Seaview Breakfast Buffet Restaurant Reviews

The table height is very off-putting, but the food is very good and the price is decent for a hotel brunch. There are many fresh items offered including honeydew melon juice, and the hot items are very tasty

We had Christmas Day brunch at Lael's and it was excellent. There was a great variety of great food (although, interestingly, no turkey). Our server was really nice and it turns out that the 'Bottomless Mimosas' on the drinks menu are truly bottomless. She kept pouring if I could keep walking :)). Also the whole experience was very kid friendly; our four-year-old loved it.

Pricey, but great selection. The fresh yogurt was tasty. They make amazing omelets.

The variety of choices here is too great to list. I loved the lox and bagels and the yogurt options with wonderful toppings. Fresh fruit and juices cannot be beat.

I was disappointed with the variety on offer as compared to other hotels of this standard. Food was a little on the mundane side and pricey for what you got. Just didn't do it for me.

Great friendly service by Serawit, from Ethiopia. All the servers were friendly and cheerful. Excellent variety of buffet (have been to many 5 star hotel buffets lately): Smoked salmon, fresh fruit, prosciutto, Brie, etc. Large room with water-view windows.

Open only for breakfast. Decent buffet, but no ability to order ala carte, thus every meal was too expensive for light eaters. Heavy eaters would appreciate the choices.

A breakfast buffet but does have an omelette station where the kind chef fried 2 eggs over easy for me. She was swamped on that day but still cooked the prefect egg!

Full buffet was expensive ($26.00) so plan on filling up to make it worth it. Excellent waffles and omelet station.

This place offers a breakfast buffet with a great many options. There's something for everyone. Sometimes, they even have smoked salmon, which is exciting. Some vegetarian and a few gluten-free options. Some items change from day to day. Very expensive if not covered with the cost of the room.

The Seaview Breakfast Buffet was an incredible experience. The food was excellent, but what made this restaurant stand out from the rest was the extraordinary service. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I felt pampered. There were smiles all around, and every person on the staff was there to help. The omelet station is incredible and very well organized, the chef smiling and speaking to all. I want to give a special shout out for Serawit Cheru, who managed to be everywhere he needed to be all at once. He went out of his way to make everyone feel at home! He is definitely a great asset. Thank you to all the wait staff that made my breakfast experience truly great.

Service is great and the food is well worth the money! If you get the AAA rate it is included in you room at the Hyatt. Ask for Danny, he is top notch.

The cost was high for us @ $25 so we ate here only once, BUT the food was delicious and had everything you could imagine to eat. We enjoyed the omelets, crepes, steel cut oatmeal with fruit and nuts (several varieties), fresh fruit and berries, and delicious coffee. Good service. Very clean.

Wonderful yummy food with fantastic selection. Service was good & they even got a latte for me for no extra charge. Our room included our breakfast.

Expensive if you’re not going to fill up whilst eating but we had a day full of water sports when we ate breakfast here so it was a great start to the day to fill us up. The chef was really helpful when making omelets and the other staff were very attentive.

If you are staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, don't bother looking for breakfast anywhere else. The continental breakfast is excellent, and includes smoked salmon and lots of fresh fruit. Great value.

Great breakfast choices. You can have the continental buffet which includes: coffee, tea, juices, fruit, cereals, including the amazing homemade granola, yogurts, cottage cheese, salmon, breads and rolls or the full buffet which includes these choices plus a huge choice of hot entrees, a waffle bar, and an egg station and more. The food was all really good. It is a beautiful area for eating with friendly wait staff.

We were comped at this restaurant due to the Hyatt's Club Room being out of service for remodeling. The price per person was $24 and that's pretty high for people like us who are not big eaters and normally don't do buffets. The quantity and quality of the food was quite good, although we have certainly been to better buffets in Las Vegas and Hawaii. That being said it was certainly better than many others we have been to in the past. The service here was excellent in all respects. The food was good although there wasn't the selection of fruit I would have preferred and more choices to put in a custom omelet would have been nice. Pretty standard American buffet with most everything you would expect, but pretty pricey unless you really love to eat.

I ate here because it was the only place where I could have a sit-down breakfast in the hotel. At $28 per person, this is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. The worse part is that there is no a la carte menu, so you have the buffet or the buffet, which is not good when you want to have something light or you desire something in particular. As to the food, it was good and the buffet had many good selections.

This was a really great restaurant! We stayed in this hotel for three days and after eating here once we decided to make reservations for all three mornings! First off the staff was amazing. We had the same waiter all three mornings and each morning he brought us the most delicious hot chocolate. I know what you're all thinking . . . hot chocolate in San Diego? I know it sounds crazy but seriously it was so good and it was perfect for the morning and he had the chef make it specially for us. So the staff was so nice and attentive. The buffet was really yummy. They had a delicious omelet bar. I asked for just cheese and they filled it so perfectly so that the cheese was spread around and it made its way into every bite. The omelet itself was also cooked to perfection. They had lots of other options for the filling of the omelet, you will have plenty of choices! They also had some great yogurt and toppings for that too. They had pancakes and syrup. They did have some candy to top your pancakes with :) There was also some fresh cut fruit and breakfast meats. They also had a separate section for pastries, breads, muffins, breakfast potatoes, and other things like that. This really was a great restaurant and I will continue to eat here every time I'm in San Diego.

