    Breakfast Egg Sandwich and build your own omelette
    Hande G.

    A Perfect Breakfast Spot - and Our Third Visit! We had such a fantastic breakfast experience at this coffee shop -- it's actually our third time here today, and that says it all! I built my own omelet with mushrooms, spinach, and feta -- it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The coffee was smooth and delicious, with friendly refills offered without even asking. The fruit on the side was fresh and added a nice touch. A standout was the egg sandwich -- it looked so good in the photo my friend took, and somehow tasted even better. Everything we tried was clearly made with care. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive every time we came in, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed -- the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, great service, and a place you'll want to keep coming back to -- clearly, we couldn't stay away!

    The cutest little diner in WeHo! I came with friends for a late lunch, the portions were huge! Great value for the price and our server was so kind and attentive. He messed up the bill when we split it, but he fixed it right away. Will definitely come back!

    Crab Cake Benedict + avocado
    Zan L.

    We had a really delicious breakfast on this rainy Saturday morning. I would say it's one of the better breakfast options in West Hollywood. It's a true classic diner that has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a large free parking lot behind the restaurant so parking is really easy. Service was a bit slow for us today, but the food items arrived fairly quickly after ordering once we were able to. They have a fairly large menu filled with all the classic diner options. Today I chose the Crab Cake Benedict and was really satisfied with it. The cake had a great crab flavor to them and were really crispy. I added avocado, which I would highly recommend doing with this dish. I wish they would have hashbrowns as an option because the breakfast potatoes aren't nearly as good but that is a personal preference. The portion sizes are fairly large here so you will not leave hungry. I would recommend to anyone searching for a great breakfast or brunch option in West Hollywood. I plan to be back in the future to try more items.

    Green Eggs & Ham
    Tony T.

    I've been here twice and the food is not memorable. Which isn't a bad thing. I got the free eggs and ham and the ham was a bit chewier than I'm expecting like it tasted really processed. The eggs were decent since it was mixed in with some pesto and the potatoes were done well. If you're nearby I would recommend checking it out but the food isn't to rave home about but it's also not bad. Service is also quick but can be slow if you sit outside where they may not see you outside.

    Solid little diner in WeHo. One of the only ones open on a Sunday morning at 8am (surprisingly). Menu has a good range of options with something for everyone, herbivores to carnivores

    French toast. Skip it.
    Kelsey K.

    I'm really disappointed in this cafe because it's in my neighborhood and there are very limited options within walking distance. As you can see in the photo, the French toast was completely burnt and inedible, and the eggs scrambled that I got was swimming in oil -- just completely unappetizing, the whole thing. I didn't go back to return it because I have a baby and he had just fallen asleep when I got home, so I didn't want to disturb him. I had to throw the whole thing away. Wish I had a better experience. Not sure if this was a one-off or just how they are, but it's never busy so that's not a good sign.

    The place was really nice, decent food, nice decor. The service was very kind, defensively worth a stop.

    Joey's Breakfast
    Miranda T.

    Joey's Cafe is a gem! Went here unexpectedly after our initial reservation elsewhere got cancelled. There is seating indoors and outdoors, and it was fairly busy for a Saturday afternoon. The service was good, as the servers were attentive, but also gave us some time to browse the menu at our leisure. The ambiance was busy and diner-like, with some tables and some booths. Food was good! The iced matcha latte and chai latte were yummy, and we got to take them to-go too, which was nice, because they were actually bigger than expected (which is a nice surprise). Joey's Breakfast was a good portion, and I loved the whipped butter on the side. I also appreciated having the fruit addition and the options for the side of meat and bread. Overall, this was an unexpected meal, but so happy that we got to try it and we will definitely come back!

    Steak quesadilla
    Marcelino R.

    I love this place! They have Indoor and outdoor seating for everyone to enjoy. It's hands down my favorite spot to go meet friends for lunch or breakfast. It's a shame that their hours are so limited now. Highly recommend the steak chesadilla! It's so good and always hits the spot. It's a must visit if you are in West Hollywood.

