The plan was to drive straight to SD to have brunch in pacific beach, unfortunately traffic decided to pile up making it dreadful so we decided to stop and found this place on Yelp.

I was able to check in online so as soon as I arrived my table was ready. The service and the vibe inside is welcoming, right by the beach on a nice clear day.

I got a short rib Benny and man o man was 10/10! We also had 2 mimosas (not pictured) lavender lemonade and hibiscus.

I would definitely return.

My favorite was the smoked brisket hash. The rest of the food was also great, but the stuffed french toast was too sweet for our taste, so if you have a sweet tooth, def recommend!! The plain jane was indeed plain so if you're into the simpler stuff def pick that!
And the lavender lemonade was not to our taste either, but the server was incredibly kind and let us switch out the drink if we decided we weren't into it, which we did. The staff were all really nice.
The ambience was super pretty too! We had brunch and it was lovely with the open windows and decor to have an outing with friends.

Arrived her for eats and lattes, and while the area was bustling with tourists due to IM 70.3 - getting seated was less than a few minutes' wait.

Service: subpar as our waiter barely if ever came around and we had to flag down other's go help, which affected tip, which at this point tipping has gotten overrated even more so when it starts at 18% and then goes to 20%, 25%, 30% and finally with the option to custom to not included a 5% overall surcharge the restaurant charges everyone, regardless. My table opted to give very little, via custom, due to lack or service, forgetting to provided ordered items, and the used glass of water with lipstick on the glass.

I honestly don't think any of us will return after today.

This is my second time coming here and I love this place! Their food never disappoints. The four dishes we got were all their crowd favorites and we could definitely tell why!

I think my favorite was the Chilaquiles or one of the Benedict's. The truffle potatoes that come with the Bennys are unmatched, I would order just a side of those again!

The service is quick and attentive and you can join the waitlist through Yelp which is super convenient.

The place is located right by Oceanside Pier and has a cute ambiance. It's right next to Parlour donuts which is also a favorite of mine!

Paid Parking garage right behind the restaurant.
The food was great (generous serving sizes) there is a grand selection of items to choose from.
Our server Jack was great! Super attentive and made sure everything came out in a timely manner.
The ambiance is lively and I love all the bright natural lighting. A perfect brunch spot for the girlies or families!
After you're done with your meal you can walk down the street to the beach!

Downtown Oceanside street front building. There's a parking structure that's part of the building, but not sure if they validate. We found free street parking across the street, so got lucky. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly outside. Full service, sit down restaurant. Fast and friendly service! Looks like they take reservations via Yelp and you can also join the waitlist. Recommended if you plan to go during prime time.

Kinda pricey, but at least large quantities! I got the brisket hash (subbed egg whites and added bread for a bit extra for both), and a creamsicle mimosa. Loved both! Most of my party had leftovers, but I must've been starving and/or the food was just too good to leave any behind! Around $40 for my meal and drink with tax and tip added and estimated (paid as part of a larger bill as of March 2024).

I rarely notice (much less go to the trouble of pointing out) bad service. decades of dining at mom-and-pop Thai and Chinese places has dulled my sensibilities. helps that I usually like the food too much to care.

after being seated, we waited more than twenty minutes before the hostess wandered over and asked if we'd been helped. I nearly never whine about service (makes me crazy to see one-star reviews from narcissistic Yelpers writing "I would have given 'em five-stars for the food but when my water glass was half full, nobody rushed over to refill it). but the nearly total lack of attention from the wait staff really stood out. not liking the food was probably a contributing factor.

the indifference of the servers complimented the efforts of the kitchen staff which could kindly be characterized as lazy and incompetent. in fairness, the Avocado Toast is a recipe problem: the lack of acid left the flavors flat and listless. we took leftovers home and drizzled half with Sicilian lemon balsamic and the other with Persian lime balsamic. big improvement. the wilted pansy (were you wondering about the blackish purple blob decorating the plate?) was a miserable attempt to spruce things up.

we have to take some of responsibility for the failings of the Breakfast Quesadilla. it was an unimaginative bit of ordering. pretty sure it was a holdover from the kiddie menu. not sure what my wife was thinking ...

I really hate ordering hash browns and getting hash beiges. the hard part of the Smoked Brisket Melt got handled: the brisket had flavor, the generous serving of meat and cheese were NOT overwhelmed by the thickly sliced toast but the bread was not toasted, only grilled enough to be wet and soggy. with sourdough from Bread and Cie (the most excellent bakery supplying their bread) that's hard to do.

would have been nice if the sandwich had been toasted enough to melt the cheese, melt's actually in the name, right?

one of my least favorite things is leaving a restaurant feeling like I need to eat something to get the taste of a bad meal outta my mouth (only slightly preferable to getting my junk caught in a zipper, but, since I wear button-fly jeans, that problem's been resolved). Toasted has some work to do to fix their shortcomings. the bar seemed lively and the bartenders engaging. I'm not much of a drinker but maybe the trick is not to eat there sober.

decided NOT to indulge in a little day drinking. we drove through In-N-Out on the way home.