When I booked my room at the Manchester Grand Hyatt I selected the option with the breakfast buffet for two included. There are three tiers of buffet: Cereal @12; Cold Buffet @ 17.50, and Grand @ 24 (Menu at www.manchestergrandhyattsandiego.com/resourcefiles/pdf/BreakfastBuffetPosterApril2010.pdf). The food quality is very good, with a waffle bar, made to order omelets, hot and cold cereal, hot bar, pastries, fresh fruit, breads, lox, and so on. Lots of great choices, and of good quality. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating.

When I arrived here the hostess announced that the only choice is to take the pricey buffet, that no a la carte was available. However when I sat down, I saw a la carte options on the menu. And, in fact, my very nice waiter did indeed bring me scrambled eggs, bacon and an English muffin, for a price lower than the buffet.

Service was excellent and the buffet choices and food quality, presentation were all outstanding! You don't go away hungry!

I took the full breakfast and the omelette to order was worth the money. Beside a number of sausages and other classical cuts, they have waffles (I cannot eat them but I mention that for completeness) and have a variety of fruits (including a compote of rapsberries, blueberries and strawberries that was very good on a bowl of greek yogurth). They also have gluten free bread. Also they made a freshly squeezed watermellon juice that was excellent. The waiter will bring coffee and tea at your table. It basically replaced my lunch.

Standard breakfast buffet fare done right. Reasonably priced for what you get. Could have had more choices, but the choices they had were great.

The lobster sandwich/bun-out of this world. The outside tables facing the ocean - completely amazin.

If you are staying at the Grand Hyatt, this is your in-house breakfast restaurant. The rooms were pretty noisy with a fast turn over of guests. Food service areas in the buffet were clean but this is not the quality or breadth of offerings you would find in a dedicated restaurant. Want a fast breakfast...this fits the bill (oh yes--not cheap!)

Great spot for breakfast, with a huge buffet selection. Fresh everything. Come hungry.

too many options on the buffet to mention. All good and nicely done.

At conference needed something quick was good but expensive. Thought try as had grits and blintzes just ok and potatoes not very crispy. Poached eggs ok but they broke in water most seemed to enjoy the omelette station and large array of fruit. Not have a two eggs with toast or bagel potatoes or grits as each item individually is $4 including the coffee for a la carte and each egg is $4 FYI. Figured if going to spend close to 20 by time all said n done would try Buffett

The breakfast buffet is the best, with a wide variety of goodies to chose from, especially the custom omelettes where you pick what you want in it, and the coffee is superb!

We tried to find here almost 30 min, it was not written its hotel lobby breakfast restaurant, its most usual hotel breakfast open buffet restaurant, nothing special

I nice place to have breakfast. Lots of choices. The omelette station was awesome. What you want they have plus daily specials. The bacon was crispy. My only complaint was the fruit was ripe.

If you like to eat till you drop, this is your place. A first rate brunch with many choices to fill your face. All types of breakfast foods such as eggs, pancakes, pastries, waffles, smoked salmon. Good service but be prepared to wait as the crowds are immense. Lots of children milling about which could present some problems as parents tend not to understand that their children should not be given total run over an eating establishment. I can tolerate this to a certain degree but parents need to take control of this type of situation and many do not.

We had Easter Brunch Buffet at the Seaview. Service was average, we felt like we had to wait for drinks to be refilled and the check at the end of our meal. atmosphere was wonderful. The food selection was good, king crab legs, oysters, JUMBO peeled shrimp. A small selection of sushi, omelet and crepe stations, dessert bar - every dessert we sampled was delish! There was prime rib & ham carving and salad/bread/cheese& meat station. Bottomless mimosas. It was more pricey than normal brunch due to holiday, but we felt we got our money worth!

The breakfast buffet is wonderful. I had lunch here as well. The food is nice, but we had to wait too long (more than 1 hour) before we were served for lunch.

This place has one of the most expansive breakfast buffets you will ever want to see, with a wide array of every breakfast item from fruits to cereals, to eggs anyway you want the (including special Omelets of the Day). They offer bagels and lox, my wife (being from the south) was particularly impressed with the bee's honeycomb. Pancakes, waffles, assorted breads and the list goes on and on. We made the mistake of eating at the 'upscale' restaurant across the street (Malibu Farms) and it actually costs more to eat there than what it did here. The service was great, and there is no rush to get up and leave. Stay and eat as much as you like in a very relaxed atmosphere. By the time we left here, neither my wife nor I were hungry the rest of the day (though we did eat a late dinner at approximately eight that night).

We ate here several times during our stay - we had omelets made to order with the freshest fruit that just melted in your mouth!

We are regulars at this restaurant. The food is consistently fresh and deliciously prepared. The staff is friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and life. We always leave happy! There is a shaded patio with a view of the water that is dog friendly. I hesitate to mention names because I may forget someone wonderful, but Emma, Serawitt, Jorge, Geraldine, Nancy, Sonia, Alejandro and Leslie are always delightful and so pleasant to interact with. We look forward to Tony preparing our omelettes. (We miss Mike and Matteo who have moved.) It’s refreshing to find a breakfast establishment that is great 100% of the time. Thank you to Seaview staff and management!

The food is very good. If you only want cereals, there are different varieties.. Lots of fruit, cheese, the obligatory scrambled eggs, bacon (very crisp) baked potatoes, salmon, sausages, you name it , they have it. Except: a boiled egg. I asked and it would take 20 minutes..... But, there are some guys fixing a nice omelet for you. Slightly irritating is the fact that you sometimes have to wait upto 15 minutes to be seated. Not necessary, because the restaurant is never full..

