Seaview Restaurant — Restaurant in San Diego

I actually rate the breakfast at 2.5 stars because of the pricing in comparison to quality and quantity. If you aren't a big eater, then save your money and go to another venue for breakfast. Doing so may save you a little bit of money, and most importantly, the quality of food may be much better elsewhere! If you have kids, then save your money and find a IHOP or McDonald's! I saw two families with children where the kids were only nibbling on fruit or pancake, and I couldn't help but think how nice it must be to spend that much for food and your kid only nibbles?! I went in with average expectations based on reading previous reviews and I must say that I was disappointed because even with not-so-high expectations -- the food fell below that line. Eggs were runny, bacon was overcooked, mini pancakes sticking to each other and the pork sausage just average (McDonald's breakfast sausage may have more flavor). I suppose having been in the warmers had something to do with the lack of kick in taste, but overall, the food was nothing special and not worth the price tag. Yes, you can go back for as many servings as you'd like, but with the lack of great taste, you're not in a hurry to go back for seconds 👀 Everything at the buffet bar looked clean and watched after. The omelet area looked nice and popular. The service was a 50/50. The gentleman came around asking if we wanted more to drink even though our cups were still full, but when they were empty and I had moved my glass to about 3 different spots on the table to try and catch his attention, he didn't come back to refill! 🥴🤦‍♀️ Another gentleman had come to clear a plate when we weren't ready, but then never returned to clear the obvious plates to take away. I tried this for the experience because I love brunch buffets, but I can't say I will be back. I don't mind paying a good amount of money for food, but at least have the food be worth the price tag. Even with inflation across the board, I couldn't justify the...

There is nothing wrong with the Seaview restaurant, but that there is nothing right for its priceyness. I dont mind paying $40+ per person for a breakfast experience but the experience should match the rate. The bin of scrambled eggs looked no different then those served in a motel, massed produced for hundreds. There was no 'sea' view...in fact it felt like a windowless banquet hall. I did find a window way in the back with a view of giant globs of concrete. I ordered a cappuccino (additional cost) and it looked and tasted like it was made from some rapid dispense machine like u might see at a motel breakfast, clearly no barista. Too be fair, there was alot of food selections but it all tasted just ok and it felt like there was less of a chef orchestrating this meal and more of a cook. Having had many high dollar buffet experiences in the past and many motel free buffets as well...this leaned closer to the motel experience but at a larger scale. Don't let the pics real you in, skip it. With all that said we will probably eat there again this morning simply because we are checking out and tight on time....which is probably how they get away with producing a high dollar...

The Christmas buffet lunch was amazing! It is worth the splurge. Traditional holiday meal was excellent -- prime rib, salmon, ham, sweet potato were all very well done. Seafood bar selection was great -- raw oysters, shellfish, sushi, Alaskan king crab. Bread and cheese station had great pairings of condiments. Dessert selection... mmm... yummy and pretty.

They are very family-friendly. Lots of kids here even on Christmas Day. Santa showed up and gave out candy canes (perhaps he can do healthier treats in future years). He was even patient with us in taking a few pictures.

We stayed in the hotel and thus it was very convenient to pop down on Christmas Day for a relaxing lunch. Just don't forget to make reservations. The Christmas lunch is really popular! We were very pleased with the holiday feel this imparted, a home...
