Greenfinch Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in San Diego

Really terrible experience! The Greenfinch Restaurant is beautiful and the staff are friendly and attentive. But on this particular Thursday morning at 9am I had a very important business meeting over breakfast here. The outdoor seating is on a patio area overlooking the beautiful courtyard and my East coast guest wanted to dine outdoors, of course! Unfortunately a maintenance crew decided to start the lawn mowers at 9:30am and since sound travels upward, the acoustics were great for us to hear the roaring of the mowing equipment so loud that we couldn't hear each other talk!

This would have been tolerable for

Most memorable, AWFUL meal that I’ve ever had, ever. Went for their special Valentines Day dinner, and it wax terrible. Took 1 hour and 3 tries to bring my husband the correct starter. 2 tries to bring mine correctly, and that turned out to be 4 small pieces of pasta. My husband’s entree, duck, was barely cooked. When I asked for bread, 3 pieces of bread doused in lighter fluid and grilled came. We spit it out it was so horrible. We asked the waiter to smell it and he knew. Soaked in kerosene, smelled purposeful. I’ve Never experienced anything like that. Then, dessert came. Still frozen chunks of banana and “chocolate fondue” that had already separated into 2 different colored liquids. It was so bad, we were laughing. Our meal was supposedly comped as were other tables around us. Completely inexcusable for such a lovely resort. The waiter was very apologetic which helped but the kitchen staff should...

We stayed at the hotel and this particular restaurant is the worst. Yesterday's host (a male) was arrogant and said he didnt have tables and it would be an hour wait because they have a big group yet there were 5 available 4 tops. Today we stood for 5 minutes waiting for a hostess who finally came to do her job said they were slammed and the wait would be 5 minutes. 2 other hotel guests told me they were told 5 minutes and its been 10. How can the Hotel have such a nice property with the only place for for a sit down meal be the worst. Without experiencing wait staff and food, I will never be back and now have to leave the property to have a meal and service. My opinion of this restaurant...
