    I had a decent experience here today! My friend made a reservation for an outdoor table. We got sat promptly at our reservation time. We ordered and got our drinks. It was super hot out and the host was super nice to move us inside and she helped us move our drinks inside. I was a little thrown off that the server seemed out of the loop that we moved tables and they almost gave the vibe that we did something wrong. In my experience the host should've communicated to them that we moved so our food would get updated. Anyways, the food came out and I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich (GOAT). They subbed the ham for bacon which I really liked. No complaints with the food. I asked for hot sauce and napkins which came quickly despite how crowded it was. We also got a mimosa pitcher which was refreshing. I'd come again! Parking wasn't bad actually even though it was a holiday.

    Came here on a Sunday at around 8:30am and was sat right away. We ordered the salted toffee iced coffee + brown sugar & cinnamon iced coffee. We enjoyed the brown sugar iced coffee more, the salted toffee had a more subtle taste & just tasted like iced coffee. The food was good, we enjoyed the flavors of the shakshuka (has a tiny kick to it but not spicy overall) and the orange flavor of the pancakes. Service was decent though it took awhile to get our check after we finished our food. It's a cute restaurant but they have a huge fly problem in the summer if you're sitting outside. Not their fault but we did ask to move inside & they just gave us a little fan for the table instead bc the host said it was the same inside. It lasted a few minutes but the battery died. They got us a second one & that one died too...

    Was in town with some friends and we stumbled across Madi for our Sunday brunch!I We loved the retro, cute vibe of the restaurant and service was great despite how busy they were on Sunday. what I tried: - Waffle churro sticks - these were so yummy and fun and perfect for sharing! Comes with a delicious jalepeno-blackberry sauce and a maple cream cheese - The GOAT breakfast sandwich which comes with ham, egg, Swiss and goat cheese, apricot habanero jam. A great sweet and savory combo - Surfer breakfast burrito - includes scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, avocado, chipotle cream. Very hearty and satisfying - Guava elderflower mimosa - super refreshing! they offer pitchers as well Parking: paid parking in the lot or street parking, was definitely tough to find on a Sunday and we had to circle around a bit

    Greek Fries

    Parking is paid & quite expensive so I'd reccomend street parking, tons nearby. Also paid but a fraction of the price. Inside is so cute, loved all the decor & the overall vibe. Service was good & friendly. We made reservations for Saturday morning the night before with no issue. I got the vanilla bean latte which was good but I liked my friends ube matcha more. I got the Greek fries which were decent & we had the ricotta raspberry pancakes which were also good. Also want to try the waffle churro sticks. Overall great brunch spot!

    Madi is such a cute brunch spot with the sweetest vibes! It's located in a plaza with a small shared parking lot, so parking can get a little busy, but having a reservation made everything super easy (there were 8 of us!). The service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and everything felt really welcoming. I tried the ube matcha, which was creamy and delicious! Lots of yummy stuff on the menu for everyone to choose from -- sweet to savory! Overall it was a great place for brunch. Definitely a cute spot to check out when you're in San Diego!

    The orange cinnamon roll pancakes at Madi are fluffy, citrusy, and 100% Gluten free! I still crave them to this day . Service was great and quick. Dining experience reminds of of a modern Denny's If you're looking for a brunch date spot in San Diego with gluten-free options, this is the one!

    Checked out this location for a Saturday brunch that did not disappoint. It was a packed house with an efficient staff and seating for parties of all sizes. Light, airy and full of colors. We ordered the French toast to split, also try the French sticks if you don't want the toast. The menu has something for every flavor. My friend had The G.O.A.T. and I had the Papas Locas. Both were good portions so come with an appetite.

    Brown sugar cinnamon latte and Ube Matcha
    Regina M.

    Cute restaurant for brunch. Food was good but nothing special. Tried the corned beef hash, papas locas, waffle churro sticks, ube matcha, and brown sugar cinnamon latte. The ube matcha was sweet but couldn't really taste the matcha. The brown sugar cinnamon latte had very strong coffee with little to no brown sugar or cinnamon flavor.

    Ube Matcha
    Madison M.

    Such a cute spot for a girls brunch! Service was great, estimated wait was an hour but we got in within 20 minutes for a group of 8 on a Sunday. Everyone really enjoyed their meals; great portions, great variety on the menu. Two of our girls got the Lucky Duck and didn't enjoy it, the mimosa flavors were not strong, as 3 different mimosas were ordered and all tasted very similarly and light. The Ube Matcha was a hit though! Overall, the vibes here were so fun! We would absolutely come here again the next time we're in San Diego.

    The food was great and the staff was very friendly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

    Had a work brunch at Madi in Pacific Beach today, and it was a hit with all six of us. It wasn't busy when we arrived, though I've heard it gets packed on weekends. Parking was straightforward with a small lot and plenty of paid street spots nearby. Dakotah took great care of us. She handled our group's quirky requests with total composure, checked in at all the right times, and even sent a couple of coworkers off with to-go refills. The food was outstanding. One of my coworkers ordered the Poke Bowl Surf Shack, and it looked as good as it tasted -- bright, fresh ingredients piled around a scoop of rice and a side of spicy mayo. Another went for the Surfer Breakfast Burrito, which came with black beans and a choice of salsas. I had the Oklahoma Onion Smash Burger with bacon, served with crispy fries and a cold Mexican Coke. Everything at the table landed well. Coffee was excellent, too. They also add a 5% hospitality fee to the bill, which seems to be a growing trend in San Diego. Overall, a great spot for brunch with friendly service, good vibes, and food that delivers. I'd happily come back.

