Three people after me passed on outdoor seating because it looks gross. 20+ mins and I finally get a seat at the bar. I order coffee and my meal. Coffee comes meal never does. 30 mins passes and my waitress says it's up next. Customer sitting next to me ordered after me they messed up his order and he got a new order before I ever even received food. All in wait 55mins with no food. Do you think they comped my coffee? Apologized or anything. Glad I didn't spend more than $8 here and even that was too much. Will never return because of the horrible service.

Jack's N Joe is definitely a spot worth checking out…read more Parking is a little tight, so plan ahead--but once you're in, the vibe makes up for it. It's relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for a chill breakfast or brunch. The iced coffee is strong (in the best way), and the pancakes were honestly delicious...crispy in all the right places, flavorful, and worth coming back for. Overall, a really solid experience. I'd definitely return.

First-time visitors, and we LOVED it!!…read more The entire restaurant offers guests a fun, positive vibe, with very upbeat music playing overhead, great murals throughout, and a clean, inviting atmosphere. The employees were all very friendly and welcoming. Our waiter, Kevin, was AWESOME!! He was very attentive, super friendly, and hardworking. Thank you for the great service! The real winner was the food. We placed our food order, and within 4 minutes and 7 seconds, our entire order was delivered to our table. Thank you to the chefs who were very efficient and cooked our food to PERFECTION! We ordered: My Big Fat Greek omelette Pudgie Elvis (combo #1) Cup of Joe Every food item was delicious and fresh, and though we were full at the end of our meals, it was so good it left us wanting more. It was scary good. We will DEFINITELY return to this location, as we had a positive, fun dining experience.

Our server, Kimi V. was also great. We tried the Shrimp Pasta (10/10, highly recommended), the Crispy Chicken Wings (10/10. They make these in a particular way, please ask them to explain it to you: the end result is fantastic), fish tacos (7/10, they're good, but I am neither a fish nor a taco person (however, I do like some good shrimp tacos). These ones in particular were plated and served so well ( they use blue corn tortilla: top-notch ingredient) and the ingredients were fresh, but maybe it was the type of fish? I don't really know, they were good, but I definitely would not order them again). Also, my friend had a coconut cold brew which he really enjoyed. Service was all around great. Ambiance was fantastic, the whole restaurant has a very upscale, chic vibe while also being unique in its own way. Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10. UPDATE: Added names and more clarification on the fish tacos. Thank you to the GM in leaving a response. Your whole team is fantastic. I'll definitely be back.

In the spirit of wanting local businesses to succeed, I wanted to share some honest feedback…read more Drinks are a huge part of the breakfast experience--whether it's coffee, chai, or matcha. As a matcha enthusiast, I was excited to see it on the menu, especially at such a cute breakfast spot that was beautifully celebrating Pride. Unfortunately, the Matcha Latte was disappointing. It tasted mostly like sweetened milk, with very little matcha. It made me wonder whether the recipe has been tested against the quality matcha drinks available elsewhere. The breakfast itself was decent, though I was surprised that my meal came with only a single slice of toast cut in half. As it stands, the matcha would keep me from returning regularly, which is a shame because there are many things about the restaurant that I genuinely liked.

I don't even like breakfast burritos like that, and this is probably one of the best I've ever had…read more And the rest of the menu is seriously just as good. Their pastries are top notch, always made with seasonal ingredients. Breakfast is amazing. Vibes are immaculate, lots of seating. You can park in the neighborhoods nearby, but be respectful and aware of locals. - Doubtless breakfast burrito: 12/10. Get this if you can only get one thing. Braised pork shoulder, potatoes, white cheddar, smoked chili, cilantro, onion, eggs, tomatillo salsa. I need to reiterate that I don't like breakfast burritos because they're usually greasy and heavy, and one-note. But this has such a wonderful variety of tastes and textures -- the pork shoulder is juicy and flavorful, not heavy or greasy. Tomatillo is house-made, zesty and refreshing. - Bread + jam: seasonal jam (blueberry) and sprouted rye. 7.5/10 because the portion was so small, but everything is housemade and it tastes that way. - Passionfruit pie: 10/10. Macadamia graham crust, passionfruit custard, house whipped cream, fresh passionfruit. On par with the passionfruit pies I had in Hawaii. Wonderfully tart, not too sweet, whipped cream is clearly fresh. Crust is nutty and not too buttery. - Matcha latte: 3/10. Matcha is low quality, tasted bland and weak.

