    Crunchy Croissant French Toast Biscuits & Gravy
    Ashley H.

    The croissant French toast was fresh and light! The biscuits and gravy were decent, needed a little more flavor but overall great. Service is okay, you order at the counter and they bring it out. Had to ask for plates 2 times and then eventually had to walk to the counter to get myself so that was a bit disappointing. Everything else is self serve... water and silverware. Outside is smaller picnic style tables. The parking is free in the lot!

    Fratelli Cafe is one of those brunch spots that checks all the boxes. The decor has that fun hipster vibe that's trendy without trying too hard, making it feel both stylish and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious! The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and quickly became my favorite part of the meal. Pair that with a fresh-squeezed orange juice, and it was the perfect brunch combination. The menu has plenty of great options, so there's something for everyone, whether you're craving a classic breakfast or something a little different. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. Add in the family friendly environment, and you've got a place that's perfect for meeting friends, bringing the family, or just treating yourself to a great brunch. Parking is very limited so you will have to park in the neighborhood but other than that it is a total must try spot if you're in the area.

    "F" The F Burger
    Boj o.

    I really wanted to like this place, especially with the location being right in the heart of Melrose and all the hype around LA food spots, but unfortunately our experience was pretty underwhelming overall. I ordered the F Burger, and while it looked promising, it lacked the savory flavor and seasoning I was expecting. It honestly tasted like a very basic burger with little personality. The patty had juices, but not that rich, flavorful, satisfying beefiness you expect from a good burger. It also wasn't very juicy or memorable. It's smashed and it's probably why. My wife ordered the avocado chicken sandwich, and sadly the chicken was extremely dry. It just wasn't enjoyable to eat. The fries that came with our meals were lukewarm by the time they reached the table, which added to the disappointment. Service-wise, the food also took longer than expected considering how simple the order was. Maybe they want all our order to come out at the same time? I don't know. The Smoothie "Rooty Tooty" wasn't even refreshingly cold. We actually had to order some ice. We visited on Mother's Day, so I understand places can get busy, and parking on Melrose is always hit or miss, but we still left feeling pretty disappointed with the overall experience. I'm giving 3 stars because the place itself has potential and the staff was fine, but the food quality just didn't match the expectations or pricing. Hopefully management takes feedback seriously because with some improvements in flavor, consistency, and food temperature, this place could be much better. Unfortunately for us, this may end up being both our first and last visit.

    "The classic" croissant breakfast sandwich. It was a bit panini style, very good

    This was a cool spot I found. People were super friendly. The food was good! Cool covered outdoor patio to be enjoyed as well as seating inside. Cool look to the place. I'd definitely eat here again........ what you haven't??? You should give it a try!

    Enjoyed a delicious brunch here with my husband, who showed me this place. I like the casual atmosphere and cozy interior. Although we sat indoors, I noticed that there was a ton of outdoor seating available. Apparently this restaurant is super popular on weekends, so we were able to avoid any waiting by visiting on a weekday. There are very many beverage and food options on the menu, including all-day breakfast and lunch. This restaurant even offers full vegan and vegetarian substitutions as well as dairy-free and gluten-free options. Everything sounded delicious, but we ultimately ordered these 3 dishes: Crunchy Croissant French Toast: Very delicious and indulgent. A buttery croissant is used instead of a typical slice of bread, making the dish extra rich to eat. The bananas, strawberries, granola, powdered sugar, and white chocolate drizzle brought the entire thing together. I really liked the crispy outer layer and soft interior. Green Eggs & Ben: Served with a side of potatoes, this is a twist on the classic eggs benedict. The 2 soft-poached eggs were covered in a creamy hollandaise sauce. The runny egg yolks mixed very nicely with the english muffins, applewood-smoked bacon, and sautéed spinach. Crispy Fried Shrimp Tacos: My least favorite of our 3 dishes, but still tasty. There were 3 tacos stuffed with fried shrimp, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and chipotle aioli. Because of the sauce, there was a small kick of spiciness. We had the option to pick fries or house saladon the side, in which we decided on the fries. The fries were nice and crispy.

    Cute atmosphere, great food, quick service, and reasonable prices! I've been here twice and tried the Crunchy Croissant French Toast and the Chicken Club Wrap. * The croissant french toast had more of a softer french toast texture than a flaky croissant texture. I liked the fresh fruits and the crunchy granola as toppings. It was filling and a fun sweet breakfast. * The chicken club wrap was delicious and filling! It also comes with either fries or a salad on the side. The chicken was tender, the cheese was melty, and it didn't feel heavy for lunch. It tasted exactly like I expected it to. I would recommend this restaurant for an affordable and easygoing meal. There is street parking (easier to park in the neighborhoods) and indoor and outdoor seating.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Tiffany H.

