My family and I were first-time visitors to this extremely popular and busy restaurant…read more By the end of our meal, we became fans. Located in the Encino Town Center, I am so happy that my daughter recommended this restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is large, with numerous well-stocked tables and many more tables located outside for patio dining. There also appeared to be a mid-sized banquet room off to one side, behind closed doors, which several guests were exiting to use the restrooms. The entire staff was very friendly, hard-working, and attentive to each of their assigned tables. The specialty here is the waffles; however, their menu is HUGE!!! It offers guests a variety of other food options, including pancakes, salads, omelets, crepes, and more. My family and I ordered Nutella crepes, peach waffles, frittata, and seasoned potatoes. Each item was DELICIOUS, fresh, and well prepared. We plan to return here soon to try other great-sounding options on the menu. This was a very positive dining experience.

On a Thursday in May, I had my mom bring a friend here, and they had a disappointing experience. I was told by my mom and my friend that they were still clearly in the middle of eating when they were brought a to-go box and the check, as if they were being rushed out. It felt abrupt and a bit rude, especially since they hadn't finished their meal yet. I understand the place can get busy even on weekdays, but that kind of service takes away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch experience.

This location in the valley has much easier parking and our server was very polite and friendly. Inside is also larger here and can host many different sized groups. It was very crowded when we stopped in for our Saturday brunch, but the tables turned pretty quickly. For this visit, I chose the Baja Benedict, which was a special which was basically an Eggs Benedict with avocado and pico de gallo on top. It was very good and eggs were cooked perfectly although I really wish they would have chorizo. We also ordered some of the strawberry Red Velvet pancakes and thought they were a great sweet treat. Overall, this is a nice option and I would recommend if you're searching for some breakfast.

My significant other and I had such a great time recently at VIP Café! It was our first time…read morevisiting, although we've known about the restaurant, and that Coach John Wooden dined here, for a long time. I had an appointment in the neighborhood, so we decided to stop by afterward. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted right away and made to feel like we were regulars. We got to pick our own table and once we did, someone stopped by right away to give us menus and take our drink orders. The menu is big and we let our server know it was our first time visiting. There is so much to choose from, so we needed a couple of minutes to see all the options. It was finally between a couple of things for us, and we asked for recommendations. I was told that the hollandaise sauce on the benedicts was really good, and I decided to go with the Irish Benedict, which had corned beef hash. It was delicious and the poached eggs were perfectly cooked! The home fries were so good...crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I loved the various memorabilia on the walls, especially everything related to Coach John Wooden. Several years ago, I had a chance to meet Coach, and he holds a special place in my heart. The overall vibe at the restaurant was friendly and welcoming. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was top-notch coffee shop cuisine. We loved meeting Paul, who was very kind. I would love to go back and try some of the lunch and Chinese options. We had parked on the street but were told that they validate in the parking area behind the restaurant. We'll keep that in mind for our next visit.

Food was ok eggs cooked perfectly Hash browns were normal nothing special. Bacon was old and WAY over cooked if it was real bacon not sure. Toast was toast nothing special. So I would say a below average cafe meal. Picture Dennys but Dennys is better. Service was ok. He brought coffee and we never saw him again until the very end. He didn't offer a Togo coffee. Food came right out we had to go to the counter to get our bill. Here is the kicker the meal was 23 dollars 28 with tip. 23 dollars for eggs bacon and toast. I know prices have went up but come on. I can make this in my kitchen for about 2 dollars. So 10 dollars maybe 15 maybe. Well I looked around and there were about 6 people in the place. So don't be surprised when you see the doors closed.

The power went out due to a transform catching fire. It shut down part of the city in Tarzana. Bonnie the lead hostess went above and beyond her duties!

She and the crew felt badly for their customers and so they did their best for customers under the situation of no electricity! Outstanding service!

The service from sitting down to leaving was exceptional and welcoming as our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the Bee Eggs Benedict which was packed with flavor. The serving was adequate and what I think sets it apart from other eggs Benedict's I've had is that they kept this simple. Some versions have so much going on and the flavors contrast each other leading more to a mush. This version is much more direct so that the flavor from the sauce, eggs, protein and potatoes was highly noticeable. My friend ordered the panwhich which is a play on a pancake sandwich that that serving was huge haha. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and optimal for small or large parties. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a solid weekend breakfast/brunch joint in the Valley. Little bit of a small parking lot but overall, the service and the stellar food are enough for me to make a return visit!