    Met up on Saturday afternoon with my friends from the desert at their suggestion. I had not been to West Hollywood in ages and reveled in all the changes. Joeys is on a corner of Santa Monica Blvd next to a "Crossroads" store. They had several tables available outside and inside. You can also sit on a swiveling barstool at the counter if that suits your fancy! It wasn't too busy at 2:30pm so we were able to grab a nice big table outside. The service was good. *Plenty of free refills on our lemonade, ice tea and my Arnold Palmer!!! Great view to watch everyone pass by. (Which I love to do). The salmon salad and protein salad were good. Big servings here at reasonable prices. They are known for their breakfast and lunch. Conveniently located across from another one of my fav places! Hamburger Mary's!!! Best drag bingo in town. *plenty of meter parking *limited parking on side streets. READ THE SIGNS CAREFULLY to avoid a ticket. *there is a parking lot behind Joeys if you can grab a space. They share it with Crossroads.

    On the plus side, there was no wait at all on a Saturday at prime brunch time! Then I guess I could see why. I stopped in at Joey's because a friend was eating there so I just joined for a coffee and a pastry. I asked for a dirty chai with soy milk, which came out to $7.95. It was huge and gross. I also got a croissant to go with it, which looked and tasted like a 3 day old Costco croissant. Oddly, it was cut in half and toasted so it was dry and tasteless. Everything about this place is below par and expensive. To top it all off, we got the bill and after taking a look to split our tab, realized that the subtotal was $2 off the itemized cost and did not match what we were charged.

    Joey's is my favorite little neighborhood diner. It's a perfect place for that All American breakfast that feels like it's made with love. T They have fantastic smoothies with all kinds of fruit flavors and in combinations of fruit flavors. I just love it. Having a salad there @ midday is also quite good. Their salads are both hearty and tasty for sure. From the outside you'd never know that there's so much delicious goodness to be found inside, because it really is a rather unassuming place, but as I said, as far as a neighborhood diner, it's my favorite neighborhood. P.S. To be clear, remember that the "neighborhood" that I'm referring to is West Hollywood and so know that the bar is high.

    Chicken Fingers Lunch
    Fredy Z.

    A place I'm going to return to try the omelette and pancakes . They look so delicious when I saw it pass by and I want to give it a try when I'm there next time. However today I've tried the chicken Finger followed by a California Burger and Turkey Club . It was massively big but for the price I can see why now but it was delicious the French fries were fresh! You have the option to sit inside or out . Perfect since summer is here ! There was no waiting since I went early In the day and the service was amazing they were fast, is like they read the room if anyone wants something. Lots of regulars come here by the looks of it ! I'm looking forward to trying it again!

    Joey's Cobb salad, al fresco.

I was certainly surprised because I was not expecting it to be incredibly flavorful. It was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommended!

We started with the farmhouse beets, a delicious balance of beets, arugula and dressing topped with candied pecans. The portion was more than enough so we boxed some up to leave room for the main course. Our mains were the wagyu beef stroganoff and the trout filet with blistered green beans. The stroganoff and pappardelle arrived in its own covered dish, so hot it sat on a wood base. While it was a good comfort food dish I thought the horse radish was a little too forward for my taste. It was my companion's entree and she really enjoyed it and there was enough to take home. I had the trout filet with its crispy pepita topping served with blistered green beans. Very happy with my choice and it was also a generous portion. Dessert was the yuzu olive oil cake for my friend and butterscotch budino for me. I loved the balance of butterscotch, crème fraiche, salt and pecans. And the pecan cookie was a great accompaniment. She enjoyed her selection as well. Corkage fee is $20. From the ambiance to the food and service, it was another great experience here. Parking was easy with metered parking along Beverly.

