    Great brunch place. Parking is minimal, but we got lucky. Portions were good. We will be going back and hopefully find a spot.

    Skip it. Overrated, crowded, expensive. Unless that’s your jam.

    The food was delicious. This is the spot to “Go-To” on Friday nights for their Prime Rib. Best looking Prime Rib I have seen in a while. My wife and her friend absolutely loved it. Recommended with Au-Juis on the side. I had their Salted Carmel Ribs and they were outstanding. Josh and Leslie were terrific. The Key Lime Pie was also amazing.

    Everything was great as always! Our server Marcos was excellent, polite and very attentive. Thank you Marcos!! Food was delicious, had the Tuileries Turkey Burger, Street Tacos(fish for Fridays) and we tried the Portabello Mushroom Fries. We usually order the Pistachio Brie, the mushrooms were a nice change, the pest aïoli was mouthwatering, and used some of it on the turkey burger. We ended up getting an Apple Pie to go, which was delectable!! 5 stars!!

    A Brunch Delight - Great Maple in San Diego offers a fantastic brunch experience. Despite the peak brunch hour crowd on Saturday, we were promptly seated, thanks to the incredibly accommodating hostess who graciously adjusted our reservation. The service was impressively quick, and the staff was not only friendly but also offered excellent suggestions. The portions are generous and well worth the price. We thoroughly enjoyed the chilaquiles, "pig in a blanket," and the French toast log. The mimosa flight was also a highlight! It's safe to say we've become huge fans of their signature maple syrup. Overall, Great Maple provides a delightful diner-style atmosphere with outstanding food and value. Highly recommended!
