Piper

We visited Piper for Mother’s Day brunch, and everything felt thoughtfully done ,from the ocean-view setup to the fresh, beautifully presented food. Highlights: oysters, shrimp, and an omelette station that really delivered. My cocktail was carefully crafted and absolutely hit the spot. I’m already planning to come back for the prime rib and white asparagus,they looked amazing. Great setting, great food, and perfect for a special occasion.

I'm so sad, since this place has so much potential! It mainly missed the ball in 2 ways: 1) The staff are so friendly, but service overall is slow and food is not even close to being worth what they charged. 2) They're connected to 2 WORLD CLASS resorts that provide an extraordinary experience. For this place to fall below expectations in such an epic way was extremely disappointing. The excellence of the people skills of the staff brought this review from a 1 star to 2. The biggest issue? We bought a $100 20oz ribeye. Coming from Vegas, that's a justified price for a delicious steak. That's why we ordered it. What we got was a steak that tasted like it was cooked the day before and then microwaved before serving to us. Even after the remake. I would rather take a $14 steak from Costco that my wife cooks herself. Also what was mind blowing was how slooooooow the service was. I understand if food takes a while to come out, but a wine and cocktail took 30 minutes. We stayed at Mission Pacific Beach Resort (which was amazing) and Chase gave us food credit, so we decided to use the credit on Piper... big miss-steak. We will definitely be back to the resort, but will be avoiding Piper!

Very very average breakfast. The avocado toast is way too thin and small, not $20 value. 6% surcharge on bill, no idea what it's for. Beautiful restaurant & service was efficient.

The line here is ridiculous. Make sure to get a reservation or you could be waiting forever. We saw plenty of parties come and leave due to not being able to get seated. We got the buffet and the options are great. Only issue is it’s quite pricey and probably not worth it. $52 for adults and $30 for kids. Basically $200 for a family of 4. Specialty coffees and drinks are not included. Water, milk, regular coffee and whatever infused water they have are part of it. The spread is decent, but once again nothing too fancy or crazy. You’d expect more for the price. There’s an omelette station, but the line can be a bit long. It’s one guy running two pans. He probably has to make a couple hundred omelette a morning shift! If you want other eggs you’ll have to ask your server and hey can request it from the kitchen. Some of the things that were disappointing: - Specialty coffees are not included for the price - Some of the items run out and you have to wait for it to replenish which takes a bit. French toast ran out and our kids just passed on it - They have one toaster for the whole buffet, so you’re left waiting or just trying to get it every time you go get food - Checkin process is a little messy. We came around 10:50 to checkin and was told to come back at 11:00 but they never checked us in - The omelette station is at the end next to a bunch of tables. This results in a long line forming and lots of people passing through the tables that are there. Also results in a line that blocks off the buffet line There aren’t exactly a lot of options for breakfast around the area so I can see why it gets busy. Next time probably won’t do the buffet. Just too expensive for what you get.

Food was decent but the host was not thay friendly at all. It took 30mins or longer just to get seated even though it wasnt busy at all. When we got seated, one of the tongues for Buffet had a hair on it too. I told one of the servers about it and no actions were taken for sometime

We had the prosciutto appetizer as well as the focaccia bread, and salad with an apple vinegarette. Those dishes were fine but our main entree was not good at all. We got the short rib agnolotti, but it was way over salted and when I said this to the waitress, she just said it was very rich, which does not equate to super salty. Then the squid ink pasta with the crab had an overwhelmingly spicy sauce that overpowered the whole dish. This experience was not very good. But like I said, the other dishes that didn't involve much cooking were good.

The roasted mushrooms tasted great and special but the pumpkin could be cooked longer for a softer texture. The charred octopus tasted delicious; the octopus was very tender and highly recommended to give it a try. The restaurant interior was clean in general. The server was very polite and friendly; he has done a very good job to make the dinner enjoyable.

We had breakfast there and it was such a great atmosphere + good service. We were disappointed with the Chilaquiles… it was basically 90% taco shell mush with two baby fried eggs. Really wasn’t that good. The jam was delicious, as well as the fresh squeezed OJ!
