    We had such a wonderful experience at Sunny Side Solana. Due to the heavy traffic from Los Angeles to San Diego, we arrived very late to our reservation, but the owner, Ruddy, was incredibly understanding, kind, and accommodating. He warmly welcomed us and graciously adjusted our reservation from 8 people to 10 without making us feel uncomfortable at all. What truly stood out was not only their hospitality, but also the exceptional quality of the food and the outstanding service. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. The food was truly unbeatable. We genuinely appreciated the care and effort the team put into making us feel welcomed despite our delayed arrival. Thank you again for such a memorable experience. We look forward to coming back for our next adventure soon!

    not on the menu- Plantation Ice tea- Pineapple juice splash ice tea

    Great place for breakfast! Good service. Good vibes. Good food. Short Rib Hash: tender, good flavor, and good portion Wifey ate the special Country Fried Steak. Big portion for her she couldn't finish it. She usually asks for the gravy on the side for this dish. She liked it. She requested the Plantation Ice tea, pineapple juice with a splash of ice tea. Not on menu. Made just like home. Free Parking- In the front and back We will come back whenever in the area.

    Good vibes all around! The food was seriously delicious--everything we tried was flavorful and fresh. The people here are also really friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

    Homemade strawberry jam OMG so good
    Phamhong G.

    I would drive all the way from Chula Vista for a meal here again! We were in the area for an errand, found this restaurant on Yelp and it was amazing. Street parking and a parking lot behind the restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service was good. The banana pineapple French toast was top 3 best French toast I've ever had in my life. Banana and pineapple, never had that combo on French toast before but it was delicious. The bacon was cooked to perfection. The homemade strawberry jam that comes with the toast is DELICIOUS. I wanted to buy some to take home but $8 for the smallest jar was too steep for me. But I look forward to my next visit so I can enjoy all of these things again. I knocked off a star because the fresh squeezed OJ was not filled anywhere close to the top of the glass and was served with ice, so it forced us to drink it fast to prevent it from being watered down. The Arnold Palmer had a great flavor but contained way too much ice. I don't like how they flip their water cups upside down so the rims of the glasses are touching the tables. Yes, they clean/sanitize the tables but I've worked in many restaurants and just don't trust it. But our server was nice and grabbed us new glasses upon our request. Overall, a great dining experience and I can't wait to be back!

    Neapolitan omelette and hazelnut latte
    Stephanie E.

    Our server, Elsi, was so sweet and took our orders very quickly. As soon as we got there we were sat. The restaurant is super cute! The food was excellent and their jam is sooo good! They make everything themselves. They also have a lot of veggie options which is perfect!

    After a hike at Annie's Canyon Trail nearby, my friends, and I stopped by to replenish our energy. I ordered the turkey club sandwich that came with extra crispy French fries. The sandwich was huge and delicious! One of my friends got the vegetable and cheese omelette. I had a bite and thought it was also very delicious! The mint lemonade was very minty and refreshing! We loved the food here and would highly recommend the dishes that we ordered! Our server, Julia, took excellent care of us. We were seated in the outdoor patio and she was very quick to take our orders. Our beverages and food came out faster than we thought, which was great! Friendly service, great value for the huge portions, and fresh & tasty ingredients! Definitely worth a repeat visit!

    Great for brunch! Food taste is very good. The Mac and Cheese, waffle, and steak is good for brunch. We received good service from Luis. I will rate this experience witj 4.5

    Carne Asada Burrito
    Brett M.

    First time I was able to stop and check out Solana Beach. Drove past Sunny Side Solana and it looked really nice. I was the sole patron for a bit, a few other couples came. Had the Carne Asada Burrito from the breakfast menu. Definitely one of the best I have ever had. The server Elsie was very nice too. Thank you!

    Strawberry Dream French Toast
    Patrick P.

    This restaurant serves many classic brunch food with a huge portion and a good price. We ordered a Strawberry Dream French Toast and Turkey Club sandwich and they were good. The service is fast and attentive. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seatings and the vibe is simple and clean. There are many free street parkings but they can get packed with other stores nearby.

    Eggs Benedict, scramble, omelet, breakfast burrito, banana hazelnut pancakes.
    Kathy D.

    The food was delicious! We ordered the breakfast burrito, breakfast bowl, sailor man, and banana Nutella pancakes (these could have used a side small bowl of Nutella for dipping). Also ordered the fresh OJ and iced lattes. Service was super friendly and efficient. Ambiance was so nice sitting outside with the beautiful wall of succulent plants. Pricing was an average of $17 per person. Definitely will return!

