Food was not good. The ambiance was okay, hostess was rude and not helpful at all. Our server was nice and friendly! I recommend not driving there since there's limited parking, also this particular business gives priority to larger groups so you may ended up sitting in a corner outside read more

Bailey and Parris in the lay low are awesome!! Such a good vibe. If you are visiting San Diego, 100% recommend. I will be here all weekend, every weekend! read more

10/10 Calamari & Flamingo Drinks 10/10 Ambiance 5/10 Costumer Service (we went for a friends birthday, at night, we were a party of 14 folks, everything took forever, from drinks to appetizers) Would give it another try down the line. read more

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff. Can't remember our waitresses name, but she was super nice and funny. Great place for groups or date nights. Lively spot. read more

Flamingo Deck - Great times! - New American Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a brunch review! Service and atmosphere are great. However the brunch menu kinda sucks. Especially if you're gluten free. Their lunch and dinner menu features a gluten free pizza and they have other gf options there....but for brunch there is nothing. Not even gluten free bread sadly. And the breakfast potatoes are cooked in the same oil as the breaded stuff. So I def won't be coming back for brunch. Drinks are yummy though! read more

I came here on Sunday with a big group of people to get a few drinks and appetizers. Our server was very patient with us in getting all of our orders in. We had someone in our group who ordered a mocktail and has been sober for over 13 years. I understand that mistakes happen, but our server told us she had given him the correct drink and came back a few minutes later telling us she had given him the wrong drink AFTER he had been drinking it. Our friend ended up having to leave early and didn't get a chance to pay for his mocktail. The server was SO RUDE about it saying "well it's on my tab still so one of you guys have to pay for it" in such an aggressive tone. In my opinion, the LEAST she could've done was given us his $8 mocktail for free since she gave our sober friend one with alcohol. Our experience was amazing overall, but the way the server acted rubbed a few of us the wrong way. Mind you, we still left a tip even after there was a 20% charge for bigger groups. Please check your workers attitude. read more

This was hands down one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a while. As a party of 8, four people got there first and got water. The rest of the party arrived and were never given waters throughout the whole meal even when asked. Our server never brought napkins or utensils even AFTER the food was ordered. We had to ask for them after some food had already hit the table to which she replied, "how many do you need?" Ummm maybe count the amount of people at the table? Food came out at drastically different times and three people had already finished their meals before others were served. Gratuity was then auto added at 20% but wasn't told to us in the hopes of getting more tip on top. In addition, the food was very average. The cacio e pepe was literally sitting in what could only be described as a watery pepper soup. 1/5 stars because I can't choose 0. read more

5/5 vibes, service, and drinks Came here for my birthday after brunch to keep the vibes going and we had a blast. The decor is really pink and colorful inside and when you walk in it feels like you're at an event or day party. For drinks you have to try the tiramisu espresso martini. It was so yummy and the tiramisu really elevated the drink. My friends all got drinks and they looked tasty. We even ordered the tiramisu cake to share with the group, which was sweet and moist. Also love how they brand a flamingo on their drinks and cake. They really do know how to market themselves. read more

The flamingo-themed decor was super fun, and the space was nice and spacious. The lively vibe made it a great place to hang out. I tried the Pink Flamingo cocktail, which was really good, and the calamari was tasty too--crispy and well-seasoned. The location is right by the road, making it easy to find. Overall, a great spot for drinks and a fun atmosphere. read more

Host (security dude) that greeted us was not friendly. Service is kind of slow despite being one of the only tables in when the place opened. Whenever we looked for our server she either was not around or talking to other servers. Food was decent, we got Benedicts and some drinks. The hollandaise is really yummy. The potatoes were crispy but some almost burnt. Tomatoes were sweet. And Benedict cooked how you'd expect. Most drinks come with a cute little flamingo in the cup. They're strong and the flavors go together well. Would not come back since the experience overall was mediocre. read more

If you're looking for a pb party spot where you can go eat brunch and get drunk with other pb party people, this is the spot for you. The restaurant is themed and really cute. Food is mediocre and the service is truly awful, we had to get up and go get our server 3 times after waiting for 30 plus minutes for someone to stop by the table, but everyone is very nice. This place has a certain purpose. read more

