The Presley

We stopped in for an early dinner and we loved the outdoor seating; the vibe was relaxing. We’re in Liberty Station every week and we hear planes passing through all the time; usually we don’t notice them, but when you are sitting for a meal and trying to have a conversation, those planes are damn loud. It didn’t ruin anything for us, but it may be unpleasant for unsuspecting diners. The service was fantastic. Our waiter was super friendly and a good conversationalist. He was also attentive and efficient. We ordered their fish and chips, wood fired flat top burger, kids chicken tenders and Parker house rolls. The rolls were airy, buttery and salty. It was a good start to our meal. The spicy remoulade for the fish was amazing, but the fish and the batter were bland. The burger was juicy and well cooked, but under seasoned. The fries however, were crispy and delicious. The chicken tenders were cooked well, but again, bland. For dessert, we ordered their roast your own s’mores. The dessert was a fun activity for the family. They were generous with the servings as well. For my drink, I ordered their chai vanilla old fashioned and let me tell you, it was the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. The whiskey was smooth and the chai vanilla rendered a slightly sweet after taste. Overall, the entrees left us disappointed, but the meal had positive highlights. We paid $193.16 with tip.

The Presley is located in Liberty Station which offers cozy outdoor ambiance. We have been coming here to have brunch after our annual pumpkin patch visit across the street. We never needed to have advanced reservations to eat here (other restaurants nearby require an hour or so of wait time) as this place is large and can sit a big group with minimal wait time. Restaurant has a limited menu and slightly on the pricey side. The Presley has a great outdoor patio/seating overlooking other shops and terraces in Liberty Station to have a small meal to chit chat with family/friends on a nice sunny day. They are also dog friendly and even brought out a bowl of water for our puppy. However, food at best is average and nothing stands out or above average. We were disappointed with the food quality and lack of skills to execute even a simple egg Benedict dish due to the butter heavy handed Hollandaise sauce and the egg whites were underdone and runny. Not sure how the kitchen staff could messed up a simple classic dish. The clam chowder soup came out lukewarm but did have a fair amount of clams. Coffee was lukewarm again and not hot. Our main entrees came out almost 30 minutes after the appetizers were served without any explanation or communication from the waitstaff. The seared Ahi tuna was not seared well and possibly not fresh as the person who ate the ahi tuna salad got stomachache in the evening. Overall, the location is convenient but the food is mediocre.

Ordered Basic Breakfast, Breakfast Sando, and Schnitzel & Eggs. Roasted breakfast potatoes were very nicely cooked and good bite sized pieces. This was on all 3 of the plates ordered. The Schnitzel & Eggs is a great option if you're feeling up for a filling meal, good enough to cover breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon bite. I requested eggs over easy and these were very good, enough liquid yolk afterward to mix with the pork loin. The pork loin was a very nice piece, not over-crisped; the gravy helps and so does a bit of the yolk too if it feels dry. The atmosphere here is great, staff are very patient and kind, and the location has mostly an outdoor setup. It's airy, spacious, you don't feel claustrophobic but there is spacious indoor seating as well. Rare for rain to impact the seating area but we were fortunate for the rain to stop shortly before we arrived. Thankfully wait times are short for brunch as well (5 minutes for us because they wanted to clean an outdoor table for us) and my group was very glad to make it over here. If you're considering Breakfast Republic one block over, reconsider and come here instead. The long waits and high paced feel of Breakfast Republic feel opposite to what The Presley offers. So come here!

My wife and I were looking for a nice place to eat on a Saturday late afternoon recently and found The Presley in the Liberty Station area. We requested outdoor dinning as we always do and were promptly seated without a reservation. Our server came to our table quickly to take our drink order. Minutes later she came back with our drinks and took our main order of a Flank Steak for me and a Chicken salad for my wife. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Prices are a little bit high but you know what? Everything is expensive right now. We will definitely come back when in the area.