I ate breakfast here one morning. It was your typical hotel breakfast buffet.. Limited options but very good quality.. I opted out of the buffet ( 27.00) and just went with the lobster and egg white omelette .. It was very good and only $10.00.

I've been here twice for breakfast, and I loved it. The large room is very peaceful. The sevice is friendly yet classy, and the food is delicious. There's a big variety of items on the buffet and you get your $28 worth. It's a nice, relaxing start to your day.

We ate the breakfast buffet three times. Better than your average breakfast buffet. More healthy choices. Great presentations. Freshly made omlets and fresh squeezed juices (honeydew and melon). Decorated nice for halloween and fall. The chair height to table height was a little odd. The food was good. Little pricey 27.00. Fresh fruit and breads. Service was fair.

but, not really special at all. Just your typical brunch with omelets and waffles. Quality was good, but price was really high. Come hungry to get your money's worth!

I went to Lael's every morning for breakfast while staying at Hyatt (Breakfast was included in my room rate). The selection of food is excellent, high quality of the produce

Won't recommend. The coffee terrible. For 1 espresso and 1 cappuccino $9 + tax + tip! The espresso was burnt. Omelette wasn't perfect. It is a complete buffet. I had a Yelp discount coupon and I used it with no problem. The name of the restaurant is Seaview but you really don't have a seaview!

We had the full buffet. The meat was tasteless, the eggs congealed, the "special" French Toast had been in warmer so longer it had developed a concrete edge. The selection and variety of breads was good.

I had a room rate that included the buffet breakfast, which was excellent. Relative to other high-end hotels, this was a good value. Extensive hot and cold items, omelets cooked to order, a variety of juices and fruits.

Very expensive breakfast buffet, with nothing special. I ordered off the menu, paid 1/2 of the buffet price, and had a very good omelet, potatoes, toast, and juice.

This is everything you want a breakfast buffet to be, and more! I can't even list all the choices you have here. Of course they have the omelet bar which is always my fave. Coffee is good and fresh squeezed OJ is great. Only drawback is the price - for myself only it was about $26 bucks or so.

Sea View's buffet is very good. A little on the expensive side but still very good. They switch product offerings for the "more then one day" guest which was good. They DO NOT offer a la carte which I would have preferred the first day because I wasn't that hungry and didn't want to pay $27 for the full buffet.

The Grand buffet keeps you full for most of the day. Help yourself to as much as can eat. Great variety of foods catering for all diets: from the health conscious options to the not more gut-busting variety!

I enjoyed an omelet from the omelet station and others in our group had the full breakfast buffet. The wait staff was very attentive. Good place for a good breakfast.

The breakfast buffet was plentiful and the food was good. It is on par with any good breakfast buffet at a luxury hotel, in my opinion. The servers were friendly and flexible, letting us pick the tables we wanted. However, it was a lite crowded, since there was a bowl game and one of the teams stayed at the Hyatt and it was raining on and off the whole time we were there so outdoor seating was unavailable. We did find out through observation that they had to go boxes that people can have if they didn't want to eat inside. This option was not listed anywhere, so make sure you ask the greeter if this is an option you prefer. The big downside was the bill- management tacked on an extra 5% to offset a rise in minimum wage. In my opinion, they are lucky to have these employees and it's shameful they're so petty about an extra 80 cents they've added to my bill. Pay your people what their worth! They're worth it!

All pastries are tasty. For hot items what especially surprised me was the steak & egg slider -- the fried egg inside was perfectly cooked (medium-well). Omlette and waffels are freshly made too. Top-tier breakfast in the States for the price level.

The view is nothing to write about which is why it might be so expensive. It is not open the whole day and when we went there we found you had to have the buffet or eat large portions of food, there was no coffee and a pastry or coffee and a bowl of oatmeal..

I was personally greeted by the friendly manager, James Clark . The buffet lunch was one of the best I have ever had. Fresh juice, made to order omelets, waffles, French toast, cereal bar and so much more. I appreciated that my server left a pot of coffee on my table. I ordered a great cappuccino to go. .

I was treated to breakfast so can't complain about the price tag ($25), and enjoyed the spread. The omelet station actually had 3 chefs; usually there are long lines for these sort of stations, so 3 chefs was a delight. They'll even make you egg white omelets! Fresh fruit, pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon...all the usual suspects are there. The only two things I don't like about Lael's Restaurant are a) the coffe is awful; it not only can dance a jig but it does it with boots on. Both days I was there! Maybe it was last week's coffee....b) the floors are hard surface so every time someone drops a dish (which happened both days), you'll jump out of your chair from the shock of the shatter. Otherwise, friendly service and lots of good food.

While there are a lot of options, I don’t think it’s worth $28 for a breakfast buffet. If you do eat a lot then this maybe a great option for you. If like me, you’d like an option or 2 the individual pricing is very expensive. Waffle was extremely well done.

Outside seating was lovely and we had an excellent server, Sammy. He started our day off with laughs and impeccable service. They had a great variety of food options, including made to order omelettes. It was very clean and the food was very fresh. We paid $26 per adult which is to be expected at a Hyatt buffet. It was also my boyfriends birthday and Sammy brought out a plate of treats and sang happy birthday. What else could you ask for? Thank you, Sammy!!

