    Boiled flavorless chicken and iceberg lettuce no thanks
    Eli C.

    First time here. I ordered the Cobb salad. The chicken that came with it was plain boiled chicken. No flavor, cold, not appealing looking at all and bland tasting. I didn't eat it, I saved it to take home to my dog. That is a HUGE disappointment. The menus says mixed greens. But a majority of the salad was ice berg. That's deceiving. I would never of ordered this salad if it said ice burg on the menu. It feels like it's put in as filler. I've also never had a Cobb salad anywhere in my life that came with ice burg lettuce. The amount of bacon, blue cheese, and avocado was plentiful. The tomato's were ok, kind of hard and under ripe. The egg was fine, the dressing was good. For the price I would expect more. The service was ok. Our server brought our drinks and then took our order then never came back for a while to check on us once...he disappeared and eventually a new server came in. A bus boy with a white mask on was passing and my elderly mother politely tried to ask about a drink, the bus boy (older man) rudely and dismissively said it's coming it's coming to her... as he passed looking straight ahead. He clearly didn't give a care and was in a bad mood. She deserved more respect and kindness. The place is cold and weird energy. I wouldn't recommend or come back here. 2 stars because the second server who popped in to check on us and bring our check was nice, and I believe his name was Josue.

    Excellent Huevos Rancheros!

    I wanted something different today for breakfast. I found it here. A nice change of pace at Hill Street Cafe.....try the Huevos Rancheros!!!

    Not dog friendly. There is a sign that they clearly only allow service dogs. Despite their patio and being nearby hiking trails, they do not allow dogs on their premises unless they are service animals. That is understandable, but don't bother if you're looking for a spot to bring your doggo with you.

    This cafe has everything you need to start your day. It is a great place to eat and take time to study or do some work. I always find that when wanting to escape the city, I drive a bit and come by. The place never disappoints.

    Eggs Benedict

    It was our first time at this cafe. We were seated right away and the service was great. However, for the price point, I was underwhelmed with the visual and taste of the dishes we ordered (eggs benedict and egg whites& turkey).

    I come to Café Montrose every single week and it never disappoints. The turkey club is consistently…read moreso good, flavorful, and perfectly toasted every time. I always pair it with their caramel iced latte with oat milk, which is honestly one of my favorites here. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. On top of that, the café is always spotless and has such a comfortable, inviting vibe. If you're looking for a go-to spot with amazing food, great drinks, and genuinely friendly service, this is it. Highly recommend!

    I don't know what's really going on here, but I swear this place is charging extra. Just realized…read morethe matcha lattes are 5.95, so why did I pay 6.95 for nothing extra. Did you charge me 1.00 for honey???? Like wtf, second time here now, just getting a cake since the matchas aren't that great. Now the cake is horrible. What's with the inconsistency of this place. I don't recommend this place at all. Response to the "Owner" I still don't believe that one bit, but you can say what you'd like. Regardless I don't care, if you are the blonde lady who was sitting at one of the tables with a container of food and laptop I believe, you should really be a little more pleasant to your customers. The attitude and eye roll you have the girl who said the coffee tasted like nothing what was lying. My matchas taste bitter and unpleasant which really should never be a problem if you know how to make matcha lattes. Be nicer, even the responds you gave me was hostile. Not one apology, maybe the food industry isn't your calling.

    I always get the galbi here, so delicious! The workers here are so sweet, great service. The place…read moreis very cute, good ambience, I'm so sad it's closing!

