Greenfinch Restaurant

Excellent and fast service, everyone was friendly and speedy. I was told I'd have a 10 minute wait, it was more like 5. The chicken was great, fries were nice too. The place is decently busy, but clean and overall very pretty!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Upscale-casual hotel breakfast option. My friends and I decided to have breakfast here before checking out and it was a very nice experience. Located on the second floor, it overlooks their lovely grassy garden area where they hold special events like weddings, etc. The decor and ambiance is refined but relaxed resort dining. We didn't care for the area where they had tables on either side of a walkway where guests going to and from their rooms had to traverse, but that was our only gripe about the layout. I got the crab and eggs benedict with a coffee, both excellent. My friends enjoyed their breakfast items also, and we all commented on their nice assortment of gourmet jams. The service, while seemingly a bit stretched, was friendly and helpful, and the prices were pretty reasonable for a hotel restaurant. I'd definitely come back if staying at the hotel again.

I always love the atmosphere of Green Finch. Today, I had the opportunity to eat outside, and was pleasantly surprised that they had outdoor heaters.Pros:-staff from valet to our waitress were wonderful and provided excellent service-the grounds are beautiful. Everything seems well- maintained. -located conveniently across of UC San Diego's Pangea Parking Structure. Cons:-noneOther:-food is just okay which is why I provided a 4/5. I come here for the atmosphere rather than the food itself. -It can be rather pricey for what you get. For example, a side of avocado or egg will be around the $6-$8 range.

After a luxurious stay at the Estancia, we had a wonderful breakfast at Greenfinch. Our stay came with free breakfast that equated to up to $80 in credit.We had the option to sit inside or outside but chose the inside area because it was cold out. The decor is modern and beautiful and we were greeted by extremely friendly and attentive wait staff. Our breakfast was tasty! We shared a crab benedict that was made with real crab patties on top and a Carlsbad Strawberry Stuffed French Toast. The berries were sweet and so were the delicious candied walnut that topped our french toast. Everything we ate was delicious and we loved getting to share something both savory and sweet. If we didn't have our dining credit, I'm not sure this review would be the same. For those two items and 1 coffee, we walked out at $75. The menu items seem really pricey here and I think it might be because of the amount of dining credit they give out. I don't know that it'd be worth it to come here if you weren't a guest staying at the hotel, but if you are, it's a great option.

Came here for brunch after staying at estancia. Food was decent and it was surprising theirjam used for the toast was in glass bottles sealed individually. I was expecting plastic cartons filled with jam. View was nice. You can see the garden courtyardand people resting in the balcony.

My bestie and I came in for the native poppy pop-up. It's a nice and intimate bar with the beautiful native poppy decor/installment. They have a few cocktails listed on their menu, but I was able to order an espresso martini that wasn't on the menu. We also had 4 glasses of casimigos neat, because they do not offer shots. So, keep that in mind. Lol We also had their baked Brie, which was yummy. We just needed more crostini Service was so-so. We felt some judgment at times because we asked for shots of tequila - which again they don't provide. Then asked for a soda or limes to with the tequila and the gal looked at us funny. lol When we looked up the details of the native poppy-greenfinch collab, we thought it would be more of a speakeasy vibe aka dimmer lighting but it was pretty bright in there. The lighting wasn't that great for photos of the florals either. The bar itself is beautiful. The couch seating is a vibe and the native poppy florals were gorgeous. Would we go back? Probably not, but it was a nice bar to try.

We visited this place for the spring pop up themed bar. While the drinks looked pretty, they tasted awful. Above that, we were just 2 of us and were charged a surcharge. Ended up spending $50 for 2 drinks. Overall, expensive and not worth the hype :/

Had brunch at this resort restaurant and it was absolutely empty on a weekday, I was so confused because this place is fabulous! Hidden gem i guess? The breakfast tower is served in a golden birdcage, the view is over their courtyard and feels like a luxury vacation escape and has me forgetting I was a few minutes from home. Food was good enough, pricey but expected for a resort brunch.

The setting is beautiful, the food great, but hands down the service is superior to everything. I was there for college graduation weekend in June with family. Big groups can be hard to manage but Madeline managed our group with ease and grace. We had the pleasure of dining with her again another day and again she was lovely. We had Karina as a server multiple times as well. It was like we had known her for years - such a lovely person, engaging, kind, personable. She took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed during our meals and the take out we ordered for others. Finally, Carlos D was there during each and every meal we had - hard working, professional, helping with whatever we needed. Truly cannot express how the staff here made our weekend really wonderful. Thank you - we hope to see them again!

Visited the hotel just the other day and it's beautiful, the garden had so many butterflies I was in love! The restaurant was very clean and our host I belive her name was ivana. Very kind and accommodating, she walked me through the menu and I found the perfect dish. I had the green finch plate and was incredibly delicious. My server was also amazing unfortunately can't remember her name but she took great care of me
