   The atmosphere is really nice, beautiful restaurant and delicious food. The chilaquiles were so yummy and the maple bacon donuts are such a treat! Service was the only slight downside, a bit inattentive but still a nice brunch!

   Bombarded by flies, seems to be a reoccurring issue whenever we eat here. I’ve eaten at plenty of outdoor places and never have this issue. For being such a known establishment, I’m surprised they aren’t trying doing anything to address this issue.

   I like the food I ordered and the service was nice! But there were so many flies around our table and in the general area in the restaurant- not outside. I was surprised there were so many that it was hard to concentrate on my conversation with my friend. My friend and I were both swinging our hands around so the flies wouldn’t land on our food and drinks. This is the first time I experienced this to happen.

   There were way too many flies in the restaurant. Took clients there and the whole time we were swatting flies throughout our whole meal. It was embarrassing.

   The food is very good. The signature dishes are definitely worth the price. The rest of the menu is fine as well, and although pricey you get a lot of food. The bacon maple donuts are delicious but get them with the chicken instead of as a dessert item.

    I have been a fan of Great Maple for many years, but this was my first time at this location and we loved it. Parking is abundant in the mall parking structure, shopping is convenient, the food is always great; most of all it is a beautiful spot. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors.

    Food was very good. The hostess was very nice. However our server was not. we would have had a better experience had he been polite and around. We couldn’t order more coffee, and a cocktail like we wanted because he was never around or available.

    From the hostess to getting the check…. A great experience! Pleasant and attentive staff. Yummy drinks!! Great food! I ordered the Brisket sandwich delicious and messy. While my friend ordered the Chilaquiles which she enjoyed! Bring your appetite!! Fun atmosphere but not loud , which is nice when you’d like to be able to engage in conversation. A great little treat! Must try the donuts!!!

    We had a reservation, we were seated right away. We ordered food and drinks and both came out quickly. We were in and out in 30 minutes for breakfast, which worked great since we had a baby with us. Food was great! Will return!

    The hostess had a really bad attitude… we arrived and asked for a table for 7, she said it would be 2 hours to enter, we asked for 2 tables and she said it would be 1.5 hours and the tables wouldn’t be together… we made 2 reservations at OpenTable and they were available right away, when we showed her the reservations, she frowned at us, told us we couldn’t sit together (which we knew), and made half of the party wait for 15 minutes when there were plenty of tables available! And she sat us on opposite sides of the restaurant when there were 5 tables available next to where we sat. She shouldn’t be a hostess when she clearly doesn’t want to be one

    Nice place for brunch. Located at UTC on La Jolla Blvd. we made reservations ahead of time so we only had a 5 minute wait after we arrived to be seated. We ordered the BLT, Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich, and French Toast Logs. It took about 20-30 mins for our food to come out and boy are they big portions! The French Toast was delicious with candied bacon and blueberries. The BLT came with heaping portions of crispy bacon and we substituted a salad for truffle fries. For the Chicken Sandwich we stuck with a side salad, but weren't wowed by it, it was pretty ordinary for an almost $20 sandwich. Service was nice. Overall, nice brunch spot if you are in the area.

    Service at the outdoor tables was very slow. Water glasses were tiny. We baked in the hot sun with no water for 30 minutes. The cappuccino came in a tiny glass with no handle so you had to chose between burning your fingers to have a hot drink or waiting until it cooled off to handle the glass. The brisket hash was fatty slices of brisket past it’s prime with that weird iridescent slime on it. Husband’s chilaquiles were good. Not worth the price.

    I recommend this restaurant for its beignets and maple bacon donuts with coffee but will not recommend for its food. We were looking forward to the brunch menu with out of town guests. Sadly the food failed to impress. For example I had the brisket hash and it had no flavor. Apparently when placing the poached eggs on top the water was not drained adequately and was dumped with the eggs over the dish which washed away any good flavor overall rendering it flavorless. Sad because it could have been a good dish.