I chose to dine here for their variety of egg benedict options & left disappointed in our experience overall. We were greeted by a host who seemed overwhelmed (granted the restaurant was packed). She didn’t leave the best first impression but we moved forward and wanted to give this place a fair chance. I was excited for the bloody mary after looking at other reviews. It was tasty but missing the bacon (something their menu specifically states is included). We asked our server if she could bring it out & she kindly did which I appreciated! All 3 of us ordered the steak & eggs benedict. After waiting 45 mins for our food, I slice into my first egg to discover it wasn’t over-easy or even over-medium, but over-hard. I was shocked. Five of six eggs served to us were cooked over-hard, something that is unacceptable when paying $22+ per plate. The steak was tender & flavorful, but honestly, with no runny egg yolk, the benedict was a flop. Our server admitted that it was unacceptable & brought another egg out (in replacement for my hard boiled egg), which was cooked correctly. On the other hand, the potatoes were crispy & very tasty. I understand that when a restaurant is busy & the kitchen is behind, that meals can be delayed and service may be slow. I don’t find it acceptable to serve over cooked food. Additionally, the place seemed to be run by all young adults, who, quite frankly, could have better attitudes. We went from being excited to try this place, to laughing at how ridiculous our experience was by the end of our meal.

The food at Presley is just as classy as the atmosphere! The place is very tastefully decorated in a very relaxed and comfortable way, making for a very chill and easy experience. The hostess was super friendly and welcoming offering us several different seating options. We opted for a high top tucked back a bit in the shade. Our server was just as friendly and inviting, making us feel even more welcome. The food was amazing, absolutely amazing! We started with the lobster sliders which were delightful! Seriously, almost anything on Hawaiian rolls is delightful, they were no exception! I got the grilled turkey wrap and hubby got the seared ahi. Both meals were cooked perfect and presented very beautifully. The wrap of the sandwich was still warm from being grilled! The honey mustard sauce was perfectly subtle and the steak fries were hot and fresh. Hubby's tuna was seared to perfection and the tuna was melt in your mouth delicious! I know I used the word perfect a bit too much but when everything lines up between atmosphere, service, food and drinks there's no other word to use!! I highly recommend The Presley and will definitely be back!

Very nice spot in Liberty Station! I heard this place for a while and finally got a chance to try it out. The outdoor patio is very lovely and cozy. We are a group of people and we ordered different food items. They all look delicious. I ordered a classic egg Benedict which is very yummy, the poached egg is cooked beautifully. The hollandaise sauce tastes very nice, I enjoyed my dish a lot. We orders bottle mimosas and Bloody Mary, both are good. I will recommend here for sure.

Good food and good service. The one reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because they forgot part of my friend's meal order. However, they were really apologetic about it. Other than that this place is great! Their bathrooms are amazing and they have a meal option for almost everyone! And they have fantastic cocktails! Would definitely come here again. It's also right next to the markets at liberty station so it's an excellent location for a birthday/date plan.

The Presley offers a cozy outdoor ambiance under the stars with yummy dishes and cocktails. My friend and I tried out the new menu items and LOVED every bit of it. Our server was so nice and recommended the best items for us. Below is what we ordered: CRISPY BACON & BRUSSELS applewood bacon * brussels sprouts * shallot * balsamic reduction * pecorino romano SEAFOOD SLIDERS maine lobster meat * shrimp * chive * grilled sweet corn * shallot * lemon mayo * butter toasted hawalian rolls SHRIMP SCAMPI PASTA red grape tomato * artichoke hearts * shallot * capellini pasta * garlic white wine sauce * grilled baguette 12 oz BONELESS RIBEYE demi-glace * potato purée Cali Chai Old Fashioned bulleit bourbon, vanilla chai simple syrup, angostura bitters Gold Manhattan buffalo trace bourbon, amaro nonino liqueur, golden galernum spiced liqueur, angostura bitters Ocean Peach peach infused vodka, raspberry liqueur, simple syrup, tresh lemon juice, tresh raspberries

