"4/5. AMAZING ambiance. This is the reason the lines are long. Some people think it's over-hyped, and yes, the food isn't stellar, but still enjoyable I tried the lobster benedict, German pancake, and the souffle pancakes. The egg for the lobster benedict was cooked perfectly and the lobster was pretty tasty although the lobster pieces could have been larger. The soufflé pancakes were very fluffy and had a great texture. The pancake needed some additional flavor to make it special, maybe some fruit sauce. The German pancakes were surprisingly good. The inside was very eggy, and surprisingly savory. "

"The most instgramed spot in San Diego has to be Morning Glory. This boujie and super extra spot is for those seeking the perfect photo opp. The food a drink here lives up to the hype, expext delicous cocktails, and special menu items perfect to show off. There are no reservations allowed and the line can be brutal, 3+ hours sometimes. We HIGHLY recommend skipping this on the weekend and going early midweek.
