DREAMBOAT Diner • $$
4608 Park Blvd, San Diego

“Dreamboat is a very nice retro dinner blended with a trendy clean approach. They serve breakfast from 7 am to 11 am, and lunch from 11 am to 3 pm.

For breakfast, I had the breakfast sandwich which came with a savory and delicious breakfast sausage, cheddar cheese, egg omelette, a house Hollandaise sauce on a lightly toasted brioche bun for $12.95.

The breakfast sandwich was very flavorful, especially the sausage patty and the sauce. The sauce was more cheesy than a traditional Hollandaise, but it worked very well here. However, the sandwich was one dimensional with regards to its texture. It was soft all the way through, not that there's anything wrong with that. But for my taste, it could have used a little more texture. Nevertheless, it was a very good breakfast sandwich.

The diner is mostly counter seating with the exception of a few standing tables along the wall. The service was very good. The young lady at the counter was very nice. The breakfast menu is limited at this time, offering the sandwich, the potato latke cakes, baked goods and pastries, and a melee of coffee beverages. I like there small menu concept.“
