    Happy Birthday!!
    Brandye K.

    Making it to brunch here was closing a circle that started back in 2020 when we originally had our anniversary plan to stay here and have brunch at provisional kitchen. Six years later, it ended up being part of my husband surprise birthday Sunday. Provisional kitchen is a really bright open and beautiful dining room. Service was pretty great in general. We have the ostrich egg brunch. And while it was nerve-racking, knowing it was more than we could finish I'm so glad we ordered it. The yolk was incredibly decadent. The potatoes were so crispy and flavorful and great for dipping inside the yolk. We paired it with breakfast sausage and English muffins and everything all put together made some very delightful bites. They started us with a plate of fresh fruit and berries, and it was so delightful. Everything was perfectly ripe and it was important to have these bright bites later in the meal as a pallet cleanser. The mail wrapped up with a little cake for my husband's birthday, which he enjoyed immensely.. Absolutely delighted that I decided to come here!

    I had previously visited Provisional Kitchen a few years ago for their holiday dinner experience, and it was great, unfortunately, their brunch today failed to deliver. I ordered the Pendry Breakfast and added a slice of french toast. The potatoes were too tough to chew. I'm not sure if they were cooked at too high of a temperature because the outside appeared cooked but the inside wasn't soft at all. Our server recommended that I choose another side of either a side salad, fries or tator tots (I got the side salad). The eggs were ordered medium and even that was cooked unevenly. It was overcooked on the top side and runny on the bottom. The french toast was also dry and seemed overcooked. Maybe the breakfast foods aren't this kitchen's forte. The iced matcha lattes were delicious btw. I will say I did enjoy the ambiance and my company. I liked the open, upscale aesthetic. Our server was awesome too - very friendly and professional. I'm not sure if I'll be back anytime soon since there are so many great restaurants in San Diego. Hopefully, it was just an off day for the kitchen.

    I had the steak and eggs which was delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection and was seasoned perfectly. Maira was our server and she was AMAZING. She had a great attitude, great recommendations and was on it.

    $16 for a bowl of Greek yogurt and granola is kinda crazy. It was pretty though

    I love the open kitchen concept and the interior design. However, the food at provisional kitchen is very very MID with high prices and long wait times. This restaurant is connected to the Pendry Hotel. My husband and I stayed at the Pendry and had free credit to spend on breakfast at provisional kitchen during our hotel stay so that's the only reason why we came here for breakfast two days in a row. I've tried the fried bread and lox, steak and eggs, chilaquiles, and Greek yogurt. The food all tasted ok. Nothing bad but nothing memorable. $16 for a bowl of Greek yogurt and granola is crazy. Service is pretty much nonexistent. On both days we only saw our server when it was time to take our order and for the check. Overall, I would not go out of my way to dine here.

    Provisional Kitchen is located in the Pendry San Diego and they have a pretty complete breakfast and lunch menu. Eating here feels like you're eating in the middle of downtown in a big city. The restaurant is spacious with cool ambiance and lots of natural lighting from their high windows with ground level view of gaslamp. While staying at the Pendry, I ate here twice. On the first day, my wife ordered the Breakfast sandwich ($24) buttery with bacon ($4 addendum), Calabrian chili aioli, and omelet-style eggs. The sandwich was well constructed, the eggs were buttery and creamy, and the aioli gave a nice mildly spicy balance. I ordered the "everything fry bread and lox" ($26), which was a cool twist on a lox with bagel. Would have never thought to eat lox what was essentially on a savory donut. I enjoyed the dish, which came with onion, capers, tomato, cream cheese, and dill. Added pesto potatoes ($8) that were roasted with a buttery pesto sauce on top To drink, I had a Cafe de olla ($9), which I liked. My wife had black coffee for $6. Both were fine, but their prices are what they are. Overall, the food was good; however, it was quite pricey for what we got. When we went on our second day, my wife got their "pendry breakfast" ($24), which featured 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast, and I had buttermilk pancakes ($20). The pendry breakfast had eggs with a beautiful orange yolk; however, it was a pretty standard "American Breakfast". My buttermilk pancakes were soft and chewy; however, at $20, so they're priced at perfection. I tend to prefer pancakes that are fluffy with a nice crisp on the outside. The ambiance is upscale, they have a few interesting brunch items; however, the brunch here is ultimately very pricey, which brings it down to three stars for me.

