    I had a group of friends from out of town here for dinner last night. Everyone had the best time. We listened to great music, ate good food and enjoyed the fun space that had been recently holiday decorated. We are planning to come back next weekend for bunch. Thank you, Queenstown Public!

    Wow oh wow!!!! This place is incredible!!! Sophia and Ariel were fantastic! They were fun and attentive. The food is beyond amazing, we tried a half order of the biscuit and gravy and entrées of the Quiche and BLT, all were so fresh and so flavorful! Keep in mind, their portions are huge. Whether you live in the area or just visiting this is a MUST! If you’re going for brunch, make sure you have a reservation. We cannot wait to visit San Diego again and this will be top of the list of places to eat.

    Excellent food and excellent service. Sammy was the best—so helpful with her recommendations and provided too notch service. We had the spring greens side salads, fish and chips, meat pie dinner, and the parlor pot pie as well as the the lemon parfait for dessert—everything was delish! Would probably go here weekly if I was from the area. So many great choices.

    I planned going to this restraunt for 2 weeks for me and my husbands trip. The ladies serving us were so sweet! But we got “The Cure” and the biscuit was as hard as a rock, even the gravy couldn’t moisten it up. The chicken was okay, shockingly spicy. And the eggs needed some sort of seasoning on them. The tador taughts were surprisingly good! But I guess don’t judge a book by its cover, I say the obiense and it was gorgeous. So I chose it mainly based on that. Hopes this helps anyone ❤️

    Service and ambiance was great. Drinks were over priced, and beet salad was 99% beets. Not a salad.
