When preparing for a trip to Italy we received the best travel advice that we can recall and we have tried to apply it on each subsequent travel adventure. When facing the daunting task of attempting to experience all that Florence has to offer, the advice we received was: “you don’t ‘do’ Florence.” The application is simple enough. Florence offers such an extraordinary collection of experiences that if you attempt to cram everything in during a single trip you’ll end up exhausted and more numb than truly appreciative of what you’ve seen and done. Better to pace yourself and plan return visits.
Following up on the recommendation of @1ehernandez, we had similar feelings when reviewing the menu at this restaurant. Their menu offers such a complex collection of intriguing options that we immediately concluded that you don’t “do” Morning Glory in a single visit. Clearly additional visits are required in order to gain a fuller understanding of this unique breakfast destination and the irony was not lost on us that it is located within the Little Italy neighborhood of San Diego.
One of the most creative (and slightly intimidating) menus that I’ve seen, both our Lobster Omelette and Chorizo Grande were just as satisfying as we had hoped and my coffee being poured from a Turkish pot elevated the quality of our experience even further.
The dining room features an indoor/outdoor concept, so dress accordingly when visiting. During our visit it was
62 degrees and the sweaters we were wearing were appreciated. (Hey, for San Diego this is the dead of Winter and appropriate precautions must be taken to ensure one’s personal safety. 😉)
While you’ll have ample opportunities to visit given that their doors stay open until 3:00 (4:00 on weekends), we’d recommend making a reservation because this place is popular and walk-in’s having to wait to be seated is not uncommon.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