Located inside the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Really dull decor but the only hot breakfast food that’s close. Omelette station is available. This was nothing special just your run of the mill overpriced breakfast buffet.

As a rule, I am not much of a buffet person. They tend to be overpriced for the amount of food I know I am going consume. That being said, rules are meant to be broken and I ate twice at Lael's during my stay at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Lovely restaurant, fading a little (carpets, upholstery), but still beautiful. Service was outstanding. Selections fresh with daily specials (a berry bread pudding was Paris worthy). Fine selection of teas. All in all, great experience.

First class service and selections. Whether you choose the EXTENSIVE buffet, or select from the menu the food and beverages are excellent.

No trip to the Manchester Grand Hyatt would be complete without the buffet breakfast at Lael's. We eat breakfast at Lael's even when stay at the nearby Marriott or Hilton. My wife and I travel frequently to San Diego and now judge other hotel's buffets by our experiences at Lael's. Other reviewers are correct that the price is steep, but the food is great. They have hand-made salsas at the omlette bar, and the omlette cooks are on the ball and keep the queue very short. Tina, our regular server, also provides a welcome start to each day. About my only complaint is that they don't have a carving station--even on the weekends. That is the only part of the experience that I would change. Lastly, the queue for breakfasts on the weekends can be long. You can solve that problem by booking ahead on opentable.com!

Well-stocked buffet. Terrific omelet station. Even when the hotel is crowded, the line design works -- efficient and fast. Truly good service. Serawit, you are a joy to your customers! I hope the Hyatt knows what an asset you are!

Breakfast buffet is so big you don't know where to start from. Fresh food. Great omelette and fresh fruit. Great start to the day.

Only ate breakfast here the first morning. I'm not going to pay $20 per day for a breakfast that doesn't even include eggs. My husband and I went to Ralph's in the Gaslamp Quarter and bought breakfast items to last us four days and paid $22 dollars total, instead of forking over $40 each day for both of us. I've never felt so ripped off as I felt at Lael's. The Continental breakfast is the same as one can get at a Hampton Inn except for the smoked salmon. Definitely not worth the price.

The food selection is good. I prefer the decor when the restaurant was "Lael's" - the renovation is sterile and corporate, but the new ceiling is nice. Excellent service.

Had a few drinks at the bar and also had 1 meal in the restaurant.Found the staff a bit unfriendly food was okay but felt rushed as if they could not get rid off us quick enough.Staff to busy talking to each other might have picked a bad night.

Wonderful breakfast buffet selection, beautiful room, tables set apart, very comfortable chairs, helpful staff, huge selection of cereals, fruits, breads, muffins, bagels, eggs and omlettes various styles,

We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet here. Servers brought mimosas, coffee and water and we perused the buffet. Lots of options, even for a vegan. I was told that the omelet bar had tofu but I didn't want to wait in the line to find out. I feasted on their breakfast potatoes and fruit. I guess there isn't enough call for vegan options but I would recommend adding a tofu scramble...which would be nice for people who have egg sensitivities/allergies. We opted to dine on the patio, where it was MUCH quieter. It was a little pricey but nice.

These people called me son fat and ugly I hope that these people will learn a lesson no that I am writing this review 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈

Open, airy, a good display of foods. Friendly service, particularly Anastasia.Used for early morning meetings. Would recommend

The buffet breakfast at Lael's was wonderful, with a fantastic variety of breads, fruits, cereals, and hot foods. The omelet chefs were friendly while catering to multiple picky orderers at once. Exceptional service from the wait staff; they were very quick with coffee (very much appreciated early in the morning!), juice and water also offered and refilled quickly.

im not a breakfast person but the food and service were both very good and the atmosphere was calming.

The price is kind of expensive but you get a lot of choices for your money. The made to order omelets are a nice touch to the buffet.

Excellent buffet choices and service. Ate there 3 times and the selection was great, had great service each time.

On the last day of our trip we wanted to have an amazing breakfast so we decided to visit the Grand Hyatt where we were told: Expect nothing but the best at Grand Hyatt hotels. The most savory dining options." Ok I am bit heavy on the drama today! Overall great buffet option with a lot to offer. Omelette station, all you can drink mimosas, gluten free bread and all the works you would expect. All elegantly presented. The setting is so so, feels like a ballroom or meeting space which was repurposed, the decor very clean yet sterile. Service was lacking, 8 people deep line to be seated, they try to get your name so they can address you appropriately. This is nice but the basics should be covered first. Also a line at the omelet station, the condiments for waffles and French toast, the toaster etc... Smartly relaying out some buffet components would do the trick, even just spacing out some serving bowls would make a difference. Lines are annoying and definitely not my idea of luxury, at least no more than 3 people deep. Servers were swamped, not their fault but still, some basic requests like coffee and water too a long time and some others were totally ignored. As in the server said right away and kept doing 10 other things. So no warmth or attentiveness. I am picky but again, this is no Waffle House and when you pay for the best, you should expect no less. If could score 3.5 I would. Then again maybe I am spoiled!

The food was good with lots to choose from. Service was excellent. I do think this price was a little on the high side compared to other buffets. We only ate there once during our weekend stay.

You can have the breakfast buffet at a decent price at Lael's. Their food is great and the omelet station is especially awesome. They use good quality cage free eggs, so it doesn't have the poultry smell or taste.