    Stopped in for lunch while visiting San Diego. Sat outside on the patio which was mostly shaded this time of the day. Didn't have reservations which was fine - it wasn't too busy. Ordered margarita pizza which was really good, and a couple of glasses of wine. Our server was attentive.

    Italian salad
    Kysa T.

    Came here on a Sunday for a late lunch with a party of 8. We did not have a reservation but they luckily had a table available for our party when we walked up. I ordered the Italian salad and a Bloody Mary. The salad was pretty good. Not drenched in dressing and well seasoned. I really enjoyed the crispy chickpeas. The Bloody Mary was good as well. I asked for it to be extra spicy and it turned out pretty well. Overall I did enjoy my experience here. The food is a tad pricey but service was good and the decor is nice and classy.

    Service was excellent! Had the Spicy Tomato Soup and Truffle Grilled cheese sandwich. Sand which has really tasty but the soup always a hair too spicy that took away from the tomato flavor. We also had the Spicy Crispy Chicken Wrap. This was very good with a good combo of flavors from the chicken and bacon and a good crispy satisfaction. We paired all of this with a bottle of Prosecco which was a good choice with three juice options to add (Guava, Lychee, and Blueberry). The restaurant has high ceilings and an open format. Lots of natural lighting and a clean restaurant. Will definitely stop back in if in the area. Cheers!

    Was here for a work event and we were just hungry so we popped in here right after landing. Immediately I'll say I loved the vibe of this place. It is located in a hotel and they were serving Sunday brunch but we had a great time. The food was really good and the espresso martini was FAB! I loved that their menu had a little bit of everything. It makes it difficult to pick things because everything sounds good, but a perfect scenario when you're with people that like to share food. I was a big fan of the steak frites - so good! Also, they cook a really great poached egg! When we went they had a watermelon juice and it was incredibly refreshing! The next time I'm in San Diego, I will be coming here again! The service was great and we had a lovely time!

    The breakfast pizza was amazing and one of my favorite breakfast dish I've had in a while. This dish is a great for sharing. Also, I tried the cafe de olla which was a perfect balance of cinnamon and coffee. The service was superb and the atmosphere was very beautiful with its decor and high ceilings. Make reservations because this restaurant can get busy.

    Enjoyed brunch at provisional kitchen. We started with a fresh fruit plate that had some nicely ripened choices that were nibbled the entire meal. Following the fruit the tale shared a breakfast pizza. Who has ever known of such a thing and I here for all of it. One slice of a nice crispy crust with bacon spinach and a sunny side up egg right in the middle. An absolute surprise of a treat. Someone got the avocado toast and liked it. I had buttermilk pancakes that had the most fresh flavor I've had in pancakes in a while. It's a beautiful restaurant attached to the hotel and thankfully we arrived before the twelve o'clock crowd and were able to get out with great attentive service.

    Went to bestie hour with my bestie and it was SUCH a good deal. The amount of food, and the quality you receive is amazing! The drinks weren't the tastiest but I am also not a huge martini fan. Pizza, Salad, and charcuterie were all delicious. Service was good. Will come back for sure! Ambiance was super classy.

    We were staying at the Pendry and wanted to try out their in restaurant spot Provisional Kitchen. We have a baby so naturally our wake time is super early and it's nice they opened around that time. Overall was good and would come back to try other brunch items. Food 4/5 We Chilaquiles hit the spot. Very flavorful. Breakfast Burrito was delicious and can't go wrong. Bigger than expected. Service Good service was attentive, though we were the few customers there cause we got their right at open Ambiance Very nice, clean place. Kitchen view is open so it's cool to see chefs do their thing.

We made a reservation and although we arrived on time, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. I agree with some of the other commenters when they say that the revolving fireplace needs some love. It has the look and feel of needing to be updated. Also, for it to be a "speakeasy" vibe, you could hear the loudness of the bar through the walls. It just kind of ruins the facade a little bit. Regardless, we enjoyed the novelty of being slowly admitted to the speakeasy on the opposite side. We were given seats and upon first glance it was a dark lit space with an old fashioned aesthetic. I was surprised to see how casual everyone was dressed- I assumed there was a dress code, but I guess flip flops made the cut ‍. It took a few minutes for our server to attend to us, and when he did you could tell he was slammed. We just didn't get the table side manner one was hoping for an establishment like this. Peeking at their drink menu, I found myself disappointed that much of their options had a lot of sweet or fruit juice ingredients. So, I went for their old fashioned. For the price, it was just okay. Another disappointing moment. In all, it wasn't terrible, but it just isn't worth the hype. Overpriced and mediocre drinks and a seemingly overworked staff didn't make for a memorable experience and ended up not being for us. Glad to have tried it...but look elsewhere if you've actually been to a speakeasy. This just doesn't live up to what it's trying to sell you.

