    1/2 Albacore Tuna Sandwich with a side of potato leak soup
    Aryo S.

    Cafe Alexander is a great little spot for breakfast and lunch for dine in and take out. Colleagues and I have been coming in pretty consistently and all have been happy. We appreciate the friendliness, consistency and the value. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside features several tables and a communal table with some stools. The outdoor area is made up of the front patio which features a few tables. Breakfast wise they have some various scrambles, omelettes, some various pancake dishes, burritos, sandwiches and some other items. For lunch they have various salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, melts, a few pastas and some other items. They usually feature some kind of special too. I've stuck to their sandwiches, fries and their soups mostly. All have been too good to pass up. They're only open M-F I believe from 7am-4pm.

    Egg salad sandwich and chicken pozole combo

    What a gem! I'm so glad I was in the area and looking for lunch. The owners are so kind and the food is delicious! I got the half sandwich half soup, egg salad sandwich and chicken pozole -- SOO GOOD! And so fairly priced especially in Beverly Hills. This will be my go to from now on whenever I'm in the area. The menu is huge! And while I was there, they had many regulars come in, which is a good sign IMO!

    Very low quality food. Unacceptably low. Cheap ingredients, stinky greasy oil. Most definitely will not be back and do not recommend this place to anyone who cares about their health. This little nook is located on the first floor of a big building packed with medical offices where I'm sure many come for lunch from. I was here for breakfast burritos twice and regretted both times. I didn't even finish the food during my second visit. Half of the burrito went into garbage. Going to give them an extra star for the girl at the register being extremely polite but that's where any good feedback stops. Sorry, Never again.

    Food is delicious and the service if phenomenal. One of the best cafes is Beverly Hills. The owner is so friendly and personable, she can provide recommendations which you can't go wrong with any item on the menu. I have been coming here for 2 years straight during my lunch break. They are the best

    Hair in food!

    I'm so over this over priced place. Cafe Alexander is one of those work restaurants that are pricey and low quality but you pay because that's the only place in the building to go. This place is so not worth it. I would at least hope they had decent food for what they charge. 1st the lady at the front is not pleasant at all. She picks and chooses who she wants to be pleasant to. 2nd you can not tweak anything on the menu. I was told I HAD to have eggs in my breakfast burrito or the burrito wouldn't close. So you mean to tell me most of the burritos are out for vegans? Girl what? Then I order a scramble with cheddar cheese. The literally sprinkle the tiniest amount onto the scramble. 3rd. They say they charge $1.50 for 1 can of soda (which is already ridiculous), then at check out they tax a can of fucking soda and it comes to $1.59. I'm so over this place and I rather do the walk to Mickey Fine's. Also they used to put two hash brown in the scramble. Now its 1 but still the same price. They seriously need to get over themselves. **Update. Found hair more than half way through my scramble. I'm over it.***

    A friend wanted to meet here for breakfast, and although I've visited the Venice location, I've…read morenever been to this one. After driving by several times, I finally had the opportunity to stop on in. Parking is metered street, and I was lucky to find a spot right across the way around 10:30a during the week. As you walk in, the host stand is at the end and there is seating to your left. My friend was already seated here, so I just walked on in to table. A nice waitress came over shortly thereafter, and I ordered a cocoa with oatmilk (small). This 'small' was served in a glass, whereas a large would be in a typical mug you would expect. As for the drink, it was pretty good. As we caught up, I perused the menu and decided on a side of tater tots and for the first time in my life, I ordered banana bread which I was told was the closest thing to a breakfast pastry on their menu, while he went with a chickpea scramble (no bread). I don't feel it took too long for the food to arrive since we were catching up and enjoying our drinks. The restaurant was getting busier around this time as well. The banana bread had Maldon sea salt and honeycomb butter. This wasn't bad at all; I just never really had this before but I did finish it (got the remainder of it to go for later). The tater tots were just tater tots, nothing special but a larger portion which would be great for sharing alongside a side of ketchup. Service was welcoming, the space is nice, restrooms are two separate ones for all genders. Other guests that sat near us were friendly as well which made for an all-around pleasant experience. No photos taken since I was actually enjoying the company I was in. There were a few choices I was given today to meet up, and I'm glad I chose this one. Would be willing to try pizza or their pasta dishes on a future (later) visit. Note: I did see quite a few cops in the area, so I don't know if they are nabbing people for jaywalking or something else, so just be aware-

I even had a party with them and couldn't get them to talk with me about it over the phone. I get that they need decisions in writing, but they can talk and then confirm! And calling them about an order you've placed or anything else? Good luck. Still, the party was great and so has been every meal I've had there, and there have been a lot!)