    Waffle churros

    Our server was wonderful. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so we were able to bring the dogs. We came for breakfast and for me personally, I wasn't dazzled by the menu options, but that's not to say others won't be. It truly is personal preference so I say, give this place a try for yourself. I think it was tricky because I'm a pescatarian and there were a lot of meat items. I ordered the surfer burrito with soyrizo. It was good. I would have preferred it come with sour cream rather than chipotle. We also ordered the waffle churros. Those were good too but they don't give you enough dipping sauce.

    Oh my gosh one of the BEST brunch spots I've ever been to. Every time I go I want to order the entire menu, because everything looks outstanding. Last time I went I got the breakfast burrito and it was amazing. I also got a hot latte and again, just superb. The ambiance and aesthetic of the place is stunning. It's homey and cozy and includes a patio outside. One of my favorite spots ever. I always take visitors here for brunch when they're in town!

    I've been going to World Famous since I was a kid growing up in San Diego. Even though I live out…read moreof state now, I make it a point to dine at World Famous every time I return home. We always request to sit on the patio by the boardwalk to people watch and enjoy the views. The service is always great and food and drinks come out quickly. Food is always fresh and tastes delicious. I have never had a bad meal or cocktail here. On this visit, I ordered a Spicy Mermaid cocktail which is no longer on the menu but luckily they were still able to craft it for me. I also ordered their lobster tacos off the bar menu which are my favorite tacos on the menu. Whether you're a San Diego local or visiting San Diego, World Famous should be on your list of places to dine.

    We have been patrons of this restaurant for more than 20 years, and unfortunately, we have watched…read moreit slowly wither into a shadow of what it once was. What used to be a place we genuinely enjoyed has become run-down, dirty, and disappointing, with noticeably diminished food quality and increasingly terrible service. Tonight's experience was the final straw. We were seated in the bar area for open seating. We waited 12 minutes before my husband finally went to the bar to ask for a server. The bartender said he would send someone over. Another 10 minutes passed, and still no one acknowledged us. We eventually went back to the bar and placed our drink and food order ourselves. It took another 12 minutes for the server to bring our drinks. In the meantime, I had to go to the bar myself to get water and napkins for our table. Our server walked past us at least 10 times without acknowledging us. From the time we were seated until we received our drinks was approximately 47 minutes. It then took 1 hour and 5 minutes to receive our very simple food orders. And unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of attentiveness or apology from our server. There was no acknowledgment of the excessive wait, no effort to make things right, and no sense that our experience mattered. We felt essentially invisible. After more than 20 years of supporting this restaurant, it is incredibly disappointing to see how far it has fallen. The condition of the restaurant, the decline in food quality, and especially the service are simply not what they should be. Save your time and your hard-earned money. If you're in the area, go across the street to the Catamaran instead. You'll be treated like valued customers and, in our experience, receive much better-quality food and far more timely service. We really wanted to love this place again, but sadly, tonight made it clear that those days are gone.

    Highly highly recommend this place if you like savory pies…read more The butter chicken pie was phenomenal! We came by for ice cream and husband is a major fan of pies and when we saw the menu we had to get some. Such delicious butter chicken filling and the pie crust itself was so flaky and perfect. We have had butter chicken pie at a different place before and honestly I had my doubts about this from prior experiences but this was a major 10 on 10! I can imagine how good the other flavors must be! There is sweet and savory pies so something for everyone. Love how they have nice cutesy seating area inside and the service is also very nice.

    Came here for the Stella Jean's ice cream. So good we came back a second time. Ube Pandesal Toffee…read morewas the winner for me, especially with the Banana Turon Crunch. Reminded me of my favorite Filipino treat, Halo-Halo. Hubby went with big with the Piescream on our second visit, we could've shared that one. There was a line both times we visited, but it moved relatively quick. With so many different flavors to choose from, everyone will want to sample before making their final decision. Can't blame them. There's some seating inside and more outside. If you grab a seat outside, the music coming from Mavericks across the way helps set the mood while you enjoy your treats.

    I normally don't go to Pb. Younger crowd.. different vibe. But we decided we would check it out…read more We walked into Pb alehouse I didn't care for the top floor it was way too crowded. We went back down and ordered food and a couple of beers. Service was exceptional, food was delicious and looked gorgeous. Was very impressed by this place! Highly recommend. We ordered ahi tuna nachos 10/10!!!! We also ordered the fish tacos with fries 6/10 I feel as if the fish tacos were lacking a bit of flavor? Maybe a tad overcooked I Evan added the pineapple salsa into it.

    we were excited to watch the world cup at alehouse and had just an ok experience sadly…read more first off, the bouncer was giving off weird energy-- he checked my ID and looked skeptical and laughed which was super strange, i was concerned he thought my ID was fake or something but he eventually let me through. my other friends said he was also weird to them too. we had a large party sitting in the beer garden which was a fun & lively atmosphere to watch the game. there was only one server for the beer garden and at times she was nowhere to be found but if she was out there it was super hard to flag her down because she wasn't looking around. when she did help us, she was a bit rude-- my friend was confused about one of the drink specials, and she gave us some attitude about it instead of just explaining it politely. her energy was just a bit standoffish and annoyed to be there. we thought the food/drinks were just ok-- the fried pickles weren't that good, the moscow mules tasted super off, and we actually had to have them remake it but even then it was still not up to par. the pretzels were good however, and a large portion which was appreciated. we also had a bit of conundrum when paying because she told us she could only do 4 separate checks for a party over 8 people even though we've done individual checks before. it made it a bit stressful to pay and it would have been nice if they just initiate a QR code ordering system or something like that, as the waitress was super hard to get ahold of and it would be easier to just pay as you order instead of trying to split the check with a bunch of people at the end. overall, not sure if i'd come here for another game day- it might have been a one-off but was hoping for friendlier service and better food/drinks. the atmosphere was very fun though so that was appreciated!
