★ 4Food is extraordinary! We had the French omelette with a side of hash browns, and millennial tears with side of vegan pancake with berries. Everything was so well prepared and served beautifully. Special shout out for the cocktails - I had something called spice up your life and wow, the balance of chili in that drink was amazing!
The bigger question is - is it worth the wait? Maybe. We waited 45 mins on a Monday afternoon (1 pm). The wait isn’t just because of long lines which wasn’t the case at this hour on a weekday, but that the clean up of tables was so slow that they couldn’t seat people fast enough. We could see 2 tables clear up and nobody bussed it for 15 mins even though we were #1 in waiting line on OpenTable. That part was frustrating! Just clean tables quickly so people can be seated faster. It’ll do you well. -

★ 5We had been looking forward to dining at Morning Glory for a while now, and it’s not disappoint. My wife had the incredible soufflé pancakes, and I had a classic eggs Benny. Both were some of the best food we had eaten in San Diego in a long time that wasn’t Mexican or seafood. I was going to have a coffee, but then I caved into my wife and had a passionfruit mimosa, and then another. We were very grateful to be able to sit at the bar outside, and our bartender was incredible, and hospitable. We will definitely be back on our next trip to San Diego to visit my family.

★ 5We were visiting San Diego and heard of these amazing soufflé pancakes and were lucky to get in after 1.5 hours(literally…thankfully there was farmer’s market there so we could wait for it) It was worth the wait I would say, the soufflé pancakes were amazing, we also had hot chocolate which comes in orange flavour and it was too good, i don’t like orange flavour but somehow this one was super comfy and delicious, highly recommend this hot chocolate. We also had some entrees which were good. I would suggest to make a reservation prior and check in for better viewing seats etc. loved the vibe and the place, very bougie!

★ 5My sister brought me for Mother's day and we knew to go early and we are glad we did. Luckily it was an hour wait. We were seated by the kitchen and loved every minute of it. We had great service and food and drinks were delicious. I want to shout out the kitchen crew and wait staff, they truly are a hard working bunch! Thank you guys for delicious food! We definitely will be back! I can say it truly is worth the wait, get a reservation and go across the street to Parakeet Cafe to chill and people watch until you get called.

★ 2I recently visited Morning Glory, and while I can see why it’s so popular, my experience didn’t live up to the hype.
The decor is undeniably beautiful and very Instagram-worthy, which seems to be a big part of the appeal. However, once seated, I noticed several barstools had worn embellishments hanging off them, which made parts of the space feel a bit run down and not as clean as expected. Even my paper menu was damp and had an unpleasant smell, which wasn’t a great first impression.
The food portions were actually well-sized, not oversized, which I appreciated, and the pricing seemed reasonable for the concept. I ordered the wagyu flat iron steak & eggs (around $30), but unfortunately it came out overcooked and tough to chew. We also ordered the breakfast carbonara, which had mint that felt out of place and gave the dish an unexpected, almost toothpaste-like flavor.
The biggest issue, though, was with their famous soufflé pancake. We added fresh blackberries, but it was served with live fruit fly larvae, which completely ruined the experience for our table. Needless to say, we were all pretty grossed out and couldn’t continue enjoying the meal.
To their credit, management handled the situation kindly and comped our meal, which we appreciated. Still, after a two-hour wait and the overall experience, it didn’t feel worth the time or the anticipation.
Overall, while the aesthetic is pretty, I don’t think I would return or recommend it based on this visit.