    Arrived on a Saturday at around 11 am. There was no wait and there was plenty of seating. We ordered the huevos rancheros, signature croissant French toast and the bacon hash. The huevos rancheros were pretty good! It didn't taste too greasy/heavy and had a nice balance of flavors. The bacon hash was mediocre. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but it just tasted like bacon, eggs and veggies mixed together. There wasn't anything that stood out about that dish. Lastly, the signature croissant French toast was delightful! I thought it was an interesting concept and it tasted yummy! Kind of reminded me of pancakes. Would recommend ordering that if you have a sweeter palette. Service was excellent! You order with the cashier first and then they bring your food over to you. We received our food pretty quickly and the workers there were kind. Parking might be a bit difficult since it's on a busy street but we were able to find parking right next to the cafe. Not sure I'd come back since there are several other brunch spots to try but it's worth a try!

    It's a very cute cafe, nice interior. It was so hard to choose what I wanted to eat but I got The Chicken croissantwich. My friend got the Smash Burger. I think my sandwich was good with the first bite however as I kept eating I realize that i wanted more flavor. I wish there was more chipotle sauce. The sweet potato fries were pretty good! Very crispy. For the smash burger, I was surprised to see that it didn't come with lettuce or tomato but peppers. For this restaurant, you would order at the front and they bring out your food to you. Very kind staff and good service. I would come again if I was in the LA area.

    Of all the brunch style restaurants around LA, Fratelli is one of my go to spots. From their menu range to the high quality food, I was able to show my wife this amazing brunch spot. This spot is a "order then get seated type spot." Before arriving, I suggest getting on the Yelp waitlist if the restaurant is busy. Highly recommend this to avoid long wait times. Parking here is street parking only as they don't have a dedicated lot. There's plenty of street parking around but watch out for some metered parking. There's plenty of indoor seating but it's a bit cramped I'd say indoors, many prefer to sit outdoors as they have more outdoor seating than indoors. It's shaded which is nice to avoid the heat. Restaurant is pretty clean overall. However, there's only one restroom and it's pretty dirty in there, manageable but look out for that. As stated before, it's a order then get seated type restaurant. Water cups can be filled on the left indoors by yourself, so service aside from ordering is kind of nonexistent. Staff would still check up on you but they mostly are just doing work and wouldn't bother you and your food. Their menu is quite extensive but my wife and I ordered the Green Eggs & Ben, Crunchy Croissant French Toast, and the Crispy Fried Shrimp Tacos. All 1-2 serving type dishes but we mostly enjoyed the dishes together. -- Green Eggs & Ben -- Pretty standard to your usual benedicts at any brunch spots. Not too salty and it was perfect to share. The eggs were cooked perfectly, poached and very soft. Highly recommend -- Crunchy Croissant French Toast -- Filled with bananas, strawberries, granola, and served with white chocolate drizzle, it was the perfect dish to conclude the meal. Surprisingly, it wasn't super sweet which was a good change. Portions are huge so this is a great dish to share. The various fruits is a nice touch to the French toast and certainly adds tons of flavor, love it as a whole. -- Crispy Fried Shrimp Tacos -- Came with 3 tacos and a side of fries. I'd say, the tacos are pretty basic, a food truck taco tastes better and is cheaper. The whole taco itself is a bit dry but still fairly delicious. The side of fries is a nice touch to the dish. Very similar to fish tacos. Overall, a wonderful brunch spot, always high quality food whenever I visited, love the standard brunch options and excited to expand on their menu the next time I visit.

    Lobos B.C.
    Analiea M.

    Came here on a Saturday for brunch and it was very lively and packed here. It's located right on Melrose Avenue, meaning parking can be difficult. Love that this place is dog friendly and has patio seating. I got the Lobos BC smoothie and the taste was delicious, but it was not blended enough. There was too many thick pieces of ice and peanuts, and it made it too hard to drink through a straw. Honestly kind of upsetting because it's not too hard to make sure a smoothie is fully blended. My friend got a chicken sandwich and it was just okay. Nothing special, and the fries were pretty basic as well. The staff were all super friendly though. I might need to try something different off the menu next time.

    The register

    Ambiance - It was very chill and welcoming. Very spacious inside with patio dining. Plenty of seating especially since we arrived 30 mins before closing. Hardly anyone was there. A young boy sitting on the other side of the water station and an older woman seated against the wall waiting for her order. As well as 2 gentleman sitting at a table outside. Service - The customer service was great. No complaints. The associates were real cool, professional and knowledgeable of the menu. We were able to order at the register then grab us a table in the patio area. Our orders were ready in about 10 mins. Food - I ordered the chicken and waffle just cuz I wanted to try it out and the steak omelette for my girl. The waffle is a thick Belgian waffle with 2-3 pieces of white meat chicken depending on the cuts. Chicken pieces were thinner than expected. The steak omelette comes with square potatoes and 2 pieces of wheat bread. Everything was cool, she just expected more seasoning from the steak omelette that's all. And the OJ was really good. Tastes like fresh squeezed orange juice. We can see ourselves returning in the future. I did say I would come back one early morning for some coffee. As far as for brunch; I would like to try something else on the menu, maybe their croissants pancakes. I heard they were popular.

