Went with a group of friends for brunch. Lucked out by barely needing to wait at all for a table for six (I wouldn't recommend rolling the dice with that though). No complains at all. Definitely worth going! Great Bloody Mary. Delicious food. Relatively big portions. Friendly service. Unique atmosphere. There really isn't much else you can ask for!

I thought the prices were reasonable because of the amount of food you get. You can easily share an appetizer and be done with dinner. My favorite appetizer was the mac n cheese. I would have to say I have never had it like that before. The pot pie was good: the crust was in a cast iron skillet and served on a chopping board. I thought it was cute. The building and seating were rustic-like, and I loved the appeal of the way it was dressed. It was a little cramped, but the food was worth it.

The venue is a beautiful old sandblasted house that’s been done up all quirky. They have a pretty cool looking bar area on the inside. I liked the overhanging trellises and old park bench seats. The food is pretty good, especially the chicken. The avocado burger and hummus dip were also very tasty. I’m giving this experience four stars because it’s just a bit overpriced. If each dish was $3-5 cheaper, this would be a 5-star restaurant.

It was my friend and I's first time dining at this restaurant. The restaurant has a great set of people. They are so sweet, so welcoming, and working very hard to provide a great service and experience to everyone. It was very busy yet the staff is just so darn nice and kind. Our waiter was such a handsome nice guy, we asked for suggestions on our food and drink and he patiently explained everything. The food was just delicious. You can see in the pictures that the portion size is quite big. It was seasoned perfectly and the salad dressing was just yummy. We ordered coffee afterward and it was freshly brewed and tasted very good. Despite most restaurants, they would never rush you to leave, and they would never ignore you. They would come and check up on you just to see if you need anything and they would never bring you a check before you ask. We spent one hour and 30 minutes and enjoyed every minute of the stay. In general, we had a GREAT night, delicious food, amazing experience and we will definitely go back.

Cute brunch place with great service, vibes, and food! Got the croissant sandwich & tots and the strawberry lemonade and both were so delicious! The croissant sandwich was nice and light with a perfectly poached/runny egg. The tots were nice and crispy. Friend got the Oink.. it was too sweet for me and the cornbread was kind of dry. The pulled pork almost felt like a very sweet glaze for the jalapeño cornbread. I wouldn’t recommend unless you have a very sweet tooth.

Food portions are enough to share. The food isn't cooked to order thus coming out only warm to the touch. I would have preferred a hot waffle and Chicken. Very nice ambience and customer service was great. The downside FOR ME are the pet dogs dining (not service animals), but it is like this EVERYWHERE in San Diego.

Charming New Zealand themed eatery and pub in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. The menu features a variety of specialty burgers. Stop by during happy hour for slider versions if you want to try them all. The cocktails here are noteworthy as well. The restaurant itself is bright and airy with a quirky, whimsical theme to the decor. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating, making it the perfect place for brunch or a sunset dinner.

Wait in line for half an hour on Sunday at noon, and totally worth it! Breakfast Poutine and French toast are amazing. Love tots with that savory gravy sauce and cinnamon butter came with extra soft toast. Also got a lamb hash and the cure, which are not impressive. Fried chicken was dry. Lamb was plain. This place is lovely and i really like the chill vibe:)