Came here about a month ago and had an amazing experience- excellent service, amazing food/drink and nice atmosphere. On that day, my party had the breakfast sando (recommended by our server), classic breakfast and French toast. Also had Bloody Mary's. Everything was good...did not love the French toast but it wasn't bad. Decided to return (today) and everything was sub par. Service was slow, no attention to detail, drinks took forever to arrive. We also made a reservation weeks ago and they put us at some random table in the middle of the patio. There were so many other cozier looking spots that were open. Thought this was odd, but did not want to complain and we weren't too upset since we remember the food being so good last time. Finally had our drinks, and they forgot mycoffee. Had to ask again for it (no big deal). By the time we finally had all our drinks, the food came out. The menu specifically says the breakfast sando comes with an over easy egg. That egg/yolk was harder than a brick! By the time we got our server's attention to ask for a new egg, all our food was cold. They offered to remake the whole sandwich. By the time the new one came out the rest of my party finished their food/it was completely cold and they took away the incorrectly made sandwich. The food was not as good as it was last time. Decided to try the Steak and eggs Benedict and it was just bad. Everything tasted off. Can't quite put my finger on it. Potatoes were mushy too. When the check came, they charged me for both sandwiches!! ($19 x2). Thankfully our server came back to edit the check (didn't have to request it). Overall, not impressed. Not sure if I'll return. If I do, it likely won't be for a while. Too bad because we really loved it that first time and recommended this place to our friends/family.

I'd been thinking about trying this place for a while. I don't know that we'll come back or that it's a must go but it was nice to visit and we enjoyed our evening. 5 stars for service, 5 stars for my cocktail, 3.5 for the patio, 3-4 for food. SERVICE: exceptionally nice. The hostess was very welcoming, and I could see that the waitstaff here really likes working here (one server had her mom visiting and there was another table with a former staff member that everyone kept visiting). PATIO: large, and with good heaters. But there are three areas, and the one we were in (farthest from the road) needs some more greenery or decoration. It was lots of concrete. But the heater was nice! COCKTAIL: Got the Bee's Knees. A perfect little cocktail, with gin, simple syrup, mint, lime and cucumber. Enjoyed it thoroughly. APPETIZER: Parker House Rolls "with truffle butter". These were ok, like undercooked King's Hawaiian Rolls. They weren't bad, but I wouldn't recommend these. My sweetie got the LIBERTY GREENS. This was a week ago and I'm not remembering whether he loved it or not. I know I had some of the goat cheese and it was tasty. I think he liked the dressing? ENTREES: I got the Horseradish Crusted Salmon. I liked the potatoes. The spinach was fine (nothing to shout about). I did not like the "smoked tomato purée," but it was fine leaving it on the side. The salmon was pretty good; interesting crust. Not a must-have dish, but I liked it. Spouse did one of their steaks (I don't remember which). I did like the potato purée that came with it. DESSERT: he got the Roast Your Own Smores and liked it. So overall, this is not a restaurant I'm shouting about that you need to visit. But we like Liberty Station and it was fun to try here and we had a nice evening. They're definitely friendly and the food is good if not spectacular, and the patio is comfortable if not the best!

Had a meetup here with a large group outside. The service was really good and they made a lot of effort to accommodate our large group. The food was good, but some things were a little underwhelming, like the French toast. And the potatoes needed some salt. The parkerhouse rolls were delicous and warm and one of my favorites. Unfortunately, where we sat, it wasn't fully covered and pieces of the trees kept falling in our hair, food and drinks.

I was so happy to come to this place and the happy hour they had but it got bad all of a sudden. House wines and beers are $7 on happy hour which is regular price (specially for beers) in other places..what a bummer! Staff is still amazing but I was a little disappointed.

This place doesn't have the best service. Waitress seems like she could've had a better attitude. I felt like we were putting her out. Not a good feeling. I had to ask the hostess for the happy hour menus. She only gave us the regular menus when she seated us. It was a chilly gray day evening but there were plenty of heaters. I ordered the Brussels sprouts with balsamic and bacon and onions. It was $13 and plenty for me, and I have a good appetite! They were cooked well and charred nicely but they needed a lot more balsamic reduction and onions. Pretty skimpy. My friends had the happy hour salad with salmon and it was just so so. Nothing special. My other friends had the shrimp tacos with fries and she was very happy. I was not impressed by this place. Expensive and not that good. Oh well

