Watercolors

I had no idea it was a hilton property. It was definitely a great place for breakfast. My daughter ordered the avocado toast, and she really enjoyed it. I had the chilaquiles that I thought were delicious. The service was great and attentive. It was perfectly located downtown, and once we finished eating, we took a stroll to the maritime museum and walked along the board walk.

this is located by da lobby of CARTE HOTEL HILTON (where we stayed while on our last SD trip) ~ its got a nice open feel, a big bar area & its convenient gettin some grubs w/o havin 2 go farwe had breakfast 3 consec dayz there; service was pretty good & da food wasnt so bad either :) everything was freshly made

This place was a nice surprise during a San Diego trip. The restaurant had beautiful decor, was inviting and had a lovely ambience. All of the food on the menu sounded good, so we decided to sample a few different dishes. We ordered pizza, naan with vegetables and hummus (this hummus was a bit different and had a great flavor profile), and a spread that included canned fish, pickled veggies and breadsticks. All of the food was amazing and the pizza tasted very fresh. The service was great and the restaurant is located in a nice area with valet parking option.

Every time we stay at the carte Hotel downtown San Diego we have breakfast here. It is very convenient and always a great experience. The service is always top tier and I like how they are often changing the menu options based on their chef recommendations.This time we ordered their Birria Chilaquiles, Croque Madame and the Carte Breakfast Birria Chilaquiles: housemade birria, two cage-free eggs, corn tortillas, chipotle sauce, lime crema, pickled red onions, cotija. Make sure to have an appetite as they were very filling.Carte Breakfast: two cage-free eggs any style, toast, breakfast potatoes, choice of: nueske applewood smoked bacon, pork sausage or turkey breakfast patty.Croque Madame: rustic sourdough, sliced prosciutto, fried egg, gruyere cheese, basil, mornay sauce.Their orange juice is very good and so is their coffee.They also have a great pool deck menu for you to enjoy sitting poolside.

Got a quick bite to eat for breakfast after going to the gym during our stay. Food was amazing and came out very quickly. Portions were large. Bartender was easy to talk to but not overbearing. Cute little spot to grab a bite.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Carte Hotel on Ash Avenue, and Watercolors is one of their restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Their breakfast options are splendid. I found myself gravitating towards their açaí chia pudding quite often during our stay because of how fresh it tasted each morning. We had dinner and I ordered the octopus and it was absolutely horrible. This was my first time having octopus that was ruined. It was burnt and fishy, I ended up trashing it it was that bad :/ so much so that we avoided having dinner at the hotel.

The food was great, and the service as well. I recommend the chilaquiles with the birria. The chicken and waffles were just ok. I couldn't put my finger on some flavor that just clashed in the dish. I'd like to go again and try something else.

Really enjoyed eating breakfast here, the service was great Josh at the bar was VERY nice and really great with all of my questions about the breakfast items. I really enjoyed the garden omelette, I added lobster which was a whopping 10$ for very little lobster but still delicious. My favorite item is the avocado toast with lots of mozzarella and a delicious balsamic. Awesome for hotel food

We showed up on a weekday around 1 or 1:30pm. The restaurant was cricket silent. I did manage the find our friendly server eventually.The menu was well balanced with a variety of offerings. Most in reasonable price ranges. We wanted to use up our $30 daily food and beverage credit, which can be easily accomplished with two items.I was famished when we went so I ordered the kale and potato soup and the crispy cauliflower. My husband got the little gem salad. Everything was delicious! Crispy cauliflower was definitely complex flavored layered with spicy Calabrian chilis, sweetened dates and honey, and savory nuttiness from almonds. Nice mouthfeel! The soup reminded me of the Olive Garden Tuscany soup, but better and less fattening.Ambiance was elegant. I loved all their furniture fixtures. Service was just right. Happy this is located at Carte where we stayed. Who knew that hotel lobby restaurant could be decent?

Simply the best !!! Recommend for everyone,families,singles,the hotel is awesome too.