Loved the variety of foods and specials of the day. Excellent omelets especially the chef's choice. Much better that when I pick out the ingredients which never seem to blend. Great fruit selection and pastries. Welcoming to canine companions. Also able to make selections from buffet and pay for only those items picked ala carte. This is for light eaters. At many buffets we eat too much that really doesn't go together. But here the variety and display is perfect and somehow one does not eat too much. Fabulous fresh squeezed orange juice and exceptional coffee.

We recently stayed at the Grand Hyatt on a package that included the breakfast buffet. The buffet was impressive with the quantity and quality of food. We enjoyed the custom cooked omelettes as well as the other hot and cold foods and fruit. The staff served us orange juice and returned to see if we wanted more. They served our first cup of coffee, left us a thermos of hot coffee and returned to pour more in our cups. Great food and great service!

This is such an amazing restaurant and it is very conveniently located in the downtown area, near a lot of attractions. The buffet has a lot of options and the omelet and waffle stations are awesome. The food is delicious and the service is equally as great. Chef Lily is amazing. There is no other way to put it. She was so good in taking care of my mom's allergy. She made my mom feel safe and comfortable and best of all she made her great food. She took such good care of us each morning we came and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Every restaurant should have someone like Lily in the kitchen and she should be recognized for all her hard work, it goes a long way. Thanks Lily, we love you, and thanks to Seaview for many great mornings!

The breakfast buffet was delicious with lots of variety. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Can't say enough about the "Bloody Mary's" and "Mimosas".

This is one of the best breakfast buffets I have ever eaten at. Everything was fresh and tasty. The waffles and chocolate croissants were especially good! In case management doesn't know, they have a superstar amongst them. His name starts with an "S" (I wish I could remember but I can't since I couldn't pronounce it) he is from Ethiopia or Somalia? Not only was he enthusiastic about the breakfast buffet that was offered, you could tell he took pride in his work and providing amazing service. We had a special request and he went above and beyond to accommodate !!!

Breakfast was expensive! But, the quality and service is very good.

We stayed at the hotel so the buffet breakfast here was easy and convenient for us. There’s a great selection in both the continental buffet and the full hot buffet. I personally loved the waffles and omelette station.

We enjoyed the fresh and delicious food and were impressed with the service. Much better than a typical buffet. Beautiful decor as well.

The choice of food was only second to the Mandalay Bay Hotel Las Vegas. On the superior side it was as comfortable as the Mandalay but was much quieter (midweek) and the service was good. Fiona, our server the first morning was excellent. The salsa was far superior to what you can buy out of a jar and the chef kindly gave me the recipe. It is on my full hotel review. I have made it and it is very similar to the "real McCoy".

I have done Breakfast Buffets all over the the World, and by far this one was the most well taken care of, with the best flavor and service that I have done in a long time. Try the Fresh Berry Mixture, with a dollop of Whipped Cream- they make it themselves. The whipped butter is white and full of flavor- reason...they make it themselves. Every Morning, they change the ingredients suggested for their "made to order omelet" as well as other items on their buffet. VERY GOOD!!!

This breakfast buffet has everything you could possibly want - hot eggs, custom made omelets, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, etc. plus tons of fruit, cereals, pastries, fresh squeezed juices. A bit pricey at $27 for the grand buffet or less for the cold buffet. Luckily it was included with our room at the Hyatt. The servers are fabulous and always eager to please.

I'm a buffet freak and this place is it. If your looking for something has a grand scale of selections, I would go to Lael's. Their customer service was da bomb. I love how the chefs make the omlettes in front of you and you get to choose what you want in your omlette. Fresh fruit and their mimosas were just off the hook. So amazing.

This restaurant is part of the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Tasty food and not too expensive. I like the great omelets.

Not a lot of options inside the hotel. Nice buffet selection, has all the good stuff from fruit, omelets made to order, pastry etc. Dining room is large and servers were good with beverages. Overeating at it's finest for breakfast. With coffee and tip the bill was $70 for 2! Yes it was good, but ridiculous for breakfast. My suggestion is to make the effort and go outside the hotel and eat for a semi reasonable cost.

First of all, Its on Hyatt property, why would you expect it to be inexpensive? Its breakfast so for the most part it can all be purchased or made at home for relatively low expense. But chances are you wont have this many options at your table. Spoil yourself it's money better spent here than at one of the theme parks in the areas concession stands. Our waitress was great and didn't bat an eye when we made a special request. "Carafe of (?) fresh juice ? No problem." Sure we could have gotten a glass ourselves but we wanted a full carafe at our table and we got it. Overall its a good breakfast buffet just an elevator ride and short walk from your room.

The breakfast buffet is delicious with on the spot omelets and waffles. Our breakfast was part of a tour and included. That being said, breakfast was $23. Had it not been included in the cost of my tour, I don't think I would have eaten there as I don't eat $23 worth of food.

Very, very busy but they give you a buzzer. Best to reserve a spot the night before. Well worth it though great choice of buffet style breakfast. Lots of fresh fruit being replenished often and much much more.