I really like this place - during the week it's pretty quiet but I love all the lights and the decorations. On the weekend (esp Friday night) the music is bumping and it's such a nice pregame going out spot. The drinks are amazing, I literally went back for the tiramisu espresso martini. The food was good - def recommend coming for the happy hour read more

Cute place with a great aesthetic! The food was fabulous, and the rosemary potatoes were the highlight for me. My main concern was the service. While our waitress was very friendly and the food arrived quickly, there was an issue with my drink order. I ordered a Pepsi when we sat down, but it didn't come with the other drinks. I had to remind the waitress, and even after our food arrived, my drink was still missing. Since I didn't see her pass by again, I eventually had to ask another waitress. By the time my drink finally arrived, I was nearly done with my meal. They weren't busy at all, so I'm not sure why this happened. It may have been a fluke, but it definitely wasn't ideal. That said, I would dine here again in the future read more

Probably the worst drink I've ever ordered at a bar, flushed $20 down the drain. If you feel like deleting money go here

Me and my adopted son are there and he waited for his food for an hour. If it was such a problem you should have said no kids were allowed. But instead you let the adults get food first. That's not hospitality at all and if ya not about kids you should say so. My husband will be in touch with the city of San Diego to have you work on better training for your staff. read more

11/10 service from Bella!! She brought me the best hugo spritz I've ever had. The food came out so fast and was FIREEEE.

We waited for a very long time at our table. Didn't have water or anything. It wasn't that busy. I ordered a truffle pizza with truffle oil. It was saturated in oil. They did replace it with another pizza type and it wasn't good either. My daughters had fettuccine Alfredo. Wasn't anything special. The menu reads like it's fine dining. Not my experience!! read more

The Flamingo Deck - Great food, but disappointing experience with inconsistent policy enforcement We visited The Flamingo Deck last night and had a generally good time. The food was flavorful and the atmosphere was vibrant and fun -- it's clearly a spot where people go to enjoy themselves. That said, I want to share something important that impacted our experience. We were the only table that included people of color in our area, and we were also the only table that was asked to provide a credit card for pre-authorization before ordering. At first, we assumed this was standard, but after observing other tables nearby -- including both smaller and larger parties -- it became clear that this policy wasn't being applied consistently. We respectfully asked our server and then the manager about it. The manager explained that this is the restaurant's policy, which I understand and don't necessarily have an issue with if it's applied evenly. Unfortunately, it wasn't. We directly asked two other tables -- both all-white parties -- and neither was asked to pre-authorize their tab. That made it feel like we were being singled out based on race, whether intentional or not. To the manager's credit, he was open to the conversation and receptive to hearing our concerns. I appreciate that, and I hope it leads to real reflection and policy review. A policy that only gets enforced selectively -- especially along racial lines -- is not a policy, it's a problem. Food was great. Service otherwise was fine. But equity in treatment matters just as much as ambiance, and I hope this feedback contributes to a better experience for everyone moving forward. read more

Drinks? Great. - Pricy but you can definitely taste the alcohol - Great presentation - The "Can't Afford It" was my group's favorite! Food? Terrible. - Pizzas are runny. Everything falls off of the crust. It's almost like a soup - Noodle dishes are small portions, pasta seems store bought. No truffle flavor in the truffle and wild mushroom rigatoni and felt like they just dumped cream of mushroom on top of noodles. Didn't feel full at all after an entree - Everything doesn't come out at once, and they don't tell you about this ahead of time, so order accordingly -Definitely overpriced for the food quality Service? Super slow. - We came around a not-so-busy time (early evening) and still had to flag the waiter down to take our orders Ambiance? Fun, but a lot. - Super good music selection but it is very loud, and people in response, talk very loud. Was a sensory overstimulation for one of our friends who is sensitive to bright lights. - For brunch, this is the place to take pics. But at night, the pink/red glow from the lights gives bad lighting -Themed bathroom. Big stall has a little powder desk where a lot of girls take pics in. Overall? Definitely a one-time visit for sure. Other stuff... -Little parking lot that is often full, with very limited street parking. - I'd definitely recommend snagging seats on the couch near the window - Crowd is a mix of all ages! But mostly 20-30s read more