    Darling was on my list to try ever since I read about it on Eater. It eventually became one of 2…read morerestaurants that were the focus of my recent staycation in the West Hollywood/Beverly Grove area, the other was perennial favourite A.O.C. I was familiar with chef/owner (and James Beard Award winner) Sean Brock, having dined at two of his Husk restaurants (Charleston and Nashville), where he first gained fame and accolades. He is no longer affiliated with Husk or some other Nashville restaurants, but still has a pizza place there, so he is still bi-coastal. I can't say what drew him to SoCal, but is clearly enamored of our bountiful produce and purveyors, which he integrates into his "Heritage Southern", often live-fire, cooking. He's apparently quite a music lover also, hence the live DJ all-vinyl booth in the bar/lounge. Darling is on the northern end of Robertson between Melrose and Sunset. Many restaurants of note are nearby, including The Abbey, Craig's, SushiSamba. Many, including Darling, do not have valet parking, so that can be an endeavor you should allow time for. Darling is a pretty large, gorgeous and airy space, divided into an open-air-ish lounge/bar and a dining room towards the rear, which in turn is divided into 2 sections. The space used be the restaurant Soulmate, and looking at old pics still up on Yelp, it is clear many of the design features were repurposed for Darling, including the beautiful wood-beamed ceiling and booths in the dining room, the olive tree and retractable roof in the lounge, and the exterior. The impressive mural in the dining room appears new, as is the DJ booth. The weather was in the 90's during my visits, so the more A/C-controlled dining room was my choice for seating. Darling serves dinner Wed-Sat and brunch Sundays, so of course I had to try both. There's also a small Happy Hour menu Wed-Sat in the lounge/bar. Here's the lowdown: Dinner 1) Deviled eggs. A classic Southern snack, bougied up with bluefin tuna belly. Delish, with a slight kick, but just 2 per order. 2) Abalone and rice stew. Another winner (and smallish portion). Earthy, yet light, topped with a confit egg yolk. 3) The Darling dry-aged steak burger. Just 24 served per day. The stellar meat is a blend of 3 types of beef, mostly dry-aged prime, cooked over the live-fire grill. It was served simply with ketchup, cheese, raw onion and Dijonnaise , allowing the beef to shine. Served without accompaniments. 4) Sliced tomatoes with buttermilk dressing and tomato vine vinegar. A simple and refreshing taste of summer. 5) Blackberry sorbet Eton mess. Delish sorbet that was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Eton mess is whipped cream and meringue shards. The Texas deer skewers and Anson Mills cornbread were also of interest to me; another time. Brunch 1) Sonora wheat pancakes. Pretty classic, with crispy edges, fancy Maison Bordier butter and maple syrup. 2) 5-fat fried chicken. Also available on the Happy Hour menu. I was told the chicken was heavily spiced, but not heat-spicy. Its red-orange hue made me pause with fear, but it was exactly as described. The seasoning is quite chili powder-forward (Ancho chili?). The chicken is boneless thigh meat (my fave chicken part), just like the Spanish fried chicken at A.O.C. Served with a vinegary hot sauce (didn't use), honey (used it all) and an assortment of pickles. The 5 fats used are chicken fat, lard, country ham, bacon fat and smoked butter. Quite different from A.O.C.'s version; apples and oranges. Try them both. 3) Watermelon sorbet with Bonny melon and lemon verbena. Another sorbet winner, even more refreshing with the melon. Their cocktail and wine offerings seem pretty extensive. My zero-proof pineapple concoction was fine and delish; I had it at both meals. Service and staff was excellent and oh so friendly--hostess, servers, busboys, manager. I wish I remembered the names of my servers for shout-outs; their names didn't appear on my checks. Speaking of checks, you have the option of paying via QR code or with a traditional paper check and table-side hand-held gizmo. I did both and recommend the traditional method to avoid the $3.99 "Platform Fee" for using the QR code. Lastly, I found the music pleasant and mostly retro (the DJ usually puts the album currently spinning on display), but very loud. Guests were yelling in order to converse. Hope to return, and maybe see Chef Sean DJ-ing.

