- JJudySan Diego •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAn old-fashioned place for the ladies-who-lunch. We Loved it, despite the high prices. Quality of food is excellent, and it was so quiet that the people at our table could actually hear one another!More infoNM Café at Neiman Marcus – San DiegoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Mission Valley•5

- SSteveOrange County •6 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoGreat Maple is an absolute gem for brunch lovers! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy décor that sets the perfect tone for a relaxing meal. The menu is packed with creative dishes that cater to every craving. The Maple Bacon Donuts are an absolute must—perfectly fluffy and just the right balance of sweet and savory. Their Lobster Popover Benedict is pure indulgence, and the portion size is generous without being overwhelming. The drinks are just as impressive. The Bloody Mary is perfectly spiced, and the Pickle Mary is impressive and yummy The service is top-notch—attentive without being overbearing. The team truly cares about ensuring a great dining experience!

- CCasieSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 11, 2025Our experience at Covewood was good, would’ve been great if we had a different server. He was polite, but the manager and the gentlemen who I’m assuming was the busser checked on us more than our server did. I was not happy with the mojito I ordered, so I asked the “busser” if I could swap for a different drink. He said no problem, and our server brought out the replacement. There was no apology, no checking on what was wrong with it. When we left, the server pretty much just took our money and walked away. No “thank you for coming in” or “have a great night”. Service from the manager and “busser” was fantastic, but service from our server (pretty sure his name was Stephen) was less than average. Tried several times to call and talk to a manager but every time it went to their answering machine.More infoCovewood - Mission Bay ResortPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Mission Bay•4.2