Over the years, Liberty Station has certainly upped its restaurant game. I know everyone complains about the lack of parking, and it can be a problem, but honestly, I've always found a spot somewhere with a few minutes of trying. The Presley (no relation to Elvis, I assume) is massive and sprawling but I would still recommend making a reservation. It's very casual so come as you are. It's kid friendly, too. It sort of has a sports bar vibe--some nasty MMA action was directly in my line of sight when I looked upward from my seat--but I wouldn't call it a sports bar. There's plenty of outdoor seating which would be nice on a sunny day. Everyone orders the Parker House rolls as an appetizer and they are good. They come out quickly and are very fresh and hot and slightly sweet, too. For our entrees, we tried the Chicken Pesto Flatbread, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and the cheeseburger with bacon added. The flatbread is very nice. You get a huge portion and it has lots of flavor. I must say I was disappointed with the chicken sandwich. The chicken was overcooked and didn't have a drop of juice left in it. The sandwich itself is nice enough with all of the toppings but man, that poor chicken gave his life for this? The burger was very good. I wolfed the whole thing down. If you are in the mood for a burger, this is a nice one. For dessert, the make your own s'mores is a crowd pleaser. They bring this mini charcoal bbq of sorts to your table and, indeed, you can roast some marshmallows and make s'mores, if that's your jam, so to speak. I don't have a sweet tooth but the s'mores tasted very s'more-y to me. They are good. Service was friendly, a little too hipster, and definitely a little too absent. I guess that's a new thing in the hospitality industry: disappear for long stretches at a time. As others have noted, in small print at the bottom of the menu, there is a 4% "surcharge" on top of your bill. The stated menu prices are already pretty high. I know, I know, increased costs, etc. I get it. Covid, inflation, hurricanes, locusts, etc. But I really feel that is a BS charge added onto everyone's bill that most people will not notice until it's too late. If it's really necessary, increase your prices. Most people don't read the fine print and it's a nasty surprise when they get the bill. This is a sneaky charge even if it's for raising money for wounded veteran orphan manatees. Good food, somewhat spotty service, nice looking place, and a 4% surcharge. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner.

Cute restaurant perfect for brunch, even for big parties. The outside patio is really nice. Tried the Steak n Egg Benedict which I was happy with. Plenty of tender steak and the egg Benedicts were prepared nicely. Add hot sauce! Service was okay; friendly during the times we interacted with any employee but not so memorable or out of the ordinary

I visited here today with a large party, and found that not only is the ambiance and setup here very stunning, but the food is as well! They take reservations for large parties, so it was the perfect place for a retirement send off lunch. They have a small menu, but there is something for everyone- they have salads, sandwiches, flat breads, grain bowls, and more. They even have the option to roast your own s'mores (for $12). It was expensive for s'mores, but it was a nice communal activity, roasting marshmallows together. The servers were attentive and friendly as well.

This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Liberty Station! They have the cutest vibes here, love the decor. Perfect for a day that is a little warmer but they have space heaters as well if needed and they allow pups so that's always a plus for me to be able to see the cutest little friends here. The food is always delicious, they never miss a beat with that! The last couple times I've gone the service was a little slower than usual but they always make up for it with yummy food and drinks.

Just enjoyed a lovely brunch in this Location. The service was attentive and relaxing. Such a wonderful spot to sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous San Diego weather. I would highly recommend it Cocktail : Sausalito Spritz Spinach and artichoke dip Eggs Benedict Avocado toast

Every time I have been here I have received great service. The location is great and close to other attractions. The Presley sits in the middle an old Navy base. The ambiance at the restaurant is great with the outside seating and the indoor bar. The outside seating has a view of the grassy area and part of the golf course. The food at this place has never steered me wrong and have only had great food. The bread is the best and should always be ordered no matter what.

This place is so cute! Plenty of seating with a beautiful outdoor area. Service was fast and friendly! I really liked the variety of cocktails they had, they had a dole whipped mimosa with whipped cream that was really tasty! The menu also has some great brunch options and flatbreads. The bacon and shrimp tacos caught my eye, it was really good! The shrimp was tasty and the sauce was excellent. Although I felt like it was missing something, maybe avocado in the tacos would have made this dish a 10/10. Overall I really enjoyed this place, food, drinks, and service were all fantastic.

Came on a Saturday at 4:30 as a party of six. The place is very nicely decorated and we enjoyed sitting outside. We ordered Parker rolls and brussels for the table . I got the shrimp lettuce wraps and they were very fresh and delicious. We then got s'mores and bread pudding for the table.

Cool little spot to have brunch. Friendly staff and pet friendly as well. Food was awesome and nice IG worthy pic shots avail. Definitely will be back this time with more family members.

