Great Maple - La Jolla San Diego

We made reservations for brunch on a Monday at 10 am. We were seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was busy so she took some time to get our order, but once we ordered, the food came out very quickly. We got the brisket popover and french toast logs. Both items tasted great! My husband had the brisket popover and he really enjoyed the brisket but didn't think the popover was anything special. I had the french toast logs and thought they tasted great. The bread is very thick and custardy. It comes topped with maple syrup, blueberries, and bacon. The portion is HUGE. I ate about 1.5 logs and took the rest home. I think this is a great brunch spot and would highly recommend it. I suggest making reservations as we heard people without reservations being told it was going to be a 30 min wait. This location is part of the Westfield UTC mall. There is a parking garage off Genessee Ave that makes it very easy to park and walk directly to the restaurant. I think the first 2 hours of parking are free (we were in and out in about an hour). Update: Made lunch reservations for a weekday and we were seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't to busy so the waiter was pretty quick with taking our order and the food came out pretty fast. I had the protein bowl with salmon instead of chicken. The protein bowl was excellent. It came with what I believe was barley, shaved brussel sprouts, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, avocado, cauliflower hummus, and chimichuri. All the veggies and sauces tasted great and the salmon was well cooked. I would highly recommend the protein bowl for lunch.

Dog friendly brunch place. On the expensive end but definitely worth it. Their mimosas are out of this world! Be sure to order the maple bacon donuts. The donuts are one of the best things on the menu. Reserve ahead because this place gets busy, especially on the weekend.
