Top of the Brunch, too

The relocated Top of the Park, which helpfully offered a shuttle to its transplanted Little Italy location, is a scaled-down remnant of its former self, but it's still just as fun. The view is only 4 floors up, not 7, and it's not a rooftop but a balcony/patio, and the view is not as far reaching, and there's no gay piano bar/restaurant on the ground floor. And yet, this charming brunch and tea dance space is upscale without too much pretension, preserving another endearing element of the happy hour's history at Park Manor Suites. It also offers a gay option west of I-5 for the first time since Moby Dick's closed. Thank goodness some traditions don't die; they just move to Little Italy.

Great views of Downtown San Diego and Harbor views

Great location, in the heart of Little Italy, near Hillcrest, Downtown, and San Diego Port. Views are awesome, great restaurant on the 4th floor the Glass Door Restaurant with inside outside seating.