We loved The Presley! We were able to sit outside with a puppy and had a great time. The food was very good, we loved our drinks and coffee, and the ambiance was very relaxing. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. We would recommend the Presley to anyone!

The Presley staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating in hosting my friend's birthday party. Brie made sure that everything was in place and let us in early to set up. Because the Presley closes when it's raining and this was on a rainy day, she was very communicative in updating us with what was happening. Blake was our server, and was very friendly and patient with our large group, and accurate and efficient with everything he did. The Presley staff all made this event so amazing with all our different needs. We really appreciated them, their delicious food, and their wonderful outdoor space, and would be eager to return here again. Everyone went above and beyond and we had such a wonderful time! Thank you again for making this such a wonderful and amazing celebration!

Came here recently for a weekend brunch with my boyfriend-such a cute place and looks like a great place to hang out with a group! I ordered the arugula and Brussels salad and loved the mix of textures and flavors! He had the steak and eggs and was very happy with the steak, less impressed with the potatoes which seemed undercooked. Attentive waiter and timely service!

Came here on a Friday night with a group of 6. Reservations were made and the place wasn't very busy, so we got to our table quickly. Parking can be a challenge in the Liberty Station area, but this Friday night wasn't very busy at all. We found a place to park nearby. The night was pretty chilly, but they had plenty of heaters around so it was nice and cozy. The service was great. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and welcoming. I liked their seating arrangement, very spaced out and beautiful plants they had throughout the place. I looooooove me a Bloody Mary and this place made one of the yummiest ones I have had in a while. I got a skirt steak with chimichurri, it was delicious. The arugula salad wasn't my fave but it was pretty good, I'm not really a fan of arugula so I'm not really a good judge. The brussel sprouts were whole and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, I like them more crunchy, but the rest of our party liked it. Overall a great meal and dining experience! Their pricing is pretty good for great quality food. Would definitely come back.

Location is convenient if you're at Liberty Station.The food is just not that good, though. Consistently. The last time was particularly subpar. It was the quality of ingredients not the recipe, if that makes sense...

Service was phenomenal from start to finish. Very friendly staff that are efficient and inviting, creating a fun and pleasant environment. The food was top notch! Everything was great from appetizers to sides and mains as well as desserts. The drinks were delicious and well made. S'mores was a fun touch to the date night but the bread pudding was amazing! My favorite bread pudding hands down. The Demi glace for the steak was delicious and the shrimp scampi was fantastic

A dog friendly dining gem! We were a party of 7 with two larger dogs and the first win here was they take reservations, the second being their outdoor seating area had artificial grass which made it nice to sit on for the pups. While service was a bit on/off during our meal we enjoyed our time here AND they had a nice little menu for the pups too! I had the Presley bowl with some grilled shrimp which was delicious. We also ordered some Parker House roles for the table which were super tasty. The burgers were solid and a couple people ordered flatbreads. The entire outdoor area is spaced out nicely so that you are not sitting on top of your neighbor which we liked.

Very dog friendly restaurant. They brought her a bowl of water and set us up in a good spot where my dog felt safe. Food was tasty. Pup patty was so good that my dog kept asking for another....

What an amazing night celebrating my wife's 50th birthday and in my humble opinion at the best restaurant and dining experience in all of San Diego. Came across the restaurant three years ago and it has become like family to us. Grateful for Bryce our server yesterday and the entire Pressley Team. Thank you for hosting our special event! You are the best!!!

Fantastic find in Liberty Station! Friendly and accommodating hostesses, wonderful and attentive waiters, and amazing food! Ambiance is so cute and chic, very modern and nice to spend some time in. Outdoor seating has plenty of heaters! We were nice and toasty. Wonderful place, will be back!

I have had brunch here once and came back for happy hour to check out the food options. I got the flatbread with gorgonzola, it was good, but this type of cheese needs something to cut the richness. I would have love some sliced pears or a hint of spice to balance it out. My friend liked her tacos, I believe she got the shrimp tacos. Cocktail of the month can be found on their online menu, this month April '23 they have a watermelon mojito. It's amazing and tastes like summer! Ambiance of The Presley draws you in, the vibe keeps you there for longer than hour as they provide a really comfortable space for you to catch up with friends or enjoy a celebration. Brunch at this place is also a really amazing vibe.

