I joined my friend here on the weekend and we shared sooo much great food. Thursday through Sunday the kitchen is open with a lot of great plates. We started with a White Chocolate Lavender Mocha (yeah it taste as good as it sounds) and a Hot Cocoa, because it was a chilly day in San Diego. Starbucks has nothing on this barrista! They were tasty and Instagram-worthy. We shared a Veggie Breakfast Bowl, with sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, an egg and mustard see topping. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and the flavors made me feel good for eating healthy. But then the Raspberry-Lemon Pancakes showed up, and I decided to make it a Cheat Day! Fluffy and flavorful, and topped with pistachios. We also grabbed an Heirloom Tomato Sandwich, and of course we added bacon! It was stacked and tasted wonderful. The sides of potato salad and caprese salad had trouble competing at this table of food, but they really were great additions to the flavors. We had to try some of the pastries, so we had Strawberry and Key Lime cupcakes and a mixed berry danish. This is a great hidden gem, and the ladies running it were so friendly and helped us with our selections. Imperial Beach is a painless drive down south with a great pier and beach area, and this place makes a great start to your beach day!

This place is absolute garbage. Such a huge Disappointment. I guess they thought if they put a "Posh/hipster vibe" in the menu items, they would have a hit restaurant. GARBAGE read more

We tried the Ethiopian coffee. We did not like it lol. We miss Red Roof. This is just another cali hipster restaurant. We would not try again. read more

When I walked into Millport, I was so blown away by all the beautiful pastries. I literally had to buy one of everything. Staff members work, extremely friendly and helpful. The portions were astounding. The quality was incredible and I love the attention to detail of making the food look beautiful. My daughters were all gluten-free couldn't tell the pastry were gluten-free and had a really nice time indulging in them. Definitely come and check this place out. read more

The Diner bowl was so delicious. It is a hidden gem in Imperial Beach. If you're looking for good breakfast food, give it a try. The Strawberry Muffin was also good. Staff was friendly and the outdoor patio was lovely. Will be back the next time I visit. read more

Love this place and the salty AF motto! Food is fun, interesting, and delish. Love the Neat bread and butter, their pizzas, and different monthly salad and taco specials. Everything is fresh and Alynn really has a gift of combining ingredients that complement each other and bring out the flavors. And the house sangria! Bomb! read more

Alynn & Emmie are the most raddest human beings on this planet. The Farmers Bagel on a Jalapeño bagel is my boyfriends & i Sunday ritual. NOTHING they create disappoints, if i could 100+ stars i would. If you want something savory but with a twist Millport is YOUR spot On a side note : they're a local small business that have meals for everyones diet - from carnivore to vegan ! read more

Holy moly... this place was so good! Such a new hidden gem. I was so impressed with how clean the restaurant was and how serious they are about staying covid compliant. They wore masks and gloves and had a very good ordering system to keep everyone away from each other and safe. You can tell they cared about public health and safety. We had dinner (I ordered 3 things cause I couldn't decide) and I came back the next morning for breakfast with my kids. They loved EVERYTHING! For dinner I had 3 items that I am usually very picky with: -lobster Mac n cheese: after living in New England I have been obsessed with this dish. The lobster was perfect (and not rubbery like some places) and the cheese had such a great flavor. The bacon was such a great flavor bonus! -Shrimp and Grits: the happy surprise here was the perfectly cooked fried green tomato on top. I am so picky with my fried green tomatoes and these were exactly how I like mine. Crunchy on the outside and the tomato was cooked al dente on the inside. The grits and shrimp were excellent. -beef short ribs: this was my top fave. The balsamic glaze was great (I'm a balsamic snob) and the short ribs were perfectly tender on the inside and seared to perfection on the outside. That just elevated the dish! I now want my short ribs to be seared always. For breakfast I had the Avocado Toast on sourdough and it blew me away. It was huge and full of veggies. I was feeling heavy from all of the dinners I ate the night before (I swear I shared some with my family) and the veggies really made me feel great. The asparagus was tender with a little crisp, the pickled onions on top were so good (I've been craving them) and the balsamic glaze was the icing on the cake (always need the acid on avo toast)! To drink I had the beet lemonade for dinner and breakfast. So good and I crave it as well! My kids had the hot chocolate (I stole some and it was a good cocoa that they used) and some pastries. They were in kid heaven. I'll be coming back soon for brunch with my girlfriends! read more

Millport - Avocado toast on sourdough - American Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. My friend and I both got sick and vomited after dining here. The bread is stale. The food took about an hour and a half to come out. I tried the polenta and I basically took a few bites and it such an awful after taste that I nearly spit it out and stopped eating. The waitress asked me if I liked it and I told her it tasted too salty and that I felt sick after eating it. She removed the plate. She returned and said the following: "this might seem weird but I actually went and tasted your food and there's no salt in it. Clearly you aren't adjusted to the sauce we use so next time you come in you need to state your salt preferences." What???? She charged me for everything and made it seem like it was my fault for not liking something. I did not ask her to remove the charge but I thought it would be common courtesy. This place is horrible. Stay away. Expensive and the food makes people sick! read more

