    Example of how we were treated.

    Service, The service was horrible, the waitress was very rude and did not come to check on my family, even though the restaurant was empty. Food, The food was also very disappointing. I got the one thing our waitress suggested, the crem brûlée French toast, and it did not live up to it's expectations. It was soggy and not cooked fully. Ambiance, It was a very pretty place with a good view, although the service and food ruined it.

    the RAW part of my Crme Brulee French Toast

    My family and I walked in and asked an employee if we needed to wait to be seated, and his response was, "I'm not on the clock right now." That was incredibly rude and unprofessional. He could've at least gotten someone else to help instead of acting like we were a problem. The restaurant wasn't even busy, yet we still waited almost 40 minutes for our food just for everything to come out one plate at a time, spaced out by like 10 minutes. Then the French toast came out raw in the middle, which was disgusting. This was my first time here and honestly it'll probably be my last. We came here on vacation expecting good food and service, but instead got terrible customer service, awful food, and a horrible experience.

    Halloween Bar crawl. This is my 2nd time coming here. 1st time we came we had dinner and I got me the cool Flamingo drink. 2nd time was for the Halloween Bar Crawl. Got my free shot drink. Nice chill spot to drink and chill with friends as you listen to music. If you never been, then you need to be lol.

    Lovely spot! Staff kind and fun, drink specials most nights and this place is cute! Indoor/outdoor dining with cabana feel and privacy curtains. Come for the specials stay for the service.

    Love the vibe and ambiance. Cool open space to hang out to grab drinks and brunch. The espresso martini was 10/10 for me!

    I was skeptical to try this place since it didn't have great reviews but I absolutely love it! The atmosphere and decor was lovely. The staff was super friendly and the food was great! I dined here with 9 other people during a Bachelorette party. We were required spend $400 as a whole party to make a reservation which is probably the only thing I didn't like about this place. I understand they want to make sure we spend money as a group but that was a turn off and we almost chose to go else where because of this. Despite that little limitation, I really enjoyed my experience. I ordered the French toast and it was so yummy! It was decadent in all the right ways while not being overly sweet. I also had a few cocktails which were also very smooth and refreshing. I will definitely be back if I'm in San Diego for a few days again!

    The bbq chicken pizza is a must! It's good food with a vibe, except they never came to check on us and had to walk toward the front to ask for the check. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

    Oh such a cute place especially for bachelorette weekend! Plenty of photo spots for your Instagram feed. We made reservations (just in case) for a Saturday 11:30a brunch. It was not crowded when we arrived and were seated promptly. Keep in mind, there's also a lunch menu section but they cannot serve that until 12 noon. There's an underground parking garage close by and thank goodness Flamingo Deck will validate your parking up to two hours, I think. Our party of 5 enjoyed our entrees. We ordered the following: -Crème Brûlée French Toast -Prosciutto Avocado Toast x2 -Caprese Benedict -Chicken Pesto Sandwich I love how they have some mocktail options so we got a few Lychee Spritz. Delicious, not too sweet and very refreshing. Out of everything we ordered, the proscuitto avocado toast was the favorite. It was freaking delicious! Portions were bigggggg....big enough for females to share so FYI. Our waitress provided great customer service. She was patient with us when we took forever to decide what we want to order since we kept chatting and taking photos/videos (lol yeah typical bachelorette behaviors) and she checked on us periodically to make sure everything was to our liking. Food was delivered promptly....food was fresh and pippin hot. There is a security guard by the door that checks for I.D. Thought that was random since it's daytime and we were here for just brunch. But I guess since this is a bar establishment, it's a requirement. Overall, really enjoyed my brunch here and it help set the mood for the rest of my Saturday bachelorette activities. A few of my girls and I were saying if we didn't have a flight to catch Sunday, we would've came back here and ordered the prosciutto avocado toast and the creme Brulé french toast again.

    Our first stop in San Diego, this was a great way to kick off the week! Flamingo Deck was right down the road from the hotel we stayed at upon arrival and we came hangry and ready to get the party started. The space overall was super cute, very fun decor and very open to enjoy the beautiful weather. I loved my espresso martini which was not only picture perfect but very tasty. I also enjoyed my second drink which I believe was the Paloma. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was huge, overall very good.

    Great vibe--perfect for a date night or a girls' day out. Drinks are amazing, and the large sharing cocktails are great for groups of 3-4. Plenty of delicious food options to choose from. They close the dining area later in the evening and transition into a music bar

    Salmon and risotto

    The vibe of the restaurant is not my thing, but it wasn't bad. The food, however, was cooked to perfection. I got the salmon with risotto and asparagus. Some of the best salmon I've had! Servers were super nice.

    Great place with a fun ambiance! Decorated vibrantly and a fun atmosphere. Came for lunch and got their hummus plate with pita a fresh veggies. Friend chicken sandwich was delicious too!! Drinks were definitely the highlight and presentation and taste was outstanding. Bartender wasn't very friendly amd seemed unhappy to be there, we felt like we were inconveniencing him when ordering.

    Great spot to bring a girl here as they love the aesthetic here. Flamingo deck has a chokehold on the PB girls. They have a solid happy hour and always have a DJ on deck.

There was a transition of servers (not sure if he left for the day or went on lunch) and the new server would check on everyone at the bar except us. My water remained empty for most of the meal. 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. I prefer consistently in service, especially if I'm waiting an hour to be seated.

We had spent most of the day around Bankers Hill and decided to grab an early dinner at Books & Records. Getting reservations was easy, but from the moment we walked in, the ambiance alone already had us sold. The place was still pretty quiet when we arrived, and to our surprise it was happy hour, so naturally we ordered a bunch of items off the menu along with drinks. Everything was ridiculously good. 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.

There was several couples seated at the bar area but lots of open high tables in the middle and a large party seated on the side. I quickly noticed too on the way inside that there's about 3 different sections of seating for people so they must get very packed!!! We sat at the high table next to where I think a live band would be performing, since there was a spot nearby with a bunch of wiring going on. Definitely looks amazing inside with the decor and furniture of the spot adding some pleasant vibes. I don't think there's that much, but there are just enough records and books when you look around (and also use the restroom). This spot seems to be best for those who want to drink with their meals. We didn't drink this time around because we had a long drive back to LA. We absolutely enjoyed the Pork Belly Bao Buns and utilized the happy hour deal to enjoy it with a side of their deliciously crisp fries. The flat iron steak was also very yummy and left us wanting to eat more... Yeah, if you're the type to need a lot to be filled up you either need to pay another entree to eat more or eat some dessert afterwards. Anyways, this spot was perfect for a date night and we were treated very well by the staff and our server!!!

The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

"Over medium" eggs came barely cooked, still had clear egg gel floating around. The table next to us had the same issue. The fried chicken, which is beautiful looking, was strangely flavorless. 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).