It's cozy, intimate, and unlike any other place I've been to in San Diego. Reservations are definitely worth making since the space is on the smaller side and fills up quickly. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that, while the experience and ambiance were amazing, the drinks are definitely on the pricier side. I understand you're paying for the craftsmanship and atmosphere, but it's probably not somewhere I'd visit regularly because of that. It's common for tiki bars to be pricey so it was to be expected. Overall, I'm really glad I finally got to experience False Idol. If you're in San Diego and enjoy creative cocktails in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend checking it out at least once!

Overall, such a unique spot that's worth visiting at least once for the atmosphere alone!

    WOW i was so happy with this speakeasy !! finding the entrance was a bit tricky at first, but we…read morewalked into the bakery with 2 other parties and we all helped each other LOL. so cute that it's in a bakery though - definitely wanna come back to try the bakery goods and drinks! we had a reservation for 2 @ 8:45pm, and we got seated at a table. loved the ambiance, dimly lit but still a good amount of light, the japanese decor - it was all so great and immersive. our server Moe was so kind and explained the concept + menu to us, and she also helped me with choosing a drink after i told her i like sweet flavors :) food we ordered: - korean cucumber salad: smashed cucmbers in a korean chili sauce that was yummy but pretttty salty. i do think though that it paired really nicely with my sweeter drinks bc i love a sweet & salty pairing - alone though, it def could've been a bit much - nagoya karaage: delicious, crispy & tender chicken pieces! the flavor gave orange/citrus-y chicken to us, and we really enjoyed it drinks we ordered: - ao ichigo: this drink was sweet, light, and tart. the strawberry flavor really came through, and i thought i wouldn't feel anything after drinking it but the reposado/vodka/vermouth combo sneaks up on ya haha - sesame old fashioned: my fiancé is a new old fashioned drinker, and he enjoyed this one. he did say it was pretty standard in its flavor and he wishes he could've tasted the sesame more, but that being said it was one of the better old fashioneds that he's had - white lover: i think this drink was my favorite! a perfect ending drink since it was creamy from the calpico. it comes with a little circle scoop of some type of sweet ice cream that pairs PERFECTLY with this drink - you can either lick it as you sip the drink (which i did at the beginning), or just drop it into your drink (which i did at the end). it definitely enhanced the flavor so i really enjoyed this drink overall a great experience, can't wait to come back sometime so try more of their omiyage cocktails! :-)

    We walked in after dinner on Saturday hoping they'd be able to fit us in. We were SO incredibly…read morelucky they had availability and sat our party in the back private room. It was absolutely the best way to end my husband's birthday weekend! Big shout out to Ben and Moe for taking care of us! They were both so nice, very knowledgeable and just made our experience at Kamon top notch! We had 12 cocktails and each one was perfection. The Tokyo Banana, The White Lover, Sazerac and Matcha one were our favorites!! Thank you for an amazing way to close out the best day ever!

    Finally made it to this cute speakeasy in San Diego! We stopped by on a Sunday around 5 PM and had…read moreno trouble walking right in. There were plenty of seats available, and service was quick and smooth. Cocktails were around $15-18 each. I ordered the Perpetual Motion and absolutely loved it, the sweet strawberry flavor paired perfectly with the creamy Calpico. It's the kind of drink I'd order again and again. I also tried the Piña Colada, which was equally delicious. Even though the cocktails are beautifully handcrafted and easy to sip, you can still taste the liquor, which I always appreciate. This is such a great spot for a first date, a girls' night out, or simply catching up with friends. One of my favorite parts was exploring the vinyl room, it adds such a fun retro touch. The entire space has a nostalgic, vintage vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into another era. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy some creative cocktails, and soak in the atmosphere.

    This is a nice establishment, especially for lounging with a date. Very clean and nice drinks too…read more A little pricey however that's the norm in this area for the more popular out of towner type spots. The servers are friendly. But you have to be patient as they are often quite busy. The record store and records theme is what they present online but to be honest that is only a minute section of the establishment. It definitely doesn't describe the theme of the place neither. The worker in the record section simply ignored me when I tried to purchase a record and after a minute I had to ask for him to please ring me up. No apology from him. No biggie, I still had a decent time drinking here.