One my favorite restaurants ever. Love that the menu changes every month to include farm fresh food. I have never had food combinations like they do here. read more

The food is exceptional in flavor, but often, it's too artsy and very hard to actually enjoy. As an example, I had the cauliflower tacos the other weekend and while they were delicious, they instantly fell apart and had to be eaten with a fork and knife. My husband had a bagel sandwich that he also had to deconstruct. The service is also pretty slow so be sure to have some time available when visiting. read more

This place is a hidden gem! So happy a place like this opened up in IB. I truly hope that it becomes a mainstay that is open for more days and longer hours. We had the clam bake and cheese platter and they were both SO good! Coming from New England, I would say that this was better than anything I've had there. It's refreshing to see talent in food and someone who cares about their craft. The quality and originality is apparent. Highly recommend this place! read more

Service was pretty good! The wait was 30 minutes but that's to be expected with how busy they can get on. Saturday morning especially with one window. But the food was definitely worth the wait! Delicious and a good size portion! We got 2 eggy sandwiches and an açaí bowl. Definitely planning to make this place a regular!! read more

Mill port is an excellent spot! Discovered today. Had an amazing seafood salad sandwich loaded with shrimp and lobster. Fabulous flavor. So fresh and wonderful. Pal had the largest and most tasty lox on jalapeño bagel and cream cheese sandwich. Both of us LOVED our choices. Want to return for specialty coffees and deserts and cookies. All cookies sold out. New fav spot. Can't wait to go back. read more

Just wow! Went to Millport for breakfast today and it did not disappoint. I got the swine bowl and it was just an amazing concoction of flavors. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Millport - Swine Bowl - American Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

I'm so glad my we finally got to visit this spot. The place was open with outside patio seating. We were greeted with with enthusiasm and good vibes which is always a plus for me when it comes to customer service. The cashier also seemed excited to answer any questions and gladly gave an in depth description and I was grateful for that. We decided to take stuff togo because we thought the day was warmer than it was. When we ordered we got the the cold brew, a coconut oat milk latte and an apple juice. The cold brew was cold brew. The latte was a tad bit on the extremely sweet side so next time I will ask for less sweetener but the lavender rosehip latte looked yummy so I may want to try that next time. My son was a happy camper with his apple juice. For breakfast we got the BASIC the POWER and the ROOTS with a side of some fireeeeeee pumpernickel bread and sourdough. Sooo the foood was amazinnnnggg.. the roots had this super tasty curry aoli, greens, eggs, beets, potatoes, and we added chicken sausage. The curry aoli made the dish that much more flavorful and I wanted to just drive back for more sauce hah. I would say ordering to go or even in house next time I'll ask for Sauce on side so I have more control but I did not mind that it was smothered all over because it was delicious. The Power had chards, eggs, quinoa, goat cheese, asparagus, avocado, potatoes and tofu and everything really worked together but in my opinion It was the goat cheese for me! The basic was pretty basic. Also I did feel like it was a little heavy on the salt side. The only thing I feel like I didn't really care for was the chicken sausage. I really wanted a typical breakfast sausage. Maybe patties or I dunno like a small breakfast link but it wasn't bad and it was still eaten. I did feel like it was a sausage for a fancy hot link or a Jambalaya. I usually love large portion sizes to share or for left overs but I did feel bad throwing a lot alway so I felt a little over served. I know who complains about that. I just feel guilty throwing food away. Next time I can order two and share with the three of us rather than getting three items. Overall my experience was a great one and we'll definitely be back. I also wanted to note that I think this is a place where you really have to appreciate nutrients and flavorful dishes so I think it's a perfect spot for foodies, people who appreciate a nutritious meal and people who love flavor. Thank you for serving my family breakfast :) read more

Went there the other night for the "New England Clam Bake". The seafood was cooked perfectly, along with the potatoes, corn on the cob and the spicy sausage. I would highly recommend this place as the food was "excellent" ! ! ! read more

Neat Underground at the Red House kitchen was a very pleasant experience. The food was cleverly creative, thoughtfully prepared, and warmly served. We tried a saucy meatloaf, farmer's market tacos, a gorgeous cheeseboard, and the kids had pasta exactly how they like it - - simple, with butter. I was also especially pleased by the beer selection. Instead of boring old tipples like Corona or Heineken the beer selection had Novo Brazil ales (a local brewery) and Mikkeller, among others. The desserts were crowdpleasers, and the menu changes monthly. And as the weather warms (the space is an outdoor covered annex to the main restaurant), there won't be a more delightful place for dinner in all of Imperial Beach. Run, don't walk! read more

So sad to see RHK go during this tough year but Millport gives amazing life to such a beloved establishment! The food is unique and delicious. Love all the gluten free and vegan options. Perfect addition to IB. read more

Chef Alynn and Emmi not only make you feel like you're home while visiting, but pump out some of the best food! I absolutely love their gluten free pastry options and you've got to try a delicious craft coffee to pair with them! read more

