Hope 46 Classic American Cuisine

The Lafayette offers a beautiful setting, excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable servers, and delicious food at reasonable prices. It's a fantastic dining experience overall!

The atmosphere was excellent. The presentation and quality of food was good. Pricing for the food was relatively expensive, but I 'm certain it 's because of supply chain issues and inflation. Service was acceptable in that labor shortages are expected and there only seemed to be one guy waiting on all the tables. I felt sorry for the poor waiter as he had to do everything from sweeping, wiping down tables, taking orders for all the customers. It was a bit much for one person. I definitely appreciated him. But when prices are that high, we need better services and the food should be a bit more 'special. ' The wedge salad $12 grilled salmon $8. Should have been $9 for salad and $6 for salmon. The steak fritas $28. Better price should have been $17

I visited this restaurant for a weekend breakfast/brunch and was quite disappointed. I ordered the Short-Rib Eggs Benedict, but the short rib was cold and didn't have much flavor. The potatoes were slightly undercooked and also needed seasoning. My husband had sausage links, which were tasty, but that was the only dish that had good flavor. On a positive note, the atmosphere was lovely, and although the waitstaff seemed understaffed, they did a commendable job.

Love dining here when I'm staying at the Lafayette. The beautiful poolside setting, laid-back atmosphere, and delicious food, not to mention the friendly and accommodating staff, have me returning again and again whenever I'm in San Diego. A hidden gem!

Do not waste your time or money here. I came here for brunch on a Saturday with 3 of my friends and we were all very disappointed. We were greeted promptly and the ambiance was lovely minus the army of flies), but other than that, everything else was terrible. We ordered our drinks all of us ordered wine so shouldn 't take longer than a couple minutes to pour and bring out) and one of us had to go get up after about 15 minutes to go ask for our drinks. The waitress said, oh sorry the bartender is just now pouring them. We watched multiple other tables sit down after us and get their drinks before us. The second issue we ran into was 2 people ordered the salmon Benedict dish, which clearly states on the menu that it comes with an English muffin. Our waitress brought them both out without an English muffin. When I asked her where the English muffins were she said, Our salmon Benedict is the only one without the English muffin. So I pulled up the menu, which again, clearly states that they do in fact come with an English muffin. When I showed it to her she said, Oh my chef thought they didn 't come with an English muffin, but I 'll let him know. She did bring some out to us eventually. Our third issue was my friend ordered garlic fries and she received normal fries. Instead of bringing her garlic fries our waitress brought her a side of garlic! She did not even acknowledge the fact that she messed up at didn 't ring in garlic fries. Our fourth issue was that our Benedict 's were severely overcooked. I have never ever eaten a Benedict with a yolk cooked this much. Both of ours were basically hard boiled eggs. Our fifth issue was asking her for water multiple times and then eventually having to ask another waitress for waters. In the end, she gave us our checks and gave us a whopping 15% off $2.70 total off my bill) and never acknowledged any of the above issues. I do have the name of the waitress however, I do not wish to call her out. Hopefully she can get it together and realize that her terrible service is causing the Lafayette to lose business and a good name. Overall, all 4 of us were highly dissatisfied with our experience and will not be returning.
