Great one stop shop for all your breakfast and lunch needs! They serve a limited menu of Starbucks selections which is pretty neat! Appetite has everything you need from refrigerated sandwiches, grab and go salads, yogurt cups, juices, fruit, protein bars, etc. I too, did stop by for my lunch and ordered a 1/2 sandwich 1/2 soup combo. You can choose from any of their sandwiches! I got the Steak Melt and Maryland Crab Soup. It was hearty and kept me satisfied for lunch! I think soups are popular, so some may run out after lunch. I agree this is the ultimate lunch spot for the surrounding workers in the building and area, so do expect a wait time of 15-20 minutes if you do order upfront. Great choices and a nice variety of food, energy drinks, and coffees! The staff was helpful in suggestions when I mentioned it was my first visit, and gave me a menu to take back. read more

Wow and not in a good way. We have attempted to eat at this business three times./ We have been successful once. Why? Because the business does NOT adhere to their published hours. The first visit we thought maybe we just weren't aware of the hours. Today I specifically called and asked when their kitchen closes and was told 2:30. We showed up at 2:15 and were told that the kitchen was closed and to pick from some pre-prepared options. Uhm, NO. How about you honor your published business hours? Even when I told the person at the counter that I had called she just dismissed us. The non-caring and dismissive experience is just not excusable. This business has clearly to us by their actions that they don't want our business so we will never spend another penny with them. Shocking and sad. Clearly customer service is not a priority or even a concern. read more

The exact same sandwich, the Pacifica, went from penthouse to outhouse in less than a year. Once a 5-star sandwich it torpedoed to a 1-star. What happened? I'll tell you what happened. The sandwich Becky received this time was the evil twin of the beautifully crafted sandwich she received the first time. It was all wrong this time. The French roll was dry. The ratio of ingredients, so perfect last time was all off. Not enough turkey or Provolone. The avocado was old and mushy. The veggies were not fresh. The aioli was non-existent. The sandwich construction was sloppy and haphazard. In a word: terrible. C'mon Appetite, you're better than this. read more

I was "stuck" having to wait all day for my passport but this little gem was a little godsend. They had coffee, breakfast, juice, etc. But I waited until lunch and ordered a Cobb Sandwich. Sounded odd at first but then I saw that they roasted their own Turkey breast in house. It was fantastic! I love fresh roasted turkey on a sandwich! Because of a mixup with my order (the person who took my order must not have understood my request) I didn't get my side of waffle potato fries. They started making them but I hadn't paid for them originally. I told them it was fine and not to worry. But the manager insisted and gave them to me for free. So nice of him! Great food! Great service! Hidden gem! read more

This is the pesto chicken flatbread. Half the dough is chewy and almost uncooked. Chicken is extremely dry and unseasoned. Pesto has this almost bitter taste. This is seriously one of the worse dishes I've have in a while. I can feel the amount of oil they use on my face after taking a bite. Ever since the last manager left the cooks have been horrible. What a waste of money. Go anywhere else but here. Lots of good places in walking distance besides this over priced garbage. Gave them 1 star because the service is good. read more

It's always easy to write a great review, or a less than positive review - it's the average reviews which are harder. I work in the building where Appetite is located so it's convent to stop by and grab breakfast or lunch. Also, there food is normally good, with moments of great, and moments of disappointment. Seems the management has made several changes, and the current individuals working the front are good. But, the cooks can take more care - if I request no tomato, please do not add to my sandwich. Please do not use pepper stems as the veggies in my sandwich when I pay 1.35 for a canned soda, it should not have expired 30 days prior (yes I can tell from the taste). Will I be back, yes - they are in the lobby of my building and the food is usually good. read more

Ordered the chicken salad sandwich with gluten-free bread, which I was stoked they had. It was the SMALLEST sandwich I've ever seen. It belongs on a child's menu. (At Sprouts, when you order a GF sandwich, they give you TWO, because the bread is so small.) I didn't expect 2 sandwiches, but really - they should give you a side salad or tell you "The sandwich is small, so if you're hungry, you might want to order a side." The sandwich did taste good and the dill pickle spear was good. I should've put a fork next to the sandwich in the photo so show the size - sorry! I liked the ambiance. I went with 2 other people and our food all came out at different times. The man that ordered the RARE hamburger waited the longest - and quite long. It was above average in noise. I will go back because the salads looked really good and seemed less expensive than the deli at One America Plaza. read more

