    Walked into eat this cafe with no high expectations, I had been recommended this place by various people before and I finally gave in to try it out! I entered like an hour before closing so it was empty but I heard it gets really busy during the weekends because of their bottomless mimosas! I ordered the breakfast burrito, not expecting much, but this burrito was soooo good! I paired it with seasonal fruit and it made the whole meal perfect! My plate was fulling and fresh, my boyfriend ordered a sandwich with their house salad and we were pleasantly surprised with the portions on the sandwich as well! They offer complimentary waters for table but I ordered their ice tea! It tasted like it was freshly brewed, not bitter just right! I am so glad I stopped by this place and was left amazed by the food and the customer service. Only sucky part about the establishment was that there is no private parking lot, only public street parking !

    My friends and I came here for brunch and the food was awesome! Their bottomless deal was definitely worth it if you're having more than two drinks. I had the most delicious pancakes & my friends had some huevos rancheros that were also delicious!!

    I ordered food from Grubhub and selected curbside pickup. I called when I arrived as instructed and pulled over on the side street because there is no room out front and the woman told me that they don't offer curbside pick up. She also said that the order showed that I selected pick up, not curbside. This is a lie. I went inside and there was a boy standing behind the POS system, and I showed him my phone which clearly shows that I selected curbside and word-for-word I asked, "You guys don't do curbside?" He responded to me with a sarcastic, overly sassy tone, and said, "Absolutely not!" Of all the ways he could've responded to show good customer service, this was what he felt was the best reply. I'm a manager in the service industry and I can tell you hands-down, if I heard one of my employees respond like that, they would, at the very least, receive a write up for the piss poor attitude.

    Amazing choice for brunch convenient to Hollywood. Came across this place while staying at the W Hollywood. I wanted a place with bottomless mimosas to save money and not be overcharged for staple breakfast items at the hotel restaurant. I assumed the trade off would be food quality but I was completely wrong. Th Grand Marnier French toast was Top 3, not 3. Probably the best french toast I've ever had. The orange flavor was infused into the toast and not overpowering, but the perfect compliment. The turkey sausage was a little dry but I chose that as a healthier alternative to bacon, so I won't be overcritical. The bottomless mimosas were straight to the point and a good mix of juice and bubbles. Our server was kind and attentive. They offer indoor and outdoor seating along the sidewalks which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. Ideal spot for good eats without the luxury tax you would expect from Los Angeles. 10/10!!

    Stopped in for the first time as a party of two for brunch on Friday and we both had a really nice meal. It's a quick and casual little brunch and lunch spot that was even better than we were expecting. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. They do have a good size menu with a lot of good options on it, there was more than I expected there to be. Inside is not very large, there aren't many tables, but service is fast so I'm sure the tables turn quickly. I did not see any outside seating, it was all indoor. There is not a dedicated parking lot, street parking only. We found metered parking on the same block of the restaurant otherwise parking may be a bit tricky. I started off a BBL, which is an iced coffee with brown sugar, banana syrup, and cinnamon. It was honestly really good and I would go back in there just for that alone. For my breakfast, I chose the Crab Cake Benedict and added avocado and really enjoyed it. The crabcakes were almost crispy and they had a lot of flavor to them which I really enjoyed. My eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered them and overall, I thought it was a really nice meal. It is a bit more expensive than I expected it to be, we did start with a pair of the Corn Ribs, which were a nice start but everything was just a little bit pricey. It was almost $90 for a party of two, but I do think it is worth it if you're in the area and stop in on occasion.

    Delicious! I came here for Mother's Day with my 2 sons. Great service and breakfast. Would definitely come back again :)

    I think the kitchen may open later u arrived at 9 am . Three people in store one server and I believe possibly an owner . They are cashless . They are quiet . There kitchen opens when the chef comes in I presume since seven minutes in and an order is being placed . If you want to work here there is plenty of space ! I've been here before so I know the food is good ! Mimosa fell flat zero bubbles but I'm just studying lines and it isn't a big deal ! Parking is around the area metered

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich
    Evon S.

    Small brunch place where I highly suggest a reservation is made. The food is good however you may need to order more to keep up with the endless mimosas that keep getting poured as part of the bottomless mimosas package. The service is decent I must say. Unfortunately I did not get my full 2 hours of mimosas but more like 45 minutes because they were closing an hour after my reservation time. It's unfortunate but I'll keep the business hours in mind for next time.

    The food was very delicious and affordable , Service was great. Everyone was so nice. The ambience was very open and light.

    This is a nice brunch/lunch place in LA. Food was good. Service was nice and attentive in the beginning, but got really slow near the end. Maybe they got busy or it was near closing time so they had to clean up. Our server didn't use any note taking device, so they forgot certain requests when the order got more complicated. * Cilantro Fire Shrimp Burrito 4.5/5 - The burrito was good. The shrimp was well seasoned with a small spicy kick. Some items was asked to be added on the side but not all was included. * Chilaquiles 5/5 - I really liked this. It came with chips, Spanish rice, and fried eggs. You can add pulled pork for $5 extra. The sauce was good, creamy and slightly spicy. * Dubai Chocolate Waffles 5/5 - Their twist on the Dubai chocolate. It came with waffles and strawberries drizzled with pistachio cream and chocolate sauce, sprinkled with crunchy filo pastry. It was pretty good! * Avocado Toast 3.5/5 - Kinda simple, avocado slices on top of sourdough toast, nothing exciting. They did hook us up with a lot of avocado, though. You can add eggs for $3.

    First timer! The food was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend the ultimate breakfast burrito and blueberry pancakes. Very good, not greasy and good amount to share. The bottomless mimosas are the way to go and worth it. Service is fast and very attentive. The restaurant is very modern and has greenery. I will be back!

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Flaming Burrito
    Justin C.