Trying to get some late night eats before the kitchen closed and The Presley came to the rescue. Last seating is at 9pm BTW. They have ample outdoor seating and some inside so this is a nice spot for day or night. There were a lot of large tables too which is great for big groups. For our appetizer, we got the fried calamari and shishito peppers. Such a great combo! Light on the fry and the peppers were nicely salted. Dinner included skirt steak and a flat top cheeseburger- Yes we added bacon and YES we added avocado (for an extra charge). The steak came out medium rare as asked AND the burger was stacked. Quality ingredients, wish I had another. Don't forget the ranch (wink) Def recommended the chai old fashioned too!

First time here. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the Ahi Salad. For dessert, we had the bread pudding and smores.

The vibes are great for a sunny San Diego brunch! I really love the Presley and actually asked my girlfriends to be my bridesmaids after brunch here! It's a go to spot when we have friends in town. Super cute and aesthetic with tasty food and lots of options. It's located on the side of liberty station near the public market and has both indoor and outdoor seating options. I highly recommend making reservations ahead of time.

Parking- It's pretty busy on weekends, so I recommend you take ride share or carpool there. Parking is limited near the restaurant. Ambiance - Cool outdoor vibe with a rustic feel. They do have some heat lamps, but they are definitely depending on the normal perfect SD weather. If it's cold outside, you will get cold. Food - we ordered the french toast, seafood sliders and shrimp/bacon tacos. All of it was tasty. The french toast was huge! I wish it had a little more lemon curd sauce.

I was a little bit disappointed because I expected more. I came here for restaurant week and the food wasn't that great. The turkey wrap was just like any other wrap I feel like and the chef special ice cream sandwich wasn't as special as I hoped. It wasn't that good in my opinion. The decor inside and outside is nice though! They may need more staffing because we sat for maybe 20-30 minutes trying to get the check.

I really like this restaurant, everything: the vibes, outdoor space and above all the dole whip mimosa. To be honest, I mostly come here for the dole whip mimosa which tastes exactly like the ice cream and is the perfect brunch drink. The location is near perfect, great for after spin class, golf or paddleboarding. They usually have open reservations and even as a walk up the wait is usually minimal since the restaurant itself is rather large. This is also a great place to meet friends or bring a large group. Every visit I have seen some sort of celebratory gathering with at least 10 people. In my opinion, this would be a perfect place for a bachelorette party brunch - dole whip mimosas all around! I recommend checking this place out, you will love the space and the food and drinks are good too!

I was looking forward to the Schnitzel, but it sadly missed the mark. The dish was bland and overly oily, to the point where I had to use napkins to soak up the excess. Flavor-wise, it seemed to lack seasoning, including a forgetful omission of salt. The cooking was inconsistent, with parts undercooked and pink, while others were overdone and tough to chew. In retrospect, the eggs benny might have been a better choice. On a positive note, the meal had its redeeming moment with the bread and truffle butter, which were truly delightful.

The Presley is a cute indoor/outdoor restaurant at Liberty Station. Although you may not get the closest spot every time, there is plenty of street and lot parking around the restaurant. The staff was nice and provided quick service. If it's cold outside, they have some heating lamps that get you quite toasty. There are plenty of food options to try- we went with the fish and chips and some seafood sliders. Definitely recommend the fish and chips! They were fluffy and very tasty and came with a side of steak fries. The seafood sliders were good but we were a bit disappointed with these. I was hopingn to taste the lobster a bit more but couldn't really taste any of it let alone any seafood. It was still good but maybe I was hoping for more a lobster roll slider... either way, the food was good and we weren't upset and place the blame on ourselves for ordering something completely different from what we were thinking. We will have to come back as we really do like everything about this place.