We held our engagement party here in the LayLow speak easy and it was phenomenal!!! We chose flamingo deck because of the tiramisu martini (which is my favorite, so naturally we had a tower of them for the party) and the yummy food. I didn't get a pic of the pizza but they were divine. They NAILED it. Mercedes and Sierra were communicative, involved, so cute & so kind. They personalized everything and were so helpful with set up, take down, and coordination before & during. We couldn't recommend this enough for an event!! read more

Came here in September for a friend's bday. Food was pretty good but it was insanely crowded and loud. Also, it is a Miami Dolphins bar. The vibes on the website seem very posh, but it was giving slightly chaotic vibes (perhaps because it was a game day). I would potentially dine here again. read more

Fun spot to get drinks at, after a long day hanging out the beach. Location: There is plenty of seating in the restaurant and is located in a plaza that has a decent size parking lot. I would say, it is on the louder end, so it's not a place where you can sit and comfortably talk. The decoration and the vibes are nice though. It's has a very trendy vibe. Food: The food here was okay. The portions are pretty small for the price you are paying. I also wouldn't necessarily the say the food was all that good. It got the job done. I would recommend getting the pizza over the pasta. It seems like you get more bang for your buck that way. The best thing we ordered was the meatballs. Drinks: The adult drinks here are good! All their cocktails were super tasty and the beers and everything was reasonably priced. I liked the tiramisu expresso martini, it had a nice twist to it. Service: Service here was okay. We were somewhat of a big group (6 people) and I would say we did not get checked on quite as much as other tables either. However, our food did come out pretty fast. Overall, it's a good place to chill and grab some drinks. read more

Bella was our server! She was amazing and very helpful. Love this place. definitely go back. Our fav was the $10 pasta on Thursdays

more san diego content!! i want to start out by saying, the food was fine, good even, but the service was really bad hence the lower rating. our waitress rarely came to our table the whole time we were there. she didn't really seem to care about her job or customers and we just had really terrible service. it was like we were inconveniencing her. despite this, the food was pretty good. the chicken parm sandwich (first slide) tasted good, but the bread was pretty soggy so a little weird texturally. the chicken pesto sandwich was fire. no complaints there. it was so simple yet done really well and was great. portions sizes were also great. i choose to believe the terrible service was a fluke and would be willing to give this place another try. read more

My boyfriend and I dropped in for lunch today and had a genuinely good experience from start to finish. The food and drinks hit the spot, but Steve's exceptional service is what set the whole visit apart. He was warm, attentive without hovering, and kept everything running smoothly so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. Because of Steve, Flamingo Deck is now on our go-to list--we'll definitely be back. Thanks Steve! You are the best! read more

Not sure why my friends review was taken down but when we ate here a few weeks ago there were cockroaches that ran across the table, it was disgusting. The manager was the most unhelpful and blamed it on being "outside" even tho we were eating inside.... Also even if you had an outdoor restaurant, you still shouldn't have roaches run across where people are eating??? Seems like common sense to me. 0 stars do not go here read more

honestly was expecting more when coming in here, they were disorganized and messy, when we got seated and got our drinks, the cups were disgusting you could still see the residue from the last drink in it and also hairs in the drinks. We asked to be moved because it was too cold where they' seated us. They moved us to a booth in the sun NEXT TO THROWUP, the smell was distracting and ruined our appetites. The sad part is that the only person who seemed to care was the busboy who had to clean up the throw up, the waitresses didn't care and they were dismissive. Also, when we got moved the waitress that we had asked us to pay for the service before we got our food and drinks, they didn't offer to give us a refund or anything. Not to mention the booth that they moved us to in the sun also had black mold on it. read more

