Morning Glory

Food is extraordinary! We had the French omelette with a side of hash browns, and millennial tears with side of vegan pancake with berries. Everything was so well prepared and served beautifully. Special shout out for the cocktails - I had something called spice up your life and wow, the balance of chili in that drink was amazing! The bigger question is - is it worth the wait? Maybe. We waited 45 mins on a Monday afternoon (1 pm). The wait isn’t just because of long lines which wasn’t the case at this hour on a weekday, but that the clean up of tables was so slow that they couldn’t seat people fast enough. We could see 2 tables clear up and nobody bussed it for 15 mins even though we were #1 in waiting line on OpenTable. That part was frustrating! Just clean tables quickly so people can be seated faster. It’ll do you well.

We had been looking forward to dining at Morning Glory for a while now, and it’s not disappoint. My wife had the incredible soufflé pancakes, and I had a classic eggs Benny. Both were some of the best food we had eaten in San Diego in a long time that wasn’t Mexican or seafood. I was going to have a coffee, but then I caved into my wife and had a passionfruit mimosa, and then another. We were very grateful to be able to sit at the bar outside, and our bartender was incredible, and hospitable. We will definitely be back on our next trip to San Diego to visit my family.

We were visiting San Diego and heard of these amazing soufflé pancakes and were lucky to get in after 1.5 hours(literally…thankfully there was farmer’s market there so we could wait for it) It was worth the wait I would say, the soufflé pancakes were amazing, we also had hot chocolate which comes in orange flavour and it was too good, i don’t like orange flavour but somehow this one was super comfy and delicious, highly recommend this hot chocolate. We also had some entrees which were good. I would suggest to make a reservation prior and check in for better viewing seats etc. loved the vibe and the place, very bougie!

Delicious breakfast in Little Italy! It's very popular so expect to wait for a table. We visited on a Tuesday and had a 45 minute wait. I think it was worth it, though! We had the baked French toast and the souffle pancakes. Both were excellent! If you order the pancakes, add the berries and whipped cream. It adds so much more flavor and is worth the extra cost. Service was friendly and helpful.

We came here in a large group for brunch (planned greatly in advance, so the brief wait was anticipated and staff could accommodate because they expected us). The atmosphere was memorable and unique, the space itself is truly cinematic. It’s something between a glam salon and a mechanic’s. All the staff were professional and personable. Along with memorable and stylistic design choices, each menu item was purposeful, and amusingly described. And of course, delectable to the very last bites. The soufflé pancakes deserve all the hype, they are a must-try. We got some for the table and left nothing behind. My steak and eggs were *perfect* with real crispy onions and a super clean chimichurri that brought it all together. Oh, I didn’t get a chance to see the restrooms, but apparently they’re fit for royalty! Next time we’re back in town, we’ll neeeeed to come back. The menu is huge, and everything we ordered brought undeniable flavor.