    Food is nice to look at. Go here if you want pics for IG. Don’t go here if you want food that tastes as good as it looks. The environment is beautiful. I was so disappointed with the food and drink. Cold drinks weren’t cold. Hot drinks served in water glasses so it was impossible to handle until you let the drink cool off. So many execution errors from front of house, service and the kitchen. One and done.

    Beautiful space, liked the ambiance. First impression of the menu: shock no. 1: price! Very pricey. 2nd look: kinds limited breakfast menu, in our opinion but we always find something that we like. 2nd impression: massive portions!!! We had to take half of the order home. So, the price is not bad, since you can have 2meals out of it. Food was very delicious!

    Made reservation specifically for outdoor dining and was seated indoors. When I asked the hostess she made me feel like I was being a pain rather than helping to address the issue.

    First observation: Hosts, servers, and kitchen staff had masks on their faces but very few worn correctly. Second: We had a reservation. Arrived 3 min early. People came after us and were either later or early, but seated before us. All of us had the same number of people. Hosts were aloof and dismissive. There were four black people seated at the restaurant. Yet, three of the black people were all seated in the same area. Food was great. Server was adequate. Table and area were clean. Recommendation: Perception matters. I’ll stick with the Hillcrest location moving forward.

    I get Father’s Day can be busy for some restaurants. However, I have to say the experience here could have been so much better with just a little effort on the part of the restaurant. We arrived right on time for a 1:45 reservation. As expected there were a lot of people outside and inside waiting to be seated. However, the person I checked in with said and I quote: they are bussing your table now and it should be ready shortly. While we stood there waiting to be seated, I saw roughly 10-15 people walk up and either check in or follow up after checking in and I overheard the hostess say the exact same thing to every person. So, 20 minutes after checking in and after watching everyone getting seated, I walked up asking for an ETA. The response? Yup! Oh, they are bussing your table I will go take care of it right now…I said thanks and turned to walk back to where my Wife and Daughter were standing…guess what? Ya, the hostess who said she was going to check in my table? Ya, she didn’t MOVE! About 10 minutes later we were seated at a high top table that was the size of a postage stamp. Then the waiter comes over now 30 minutes past our reservation and he tells us the kitchen is backed up and orders are 30-40 minutes behind. Ok, so after waiting 30 minutes to be seated now your telling my food is 40 minutes out..:if I order right this very second?! To say this was sub optimal would be an incredible understatement. Now, how hard would it be for the hostess to say before we waited 30 minutes for a table, “the kitchen is backed up, you’re probably looking at an hour, minimum before you eat”If ya do that, you allow your customers to make a decision as to if they want to wait or not. You will also thin the crowd out a bit reducing wait time for those Committed to eating there. Instead they misled everyone creating an incredibly frustrating experience. I get it, this place is very popular and my review will not make any difference to them. Had to get it off my chest

    Our server Taylor was wonderful and thanks to her kindness and caring approach we will be back. It was a busy day and the kitchen was having trouble and didn’t send out one of our meals and the other one of them came without the title ingredient. Busy times happen in restaurants and we know everyone does their best but Taylor was true outstanding!!

    Tables are cramped (to close to each other so little to no privacy ) food is mediocre at best , cost for food and drinks surpasses the fine dining restaurants located in same UTC mall so way over priced for a breakfast place . Service is very slow and full of mistakes so server has to come back 5 times to the table which is annoying for them and us . Place is just hype and not sure even why ? So many better options specially at that price

    The restaurant is lovely. Had been to Great Maple in Hillcrest and it is super tight compared to the UTC location - very open and comfortable. Service was nice. Not a place you go to if you are hoping for a cozy and quiet area. However, the food was good. My friend ordered avo toast with egg whites and it was ok. I got the squash blossom popover with poached eggs, mushrooms, spinach and potatoes and it was quite good. One thing to note is that it's expensive. Your cobb salad goes for $24.99 - It has to be incredible if it costs this much. Price point is a bit high but was a fun experience. May come back. Oh, if you go to the UTC restaurant note that Great Maple does not validate parking.