My hotel package included the grand breakfast buffet for the two days I was there. I was pleasantly surprised at the beautifully laid out fruit and pastries. Also included were smoked salmon, salumi and prosciutto. Around the corner were chafing dishes with bacon, breakfast potatoes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and pancakes. We tried a couple of their specials like the chorizo benedict. The chorizo was full of flavor and wasn't greasy. This morning we took a taste of the short rib and grits and were rewarded both creamy grits and fork-tender short ribs with a delicious sauce. A chef is there to prepare items like waffles and omelettes made-to-order. She accommodated my wife by preparing a bacon waffle. It was served with soft butter and real maple syrup and was quite fluffy. The day before she made a delicious omelet filled with spinach, jack cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and onions. Our server, Serawit, treated us like royalty. He enticed us with the peach mimosa (which was beautifully poured for maximum presentation). He made sure that we were well attended to and even offered us special items like his famous hot chocolate. Needless to say, it was decadent and topped with delicious whipped cream. If you see him, make sure you ask for it! Even if you don't stay at this hotel, I highly recommend you try this breakfast buffet. I've seen other places charge far more for less variety and reduced customer service.

We had breakfast included in our 2 night hotel stay at the Manchester Hyatt downtown. My husband and I both had omelets made to order and they were good. The fruit was high quality and my husband really enjoyed the freshly made french toast. The service was good. If you have the breakfast included in your room rate, you will not be disappointed. If you are paying, you might find better options elsewhere.

Pretty great breakfast buffet with a waffle and omelet bar along with a selection of fruits, breads, and hot food. Food looked and tasted fresh. Orange juice and coffee were brought to the table and the staff was on top of keeping both filled.

Resteraunt was nice food was nice and staff were execptional with great service . It’s a little expensive but that’s expected

Pretty good selection, but $25 is a lot for what they have. They have an ok selection of breakfast items, a waffle bar and an omlet bar, but you have to get a buffett selection and for one plate of breakfast food $25 is a lot.

Good variety of breakfast items. nice options for omelet of the day (changes daily) . not too expensive but not sure why there is a separate charge for the coffee.

Great fresh fruit selection. Other items typical buffet fare. Watchful, courteous service, particularly from Tina.

35 bucks plus tax for your typical continental breakfast. The only extra thing they had was an omelet station. Service was great, but your check will make you forget about that.

What an amazing restaurant. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Treat you like family. Variety of dishes to choose from. Duck, fish, beef etc

Really good, friendly service. Food a tiny notch below it, but still very good.

Great choice of food items. A bit pricey though. And items were not hot enough. The restaurant ambiance is very nice and service was very good.

We took the big breakfast buffet (around 30$). And it is totally worth it. It is so much different kind of foods (fruits, salty snacks, sweet treats, fresh waffles, you can make your own omelette). It was really great. The service was also super friendly and helpful. One of the best breakfast buffets I ever had

Food was great, the omelet was cooked to perfection, and loved that they had cage free eggs. They did have small pancakes but I really wanted the waffles that were advertised in the description in the hotel literature.

Started my conference day with the buffet. Selection is so huge that only continental breakfast will keep you hunger away for a long time. Large breakfast also includes omelette and waffle station but didn't try those this time. Everything was really fresh and good - especially homemade granola and fruits. There was also selection of nuts for tuning your granola or yoghurt, extra points for that. Also the pastries were delicious. The personnel were helpful and lovely.

The staff is warm and friendly. The food is hot and tasty. There were no waits or lulls in the service.

We ate breakfast there every morning since we were staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Although it was a little pricey for breakfast, we never needed to eat lunch so it balanced out.

We had breakfast included in our hotel stay, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten here (the cost is $63 per couple). This breakfast buffet has everything you'd need for a full breakfast including an omelette station, fresh waffles, a juice bar, and many hot/cold offerings. We had breakfast 6 mornings here and it was always busy. Unfortunately we were told that you couldn't book a reservation, so we always had about a 10-15 min. wait for a table.

I run several events at the Hyatt so I eat here on a somewhat regular basis. It is a tad pricey for a buffet but the food is fairly good for a buffet. The scrambled eggs on the buffet are actually hot and cooked properly as is the bacon. The pastries can be dry.

I had both the full and continental breakfasts. The variety is wonderful, with several types of egg dishes, sausage, bacon, and potatoes, as well as stations for waffles and omelets. Fruits and breads abound. Well worth the price.

Overall A plus. Fresh everything with a wonderful staff bottom to top. Little details taken care of. Friendly staff.

We opted for breakfast included price when booking so the price didn't " hurt" so much Great options.. Staff was wonderful - went out of their way to accommodate food allergies for neighbors

we had this included daily - loved the waffles - great oatmeal, custom omelettes, so many items to choose from - yum.

I had the buffet twice. In both cases, the food was very good. The first day, service was basically not existent. Waited for 20 minutes (I know because they print the time of arrival on a paper slip that the waiter is supposed to take). After that time, I just went to the hostess and told her we would take the buffet. Second day, just the opposite! A very friendly and attentive waitress. Overall, averaged over these two experiences, I can only give an average ranking which is really too bad.

We normally go to Humphrey's for brunch, but we read on Open Table that this was also a great buffet. Not true, this was a typical hotel breakfast buffet for $30 without champagne. The only upside was that our parking at the Hyatt was validated for 3 hours, so we were able to spend the remainder of the morning walking through Seaport Village.

A bit pricey but we had breakfast included in the room rate. Great choice of hot and cold food and a brilliant waffle section. Very friendly staff and efficient service.

this place is fantastic... loved the made to order omelet and the fruit, nuts, yogurt, etc the food is good. please don't waste. I cleaned my plate every visit. The staff is very friendly and helpful, I especially enjoyed my interaction with Sammy. He is such a service oriented person, and he loves what he does.