Their baked goods are good, but not mind-blowingly amazing. That said, I absolutely love that they…read moreuse a lot of seasonal ingredients. Their breakfast and lunch menus are just okay. I've tried their burrito and burger, and while both were loaded with ingredients, they were surprisingly lacking in flavor. Don't get the Thomas Breakfast--I was extremely disappointed, especially considering the price we paid. Giving it 4 stars for the variety of food and baked goods, the focus on seasonal ingredients, and the ample indoor and outdoor seating.

We came here for a work dinner. Three things that I loved about Denae's:…read more1) Staff was sooooooo friendly. We were a huge party (over 20 people) and they were patient with us. Helped us decide drinks, food. Captured pics for us. 2) Decor was beautiful. This is located at what used to be the Standard. The outside area. We sat outside with a long table. But there is a long mirror that extends that makes the outside area look so much bigger - so smart. The inside is the cool diner vibe. Love that vibe and would come back just to eat inside. 3) Food and drinks were stellar. Firstly, the menu had all of the classics, but with a spin. Similar for the drinks. Drinks were so much fun! The menu was so reasonably priced! So surprising for a place in DTLA for dinner!

DINE LA REVIEW: JUST OK MEAL…read more A 3 course lunch for $25 is a great deal but the food was just okay. Parking is pricey $20 so that deducts a star. Service was slow and not so friendly- deduct another star. If you have a tight lunch break avoid Denae's. I cancelled my soup and grilled cheese because of this and they were giving me attitude. For DineLA I got the Caesar salad, turkey club and crispy fries and a blueberry cheese pie. Everything tasted great, especially the blueberry pie! Do NOT get the banana pudding it was gross super watery. We parked at the library next door and paid $5 with validation (you need a library card but they don't always check).

This was my first time at Flippers, and I already know I'll be back. We ordered the chicken and…read morewaffles, the Japanese fluffy pancakes with chocolate and banana, and my friend had the Two Eggs Any Style with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, and fluffy pancakes. The portions were generous and very filling. My friend really enjoyed her meal, and the chicken and waffles were pretty good too. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely tasty. But the real star of the meal was the Japanese fluffy pancakes with chocolate and banana. They were absolutely heavenly--the best fluffy pancakes I've ever had. Light, soft, perfectly fluffy, and not overly sweet. I'm honestly obsessed now and already looking forward to my next visit just for them. I'm giving this place five stars because those pancakes were simply unforgettable. They are my new addiction!

Flipper's was a solid brunch experience with some seriously photogenic food…read more The pancakes were definitely the star thick and fluffy, topped with chocolate cream, fresh banana, chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, and syrup on the side. Rich and decadent, so this is absolutely one to share unless you're committed to the challenge. We also tried the chicken and waffles. The waffles were nicely done and perfect with syrup, while the fried chicken had a good crispy coating and stayed juicy inside. We even added an extra basket of chicken with dipping sauces because apparently we came prepared to eat. Overall, the portions were generous, presentation was great, and everything was enjoyable. That said, while I liked the meal, it didn't quite reach that "I need to come back immediately" level for me. A few things were better than others, and for a brunch spot with this much hype, I was expecting just a little more wow factor. Still, it's absolutely worth checking out especially if you're into fluffy pancakes and over-the-top brunch dishes. Good food, fun presentation, and a satisfying brunch. I'd return, but I'd definitely come back for those pancakes first. :)
