    This was our first visit to The Vibe and came recommended by by @that_foodie_nurse_melski on Instagram. We are from WA and were looking for a fun, relaxed atmosphere to have Easter brunch with our son that attends SDSU. The Vibe did not disappoint! So glad we made reservations prior as the walk up line was long. Great food with large portions and good variety! We will be back!