This breakfast buffet had a vast selection of items. It included not only your typical breakfast buffet fare but also had short ribs with grits. The omelette station includes a different daily special as well.

When I booked my reservation on through the Hyatt Gold Passport option I selected the AAA breakfast option that includes breakfast with the rate of the hotel. When I checked into my room they informed me that Lael's was the name of the restaurant that breakfast for two would be offered from. Breakfast was very good the omelets could've been better.. Waffle's were amazing! They have all of the fattening stuff from whip cream strawberries chocolate syrup etc that you can create your own like Belgian waffles! Pretty pricey breakfast I’m actually glad that I was able to use my AAA discount otherwise my breakfast including the mimosa's would have been more than $80!

Great selection of food everyday. Buffet is priced around $33ish but is waived for World of Hyatt Globalist like us. I am not here to give a review of the food but more of the crew at the breakfast buffet. The staff here at Seaview restaurant were very professional, kind, friendly, and accomodating. Special mention to Sammy who is exemplary. I wanted him to know that his commitment to his job and putting his best self everyday to work never goes unnoticed. At first I thought he was just being very friendly to us because we are globalists but as we dined there every day, I realized he is truly such a sincere person and treats everyone the way he treats us. Hyatt needs to clone more Sammys. He is that good! I can tell that he truly loves his job. My family and I appreciate him a lot. I would also like to mention Santee at the Omelette area who is very nice. She has a happy and friendly personality as well. My 3-year old son loves her so much and she makes very good omelette for him. Nancy at the front greets us every morning and the female manager makes sure everything is going well in the restaurant. Overall, the rest of the staff are just amazing. They knew our preferences as to where we wanted to be seated with my family everyday, what drink my son wants every morning, etc. I just love the Seaview buffet and look forward to be there every morning during our stay. Thank you so much for such great customer service.

The map of the hotel shows it in a different location but there was a sign directing you to where it currently is. The tables, or at least some of them are at an odd height. I am 6'5" and felt like I was a kid at the adults table.

I don't know, maybe I'm easily pleased. But I'd traveled around the world sometimes stopping in the fanciest hotels, and this buffet is as good as they come.

The title sums it up ... buffet of breads, fruits, scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, oatmeal station, and omelette station.

the breakfast buffet had such a wide variety.....something for everyone!....fresh fruit, omelets made to order, fresh pastries and fruit breads. we ate there each (4) morning and were never disappointed.

The Breakfast Buffet is pretty typical of a good hotel buffet. They do have an omelets station with daily specials. Otherwise, the fare is pretty typical with scrambled eggs, meets, fruit, cereals etc. The wait staff is attentive and professional. There is no breakfast menu. At $23, it is a bit high.

$27 for a breakfast buffet is a bit steep. The custom prepared eggs are good but the rest is all just laid out there. It's mostly pastries. The coffee and orange juice is free flowing. We went as a matter of expediency and not value. It cost about $80 for 3 of us to eat. That's crazy!

Nothing stellar but good enough when staying in the hotel. Typically pricey breakfast assortments. better choices outside

Fantastic service and great food. Very nice atmosphere and an easy buffet to navigate.

Excellent, nothing too much trouble for the staff and the food was good quality and large portions. A good variety well presented.

Food was great & all seemed very fresh but too pricey! $35. It was rainy due to tropical storm Hilary so opted to eat at the hotel, but charged with tax, tip for 2 at $85 is just too much especially for a breakfast!

The breakfast buffet offers a great variety of hot and cold foods. The waffles were very light and delicious. The omelet bar had plenty of fillings to choose from. It's $26 per person for the all you can eat buffet. The price is typical of a chain hotel and the food is good, but it's still pricey for breakfast.

$25 per person for a breakfast buffet that wasn't outstanding. The waffles were sitting under a heat lamp,which was unappetizing; however the omelets we being cooked to order. Lots of breads and fruits, overcooked bacon and undercooked scrambled eggs. Spent over $60 (tax and grat included) on a breakfast that should have cost $12 a person. Would not go back.

The best thing about eating here was our wait staff. We were assigned two people to our table of six. The main lady was named Anastasia and she was delightful and extremely helpful. When we went up to the buffet, she covered our cups of coffee and hot tea with cocktail napkins so they would stay warm. The buffet items were fresh and tasty, and none of us left there hungry! Great variety and the layout was good, too. However, it was very spendy. For two of us to have the full buffet and hot tea, our bill came to more than $60... gulp! Luckily, we ate enough that we didn't need lunch that day!

This restaurant is located inside the Grand Hyatt. I have to state this had to be the best breakfast buffet that I've ever experienced. So many options: Cereals, fresh fruit, bagels and breads, yogurts, hot foods: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and other hot food items. On top of all of that they had a chef that would make any omelet that you wanted! They also had avocado toast! They are a little pricy, but it was definitely worth it. Staff was friendly, they also had outside seating if you wanted to dine outside. Plenty of room in this restaurant.

Large restaurant serving large hotel property. Nice breakfast buffet with expected items. Omelet station that seemed to be understaffed. Excellent wait staff with even better coffee. Offer to provide one to go was nice touch. All in all, this restaurant is what you would expect at a large convention hotel like the Hyatt.

We stayed in the hotel for about 10 days, had buffet in here about 5 times. The food is okay, just the common breakfast buffet. It does not worth the money if you do not combine it with your room.

