    First time coming in here after a marathon we ran, though they did have a wait time due to the overall people that came in that day, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! I ordered the steak Benedict and boy the food was GREAT! The setting, the vibe was there! Only issue is the parking, if by any chance you come in like the day we came in, you'll have a hard time looking for a spot, but other than that, will totally comeback here!

    They say these are "house potatoes" looks more like frozen bag potatoes. Sysco foods much.

    Talked myself into walking by and trying some breakfast. Def a disappointment, trucker cafe style food. Only thing fresh were the eggs, hopefully not the cheapest eggs on the market but probably so. I had the American, it came with the thinnest bread ever, was supposed to be sourdough, they str8 lied, thinking cuz its white its sourdough, nahhhhh it wasnt. I dont like the no chicken sausage option, possible too pricey for them. I expected more but it def gives off that 'no one cares' feel. Cruise by Second Nature for some legit cooking ingredients.

    Great cafe down the block from our AirBnB. Great outdoor vibe, delicious food, varied menu and nice staff. We had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, short rib Benedict, lemon ricotta pancakes and vegan crispy cauliflower with soy chorizo, vegan egg and hollandaise sauce. Breakfast potatoes were awesome.

    My husband and I stopped in for breakfast a couple weeks ago and had a great time. We were sat right away which was super lucky for a Saturday morning. Our server was super nice and helpful. We both really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Love that the entire place is indoor/outdoor. Super cute vibe with all of the plants and unique furniture.

    Had breakfast here with my mom and her dog, which worked out perfectly because the patio is super dog-friendly. We grabbed a table outside--it's such a cute setup. Even though it's totally open-air, the trees and plants make it feel kind of tucked away and cozy. I ordered the chipotle chilaquiles and WOW. So good. The sauce had just the right amount of kick, and the chips stayed crispy--not that sad, soggy mess you sometimes get. My mom got the Benedict and liked it too, but I definitely won that round. Also had a honey lavender latte and now I'm obsessed--wish I had one right now honestly.

    Fig tree is a cute little restaurant. The food was okay, the potato's were dry and the eggs Benedict were good but nothing extraordinary. Our server was pretty bad, she kept forgetting about refilling our drinks and quite frankly, she wasn't very nice. The atmosphere It's really cute!

    Veggie Omelet with gluten free toast
    Delilah W.

    Cute and delicious brunch spot! Perfect to sit outside in the sun. My friend got the breakfast sandwich - the brioche bun was amazing. I got the veggie omelette, the goat cheese was a great addition. The gluten free toast was not my favorite, a bit too thin and crispy. The chai latte is a must! Service was quick and friendly. We'll be back!

    The main entrance is gorgeous. The giant fig tree is enormous. Our server, Mark, was on top of everything. We ordered the french toast/pancake sampler with lemon ricotta pancakes, lemon strawberry french toast, and berry sweet french toast. It was delicious, especially the lemon strawberry french toast. My husband loved the crispy pork belly & grits. Thank you Mark for the recommendation. We tried a traditional breakfast, as well as the short rib sandwich. Our food runner, Axel, was super nice as well. The manager, Eva, and hostess, Maggie were also very friendly. The restrooms were clean also. We will definitely come back on our next visit.

    Wowwww. This was amazing. Every single item ordered was delicious. 100% would come back for the breakfast trio and try some more of these sweet pancakes and French toasts. Worth the sugar rush! Staff were friendly and service was quick. Vibe here is fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Cute weekend brunch spot. Lots of outdoor seating and dog friendly. Staff has been top notch every time I've been here. The breakfast sushi, burrito and Benedict's are all solid choices. Tried the French toast sampler for the first time and the fig jam ricotta was perfection! Until next time!

    We had a great waiter Jake. Friendly and good service. My second time here first time for my husband. We just dropped our youngest son at the airport and stopped in on the trip home. I got the breakfast sushi. I had it my first time here and really like it. I also wanted the apple fritter pancakes so my husband was nice enough to order them so I could have both. The pancakes are delicious and I would recommend them. Happy we have leftovers of both for breakfast tomorrow. Glad they had fly fans for the tables so we had no problems.

Everyone really enjoyed their dishes! It being a bar, we weren't expecting much, but everything we tried on the menu was delicious-- especially the braised short rib, truffle fries, and the variety of pasta dishes they offer. Some pasta dishes came with bread, some did not, so some had to share their breads since it is not clarified which pasta dishes offered bread or did not. Drinks were honestly a hit or miss. We absolutely loved some drinks while others were watered down or just not great. We really enjoyed the Paloma, Coconut Mojito, and even the lychee mocktail was a hit. As the night went on, the bar got really full to where we were sitting with groups of people with their backs to the back of our chairs. It got very busy, we had to physically go find our waitress to get our credit card back as it had been 15 minutes since she had taken it. The wait staff though was so friendly and attentive before the bar got completely packed. We would come back here for the next Bachelorette trip as it was a young crowd, other bach parties were there, and overall a fun atmosphere for a night out!