    Great vibes here! I was in the area and came on Saturday around 11 am for brunch. Parking is slightly difficult, as it's just street parking but there is a neighborhood behind the restaurant and we found parking about a 1 min walk away. We didn't wait at all for a party of two but honestly, I would recommend trying to make a yelp reservation here. It seemed to get pretty busy closer to noon and a few larger parties were waiting outside when we left. The place is super small and we were like no more than 8 inches away from the table next to us haha We ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich which comes with potato chips and the Flaming Burrito which comes with Home Fries. We absolutely loved the Home Fries; they're mini potatoes and so hot and crispy. We had to order another side of them!! Honestly, the food was alright. It was good and we have no complaints but it wasn't mind blowing. The flaming burrito is basically crispy chicken pieces, chips, and eggs and honestly it was the burrito form of the spicy chicken sandwich lol so we feel like we basically got the same thing. I would highly highly recommend getting the bottomless mimosas! I never saw a table with an empty glass and the server was on top of it walking around the restaurant topping off everyone's drinks even if they were more than half full! It's a great deal too - $22 for bottomless mimosas. Like I said before, the vibes in this restaurant were great. Very lively! The servers were all great and attentive. I had a great time here and will be back. Solid 4.5/5 in my book.

    Breakfast Burrito & Chilaquiles with Carnitas
    Jazmine S.

    I've been here twice, this being my second time and the food is a hit. i got the breakfast burrito and this other plate. Soooo delicious and the service was phenomenal. 10/10. The vibes, the food, everything and everyone was very detail oriented. I'm definitely adding this to my list of go-tos when visiting the city.

    Breakfast was amazing. Thank you!

People at the front of the house are hit or miss. Food is mostly consistent in its quality and flavors. The drinks are also consistently good.

    I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

    This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.

    Had a chance to dine at The Rising Sun. The setup is simple. You find a seat, order through a QR…read morecode, and pick up your food at the window when it's ready. There is a small seating area, and the seats weren't particularly comfortable, but the space seems intended more for a quick stop rather than a long sit-down meal. I ordered the beignet, breakfast po'boy sandwich, and chicken and waffles. - The beignet tasted good, but the portion was quite small. - The egg in the breakfast po'boy was burnt, which affected the overall flavor. - The chicken and waffles tasted like frozen food that had been reheated rather than freshly made. On the positive side, the service was very kind and friendly. However, overall the food was disappointing.

Came for Valentine's day lunch. outdoor seating only and next to parking lot; smell of cars ugh; seat ourselves, order via QR code, pick up your own food, check on food and drinks about 5 times because we were not told when it would be ready; got half our order and told the rest wasn't ready and they would bring it to us; never happened so went back to get our Caesar salad and tater tots and they were clueless about my order; waited and was handed a salad the size of my palm hand-disappointing; the vibe of staff was poor, unfriendly and seemed annoyed more than anything. we cleaned our own table and agreed vibe no n food good enough.

    Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

    We were going to the Obscure Bar in the Arts District for the 6 cocktail we had no clue what at 8pm…read moreand while I had walked past this beautiful restaurant a few times roaming around the DTLA arts district, I had never actually eaten at Manuela's. This restaurant is set in the Hauser and Wirth art Gallery complex and since we got there early we toured the front gallery with an incredible assist from a docent named Michael who pointed out the most incredible pieces and steered us to the gallery at the back of the complex behind Manuela's. Both galleries are worth exploring. However, back to Manuela's. Our very friendly server sat us on the large wraparound patio and after my explaining my celiac issues and getting some guidance on their incredible menu, we shared the following after my friend ordered a delicious Sangria while knowing as a lightweight and cheap date I would be having 6 cocktails later, I ordered the Ta Ta Tatiana- Watermelon, ginger, honey, lemon, mint, bitters: Cast iron cornbread, cultured butter, wildflower honey Kusshi oysters, Nantes carrot mignonette Arugula, emerald beauty plum, goat cheese, spiced pecans, aged balsamic Hokkaido scallops, brown butter-bacon vinaigrette, mustard greens The oysters came out first and had a delightful and unusual carrot mignonette. Small and not like Louisiana Gulf Oysters, they were fresh and delicious. Next came the Arugula salad that was tart and tasty as well as a generous portion. The cast iron cornbread was ridiculously so good I joked that I would just order two of them next time. This joint actually makes their cornbread without flour which is sadly rare for me so not only was this a gluten free treat, it was light and just melted in blissful corn flavor. Last came the scallops in a brown butter bacon vinaigrette with mustard greens that was so perfectly prepared these might be the best scallops I've ever eaten, which can sometimes be dicey. With the sauce they could have served blackened, sautéed asphalt and it would have tasted good. Well done to Manuela's all around.

The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting to celebrate with my closest friends and family. We did a family-style brunch, and let me tell you, they did not miss. We started with the arugula salad, Louisiana shrimp aguachile, and cream biscuits. Those biscuits? Listennnn. Order them. Fight over them if you have to. lol They were THAT good! For the main dishes, we shared the French toast, chilaquiles, and shrimp and grits, along with house-made bacon and butterball potatoes. The French toast and bacon were my favorites by far. My goodness. I am still thinking about them. The shrimp and grits were also perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. What made me laugh was that our group is usually very chatty. There was so much talking, catching up, and laughing. Then the food arrived and suddenly all you heard were forks and spoons hitting plates followed by a bunch of "mmm," "oh wow," and "girl! you've got to try this." That's when you know the food is doing its job. Our server was amazing and took such great care of us. Everything came out smoothly, and we never felt rushed. Between the beautiful setting, incredible food, and being surrounded by people I love, it was one of those afternoons I'll always remember. I'll absolutely be back, and those biscuits and French toast will be the first things I order.