I have been wanting to come here for the longest time and finally did with my MeetUp Sisterhood International Society group. The ambiance was beautiful, but we didn't pick a good day to come here. It was New Year's Eve and there were light sprinkles. We were seated on the patio, and the netted cover did not exactly provide adequate coverage from the rain. We didn't get wet, but could definitely feel a few sprinkles! I was debating between a healthy avocado toast or the French toast. I made the mistake of ordering the avocado toast. That was a really, really bad move. It was awful. The herb sourdough toast was hard. It had a thin layer of avocado spread on it, smoked salmon, arugula, a poached egg, pickled red onions, crispy capers, and a lot of dill crema. These ingredients did not go well together at all. How can you mess up an avocado toast?! It was horrible and a complete waste of my $16. One of my friends also ordered the avocado toast and agreed it was the worst she has ever had. We were both very dissatisfied. One of the ladies ordered the French toast and I was staring at it and drooling I barely ate my avocado toast and wanted to order the French toast, but they were out of it. It was only 11:30am and they ran out of French toast? Well that was disappointing... My first time here wasn't a great one and I am somewhat hesitant to return. The service was just ok.

Although the food was good, the service slows down a lit after 9pm. Seems their focus is on closing up rather than the ordered food or drinks.

We went for Saturday brunch about 11:30 we did have reservations. Seated promptly however I don't like sitting at high tops so I asked for another table which was perfect for us. Server was great and even went through the menu since we have someone with a gluten allergy. All our food was hot, fresh and tasty. Guess dole whip mimosa is the thing to try. Two in my party had it and loved it. Since it's right next to the airport and in the flight path you may have to pause your conversation for a couple of seconds. It's a beautiful restaurant with a chill vibe. I would come again maybe next time at night and sit at a fire pit.

Came here for restaurant week. Had been meaning to try it since it's "in our neighborhood". Four of tried 4 different apps (Brussels sprout and arugula salad, charred cauliflower, flatbread, and calamari with shishito peppers), and 3 different main dishes (Presley bowl, fish and chips, and Turkey wrap). They all ranged from decent to pretty good. Nothing mind blowing and nothing terrible. They did manage to hit one of my biggest pet peeves, ran out of sauce with our fish and chips and asked for a couple more to finish our dish - when we got the bill we had been charged for it. Not a huge amount, but really nickel and dimey feeling to be charged for condiments to accompany the meal. The outdoor seating area was nice on a beautiful San Diego day and we were seated right away. Service was good, although, somewhat unattentive as we struggled to even see our wait staff when we needed something. Overall decent experience sans the charge for the condiments. Would certainly not avoid this place in the future; but not sure if coming running back either.

Cute lil brunch place or dinner place! Went here on a Friday evening with a group of gals and the ambiance here does not disappoint! The patio is also dog friendly. They have really good drinks here & different typical casual American dinner foods. I had a turkey wrap with fries which was decent, but the portions are definitely generous here. But regardless of what you get, you HAVE to get the rolls!! THESE ARE A MUST!! Located in Liberty Station so there is plentiful parking.

I've had a positive experience both times I've come here! This place is your classic bougie millenial vibe but I am all for it. Think bold and pastel colors, string lights, large outdoor space with lots of succulents and plants, fun frozen drinks and a fruity cocktail menu. Great place to have a large party, takes reservations, and usually seats you quickly. I had the dole whip mimosa the first time I came and the lava flow frozen drink in mocktail form the second time I was here. Both very sweet and tasty! For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, mocktails aren't on the menu but you can ask your server about them -- they're also way cheaper (can't remember the exact price but I think it was like $5-7ish). The parker house rolls came highly recommended by the server and I would definitely second that recommendation. Great way to start: warm, rich, soft, and so buttery. We devoured it so quickly I don't have a photo of it. My party ordered the bacon & shrimp tacos, the schnitzel & eggs, the wood-fired flat top burger, avocado toast and the pepperoni flatbread for brunch. Delicious with great portions, the only plate that was a bit of a miss for us was the avocado toast which just felt like it had way too much going on flavor-wise and was too bulky to actually take a good bite. Also it was served with the kind of fruit that triggers you every time (think cantelope, melon, etc) because you've seen it served at way too many free lunches and continental breakfasts. Definitely recommend this place if you love a playful outdoorsy atmosphere, fun drinks and a solid food selection plus good parking and not too many crowds!!

Service was actually amazing, gabby was honest and a very friendly warm person! Food was great! The reason why a one star review is because of the service charge added (4%) to my bill. That needs to be taken down so we actually get what we order. Seeing that on the bill kills the whole vibe and angers people as they leave.