We went right after they opened on a Friday at noon. At first, we were the only people there, by the end of the time there were a few other tables, but I was surprised that it was a mixed age crowd. We ordered a mix of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks for the table and everybody enjoyed them. The place is beautiful, the decor is a lot of fun. We had Bree as our server and she was great. It was a group of my girlfriends from work for a little Galentine's celebration and we decided to go for a bunch of appetizers to share. The mushroom pizza is fabulous!!! Best pizza I have had in a long time. The crust is sourdough and they used Taleggio cheese and top it with some truffle oil. They got the crust just right, it was so crispy and delicious and it came out piping hot. The papas bravado were my second favorite thing on the table. They did a great job with those tasty little potatoes and that savory aïoli. The tuna stack was another stand out. It kind of was basic until I tried the little citrus oil that it came with, and that really made it pop. I really enjoyed the pear and burrata salad. The pears were grilled just right and it came with a delicious crispy bread and was piled high with arugula and prosciutto. Great job on that dish! We got a charcuterie board that was loaded with goodies, including one of my favorite cheese is the Humboldt Fog. It was not very well balanced though. It really needed something sweet in addition to the mustard to balance the flavors. Maybe like a fig jam or some honey. A couple of grapes or some dried fruit would've been good too. The calamari was the only thing that was not good. It was horrible. It was basically regretting with a tiny little bit of they squid in it. We are savages and we did not finish that dish or take it home. I would return to this establishment and I'm curious about the brunch. I would not be visiting at night because I'm sure that it's more crowded than I am interested in. Thanks for surprising me Flamingo Deck!

As I understand it, Moray's is the outside/patio dining portion, while Oceana is the indoor fine-dining situation. I believe they pretty much have very similar menus, with Oceana having some additional high-end offerings. Came out to Moray's to visit my cousin who was in town for work. Since my cousin now has her most adorable infant, she wanted to keep it simple and dine at the hotel restaurant, which was fine by me. While I waited for them to come down from their room, I got us a patio table and ordered a delicious $10 draft. Mixed drinks were all hovering around $19 each. The server was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which I greatly appreciated. I went with the reasonably priced Steak Frites, $36, which was to stated to come with Muenster cheese and caramelized onions on top, and served with a side chimichurri. While the steak was wonderfully cooked to a solid med. rare as requested, it seemingly had very little flavor. Perhaps had it not been covered with a wealth of some DEEPLY caramelized onions and an abundance of Muenster cheese, I might have been able to taste the seasonings and/or the beef. While I love some deeply caramelized onions on a salt-laden burger, the extent to which these were caramelized left them seeming soggy and too sweet for the steak pairing. Add in the several slices of melted Muenster cheese on top, and flavourwise I could hardly tell I was eating a steak. Ultimately, the abundance of toppings overwhelmed the steak. The accompanying chimichurri was also a little strange. While I appreciate that it was diced and not blended, it was very heavy on the oil, while very light on the herbs. The frites were nicely salted and good on their own, however a decent amount became soggy from being under the steak. The burger on the other hand looked excellent. My cousin devoured his in what seemed like a split second. I could have went for the burger, however at $27 I perceived the $36 steak frites to be of a better value. Again, shout out to our server. They were on-point! Thanks Moray's!

I've honestly had more flavorful burgers at In-N-Out (animal style), which isn't a great look for a high-end burger. On the bright side, my wife's risotto was excellent--easy 10/10. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the risotto was rich and flavorful, and even the waitress said it's one of her favorite dishes (advice I should've taken).

That said, the food and customer service could use some improvement.

The business still features offerings from Mati's, but it is now a food collective. A chicken wing vendor and a future chicken and waffles vendor will be sharing the same kitchen. Parking is free for up to 30 minutes in the shared lot. After that duration, you need to pay at one of the available kiosks. Since these were the early days of The Playground, there were operational kinks that need to be smoothed out. First were the unusual business hours (e.g. 9 am to 9 pm on Thursday and Friday, only 7 pm to 9 pm on Sunday, etc). My initial attempt to visit occurred after work on a weekday. Despite the supposed closing time of 11 pm, the doors were locked at 5:30 pm. Second was the lack of prices on the menus. That is a cardinal sin in my book because if you are open to the public, then you owe it to the customers to disclose the costs. The first item for my to-go order was a snack size serving (six pieces) of Chicken Wings. I picked Bonnie's Barbeque for a sauce that featured a sweet and smokey flavor. The wings were coated with the sauce and not deep fried which made them a bit healthier. The second item was a Birria Quesadilla that came with consome on the side. A flour tortilla was filled with cheese, marinated shredded beef, cilantro, and onion. It was then sliced into smaller triangular pieces and then separated by aluminum foil in a takeout box. The consome had moderate richness while the cheesy, beefy tortilla was filling. I didn't understand the meaning of the new moniker as the interior setup had not been modified. It certainly did not have the ambiance of a playground. My first impression of this place was a three star rating with multiple areas of needed improvement including signage on the marquee. If one is driving down Mission Blvd, then there is no way to notice from the roadside that The Playground even exists.

I ordered the Birria Crunch Wrap, and halfway through eating, I discovered a long strand of hair buried in the food. Not just on top in the food. It was clearly cooked into the dish, which tells me that basic hygiene in the kitchen is completely lacking. When I pointed it out to the server, she barely apologized and offered to remake it, as if that would magically erase the thought of chewing through someone else's hair. No manager came to speak to us, no discount, no sense of urgency or genuine concern. The rest of the food wasn't memorable either--bland, lukewarm, and overpriced for the quality. But honestly, after the hair incident, I couldn't bring myself to take another bite. If you value cleanliness and basic health standards, avoid this place. There are plenty of other restaurants that know how to wear a hairnet.