My review is long overdue at this point, Neat Underground is by far the best spot in I.B. and one of my favorite restaurants in the entire San Diego area as well! The food is beyond delicious and with a seasonally rotating menu there is always some new, amazing dish to try. Personally I think the menu is the PERFECT blend of rich and indulgent, and bright and fresh ingredients. They use tons of fresh locally sourced herbs in their dishes which I adore also. Pre COVID we dined in and the service was amazing, Chef Alynn & her partner Emmi ran a two woman show by themselves most nights and the wait times for food were still no longer than what I experience at tons of larger kitchens on a busy weekend night. They are such a sweet team and their passion for what they are doing shows! Ordering to go food has always been a great experience also, with an easy system for contactless pickup, and the food somehow still looking beautiful in to go containers. As if the top notch food quality wasn't enough, the portions are also huge when compared to other restaurants that are serving similar cuisine at similar price points. Check out Neat if you are looking for a 5 Star experience in the South Bay Area, you won't regret it! read more

Great food, great service, friendly staff; I just can't say enough great things about this place. They have a unique little shop as well. My friends and I that stopped in, have all worked/work in high end restaurants, and we are very impressed!! We will definitely be back! read more

We ordered the Thanksgiving dinner to go. It was great. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, carrots, cranberry sauce, and a salad!! We got the dinner box for two and there was plenty for leftovers I would definitely get this again. Plus no pots, pans, or fuss to clean up after read more

The new owners are so awesome!! They were super welcoming and professional. The food is delicious and the outdoor atmosphere felt so homey. We're stoked to make this our weekly spot! read more

So delicious every time!! The chef thinks outside the box and comes up with delicious creations! I am never disappointed and I eat here regularly! Stay buttery and salty af ladies! read more

Chef Alynn is amazing! We ordered to-go fish chowder last night which was the most delicious soup I have ever tasted with a variety of local fish, including a generous amount of shrimp and different fillets. Alynn's combination of seasonings and ingredients make all her dishes unique and so delicious. I am from The Bay Area and make it a point to visit Neat Underground each time I visit San Diego! read more

Cute little spot, the wait time was a little longer than expected. But overall great customer service! The food was good, I'm not a big fan of dressing, therefore next time I'll order it on the side. Great portion as well. Wished they had more gluten free options. read more

Hubby and I love this place. If you don't like delicious food and great service, you should probably go somewhere else because that's what you're going to get. And that's ok with the rest of us, more food for us to enjoy. As for the three reviews of one star...bye Felicia read more

Pre-pandemic, we had the pleasure of dining in a few times. Located in the Red House Restaurant, this extraordinary pop-up has morphed during these crazy times into a wonderful take-out . We travel 25 miles each way to come enjoy Chef Alynn's amazing cooking, and tonight was no different. My partner-in-crime ordered the Lobster BLT with Old Bay Salt Potatoes and enjoyed it thoroughly. Large, chunky pieces of lobster with crisp, perfectly done bacon was fabulous. Our visiting niece ordered Chip and Randy's Pasta and it disappeared before any of the rest of us got a bite, but she said it was terrific. I enjoyed the Fried Green Tomato burger that was juice and had so many wonderful goodies on top. Scrumptious! We ordered the Neat Summer Salad and an extra order of Old Bay salt potatoes and both were flavorful and a treat. So much food---we have some for tomorrow, too. Chef Alynn and Emie make it easy to pre-order and they bring it out so there is no contact--all very safe during these pandemic times. Give yourself a treat, give them a call, and enjoy their fabulous summer menu. Definitely worth it. read more

I never write reviews but I had to for this place. First of all, the food was phenomenal. Literally. Phenomenal. We had the ravioli in a black garlic cream sauce that was delicious. The salmon tacos were epic. I can't even tell you what was in them but they were amazing. The service was great and the vibe of the place was totally unlike any other dining experience. I had never been to a "pop-up" restaurant before. Chef Alynn even came out and talked with us. It's a super small operation with really big taste! Their menu changes monthly so I will definitely be back soon! If I could give more stars I would. Loved it. read more

I've never missed a month since they opened and don't plan to miss a month anytime soon. Chef Allyn makes the most amazing salads with the freshest ingredients. The appetizers are always something special and the pricing is very fair considering the locally sourced ingredients. Every entre I've ever had has been well prepared... from pasta, short rib... several types of fish and one of my personal favorites the lobster grilled cheese. If you are looking for service similar to a chain restaurant with robotic staff ... you won't find it... but what I have experienced whether it was a neighbor, chef's niece, or her delightful girlfriend Emi is that the service is genuine... people that are doing their best to please you. read more

We drove in from La Jolla. The reviews peaked our curiosity so we dove in. I'm so glad we did. Alynn, the chef, cooked us a delicious meal. My man and I couldn't even speak because we just wanted to eat. We are the butter potato and best bread appetizers. The raw garlic and fresh herbs on the bread was outstanding. We recorded to give the mystery burger a go. It was Devine with pork belly and lots of yummy blue and cheddar cheese. We also tried the Cajon shrimp ravioli---- so delicious as well. We will be returning and I got on her social medical pages because i heard her chefs table events are to die for. Thank you Alynn and staff!!! Serve it up, Tamara Renee read more