    I have to say I am extremely disappointed…read more 76 dollars for 3 plates. SMH. And before I go on, mochiko chicken is the only dish worth eating here. Now let's begin. Walked into a restaurant where you don't get greeted upon entry, the girl walking around just smiles at you with no words. No hello, nothing. Not even an Aloha! I've been to the big island, there's endless praises everywhere. You did not get the vibe here. First time we came here we were wowed by the food. Portions were great at first. Once we got our orders yesterday, I knew our time had come. Cant support places that over charge for no apparent reason. Plain and simple. Chicken thighs are 2-3 dollars a pound, beef is like 8-10 dollars a pound. I use to be in the food industry and to see the portions of food here the second round. Either it shows they are hurting bad, or the chef "was having a bad day?" I just don't believe that. And I can assure you they are not using halal nor organic meats for them to justify portion to pricing. Back to my first remark like I mentioned above, mochiko chicken is the only dish I recommend if someone is coming for their first time. Soft tender chicken bites sprinkled with some nori like seasoning. Rice scoop and the infamous sad Mac salad. The Mac salad needs love. Serious revamping. I make an authentic island style Mac salad time to time. Far better than this recipe. I also ordered the Galbi which I did not appreciate the bait and switch. Since I've ordered it before and this time it was not cut into strips. Last I checked with the numerous photos posted here on yelp. The version we received just wasn't it. Everyone gets a decent portion of meat. Nothing chewy or even with bones. I even said to my mother in law she is going to love this dish. And she hated it. They still had the bones of the sliced short rib on, VERY FATTY, very chewy. Such a let down. And last the Dinosaur ribs. I asked about them and was given a hand comparison to sizing. Not gonna lie this wasn't it either. There was almost no meat. Was the cow taking ozempic? Google Dinosaur Ribs. No seriously Google, Dinosaur ribs. I mean you guys need some help if you think what I got was dinosaur ribs. Definitely gotta 86 this item or give people what they actually deserve. If you're going to serve a dish and call it dinosaur ribs, atleast provide a dinosaur portion of meat on them. I mean poor execution. Flavor was decent, but having to chew the bottom connective tissue was unappealing and far from appetizing. 68 dollars plus an 8 dollar tip was too steep for this lack luster rendition of what Hawaiian food is and should be.

    Tutti perfecti!…read more Butternut squash ravioli was out of this world. Probably the best I've ever had, including in Italy. The sauce was so creamy and rich with the perfect hint of sage. I could have taken a quart of it home! The ravioli itself was perfectly cooked, generously stuffed with filling, and the taste of the butternut squash really came thru cleanly. The portion & the quality felt well worth the price, which is rare these days. An utter joy. Every bite was heaven. This will be a dish that I think about often. Mushroom risotto was delicious! Super soft mushrooms, great flavor, nicely cooked. I normally don't enjoy much rooms because they can get...squeaky. These were a generous amount, silky and smooth, and imparted a lot of great mushroom flavor to the rice. Another dish I'd order again anytime! We've also had both the lasagna and the gnocchi (w panna) and enjoyed them. The gnocchi in particular were so well made, just the perfect texture, pillow soft and a generous portion. You get a choice of sauces so I'd come back and try these with another sauce in the future just to see how that is. The panna was a lovely cream sauce with a light shallot flavor. I enjoyed it more and more as I ate and the sauce thickened. It was delivered pipping hot, so you have time to let the sauce set before digging in. Arugula & raddichio salad was SO fresh, delicious light dressing, excellent cheese. They kindly split this on two plates for us to share. Ever subsequent time we have ordered a salad they automatically do us this kindness. Very thoughtful. We have also tried the spinach and pear salad special of the day, which was delightfully tender spinach, tasty pears and an aged cheese in a wonderfully fresh dressing. I love their salad specials! We also had the special of the day appetizer which was buratta, prosciutto e melone. Delightful! The melon was crunchy & sweet, the prosciutto was great, and the buratta was so creamy. Service was excellent. Everyone who works here is very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. They always have amazing specials, so be sure to ask about those. We have ended up ordering some of those every time we have been here. One of my favorite Italian places in all of LA. The quality is consistent, the menu is varied, the specials are actually special, and the covered outdoor patio area is great in all seasons. We will be back many times, I am sure.

    GREAT FOOD & SERVICE ====================…read more My husband, son and I went to Cafe Sole for dinner on Thursday, December 18, 2025. We sat on the patio which was a little chilly, so bring a jacket if you decide to sit outside. A family with two young children also decided to dine on the patio and the two young kids screamed or cried the whole time. The parents should have just taken their food to go, but they just sat there and let their kids scream the whole time. My husband and I stayed calm, but my son was ready to snap lol. We would have never stayed in a restaurant while our child was screaming when he was little. Holy cow. Anyway, beyond the nerve wracking screaming we really loved everything we ordered. I ordered the sole with capers and fresh veggies. My son loved his gnocchi. I think my husband ordered the angel hair pasta.
