Jennings House Eatery — Restaurant in San Diego

I had went to this restaurant in the morning expecting a good breakfast meal considering that they have good rating. This restaurant is terrible, by far the worst restaurant I’ve been to here in Cali and I’m just visiting for a little vacation from home. I’m there with 9 other family members and I, we walk in and asked where to be seated and we ask for high chairs for the 2 little ones in the family. We get seated outside in the sun with no shade, we asked our waitress for umbrellas for more shade. We waited 10 minutes and asked for the umbrellas and high chairs, another 10 minutes go by we ask again and still nothing. We waited for our waitress to come and help us figure this out we all realized that we had a new waitress. We ask her if we can move tables around to get in the shade, her excuse was “the tables are bolted to the ground”... then we place our order, almost everyone at our table ordered French toast since it was popular. As soon as our waitress took our order and left we look at all the tables there, not a single table was “bolted” to the Ground, the tables were on dirt or on the parking spots. Bout 20 minutes go by still no high chair or umbrella and out waitress comes back and says “I have terrible news, we just ran out of French toast, our boss makes fresh something” (I didn’t catch what she said it was either bread or batter). We were so mad because French toast is on the kids menu and the regular menu and we look around and there is other families there that probably were going to get French toast as well because it’s “popular”. She also wasted our time by having us sit in the sun for roughly 20-30 minutes After taking our order to tell us the news. They should have told us bout the “news” right then and there or 5 minutes after taking our order. We were the Only black family there, I feel that when our first server switch was cuz she was uncomfortable with us. Which is also why they they didn’t give us the umbrellas and high chairs and made us sit in the sun for long time before telling us. One last thing there bottles have brown or black stuff under the cap when u open it. I was the one who noticed it and told everyone not to drink the water due to the cap because we didn’t know...

1st and last time going there. Did not even get to finished ordering so I can't speak on the food but the service interaction was disgusting. From the moment I walked in and interacted with the older woman running food; she was rude, short and unpleasant. I was not allowed to seat on the back patio because it was "closed" (this was a 10:30am, place hours are from 6am to 2pm) so only options were in direct sun or nothing at all since all other tables in the shade were occupied. I, was told to order via QR code, which is not a problem. I started to enter my order while I waited for a friend who was meeting me there. When all other tables opened up as my friend got there so we moved to another table in the shade. While we were trying to complete our order "Negative Nelly" came back out and scold us for switching to a different table without asking for permission and the fact that it was a table for 4 and not 2 because then she would not be able to accommodate a party of 4 if there were to come in (again there was no one else in the restaurant so all other tables were wide opened and were NOT bolted to the deck so could be moved easy), then she proceeded to scold us about the QR code only be good for the specific table it was placed on and that she would now have to tell the chef we were in a different table. By then we (specially me!) were over her tone so while I REALLY wanted for a very long time to come in to try it with what I experienced was enough to not want to wasted my money on shitty service for a basic breakfast meal.

To the owner; You run a breakfast place, which is not hard to find in this neighborhood. The things you have going that would have separated your establishment from other breakfast establishment would have been food options and service, but breakfast food is basic and almost the same across the bar so you don't have that going. However, service can make a HUGE difference on how your business succeeds, and your front of the house person sure made a impression on what could have been new regular patrions...anyways, we went to The Fig Tree in Liberty Station, They have NEVER in years failed to provide excellent service...