I have been a loyal customer when it was called Pacific Western Deli! With change comes ups and downs and I have patiently waited to write this review because they had almost all new staff, new menu and my favorite employee Rita was gone for awhile. She's back, all the employees seems to better trained and I have had an opportunity to taste more items on the menu. I will admit I was a lil annoyed when my favorite sandwich from the old deli did not make the cut. But I have a new favorite (tx to fellow Yelper/friend Ron B) the Chipotle chicken sandwich on a french roll add Avocado! I have also had in in a whole wheat wrap and it's good too! A MUST ORDER: Roasted Lemon pepper Chicken Soup is soooooo good I want the recipe! The Solana Beach breakfast sandwich is delish and I really liked the chorizo burrito not super greasy like some taco shops. All in all opening a new spot comes with hic-ups and I think they have improved immensely! read more

The bartenders in front of us were clearly having a conversation and I didn't want to interrupt. My friend claimed her Irish coffee was sour? And didn't realize cheese came on a side of eggs (she should've checked when she ordered but the server never clarified either). We weren't checked on during the meal until the bill came and by then we just wanted to leave. I ordered the fluffy pancakes and found an egg shell inside. The cracking of eggshells in my mouth made me loose my appetite. We paid (still tipped of course) and left. It was great the first time and mediocre the second time.

Not one miss. What really stood out though was the attention to detail. The host brought us a complimentary glass of champagne after hearing we were celebrating our anniversary. Small gesture, big impact. Stuff like that matters. As the night went on, the restaurant filled up, live music started playing, and the whole atmosphere just came alive. Our waiter never rushed us once, which made the experience feel even more intentional and relaxed. We were able to actually enjoy the moment instead of feeling pushed through dinner service. Good food is one thing. Great hospitality is another. This place gave us both. Next time we're in San Diego, we're absolutely making it a point to come back. Lovely spot. Lovely experience.

Another table was also talking about this issue. Bacon was way overcooked as well. I also really dislike when food timing for a table is way off. I rather it stay in the kitchen under a heat lamp and come together rather that spend 5 minutes staring at my food being polite. So, for a fun "wow that's a ton of food" experience this is it. But I much prefer quality ingredients and attention to detail and flavor over unfinishable portions at a premium price point ($100 after tip for 2 ppl).

Despite it being one of the busiest days of the year, the staff was absolutely superb fast, friendly, and totally on top of it. If you're in Downtown San Diego, this is a must-visit for a solid, convenient breakfast. Highly recommend!

An absolute must when dining here! Everything is made to order (just the way I like it). The baked pancake takes about 20 min, but totally worth it! Overall, service was on point- from start to finish! And the staff are friendly and pleasant! Very informative about the menu, making great recommendations for our table! The apple baked pancake was light and airy with an outer crisp! This house specialty is slow-baked to golden perfection with Granny Smith apples and a warm cinnamon glaze-chef's kiss! I will definitely be back for more!

I was in San Diego for work when I came across Queenstown Public House, and the name immediately…read morecaught my attention because I actually spent my childhood in Queenstown, New Zealand. Growing up, I always looked forward to meat pie Fridays at primary school, so when I saw they had meat pies on the menu, I knew I had to try this place. I was honestly blown away. The meat pie was incredible. The flakiness of the crust especially stood out because it is seriously hard to replicate a taste of home from over 30 years ago, but they absolutely nailed it. It was spot on. I really took my time with every bite. The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned so well too. It was so good that I had to order another pie to-go and yes, I literally carried it onto the plane with me. Even after traveling, it still did not disappoint. On top of the food, the service made the experience even more memorable. Sami was so kind and welcoming, and she even gave me one of their cups with the sheep logo, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in San Diego. I wish I could have met the owners, but maybe next time. Thank you so much for not only serving amazing food, but for giving me a little piece of home here in the US.

We were greeted quickly and were able to be seated without a reservation despite the large party. The food selection looked great. There were two vegetarian options including a pot pie. The pot pie was hearty and delicious. It was full of a variety of vegetables and the fries were amazing. Would definitely go back if I am in the area
