Late September 2026. This is like a hybrid vibe of club and restaurant. Cute inside. The outside booths were a bit dirty and grimy (from age I imagine). Service was ok. Food was excellent and the menu had good variety. Dogs are welcome. Music was hip and trendy. Good atmosphere, good food, good place to hang out.
We were in town for my niece's graduation and stopped by for lunch on the way from the airport. We were able to park and keep an eye on our car full of luggage which was a plus. We came in the middle of a Friday and they were not busy. We were seated outside and it was a beautiful day. My husband ordered the waygu meatballs and I had the spicy fried chicken sandwich. We were both very happy with our meals and our service. The interior of the restaurant is adorable. If I lived in the area I would definitely be back.
Stopped in for a drink while traipsing about on a visit to SD and decided to grab some food as well. Holy moly this place surprised us with the quality and deliciousness of the food! Ordered a salad and 3 entrees between 4 of us. Small portions but surprisingly the perfect amount is food! 5/5 Mingo mango margarita was a small cup but perfectly mixed and flavorful with delicious hints of mango 5/5 Italian chopped - the salad was simple but delicious, loved the sliced salame. 5/5 Cacio e pepe - this was the star for me! Like an al dente truffle garlic butter pasta. I'd come back for this alone! 3.5/5 Campanelle sausage - friends loved it, added some salt and chili flakes but the cacio e pepe was the standout for me. 5/5 Short rib - small portion but the meat was fall apart tender. Generous on the mash potatoes underneath. The inside is super cute, gets pretty busy but the vibes are there. We'll be back, heard they have a good brunch to check out!
Food here is so good but the bottomless mimosas are dangerous ! If you get food it's only $16 for bottomless and we sure took advantage of that. The servers are very kind and since we were celebrating a birthday we got free birthday shots! I would definitely be back and parking here isn't hard to find.
I want to hear a few weeks ago for my friend's birthday. It was a Saturday although it wasn't too busy which was perfect for us because our server, Brie was super tentative! We ordered a number of drinks, they're Paloma being one of my favorites since it has a splash of lychee gave it a unique twist. We also ordered the large Flamingo drink, although I think it's a little overrated, it tasted a bit strong and so much ice it's probably only equivalent to two drinks, but cost wise equivalent to four. Overall it was a good experience I definitely would go back here super cute spot for brunch with friends.
had a really great time sitting at the Upstairs bar, the sunset was amazing and I'm so grateful I was there to see it. I had some fabulous drinks, there was a bartender named Sean who made me the bee sting. I would highly recommend getting that drink and then I had Kelsi who not only was smiling all the time and made me feel very welcome but her drinks were amazing as well. I had the chicken piccata and found it to be delicious.
Overall, my group enjoyed our time at the Flamingo Deck! Expect loud music, dim lighting, and great vibes! We came early in the evening (~7 PM) to be able to eat dinner. 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!
I enjoyed the Flamingo Deck much more than I was expecting to! The reason I said that is because unusually shy away from the bars right in the thick of Pacific Beach, they tend to be crowded and full of an exuberant partying young crowd that I just tend to not gravitate towards anymore. 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!
Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday and it surprisingly wasn't busy at all! Got seated pretty quickly, but service was just a bit slow. Strange considering there was no one there. But they made up for it with their French toast. Eggs Benny was good average haha, French toast was great and not too sweet! A little bit dry because it's so thick. Overall, not a bad place to drop in if other places in the neighborhood are busy! You get a bit of an ocean view at the rooftop but only in the corner (obsecured by other buildings and the street..but it's there!).
Went for a friends birthday! Parking is just always a thing in San Diego nowadays, but of course at the beach. We luckily found a parking in front. We were greeted right away and escorted to our groups table. We were imm offered drinks and placed our orders. Service was good and attentive. It was a vibe there. It wasn't as busy as I am sure it can be but it was nice because we weren't rushed as a large group. There were a few large groups so I would say this is a great spot for groups. We were also giving some complimentary birthday shots which was a nice touch
We visited on Memorial Day, and it wasn't busy at all. It's a great spot to start the night or hang out during the day. They have daybeds that look really fun for a relaxed afternoon, and we'd definitely come back to experience it at a different time of day. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the calamari, truffle mushroom pizza, and Stallone pizza, all were pretty good. The drinks were excellent; I had the Naked & Famous cocktail, which I really enjoyed. Overall, it's a place we'd return to for drinks and a relaxed vibe.
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.
Where they get you is their surcharges. There's a 4% surcharge on all checks plus 20% for larger parties. Despite this surcharge, service was very slow. They barely checked on our table. I spent almost $40 for breakfast just because I was in a large party. Food was fine but not exceptional. Only one working stall in the bathroom.

It was my first time coming here! The food was really good. Definitely shareable which is really nice so you can try a little bit of everything. The pizza was really good, I like that the crust and the dough was thick and soft. I also really liked that it was made from a wood fire pizza oven. (I could tell since they are my favorite). The pear burrata was refreshing and light. Definitely would get that again, the only thing I would change on that dish would be to make the pears a little bit softer. The service was great. She would check up on us and she brought what we needed on time. Didn't have a problem. Very nice and helpful. The restaurant/bar was SUPER cute!! Really liked the vibe and how they decorated the place. Loved the roof top (that's where I ate) and you can see the ocean from there. Nice view from up there. They also have music playing and sometimes it can be loud. Parking can be very hard to find so prepare to park far and walk or uber/lyft. read more

drinks and food is super good and I've been here a few times. I brought my friends from out of town to show them one of my favorite places, and we were charged way too much for a drink. 85 for two double HOUSE margs seems a bit insane to me. For a house marg... but whatever. We tried to figure it out with the bartender but she brought the manager and they both decided we were in the wrong for ordering that. When it's only supposed to be 44 in total (didn't tell us it was 42 for a double marg..) Ava our server was absolutely amazing and was always checking in on our table (large group). she was so nice and even helping us try to figure out what went wrong with the drinks. anyway I do really like this place and I will continue to come back but I will not be ordering with the same brunette bartender that was upstairs. read more

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. read more
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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was amazing we had the shrimp Alfredo and meatball pizza which were both amazing but I'll be thinking about that pizza for a while! The drinks were strong in a good way! Worth the price. The waitress was attentive and kind making sure to check on us appropriately. The ambiance is picturesque with open spaces and patio seating. read more

The main bar is more a youngins vibe. There is a bar room in the back that is a little more low key, kinda like a speakeasy vibe. Would recommend. read more