Came for brunch to celebrate a birthday and ordered the karaage chicken wings and the chicken pesto flat bread for our appetizers. The chicken wings were definitely unique but lacked a bit in flavor / seasoning. The karaage part is really just the type of batter used on the wings. I would probably skip the wings next time. we enjoyed the flatbread though. My favorite for this brunch would be the mascaparone stuffed French toast. 5/5 Our server was very attentive and came to check on us frequently to refill waters. The ambiance is nice, with ample outdoor seating just like the other establishments in the liberty public market area.

Met up with my close friend in San Diego on a Friday night! We wanted to find something where parking was reasonable and we did not have to circle for hours and close to something fun where we did not have to WAIT to be seated for hours! Turns out The Presley met all those requirements. Located at Liberty Station (an old renovated marine base), we found parking quickly and easily, and the Presley had virtually no wait! The San Diego Sunrise and Ocean Peach cocktails were perfect complements to our meal. Nolan was our server, and he was wonderful. He helped us select drinks, made suggestions about food, and chatted with us. Everything was delicious, and the perfect size. We shared the tacos and the ice cream sandwich as well as the flatbread. The drinks were on point. Perfect Friday evening for old college friends. We weren't even that far from my hotel and it beat driving around for hours trying to find parking in downtown.

Mhm I'm not sure. We made reservations before hand because we thought it would be busy on a Sunday and 3; But surprisingly the restaurant wasn't busy at all. BUT even though it wasn't busy it roughly took about an hour for our food to come out and we were pretty disappointed. My party and I ordered the artichoke dip, The Presley bowl, the horseradish crusted salmon, and the shrimp scampi pasta. The artichoke dip was actually super good and it was paired with some yummy bread. The Presley bowl was honestly not that great, it's just quinoa mixed with a bunch of different vegetables. Overall it was okay.

I recently dined at The Presley in Point Loma, and while the ambiance and food were commendable, I was left extremely disappointed by their questionable business practices. The major letdown came in the form of an unannounced 4% post-tax surcharge, leaving a sour taste in my mouth and tarnishing an otherwise pleasant dining experience. As a customer, I believe it is essential for any additional charges to be communicated transparently before making a purchase. Regrettably, The Presley failed to disclose this surcharge during the ordering process. It felt like a hidden fee that only surfaced when the bill arrived, catching diners off guard and leaving no room for negotiation or informed decision-making. Such undisclosed surcharges can have a considerable impact on the overall dining cost, especially for groups or families. It is not just about the 4% extra charge, but the principle of transparency and customer trust that was breached. Restaurants should prioritize clear communication with their patrons, ensuring they are fully aware of all costs associated with their meal. While The Presley may have excellent food and atmosphere, this unannounced 4% post-tax surcharge left a lasting negative impression on me. It's crucial for businesses to prioritize honesty and openness with their customers, as such practices erode trust and ultimately hurt their reputation. Until they address this issue and become more forthright about their pricing policies, I sadly cannot recommend dining at The Presley in Point Loma.

The food was good but what really stole the show was the service! Every server was extremely welcoming and made my party want to come back! The bartender even offered my dog a treat and took photos of her for the restaurants dog page. The restaurant offers a dog friendly brunch menu that my dog LOVED. Will definitely be coming back

Great flavor and vibe, dog friendly also !!! We really like that each table has great space and privacy.

Been here a couple times now and each time has been great! Pros: patio is dog friendly, good selection for the family, drinks are good! Staff are very friendly and answered all our questions. Plenty of seating styles between indoor dining, outdoor tables, lounges, barstool seats near the bonfire each time you visit can be a different experience for you. My first time here was for a date night with the hubby and we sat at a lounge style table which was nice and private. Most recently we came here with 2 kids and our dog in tow and we sat at one of the outdoor dining tables and it was perfect for our family. Nights can get chilly but between the bonfire pts and heat lamps were were able to stay warm.

A really cute area. Our server was really nice and attentive. Bloody Mary with bacon and cheese was good. I ordered it extra spicy. Started with lobster sliders (there were 3 sliders in an order). Good combination of seafood, crunchy and sweet corn. We ordered Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Benedicts, and Burger. Food came out pretty fast and were tasty. The restaurant added 4% to offset price increases ... I wish they would just increase the price instead of adding charges like that ... I would return though.

best. steak. EVER. our waiter was super nice too:) love the ambiance and it's a perfect location.