    Absolutely delicious lunch. Good price point. Really nice chill patio. Super pleasant. The service was just ok, felt unnecessarily stern. It wasn't crowded. Our food came out very quickly and was prepared well. The Benedict with crispy potatoes was excellent. Big menu, I'd go back anytime to try more things.

F is for French! lol Yeah, sometimes you've gotta just exclaim: "I'm gettin' the Burger and I'm most DEFINITELY getting the Fries!" And nobody and I mean Nobody is going to stop me! Yeah, that was me and my mindset when I was out at the Beverly Center back in August. Hey! It was lunch. I was hungry. & Nicolas Eatery was there to handle all my needs. And just like Napoleon Bonaparte would have done... I strolled in, I walked straight to the bar top, sat down, placed my napkin in my lap, ordered a burger, a side of fries and of course L.A's FINEST tap water. And just like that, instead of following trends... I was setting them! So what did I get you ask?? Le Beverly Burger of course!! This alongside their perfectly fried French fries which you know I dipped in Ketchup... Yes, I know, so American of me! =) Sadly, my only mistake I made on this day... I should have ordered my favorite French Beer, 1664 Kronenbourg.... Damn! But Lance, this Mall is so crazy, where the heck do I go?? Nicolas Eatery is located on Level 6, or "six" in French (Fun Fact: spelled the same, sounds totally different) and trust, my French is No Good! If you're able to snag a window seat, you will get a clear view of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. Of course I went with the Burger, but trust, this place has more than just French Fries. -French Baguette with Butter -French Onion Soup -French Omelette But if want to drink like the French do... You know they've got a little vin (wine) or you can go with the classic French 75 cocktail. So, to this ai say: Be like the French. Eat like the French. Drink... Like the French and come start your own La Révolution! But instead of storming Bastille, storm Beverly Center and demand your freedom to order whatever the hell you choose from Nicolas Eatery! And after you're done, walk out proudly singing Viva La France!!!

The restaurant is billed as French-Vietnamese and previously offered pho and related fare but did not have these options on our visit. Our family came on a Saturday evening after an afternoon in the mall. I got the Ahi Tuna burger ($18), a substantial slab of Ahi Tuna steak on a bun with a wasabi mayo and paired with perfectly crispy, well salted frites ($5). We also got the French lobster roll ($26) a decent, but not groundbreaking, sandwich with a spicy sauce. One of our children got the tomato soup ($10) which was phenomenal - creamy and tomatoey - and paired well with grilled cheese. The cafe was clean and positioned with a great view; service was good too, with the waitress making suggestions and accommodating our children's special requests. Prices, as listed above, were excellent for the quality and quantity of food provided in an otherwise quite expensive area. More Parisien then Indochine, Nicholas deserves the unusually high rating it commands for the area. If you're in the Beverly Center and looking for a quality, high-value meal, Nicholas est la meilleur choix. Magnifique! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

FOOD Bubble Waffle with Pistachio Gelato (5.5/5): Omg! I didn't know they have egg waffle here as well. It's a classic Hong Kong street food that I grew up with, you don't really see it around. The egg waffle is tasty, it doesn't taste bland and not overly seasoned (it has the egg custard-y taste, not too sweet), and it has a light crisp outside. I had a gelato to pair with it. The pistachio flavor is yummy, it has chopped pistachio nuts inside so the texture is rich. If you have a sweet tooth, pair it with a scoop of gelato, they compliment each other well. *finish the gelato first so it doesn't make the egg waffle loose it's crisp Pastrami Brisket Sandwich (5/5): They recommended me the Pastrami Brisket Sandwich and the prosciutto one, I haven't had lunch so I went with the pastrami- it was good. The bread is pretty soft and it's decently portioned, you could share the sandwich. It's a simple sandwich that's healthy and flavourful, you don't feel heavy after eating it. I like that it's not messy to eat (not overly saucey)! They hold the fillings with the little wooden sticks. AMBIENCE Sitting is spacious and clean, it's at the corner of the mall so it's not too crowded. There is enough space to put your shopping bags if you're trying to grab a quick bite around. Service is quite decent, the staff recommended the right stuff. It didn't take a long time for the food to be ready, good for grab and go. OVERALL I think it's a casual spot that serves healthy quick bites, it's a good option to sit down after or in between a shopping spree. It's not loud so you could definitely hold conversations here.
