I loved this spot! Cool interior with upscale industrial / vintage European vibes. Brunch was relaxing and delicious. I asked for the pistachio french toast but as pancakes, and I was so happy they were able to do it! I love Dubai chocolate, so that was an amazing sweet breakfast. My friend got the birria skillet and loved it! Great brunch, overall.

I writing this to rave about Nam (one of the delightful servers at Provisional Kitchen). I was so impressed with Nam's hospitality. He anticipated our needs before we even knew we needed something. We said we were going to share one of the meals and he brought it out already split for us. He brought out warmed almond milk for my coffee (without me having to ask). He checked in on us the perfect amount of times (he was there if we needed him but other than that he let us enjoy our food). I'm always so impressed when you go a restaurant and unexpectedly get a fine dining experience. We also went back the next day and he wasn't our server but still swung by our table and said "so glad you are joining us again today" or something like that. We felt so welcomed and well taken care of. On top of that, the food was excellent and we loved everything that we ordered. Truly incredible service and food. And I love the greenhouse type structure at the entrance of the restaurant, the chandeliers and the high ceilings. Loved our experience and we will definitely be back!

We loved our impromptu visit for breakfast. They quickly seated us. The team was very organized during the chaos of Comic Con. Their specialty donuts for the event were creative and tasty. The drink options were plentiful and the chilaquiles were a great option for breakfast. They pleasantly accommodated my request to make it similar to a hash and it was so good! The venue is modern, bright, and clean. Thx to the team for a great breakfast!

It's a place where the service is VERY friendly, the food is delicious; it can be a bit slow during peak hours, but it's worth a visit when you're in San Diego.

We went for breakfast here and there was a long line up, we waited about 30 minutes for our table. The servers and hostess were great. The pistachio french toast was our favorite, but the other food was just okay in our opinion. The avocado toast is literally just Sriracha, avocado, eggs, and some sprouts, nothing special. We ordered the potatoes and bacon as well. I wouldn't order the potatoes again as they were too thick and not flavorful enough. For the bacon, there was interesting flavors like cinnamon toast crunch. I enjoyed my cold pressed watermelon juice. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful. Overall, I would go back if I were to stay at the Pendry hotel, but would not go out of my way to have breakfast here.