We got deviled eggs topped with tuna belly, which made a convincing case for deviled eggs without tuna belly. The steak burger was hearty, but the way it was seasoned and dressed was so vinegar forward that it made it hard to enjoy. The fries were great--chunky and crispy. However, the $24 cucumber salad was so awful I'm shocked they would serve it. First, there were genuinely 6 cucumber slices, so more like a leafy green salad with cucumbers and hardly a "cucumber salad." But even those 6 were wet and mushy, as though they'd been sitting in the fridge for too long. The fact that this dish made it through the garde manger, sous chef, head chef, and even the servers without anyone stopping it does not bode well for the longevity of this restaurant.

The wagyu unfortunately had an unpleasant meat smell (maybe not super fresh), and the spicy tuna crispy rice was nothing special - good but only worth ordering if you're really craving it. Our server told us the lemon pasta was very "lemon-forward," but it was not as tangy as I anticipated. If you're on the fence, staff will recommend dishes that pair well with the lemon pasta! We enjoyed it with our branzino because this palate was much more simple. For special events and celebrations, Ysabel will give you an enjoyable experience.

I did enjoy the fries though so I will say a nice crispy fry with a little bit of greenery on top was decent. Along with the Wagyu lacking, the steak tartar was also not a good idea. Maybe it was just an off night to have steak at this location, but I would definitely be weary of ordering. Even though the food was lacking it in a major way.

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.

Great balance of flavors without being overly sweet, and the presentation was on point. Pair that with the atmosphere and vibe at Laurel Hardware and it's the perfect place to grab a drink, especially if you're looking for somewhere that feels a little elevated but still fun.

    Laurel Hardware is always a good idea! This has been one of my go to spots for years, and I…read morehonestly don't know why I've never written a review. Service can definitely be hit or miss. I usually prefer sitting at the bar because the service tends to be better, but this time I came with a few friends so we grabbed a table. Our first interaction was a little off putting. As soon as we arrived, the host made it a point to tell us there was a strict 1.5 hour limit on the table, and the delivery was pretty stern. I completely understand restaurants having time limits, especially when they're busy, but the energy felt a little unwelcoming right from the start. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but it definitely wasn't the warmest welcome. That aside, I love the ambiance here, especially the outdoor area. The food is consistently solid. I absolutely love the shrimp scampi pasta, hamachi, and truffle fries, seriously some of the best truffle fries around. We tried the new pesto pizza this time and it was delicious! The short rib pasta was also a hit with lots of flavor. I enjoy pretty much all of their salads too and usually add chicken or shrimp. Unfortunately, the branzino was a miss. It was overcooked and had almost zero flavor, so we ended up sending it back. Our server was good overall, but service here typically moves pretty slowly and they sometimes seem understaffed. Water refills can take forever, and somehow the sparkling water bottles are always warm lol. It's also a little ironic being reminded so sternly about a 1.5 hour table limit when the service itself tends to move at a slower pace. Other than those little things, Laurel Hardware is still such a great spot. Good food, great outdoor ambiance, and an easy choice when you want dinner somewhere with a fun LA vibe. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Funny, because before…read moreI read this, my immediate reaction when I walked in the door this weekend was that it reminded me of some of the breezy upscale restaurants I grew up with at the Jersey Shore. And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

    I really wanted to love The Henry, but overall it was just okay. The restaurant itself has a nice…read moreatmosphere, but unfortunately the food didn't quite match the experience. We tried the pasta bolognese, mac & cheese, and filet with asparagus and a loaded potato. Everything looked fine, but for a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more in both presentation and flavor. The dishes were fairly basic and nothing really stood out or made me want to order it again. The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Not a bad meal by any means, but when you factor in the price and expectations, it just didn't deliver for me.
