They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

While in the area for a workout, I found myself famished and decided to stop here for a quick bite to take home with me. I ordered a bowl to go and it was made promptly although the order didn't end up being completely correct. I ordered a create your own bowl with some wild rice and kale, cucumbers, apples, chickpeas and sweet potatoes. I had also ordered the spicy cashew dressing and pesto vinaigrette but in place of the pesto vinaigrette I was given hot sauce. I double checked the order slip that was placed on the package and it was marked with both dressings, so I know the mistake wasn't on my end. Regardless, all of the veggies were very fresh and the dressing and hot sauce were very flavorful. Everything was portioned well and the meal was very hearty. It was also packaged in a way that made it easy to take with me to go. They have a lovely spacious outdoor patio that I would have loved to sit on, especially since it was a gorgeous day out. The inside and exterior of the restaurant was also very clean and tidy and bright. The service was friendly but it was busy when I came, so it felt like they were very rushed. Parking was very easy in their giant lot that they share with Amazon Fresh and a few other businesses.

Eww. I went to a Sweetgreen about five years ago and should have learned my lesson. But my wife…read morehad never been and I guess she needed to learn a lesson, too. The salads when we got them home were just about inedible. The actual "greens" were OK, I guess. But: -the dressings sucked...bad tastes and so sweet. -both of us bit into chicken pieces that had the crunchy cartilage part. This is BASIC for any restaurant serving chicken... no Crunchy Cartilage Parts! -the assembly line preparation looks like it could be kind of cool and efficient if all the elements were crazy good. Like Chipotle back in the day. But this looked like what it was... children dipping their ladles into not so great-looking bins of ingredients. (The kid serving us was actually quite nice and personable.) -I went and looked at the calories, fats, carbs, etc (online)( and was not impressed. Not how I want to use up that 755 calories for a salad. I predict this place will be gone within a few months of the new Whole Foods going into this complex. I'm so bummed... I just wanted a decent place to grab a decent salad that is walking distance from my house.

The modern, fast-casual spot features a wide array of baked goods (all looking fantastic) and a menu of all-day breakfast dishes, sandwiches, burgers, quiches, and a range of other options. You order at the counter with a friendly host, then wait at your table for a runner to bring your food, which arrives pretty quickly. The crowd is a mix of young parents with kids, Hollywood types having script meetings, and all sorts of friends having a meal and catching up. It's lively and a bit loud, but you can also sit outside if that suits you more. My wife and I both ordered breakfast for lunch, with her opting for a pancake. Large, malty and nicely cooked, this was a good-looking and filling flapjack that could be improved with the addition of fresh butter and warm syrup (rather than the pre-prepped plastic ramekin of room temp syrup). I ordered the Hashtag: a skillet of Hash Browns topped with Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeños and a pair of Over-Medium Eggs. The potatoes were nicely crisped in the skillet, with the bacon adding a smoky depth that paired well with the richness of the cheddar and the spice of the jalapeño. The very-properly-prepared eggs had yolks just gooey enough to become a sauce for the layered hash below, and making for a very appealing savory/spicy bite. I also appreciated the size of the portion, which was moderate rather than over-abundant; that keeps the price reasonable and allows the components of the dish to work together without anything becoming overwhelming. In the end, Claudine is a reliable place for a casual meal with friends; a place where you can relax and feel at home while away from home.

They were light, sweet, and a nice way to start the meal without committing to a full sweet breakfast. For my main meal, I had the Steak Hash, which was really good. The combination of beef tenderloin, potatoes, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, Gorgonzola, and hollandaise made it hearty and flavorful. We also had the Crunchy French Toast, and that was amazing. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal and something I would order again. What made the experience even better was the owner. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made you feel like he genuinely appreciated you being there. That kind of hospitality always stands out.

We paid $68 for two salads and an order of fries, which felt overpriced for the quality and portions. What really stood out, however, was the customer service. I visited with my mother and my toddler son. Since my son wasn't going to eat fried food, I bought him a fruit smoothie from a neighboring business. While we were already in line paying for our order, the owner or manager approached us and informed us that outside food and drinks were not allowed because the restaurant is kosher. Although he said he would make an exception this one time, he approached us again while we were waiting outside for our food. We had chosen to sit outside because the restaurant was crowded, loud, and stuffy inside. Despite us not causing any issues, he again insisted that the smoothie could not be on the premises and began explaining that his license could be suspended due to association rules. We politely told him it wasn't a problem and decided to take our food to go. I understand businesses have policies, but the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially considering the drink was for a toddler and we had already spent nearly $70 at the restaurant. Between the mediocre food, high prices, and rude customer service, I would not return. There are plenty of better dining options in the area.
