My first time at here and it will not be my last. I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. My friend recommended it to me and it did not disappoint. The vibes were fun and they played all the best songs. It was right up my alley. I was solo and sat at the bar. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The decor was one of my favorites I’ve seen so far. This was located in Little Italy. As I had read this place can get packed and always has a line. I did not have to wait too long I got there early and it was during the week but when I left the line was getting long. I know why! lol I can’t wait to go back and try more of the dishes

Finding the place is honestly the trickiest part. The restaurant is located on the second floor, up a flight of stairs, and the signage is not helpful at all, which can make it confusing on your first visit. Once you get upstairs though, everything quickly turns around. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and we ended up checking in and sitting at the bar. The bar seating is a bit tight, but Bre was an absolutely amazing host and made the experience feel comfortable and enjoyable despite the limited space. Super attentive, friendly, and genuinely pleasant throughout. The menu itself is a work of art, an intricate skull illustration surrounded by vivid pink florals and flowing handwritten accents on a black backdrop. Bold, edgy, and unforgettable. What we ordered: Soufflé pancakes with berries – incredibly light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet Lobster omelette – rich, flavorful, and well executed Crispy hash browns – golden, crunchy, and addictive A couple of coffees and freshly squeezed orange juice ( they happened to have fresh grapefruits for juicing as well) to round it out Overall, a fantastic brunch spot with excellent food and standout service. Clearer signage and slightly more breathing room at the bar would help, but the hospitality especially from Bre more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a visit when you’re in San Diego!!

Maximalist dining at its finest. This restaurant was a trip from start to finish—in the best way possible. We came on a Friday morning and sat in the open-air part of the bar, which was delightful. From our spiked coffees to our bunch plates to the sticky bun muffin I 100 percent needed in my belly, everything was tip top. The service was spot on and the servers were very cool. My only complaint is that there are too many good things on the menu that I couldn't try all at once—and I'm not just talking the plates you'd expect. There are some truly unique and unexpectd gems. Go check it out!!

Morning Glory was a great restaurant to eat at during brunch hour. We were told at 10:30 that we would have to wait an hour for a party of two when in fact we waited until 12:15. Once inside you're greeted with a huge opening with a beautiful dining area/bar. The atmosphere of this restaurant is very much hipster meets Wicked. The food was worth the wait. My chicken and waffles has just the right amount of sweet and savory. Each bite of the chicken was delicious. My wife ordered the souffle pancakes. The souffle pancakes are literally like biting into cotton candy! Airy and sweet with a kick of butteriness. This restaurant works with Open Table so make that reservation ahead of time or you'll be waiting longer than expected as a walk in party.

Morning Glory was such a unique and delicious spot for enjoying some high-quality weekend brunch! They only do walk-ins for the most part, so we came in the afternoon and added ourselves to the waitlist - initially, we were told it'd be around 45 minutes, but we ended up getting seated less than 10 minutes later! It was just two of us so we were seated at the bar, but we didn't mind. If there's anything I'd wish could be changed/improved, it'd be more table seating options - especially for couples/smaller parties, but I understand that they also have to work within the space that they have available. As for the food itself, service was very prompt and friendly with taking our order - I got the Breakfast Carbonara pasta, while my partner got their Breakfast Sando. Both of these items were absolutely delicious - very unique flavors and a few creative ingredients, but it also wan't TOO crazy and everything went together just right. My Breakfast Carbonara was deliciously silky smooth, creamy, and delectable to eat up! I also loved that it had just a hint of very subtle heat in it from some chili oil, but nothing that was overpowering in any way. It was just the right amount portion wise and just a delight with every bite into the pasta bowl! I also loved the Breakfast Sando - it was big and hefty but holds together well while eating! The crispy onions added a nice crunch to the sausage, cheese, and other ingredients within it. I was also very pleased with the prices! Very reasonable, with both the food entrees and the cocktails all being under $20 and most of them under $15! Speaking of cocktails, I highly recommend the Goldstein's Orange Joolius - especially if you love a creamy, fruity drink! It was nice and big, tasting kind of like a very elevated and way more complex Pina Colada type of drink! Morning Glory is definitely worth checking out for brunch/lunch & I'd be happy to return on future visits to San Diego!
