Gaslamp Breakfast Company — Restaurant in San Diego

Went to GBC on a Friday morning around 11:30am. At first glance the place was great. Had a nice aesthetic to it, but quickly realized the aesthetic being nice was the only good part of our experience. We were 2 adults and a baby so we requested a high chair. The hostess was very sweet but had little to no direction. She first attempted to sit us at a booth type table for 2 with no room for a high chair. Then tried to sit us at a table that was dirty. Then finally sat us at a 4 top and then asked if we wanted a high chair. As we sat down we noticed one of the chairs at the table was about 5lbs of pressure from falling to pieces. Then our server came by. We had been so focused on getting a high chair for our baby we hadn't had time to even look at drinks. Although the waitress didn't really speak loud enough to hear over the blaring music. We told her to please come back. Eventually we ordered our drinks. A lemonade and a coffee. My lemonade came quickly but the coffee seemed to be running away because we didn't receive it until AFTER our food was delivered and we had to ask the Expediter to bring it to us. Moving on to the food. I ordered the breakfast sammy with house potatoes and my husband ordered the steak and eggs with a pancake on the side for the baby. I wish I could say it was all very good but unfortunately the only good thing we received was the toast on the side of the steak and eggs. His eggs were powdered, the steak was fishy tasting and covered in a chimichurri that looked like vomit. My sandwich bread was so hard it hurt to bite into. The eggs were everywhere and the bacon was borderline burnt. The potatoes on both dishes were undercooked severely. The pancake was the only decent thing we got. I'd like to also mention our server checked in a total of 2 times. But visited the table next to us over 6. This place was a total fail on our quest to find good independent breakfast food restaurants...

I gave the food 1 star since I've never successfully been served anything.

Service and Atomsphere would be zeros based on one person. This was my second and final attempt to eat here.

My first visit resulted in my coworkers getting their orders with the promise mine would be right out. After waiting 10-15 minutes I told them to stop waiting for me and eat while the food was still hot. After they were finished, I still hadn't received mine. I'm pretty sure the runner gave my order to the wrong table since they had 1 guy awkwardly served well before the rest of his group. Now the manager comes to tell me that they ran out of what I had ordered....it had been over an hour and I wasn't waiting.

Today I decided to give them a second chance because the food did look good. Instead at the door I'm brushed past by a girl heading in to start her shift. She proceeds to walk straight to the bar counter right in the middle of the set of open seats. It wasn't full so there would have been enough room to leave an empty chair between everyone already there...but nope, she needs to tell some story loudly to the bartender. Finally I try to grab one of the chairs, ready to ask if she was going to sit there - instead she spins to give me a dirty look and make a comment about me wanting to choose that chair when there were all those other ones (that she was also blocking) and storm off. I refused the menu saying I'm obviously not welcome here.

I'm not asking for princess treatment, but having been in the service industry for decades I would be embarrassed if she worked for me. And I'm sure that I was a joke of this place as I walked out as no one working there seemed to have a problem with her behavior.

I'll make sure to let all of my coworkers and clients to avoid this place...

Went on a Wednesday at 12:30 ish. Wasn't too busy they seated us right away, but got service was a different story. When we got seated, they did ask what we wanted to drink but took a while to get them. Once we were ready to order, we asked for the chicken&waffle and the Japanese spicy chicken sandwich. The waiter told us they rain out of chicken. He later informed us that the items we were gonna choose are really good and that they always run out of chicken at 12. So if ur coming for the chicken items, you will be out of luck. We need up choosing the breakfast flight that we shared. For the waffle, we for the orange tyme, tatsed like a basic waffle with 4 prices on tangerine throne on top. For the pancake, we got the tiramisu. It tatsed nothing like tiramisu, no coffee flavor at all. The lady finger seems like tacos bells puffy cinnamon twist, without the sugar&cinnamon. Therefore, there is no actual flavor on the pancakes. The only thing that saved this flight was the creme brulee French toast. Since we ordered the flight, we got one slice, which was more than enough. The flavor is so sweet and strong that it would be hard to eat too much of it. They did have great organe juice, but the cappuccino was not good & tiny. It feels like this is a place that is hyped up too much. The food looks beautiful but lacking in tatse. Great place for amazing food pictures. The good looks amazing but lacking in taste. For the place not being so busy, it took us about a little over 45 minutes to actually get our food to eat. I wanted to like it so much but sadly will not return,...