    Short rib hash

    My family and I were visiting Del Mar over the weekend for a concert, and decided to stop for brunch on our way out of town. I am so glad that we chose to visit this restaurant because we had an amazing experience! The owner (Ed) was absolutely beyond kind and amazing to us. The table runner/ guy who made our coffee was also exceptionally kind! The food was beyond amazing, and the restaurant itself was such a cute vibe. There were even heaters on the patio which was fantastic, considering it was a rainy/ cool weekend! If I ever find myself in Del Mar again, I will definitely be going back! 10/10 recommend!

    Dined in for brunch on a weekday, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. We were able to find parking on the street pretty quickly, although I think they do have a lot also. Highway 101 can get pretty busy, so after parking can be quite the challenge. There address outdoor seating and indoor seating. Today was a bit on the cooler side, so we opted for indoor seating. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Cute decór on the inside and it looked clean. Served cold water in a bottle, cups already on the table. We ordered the short rib mac and cheese with fried eggs rather than poached, steak and eggs (comes with a side of roasted potatoes and peppers), and the pineapple bananas foster french toast. All 3 items were delicious and gave a good blend of sweet and savory. The portions were pretty good too. We didn't have to wait long for our food or our check either today. Definitely will return!

    Warning: You will want to come back for MORE! The food was delicious! Quality ingredients, fast service for being a busy brunch hour and excellent service! Highly recommended!

Located just blocks away from the water and situated with an amazing view, Naked Cafe has nothing to hide but this hidden gem is off the well traveled highway 101 serving patrons inside and outside of their cozy bungalow-styled establishment. As you arrive (for many by foot), consider seating yourself at one of the many umbrella-shaded tables or venture inside to grab a seat. I saw a few folks with dogs so if you plan to come with your furry friend, the place seems to be well suited for them. For those looking to order takeout, simply walk up to the register and the staff will get you started. Their menu includes a variety of options like wraps, burritos, salads, bowls, tacos, pancakes, and other brunch-like items. Their drink menu is also extensive including alcohol like wines, mimosa and beer as well as coffees, teas and smoothies. You're bound to find something fitting that craving of yours or satisfying the nutrients needed for energizing your metabolism. I ended up ordering the pesto chicken wrap that also came with a side of chips. The wrap was loaded with succulent pieces of chicken and was very flavorful. The whole grain tortilla held up well throughout the meal and had good texture with each bite. The chips that came along were decent - had good crunch but lacked any kind of flavor. Fortunately the salsa came in clutch to kick things up a notch. The portions were also better than I had expected. The staff were friendly, efficient in placing our order and packaging it up, and thorough in fulfilling the order by including utensils and napkins as they handed the order to us. For takeout orders, they had given us an approximate wait time of 15 minutes and it was quite accurate. There wasn't much space to wait near the register so we ended up waiting near the front entrance near the sidewalk but after the 15 minutes, we made our way back to see that our order was in the process of getting packed up. Overall, Naked Cafe is a great spot to grab a light meal or lunch while soaking in so rays. With its open seating area covered only by the umbrellas at each table, you'll bask in the open air while consuming delicious plates made to order with fresh ingredients and healthy and sustainable options. For those with strict diets, you might want to seek this place out and see for yourself. The menu is anything but bare at Naked Cafe!

But today I needed a little extra je ne sais quoi because my morning was annoying, so I decided to splurge on lunch and not just a pastry here. I asked Steve, the (très beau et gentille!) co-owner what the quiche of the day was. There were two: one with jambon (ham) and one with épinards et fromage de chèvre (spinach and goat cheese). When I hesitated, he told me that the spinach one was amazing. Even though it's $20 for a quiche plate, I decided to go for it. I thought I was going to get a sad little quiche slice for that amount and might regret it. But OMG, it was more than worth it! Already they have a lovely patio on this pretty street in this fancy design district. But it was also a HUGE and exceptionally savory rectangular slice, alongside a DELECTEABLE petite salade. I asked Steve what mustard they use in the vinaigrette, and he said plain old Dijon - but the proportions and the seasoning were EXCELLENT. So it was salad perfection, not heavily dressed at all, just delightful. The patio was full on a Friday with ladies who lunch - but did that include me, as a solo diner, since I am a lady who had lunch? I'm not sure, but you can feel comfortable here no matter what. And now I know Madeleine Cafe is much too good to just come for coffee and for ordering in French from Steve or his co-owner Emmanuel. I don't want to spend that much for lunch every day - but I'll be back!