We had the chicken and waffles, truffle pizza, oysters, Caesar salad, chicken Parmesan, pancakes--just to name a few--and every single dish was delicious. And for the price? It's absolutely worth it: $65 per person plus $25 for bottomless mimosas. The value is chef's kiss. Our waitstaff was amazing--super attentive, kept the food flowing, and made sure our glasses were never empty. The whole vibe is immaculate. There's a DJ playing the best 90s and 2000s R&B, and a few of us couldn't resist getting up to dance at our table. The aesthetics, the food, the drinks, the service--5 stars all around. I will definitely be back! Heads up: Valet parking only.

The space is bright, airy, and full of greenery, with a greenhouse-style bar in the middle that immediately gives the room some personality. We went during a busy brunch, but it still felt relaxed enough to settle in and catch up. My friend went with the mimosa flight, while I was facing the classic brunch dilemma of needing caffeine and a cocktail simultaneously. Thankfully, the Havana Espresso Martini exists. Crisis averted. I ordered The Country Breakfast with eggs, Impossible sausage, fingerling potatoes, a buttermilk biscuit, and arugula. It was a generous plate and much more filling than I expected. The biscuit was especially good, with that golden, flaky top that made it hard not to finish. My friend ordered the Lemon Lavender Waffles, and they looked every bit as good as they sounded. They came with macerated cherries, whipped vegan cream, and maple syrup. I liked that the menu had plenty of plant-forward options without making brunch feel overly virtuous. Everything still felt fun and indulgent enough for a weekend meal. I'd happily come back. Between the brunch menu and how inviting the space is, I can see why this place stays busy.

I hadn't been back in a few…read moreyears, and I'd forgotten both the incredible views and how easy it is to spend an afternoon there. We walked in expecting a quiet lunch and quickly realized the World Cup was on. The screening room was packed with members watching the match, and it was fun seeing everyone so invested in the game. Since we wanted to catch up, we headed to the garden patio instead. There were plenty of people enjoying lunch outside, though it never felt loud. We never had to raise our voices to hear each other, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the afternoon. Our server was fantastic. She checked on us throughout the meal, kept our drinks refreshed, and always seemed to know when to stop by and when to give us space. We never felt rushed, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. We started with the calamari to share. I ordered the Faroe Island king salmon with sautéed spinach and chimichurri, and my friend had the chopped salad. The salmon had a beautiful sear and was cooked perfectly, while the chimichurri added just the right amount of brightness. We each ordered the cucumber cocktail, mine with vodka and his with gin. It was crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on such a hot afternoon. It paired especially well with the salmon. One detail I really appreciate about Soho House is its no-photo policy. After spending a few hours there, it made perfect sense. Around us, people were catching up with friends, having meetings, enjoying lunch, or watching the match without phones constantly pointed around the room. It made the entire space feel more relaxed, and I found myself appreciating being somewhere that encouraged people to be present with each other. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. We were able to settle in, enjoy a great meal, and spend a few hours catching up without ever feeling like our table was needed for the next reservation. By the time we left, I completely understood why so many people enjoy being members. One last detail worth mentioning is valet. The attendants were friendly, professional, and efficient. It's a small touch, but it made arriving and leaving effortless.

The views are beautiful, and I appreciated the unique combination of dishes on the menu. The food itself was good. Unfortunately, the service didn't meet the same standard, which is why I'm giving it three stars. Our server was friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed or distracted. I ordered one of the juices from the menu along with the rest of our drinks, but it didn't arrive until about 30-45 minutes later--only after I had asked about it three separate times, and after our appetizers had already come out. If it wasn't available or there was a delay, I would've appreciated being told instead of having to keep asking. There was also an issue with my entrée. I ordered a sushi roll but was served yellowtail sashimi instead. During ordering, the server had to repeatedly check the menu for the names of the dishes, but since he confirmed our order before leaving the table, I didn't expect there to be any confusion. It was unfortunate because the restaurant has a lot going for it. As someone who has worked as a fine dining server in the same area, I understand that mistakes happen, but communication and attention to detail are essential. With better service, this could have easily been a much stronger experience.

The stroganoff and pappardelle arrived in its own covered dish, so hot it sat on a wood base. While it was a good comfort food dish I thought the horse radish was a little too forward for my taste. It was my companion's entree and she really enjoyed it and there was enough to take home. I had the trout filet with its crispy pepita topping served with blistered green beans.

And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito.

You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Not a bad meal by any means, but when you factor in the price and expectations, it just didn't deliver for me.
