    Iced Banana Almond Latte
    Yumi T.

    I love this place. It is in a closed company campus, though if one really wanted they could enter and pay for parking. Their breakfast burritos are my favorite! They are a bit on the pricier side but it's always worth it. They're friendly, know their regulars, and have excellent service. The coffee shop is typically empty because it's serving employees on campus, but it's a very cute shop to sit and chat.

    6" Breakfast Burrito (scrambled eggs, Spanish chorizo, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, country potatoes)

    [Review #338] 2018 Yelp 100 Challenge (110/100) MKRT at the Reserve is a convenient cafe located on The Reserve. You pay a tad more for the convenience with the portions ranging from decent to slightly skimpy; I heard the coffee is really good here. Sometimes when I miss breakfast at home or want something other than cereal (that's available at work), I would pick-up their Breakfast Burrito (scrambled eggs, sofrito, Spanish chorizo, hash browns, cheddar cheese, tomatillo salsa). It's a good & tasty burrito if a tad skimpy... there's more tortilla than filling. I'm told by the locals that they used to be bigger (bigger tortilla, more filling). :-| It would be nice if MRKT offers a choice of protein (i.e. turkey, bacon, ham, tofu, etc.). I like their Albacore Tuna Salad Sandwich (citrus, fennel, red onion, tomato, avocado, mixed greens on 7 grain bread), but could do without the bread. I'm glad they could accommodate & make it protein-style so I could enjoy it as a salad with some citrus vinaigrette. :-) With plenty of large windows & open space, there's lots of natural light to enjoy eating indoors (though seats are limited), & there's a lot of picnic benches outside if you prefer some fresh air. Service is friendly but not always quick, depending on your order time. Morning & lunch rush tends to have the longest wait times; you can order online but sometimes the system is spotty & you can't get connected. MRKT offers a weekly specials menu such as Special Bowl: French Green Beans, Almonds, Sage, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Pesto Sauce, Parsley, Radish & Chive Salad; or Bolognese Penne: Ground Beef, Pecorino Cheese & Fresh Basil; or Special Bowl: Grilled Chicken, Mashed Yams, Braised Beans & Greens, Corn, Crispy Onions, BBQ Sauce. Something to look forward to since they have a limited breakfast & lunch menu. MRKT at The Reserve is simply here when you're short on time & want some easy sustenance. If you're done with the tried & tried again, check out their weekly special, it's definitely worth a try!

    The most perfect chia seed pudding with homemade muesli ever. I'm in love.

    Perfect. I love this little cafe. It's bright, welcoming and the lattes never let you down. Plus, can we just have a minute to think about their perfect acai bowls? Cause honey, it doesn't get much better than that.

    $10.50 for these small tacos? .... sigh...

    I wish I can rate higher because the girls working there are very nice but unfortunately, the food is just okay for the price. I had a rock in my breakfast egg bowl, then a few months later I had plastic in the same dish. The guy at the store told me its the vendor who washes the greens so they are not at fault, but I think the cooks should be responsible for the final rinse before blindly throwing them into a customer's bowl (especially if they already got a rock in a customer's dish, you would think they learn the lesson and make sure I don't end up with plastic the next time -_- ). When I ordered the quesadilla around 2:30PM, I guess they didn't have much ingredients left since my order came out half the size of the usual with just a small squirt of sour cream on it. As you can see, I gave them 8 tries and 3 came out wrong. Thus, 2/5 stars since I can't rate it 1.9 stars. Sigh...

For snacks, we shared: Thai Chicken Katsu - it was nicely breaded and not overly fried with a refreshing side salad Crispy Rice Salad - very flavorful with great textures with the crispy rice Cinco Chuchito - it was good Brussel sprouts - really heavy on seasonings I was not prepared for all the heavy flavors and it wasn't bad but it was a lot. The service was nice. We came here because all of the locations we wanted to try were really booked with long waits. I was surprised there was no wait or not many people here on such a busy night. Glad we got to try it and cross of the list. The décor here is also really interesting with an open kitchen and patio. Also, speaking of open kitchen, there's a 3% charge on the food that's call Kitchen Love. Not sure if that's the standard at restaurants in the area or if it's on the menu but that can definitely rack up with a full dinner with friends. As for parking, there's meters if you're lucky to snag a spot or there's plenty of parking structures in the area.

    It's an incredibly polarizing restaurant - you'll either love it or hate it, and I was lucky that I…read moreloved it. Not every dish works (some of the desserts were disappointing) but quite a lot works well, and the experience is so unique that even a fine dining veteran like me was impressed. Plating here is among the best in the country. And the restaurant aims to impress all of your senses. Hospitality is flawless, as you'd expect from a place striving for a third star. The building itself is incredible, as iconic as the bucolic TFL setting or the industrial-chic look of EMP. Highlights for me included a perfect scallop dish, some deep-sea prawns, a dark custard, and the quail (a unique twist on a pretty common fine dining dish). The add-ons weren't necessary - I do hate the upsell of add-ons at tasting menu places. The NA pairings matched perfectly with the dishes; it's an excellent option, and I suspect more fun than the wine pairings. Desserts were average for me, but I'm not a sweets person, and I don't like dairy. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets its long-desired third star some day. It's definitely a unique experience worth checking out.

    There's not much more to say about Vespertine that hasn't already been said, but It is true that a…read morenight at Vespertine lives up to the storied legends surrounding it. Photos and descriptions of the courses and space simply cannot convey the immaculate flow of the evening (and better left unspoiled), so I'll just note my highlights. Half of what you're paying for is the service, and all the staff we interacted with were extremely knowledgable about ingredients and techniques, and noticed that my partner was left handed almost immediately and adjusted accordingly. The highlight of the standard menu was the morels stuffed with quail (served alongside, you guessed it, quail), drizzled with concentrated birch sap. We were left puzzled as to why we as a society are not consuming more birch sap! The caviar supplement is simply the best caviar course in all of LA, with a generous helping of golden osetra caviar hidden beneath a white asparagus forest. The wagyu supplement was a welcome swap for the lamb course, a very expensive swap, but worth it for the generous portion of A5 seared beautifully. Fine dining sometimes leaves you wondering if the price is commensurate to the experience you are getting, but at Vespertine the answer is a clear and resounding yes.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is spacious, never squeezed into your neighbors, and transportive. We enjoy not being right up next to someone.