The staff really made me feel special. I am a travel professional and I was born in Las Vegas. I worked in hospitality all my life , but I don't ask for special attention. I know how hard it is to serve. Your staff are #1 and I will be back just to enjoy what a real hotel should be. Your food was wonderful. Your choices are wonderful. Your staff is wonderful.

I was staying at the Hyatt for a conference, and the buffet (not included) was the only full breakfast option in the hotel. They have made-to-order omelettes and a small variety of hot items, plus cold items and pastries. Most of the hot items were good, but the bacon was very overcooked each of the 4 days I ate there. The chicken sausage was good. Cold items were the same every day. An option was to get cold only (Continental) for $5 less than the full buffet. I thought the price was a bit high for the small variety, but most of the food was good. The servers were very attentive with juice and coffee.

I had breakfast here for 1 week when I stayed in Grand Hyatt - they serve fantastic food with a live counter. However most options are unchanged on a daily basis and so started to bore for me as I had it for 1 week but it is better most other places I have been to in US.

It's my first time to be here in San Diego And I had great breakfast at see View restaurant The prise acceptable 23 $ It's great place to have a date of having a great time with friends and family

Per the title serves a great selection, friendly staff offering a great start to the day. Maybe a little pricey at $27 but quality food non the less.

The breakfast buffet was beyond awesome! I am a breakfast lover, and this was fantastic. They offered everything you could imagine for breakfast. A little pricey, but the food was great and the selection was even better.

Way way WAY too expensive for a breakfast buffet! You can pay less for dinner buffet with crab and lobster in most big cities. Sanitation was horrible. The guy cleaning the table with his bacteria ridden rag was also setting tables with his fingers inside the glasses. Yuck!!! Pandemics start this way. I didn't see any sea view in the Seaview restaurant. The ambiance isn't good at all, like a school cafeteria. There was a very cold sea breeze coming in thru the open door for the Eskimos that wanted to eat outside, and the waitress argued with me about closing it! And this place is the furthest hike from anywhere on the property that you could make.

Lots to choose from. Eggs, omelets made to order with your choice of fresh ingredients. Although I chose the full buffet, a continental buffet or ordering from a menu was available. Staff was friendly and efficient.

We were very pleased with the buffet. It wasn't the largest of selection but a very good selection and the food was premium. The wife and I had the cook to order food, fruit and baked goods. The OJ was extremely fresh and we believed squeezed. We would definitely go again.

Breakfast only -buffet only. Food was good, service excellent. Your choice is continental or full buffet. $21.95 or $26.95. Chef prepared omelets and other items, well maintained buffet,

The buffet looks huge but it is mostly filled with mediocre offerings. We opted for the continental breakfast buffet for $21 each. the hot buffet with eggs and bacon cost more. there is some fresh fruit but there is also canned fruit. Canned fruit at a pricey buffet? also a lot of high sugar fruit loop type cereals, very ordinary bagels, and pastries of low distinction. Not recommended.

I ate here for breakfast every day for a week. The buffet was always well-stocked, the made to order omelettes were really good and the staff were always pleasant.

Okay, I don't know what it was but their syrup was amazing, so I asked what brand it is...Log Cabin...says Sammy my waiter who I loved, so what made their Log Cabin taste so much better than the Log Cabin I buy at home??? I have no idea, but it was warm, thick and just to die for over their waffles with butter. Yum. The service here is outstanding and always with a smile and a story. I would go back here for breakfast even if I was not staying at the Hyatt.

We ate brunch here while staying at the hotel. It's all buffet with many choices but the food is just okay. There is a cook that will prepare an omelette with the ingredients of your choice, or cook eggs to order, whichever you prefer. I believe the cost was $23 per person which is pricey to me. There's no way I would ever eat $23 worth of food!

Recently renovated and it looks great. There is now an outdoor eating area with a view of the harbor. The buffet food was above average and price was reasonable. Try the yummy waffles with fruit on top and warm syrup. Omelet station with lobster (the day we were there).

One of the best breakfast buffets we've had. A variety of choices, especially some great "healthy" choices. The made to order omelets were quick and tasty. The fresh sliced tomatoes and daily cheeses were gorgeous. There's plenty for anyone's taste, and unlike many buffets, very high quality ingredients!

Loving the breakfasts buffet.....great choices excellent service. They even let you take foot to go....go figure...lol

There were plenty of choices at this breakfast buffet. They make omelets to order. They juice fresh fruit. Service was great. The only problem i had was paying $25 for breakfast per person.

Be careful going to the Seaview restaurant. We went for breakfast. I ended up getting charged more on my credit card statement than what was on the receipt. Someone added tip that I did not authorize. I had left a cash tip on the table that now I regret leaving. The people who work there are crooks.

I usually don't like buffets, but this one is an exception. Healthy options, made to order omelets, California cuisine. Would highly recommend if staying at the hotel

it is the grand Hyatt restaurant for breakfast with a big variety for every taste and a mix of hot and cold dishes to choose from though on the expensive side but you can choose the cheaper menu if you like

Attended a convention at the Hyatt so was able to have the breakfast buffet on 3 mornings. Very good Norwegian smoked salmon, bagels, yogurt and fruit. Service staff were so friendly and helpful, as well as the hostess.

This class act group of restaurant and hotel management with full security patrol had this happen , no one ever called paramedics as this walking zombie patient who needed to be committed to a psychiatric hospital stood half naked (half as in he was half clothed with a sweater well above the waist line..) . I like my cheesecake with a bit of salty carmel.