Came here for a girl's happy hour and had a great time! They have super cute, instagram worthy decorations and a beautiful outdoor deck that's perfect for the summer. It's also located next to the beach so you can take an after dinner stroll to walk off the delicious pizza that is on their HH menu. All handtossed pizzas on their regular menu are $10 during HH, which lasts until 7 PM. I ordered the truffle mushroom one and it was sooo good. The crust is perfectly crispy & thin, slathered in a cream sauce, with mushrooms & onions layered on top. They also let you make modifications within reason to any pie. One friend opted out of the prosciutto on her pizza while another was able to make hers vegan by excluding the cheese. Service was good and everything arrived quickly. Overall a solid spot and I would def visit again. read more

Flamingo deck is a cutie spot with lots of good ambiance. If you're looking for fun girly time or a cute date spot, this is the place! Food and drinks are cute but a little pricey. Parking is underneath the structure, but it is for a fee so that is a bummer. read more

I came here for happy hour with my bestie and it didn't disappoint!!! The drinks were decently spiked and the food was good too!!! My bestie had a Moscow mule and said it wasn't watered down. My skinny margarita was also well balanced. For food we had the standard calamari and it was perfectly crisp and fishy. The portion was good enough for three of us but we had to get more apps to feel full. We tried the pear salad and it was good, even though I'm not an arugula fan it paired well with the sweet pear slices and balsamic sauce. The place is decorated very cute with pink flamingos and cabanas that give that tropical feel. Bonus is that it's on the beach!!! You can walk off your drinks in mission beach!!! Highly recommend this bar when in mission beach!!! read more

Really amazing food! The reviews underestimate this place. We came at around 7pm where it was medium busy and we got sat down immediately. It was right at around sunset too, so the view was just amazing. We started with the calamari, and it was a big portion! Tasted super good, crunchy and the tartar sauce was great. We also tried the meatballs... and I'm extremely impressed. The bread was cooked amazing and the meatballs were perfect (sauce was amazing.) For the entrees, we had the margarita pizza and the mushroom pizza. The margarita was amazing. The crust was perfect, dough was great, and overall the pizza was great. The mushroom pizza the same; crunchy on the crust, good seasoning, and a great portion. Overall, I really recommend this place. This really was one of my favorite restaurants I had on my quick trip to San Diego! read more

We made reservations for a celebration. We said that there was an infant and 2 kids. When arriving we were greeted with open hostility and told our reservation would not be honored. DO NOT GO WITH CHILDREN THEY ARE ABUSIVE TO FAMILIES. read more

Food was okay, we ordered calamari and that was good but the poke was chewy. We saw many others ordering the margherita pizza and that looks pretty good so we'll try it next time. Service was good as well, but they do automatically charge you a service fee so don't mistake that as gratuity. We made the mistake and waiter asked if we plan to tip so we tipped cash instead. Ambiance is good for evening fun drinks. It dog friendly during the day indoor and outside so that was nice. Gets packed at night and no dogs allowed at night. read more

This is a neat place to drink. Cocktails here are great! Fun energy, good background music. Not to loud able to have a conversation Service is average to slow depending on the crowd. It's the PB bar scene. Tried the charcuterie ... loads of meat and cheese, so not lacking in substance and maybe I expected too much from a cocktail bar. The board was cracked badly on the seams and not oiled well. It came with a small butter knife not a cheese knife, ingredients were average, charcuterie ingredients (quality vs quantity) should accentuate each other and the wine, some good opportunities are missed here. Overall This is an interesting cocktail bar with some good menu items and fun decor. read more

Saw this place on Instagram months ago and wanted to try it when I came back to town to visit. Such a cute place with nice decor and a very chill vibe. We sat outside because it was such a nice day and our waitress was nice and friendly. We weren't sure of what to order and the waitress was very patient with us. I was surprised it wasn't busy on Sunday when we arrived around noon, but it was Father's Day so maybe that's why. We ordered French toast and the steak and eggs, along with bloody Mary's and cocktails. Everything was good but my steak was not medium rare like I had asked, it was overcooked and had no pink inside at all. It was hard to eat because of this and it was so chewy and rubbery. Everything was good besides my steak. Not sure if I'll be back for the food but I did love the cocktails. read more
