Breakfast food and coffee were terrible. Overcooked greasy eggs, tasteless potatoes and full price! The coffee is warm and has no flavor. Fake creamer included!

I came here for breakfast during the first day of my stay in the Porto Vista Hotel. My advice is to stay away! First of all, the service is fine. It's their breakfast product that basically sucks. Terrible coffee with no flavor and not served hot along with coffee mate fake creamer. The eggs were not cooked as requested and came greasy along with the worst tasting potatoes I have ever had. Again, there are lots of good options in the area. Skip this one!

I think this bar should probably be shut down... the only reason it's in business is because it's attached to a hotel and it has a decent view of the water. I'm a local. We went on a Friday, 4pm-ish. First of all the elevator is rundown and we were pretty sure we were going to get stuck inside, luckily, no movement and no lights later... we miraculously made it to the 4th floor to Glass Door. We grabbed a seat, it was empty. The bartender told us there was no cook therefore food was unavailable. That was OK. Although we wanted a bite, drinks were our main mission. The bartender brought us the regular menu and would have been 100% happy to charge us full price- even though it was HH. We had to ask for the HH menu... Next, they were also out of the sangria which was 1 of 5 drinks available on HH. Again, trying to go with the flow, after all it's Friday after work. We get margaritas. I JOKE YOU NOT- this bartender gave us just the margarita mix. I have drank a lot of drinks in my life and this had ZERO tequila. My friend said the exact same thing. We didn't see him come around again and had to wave him down for the check. I gave him feedback about the drink and he made a snarky comment about how it did have tequila. I promise you it didn't. We had just come from a place that made a real margarita and what a difference. Do not go here. Do not let a nice website or a review of Happy Hour King fool you. This place is rundown and they do not make proper drinks. I blame the Manager of the establishment. This was one of the worst places I've been to for a drink in San Diego and I'm born and raised. What a shame!

The food was cold in general , the rice was old, dry and hard. Tacos they looked like tostadas, the tortillas were hard. Service was great though

I like a lot of things about this place including the view, unique decor, outdoor lounge area and how it is just 1 block away from the main drag and is usually not crowded. That being said, every time I have been here it has been empty and perhaps too much of a hidden gem since it is in the Porto Vista hotel and noticed there was only a small sign on the sidewalk. I think this place has great potential and more visibility/marketing would help. The happy hour is pretty good here which includes drink and food specials. On this occasion We ordered the chicharrones & guac and Cali fries from the happy hour menu but opted for non-happy hour drinks including a mojito and a mezcal cocktail. Their cocktails are good and the happy hour prices are fair.

Food was mediocre at best. Our waiter had terrible body order. Actually made it hard to enjoy the meal. I ate at Glass Door maybe a decade or so ago and I remember the food being a lot better. It was completely empty in there on a Friday night at 7pm.

The food was bland and cheap tasting. The server was nice but had horrible body order. I would suspect this place does not have much longer due to it being empty on a Friday night.

We were disappointed, but it may have been my fault! I read an article that listed this place as a brunch spot in San Diego's “top 25”! It is neither one-maybe the article was just old? They do not offer brunch, and everything was just very basic, 3-star hotel bar meh. We were literally the only people there other than a couple who walked in, looked around and left. Stale tortilla chips and lackluster guac, blackberry mojitos consisted of a mix, no mint, and 2 blackberries topped by ice. Nothing muddled. Might be ok for watching sports and a beer if you are traveling for work. Not a brunch spot.
