    Best brunch spot in San Diego! Highlights were the Pork Belly & Eggs and the Holiday brisket hash. Service was great and attentive, they offer almond milk for coffees. Noise level is semi-high but nothing crazy Parking is difficult but normal for Hillcrest area.

    We take my daughter here every year for her birthday. It’s a very special place that has such a vibe. The servers are amazing. The food is so delicious and memorable. I highly recommend the brisket hash and the powdered sugar beignets.

    Our waiter, Justin, was great. My friend kept saying his name over and over....she recently had a horrible waiter at a super high end restaurant, so she was a bit over the top with poor Justin.🤣 The food was phenomenal! We had the special which was a Basil Scallop risotto, which was excellent. We also had an amazing wedge salad. I asked if they had shrimp to add since I wasn’t feeling chicken or salmon. He said sure! I couldn't believe the amount of large tasty shrimp that was added! Most places are stingy and charge like $18 for a few shrimp. Nope, not here. Loads of shrimp and I was shocked when we paid that it was only $8 more! Way to go Great Maple. Already planning a return!

    Great Maple is the best brunch in San Diego. The beef brisket hash, scrambles and French toast are outstanding and service is always attentive and friendly. This is a neighborhood gem!

    Great Maple remains a "must go to" restaurant for my family and friends. Today's experience met expectations for service and food. I introduced 2 friends to Great Maple, and they plan to go back. The beignets sealed it for them. They have their eyes on the maple bacon donuts for the next visit.

    Truly a fantastic experience ! Mushroom Parmesan fries were memorable! Caesar salad was best we ever had, and fresh toast logs with buttermilk fried chicken and gravy were a real treat for dinner! Will be back when whenever we visit San Diego!

    We love Great Maple for brunch, but this was our first time going for dinner. It was amazing! The holiday decor made for such a fun ambiance after seeing The Grinch in Balboa Park. Food was delicious. Holidays cocktails were jolly. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!
