’t WOW me. One of them was on the house because it was my actual birthday, so that was pretty cool.Our total was less than $100 (tipped in cash) and we got a coin for the Moët vending machine!Sat at the bar and service was GREAT !

Everything is amazing! The customer service is incredible, made us feel incredibly welcome. We will make sure to come every time we are in town. They know how to treat their employees and it really translates to the guest. All of the food and beverages are amazing! Thank you all for the best service we have had!

Lots of fun great vibe

To be honest, I have been to this place once right after opened. Approximately 2 years ago (July 2019) it wasn’t popular like crazily today. I live in little Italy and I never seen such a long line ever before. What a time consuming people are dealing with. Every single Saturday tons of people are waiting for this place Unbelievable! Aren’t you giving too much credit to this place? I don’t like their coffee taste at all and the food is not even authentic, there is Shakshouka on their menu which is very tasteless and pricey. I see that people only go for taking pictures and posting on Instagram.

I only had drinks here but the staff was really nice and my friends got fries rice and something else that was good. One of those places where you can’t really ever get anything bad. The best part part about this place is the inside aesthetic and the second best part is waiting 2 and a half hours to get in because this place is always packed. I don’t know if the owner will see this but y’all should stay open all day and night. This would be a great place to get a cocktail at night… great vibe. Definitely coming back for more shots.

The Aesthetics of this restaurant is very different and beautiful.*My friend and I shared the souffle pancakes and they were really good!*The hot Mexican mocha was very good too*I order the classic eggs Benedict with avocado. I thought that the avocado would be in slices but I was like guacamole style so I messed up. This altered the taste it wasnt bad but it was just ok.I also order a side of potato hash browns that was very good*My friend ordered the chilaquiles with birria.... big mistake!!! We are mexican soooo yeah those are not chilaquiles.... they taste good but nope the birria was good and the watermelon radishes were delicious I liked what I got and she didnt that much

Absolutely fabulous. Good food. Great service. Fun times. Drinks are amazing.

This is a must-visit if you ever find yourself near the Little Italy district of San Diego.Their menu is extremely unique and creative - you’ll never find another place like it. I ordered the breakfast fried rice with the pork belly, and it was absolutely scrumptious. Washed it all down with a spiked latte.DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EAT HERE! So so so worth the wait for a table!

Great place for breakfast. Right above Farm to Table Restaurant in little Italy, this place has great vibes and fantastic food.We walked to this restaurant from our hotel in seaport village area. We also missed this place as it’s on top of another restaurant. As we climbed up to second floor, the receptionist enthusiastically led us to a comfortable booth with colorful decoration and separators between tables.As I had read a lot on the reviews, I came prepared to order. I was going to try their soufflé pancake but the waitress told me that the pancake may take a long time to prepare. So I ordered the egg Benedict as a second choice. It turned out very good. Although the ham is bit dry but the over all dish was good.My wife got what she came here for, French toast with fruits. Her dish tasted amazing. She just loves it.The waitress also told us that another popular dish is their breakfast fried rice. I will try that dish for our next visit.Due to the pandemic, there were not too many people here for breakfast in the morning. We didn’t have to wait for our seating. But the waitress told us that lunch and dinner times have a long wait. So come early for those dining time.

The ambience is great and so is the food. Long wait times but worth it. I’d go back for sure when I’m in SD next!

Ambience and outdoor seating is fantastic for friends, a date, or just because. Located in the heart of Little Italy and where all the people watching action is happening.The food quality is (3.0) and comparable to Dennys. Overpriced but they have a mortgage, right? Service (3.0). Attentiveness (3.0). There will be a wait from 930 a.m. until closing. It is best to arrive when the restaurant opens.Street parking will be a challenge. Pay attention to signs. Several folk had their pets. I suggest pets stay at home to respect others dining experiences.

Ive been here three times this year, each time is amazing. The decor is a feast for the eyes, every surface has been carefully thought out by a designer; the atmosphere is second to none; the menu and food is perfect every time. And the manager and staff went out of their way to make our last visit extra special. Id give more than 5 stars if I could!

Great service. Very chill. Food was well prepared and served by the chef that made it. Bathrooms and ambience were spectacular. We are just visiting San Diego and we are looking to come back tomorrow. Solid breakfast menu and finishing touches that won’t disappoint.

Great staff, hip decor, and amazing breakfast food/cocktails make this place a full experience. Its tough getting a table though.

Very overrated. Waited over 30 minutes just to get put on a two hour waitlist. The food was good but not great. I got souffle pancakes and my girlfriend got the fried rice. Souffle pancakes really just tasted exactly like regular pancakes. Fried rice lacked meat. We order grapefruit juice and orange juice, which didnt come until we were halfway finished with out food. The juices also didnt taste that great. I could have gotten food of equal or better quality and waited less time for it at almost any other breakfast restaurant. Not worth the hassle.

Eggs Benedict with crispy ham were good and pancakes with toast and jam. Cool atmosphere with loud music. Great place for breakfast! The bathrooms were unique and very clean with a cool toilet. The service was great and very attentive will be going back again when in town. Also tbe area around the place in Little Italy is a cool place to hang out.

