Pizza was excellent. Crust was top notch.
Rich B.

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.

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!

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.

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!).

Avocado toast

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

Teresa K.

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.

Happy hour menu
Nicole C.

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.

We arrived around 10am on a Friday and there was a long line, as expected. We waited for about 40 minutes for a table. Luckily Parakeet Cafe is across the street so we grabbed a drink while we waited. Once we were seated near the kitchen, we knew this was absolutely worth the wait! I loved the 2000s music they were playing inside, and the staff was super friendly. The menu was so unique! It definitely stood out from other brunch restaurants. I loved the colors and design. We ordered the souffle pancakes, hashbrowns, and chicken & waffles to share. The chicken was crispy on the outside and so tender and juicy on the inside. The souffle pancakes were light and fluffy. The hashbrowns were the perfect amount of crispy. It was my bestie's birthday, and our waiter brought a cute little macaroon dessert with her name printed on it. The personalization was such a nice touch and made her feel extra special! Even though we were there during peak brunch hours, by the time we got our table, the service was quick and attentive. The waiters seem like genuinely nice people which made the experience so great. The drinks we ordered were so cute. Presentation is everything and our waiter even gave us the option to choose the flower color. He knew we wanted good photos! Non-alcoholic drinks were also available which is great if you want a mocktail instead after a night out, or just can't hang like you used to (shout out to my fellow 30+ girlies lol). This is definitely one of the most instagrammable brunch spots in San Diego so come hungry with your camera ready!

Ridiculously long wait time, bad food, and dismissive/gaslighting service. We ended up spending…read morearound FOUR HOURS of our day at Morning Glory, most of which was spent waiting to be seated, waiting/looking for our server, waiting for our food, and waiting for our check. If we were told accurate wait times, we would have went somewhere else for brunch instead of wasting our precious vacation day. The location and aesthetic being located on the second floor at the corner of the building was a big reason that drew us to this location. The music is horrendously loud that our group of girls could not converse without screaming or going right up to someone's ear. I think they should promote this place as a bar instead of a breakfast/brunch spot. Long wait time: We waited for a long time in line just to check in, then we were told the wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. We were told they would text us when a table opened. Luckily, there was a farmer's market going on outside. We came back around the estimated wait time and not having been texted. The hostess proceeded to gaslight us about our actual wait time, then told us it would be another 45 minutes. We proceeded to wait well over that estimated wait time was well. After they told us our table was ready, they told us to "go to the middle area". So, we sat at the middle table that was open and waited for a long time. The servers stared at us confused and told us we were supposed to stand at the bar instead of sitting down, but then he proceeded to take our order and said this was our table anyways. But why should we stand awkwardly at the bar in everyone's way when our table was ready? The servers forgot to get one of our orders and instead of apologizing, pretended that we were the ones at fault. Food: - Breakfast Carbonara: overcooked noodles. tasted like mac n' cheese. the "porkbelly" are basically little cut up bacon pieces. - Souffle pancake: should have labeled it as a biscuit, not souffle - Power Bowl: yes, the salad was the best thing at this establishment. it was very flavorful with all of the tasty ingredients mixed together. hard to mess that up though. There is barely any parking nearby except for a few on the street.

Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat.

Such a unique touch of earthy-love I'm just glad it wasn't a hour wait or longer how I was repeatedly warned. We got seats right away. Could've been due to the construction on the street near by. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in town.
