Snoozin'

I have discovered Snooze in Hillcrest. And let me just say, it is amazing.

I went there the first time for a post-graduation brunch a few weeks ago. We didn't get off to the best start, Snooze and I....

 They have an absolutely ridiculous policy of not accepting reservations-even for a party of ELEVEN. Even when one person in that party is breastfeeding and needs to eat. Even when one person in that party is an infant. Even when everyone in your party is starving. Even if you call ahead to let them know there is a party of ELEVEN on their way. I can only assume this policy is because the original restaurant is in Colorado and they probably don't have quite have the San Diego thing down just yet. However, despite waiting almost two hours for a table, the food was excellent and so was the service. We also got fairly toasty while waiting from their assortment of tasty cocktails including a lemonade mimosa and bloody marys that have an option of adding pickle juice!! Or you can just order the shot of pickle juice on the side and drink it plain if you are obsessed with pickle juice like me.

Some of our group post-cocktails, pre-ordering




This was the farmer's benny and the marscapone stuffed french toast-as delicious and decadent as it sounds....


If you go, try their pancake flight because that way you can get three of their delicious pancakes to try. We went for pineapple upside down, red velvet and blueberry. Another little trick is you can actually do half orders of any of their items-which is awesome because you'll definitely want to try everything on their menu.

Yum!
