Sunny Side Solana

Nice restaurant serving delicious food, but the waiter we had was not up to par, unfortunately. When the 3 of us were done with our meal and asked for the check, the waiter came over, saw that I had my credit card in my hand, looked at his wireless point of sale device, and said, “Your bill is $67.86,” without giving me the device. I wanted to compute the tip based on the pretax total, so I replied, “Sure, I’d like to see the bill.” Instead of handing me the device, the waiter went to the counter and came back with a paper check (shown in the photo below), but the total was only $56.55. In other words, he added a 20% tip on his own and would have got it if I were more trusting. Shocked, I chose not to confront him and still left a 16% tip, based on the pretax total of $52. That’s just $3 less than what he would have got, but what he really lost was my respect. Not sure I would come back or recommend this place to anyone else.

This place is amazing! As someone from the south, I judge breakfast/brunch spots on their chicken and waffles, and these were amazing. Crispy chicken, fluffy waffle, perfect over easy eggs (cracked fresh daily), and a surprisingly yummy gravy. We also had the dreamy strawberry French toast and their homemade whipped cream was delicious. Will absolutely be returning when I’m the Encinitas area! Service was great, clean and tidy restaurant, and eco-conscious dinnerware, not to mention how fair the pricing was. They could easily charge more for their amazing dishes, but do what they can to keep prices low. Also got to meet the owner Ed, super friendly guy who immediately gives the impression that he loves his work, and was kind enough to take time to speak with us and share the story of this amazing spot!

Great place for breakfast with an up beat atmosphere, perfect for starting a great day. The food menu is imaginative, very tasty and great quality. Price is higher than most places but this is reflected in the quality of the food so we weren't disappointed.

Hands down the best I have had in a long time everything was fresh and definitely made with care the bread is made in house are waitress Ariana was so sweet and attentive I’m only in town for a few days but I will be coming back before we leave places can be so hit or miss in areas like this this place is truly, a gem 💎 the atmosphere is very inviting and they are pet friendly what I love to see

Absolutely Fantastic Brunch Spot! I had such a great meal here. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, perfect for a weekend brunch with family. I ordered the mushroom omelet with crispy breakfast potatoes and toast, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The potatoes were golden and perfectly seasoned, and the omelet was packed with mushrooms and herbs, with just the right amount of cheese. I also tried their iced coffee, which was rich, smooth, and hit the spot on a warm day. You can tell they care about the little details, from the house-made jam to the fluffy pancakes that my kid loved (he devoured them in minutes). The presentation was beautiful, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. Service was fast and everyone was super friendly. We also tried the eggs benedict with smoked salmon, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had, with a perfectly poached egg and tangy hollandaise. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious brunch in a casual setting. Can’t wait to come back! Let me know if you want it shorter or even more specific!