More than just good looks, decent food, better drinks. The dirty scalloped potatoes was just a hash brown lightly covered in sausage gravy. The Birria was a bit bland but the tortillas were great. The highlight was the khachapuri. Fluffly cheesey goodness. The irish coffee is all Irish, almost no coffee. Service is slow. It can get a bit loud when the ladies that brunch with bottles start to show up. I would go back, but have a different item and make sure I have the hour and a half to sit in the restaurant like last time.

We had to wait in line to put our name on the waiting list which took 20 minutes, then had to wait another hour and 20 minutes to get a seat. There was even a wait to use the restroom as they only had two stales (two toilets) for the whole restaurant. The decor and ambiance are very unique in this restaurant which was nice to see but definitely not worth the wait. We ordered drinks from the bar which came out after the food. The food was just okay and definitely not worth the wait. It seems like this place is more hype than actually good. That being said I will say that the souffle pancakes were very sweet and tasty and the lobster omelet was delicious. However, the fried rice was very salty and seem like it had too much soy sauce in it and was not edible. I probably would not want to wait again to eat at this place.

Excellent breakfast choices and great service!

I love the consortium group. They are the best local San Diego chain. They are modern/hip, good is good and cocktails are on point. With that said, everybody and their mothers are trying to eat here. We came here the day before the shelter in place and the wait was 2 hours instead of 3. But we got extremely lucky by finding a bar seat! The food was amazing. I got the fried rice, the eggs were cooked perfectly. My fiancé got the eggs Benedict and those were perfection. My friend got the egg sandwich and it was delicious. The only thing was the food came out in 15 minutes but drinks took 45 minutes! Wow! They were seriously behind and the cocktails were amazing but that’s a crazy wait. I would love to come back.

Had to wait 2 hours, but the atmosphere, service and unique food was worth it. I say put your name down then stroll around the area. Nothing we ordered was bad, the only thing I wouldn’t do again was the white peach Bellini. Outside of that everything else I would order again.

We are there for breakfast, the best helpful hint can say about this place is get there early. We got there a half hour before it opened on Saturday and were third in line, less than 15 minutes later the line had grown so long the people arriving were having to out their names on a wait-list.As for the food, there is a reason there is a wait long before they open.I had the chorizo eggs, which were almost perfect. The potatoes were soft but not too soft as to become mashed potatoes. The eggs were cooked perfectly and seasoned very well.The souffle pancakes were a new experience and although Im still an american pancake man they should be tried of you havent had them before.The atmosphere was fun and airy. We mostly sat and people watched over the little italy market.Not sure if it would be worth waiting if we hadnt gotten there early but certainly try it at least once.

Stopped by on my vacation and let me tell you, IT WAS SOOOO worth the wait!!!! Amazing food, amazing drinks, great music, and the staff are my absolute favorite! Will definitely be coming back again!

Excellent food and service in a whimsical setting! The souffle pancakes are deliciously light and fluffy ... no need for syrup. Travel tip: Go early on a weekday before 10 AM to avoid long wait times.

Waiter was great! It was interesting to seat by the kitchen and see the different dishes being prepared and served. We were seated right away! Chicken and waffles a little spicy. Would go back again.

Stopped by for breakfast 6/11/21. First time there and Loved the place.Was with my wife of 40 years. We put down on stools in front of this supper Fun bartender. Just a Blast. Food was real good too. So different and well priced. Will go back for sure!

Can’t get enough of this place. It’s as much about the staff as it is the vibe and decor. It’s a party in your pants every visit! Favs: soufflé pancakes are a must, sausage, dirty hash browns with gravy, pork belly rice and breakfast carbonara are to die for. Get your yum on! #soufflepanvakes #sandiego #nikkifrancis #realestate #everythingsandiego #local #native #bornandraised #ilovethisplace #ilovethiscity

Great quirky atmosphere, great servers, and awesome food! I had the American breakfast with french toast and my boyfriend had the souffle pancakes and everything was delicious. Gabriella greeted us and she was soo kind and friendly. Would definitely go back!

Lets start with decor: the ambiance in this spot is incredible, great details, and the colors make for great photos. The staff also wear a dickies overall which you can tell they each personalize a show a bit of their personality, super cute!FOOD: we tried the fried rice, souffle pancakes, crispy chicken Katsu, and dirty scalloped potatoes. WORTH EVERY PENNY, who ever created this menu must LOVE food so kudos to them.Drinks: GET the hurricane, the presentation is beautiful but the taste is everything you want. We also tried the Thai iced tea, orange joolius and one other. They werent anything Id try again.Service: the host was so welcoming and genuinely appeared to be happy and not hate her job. This is always a plus for the first impression of anywhere you go. The food runners were also really great, helpful and dont just run off. Our server was unfortunately below average, not friendly or personable to make an impression nor present enough to not if shed come back. Everyone has an off day so maybe this was hers 🤷🏼‍♀️
