Brisket sandwich with mac salad
Mia G.

Cool deli. Food was good but pricey (LA prices). Bit of a wait but I mean what can you expect from a restaurant on Father's Day. Nice seating on the outside. Great people watching.

Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray Soda. The best!
Evan W.

Nate & Al's has been around a long time, dodged a near-closing during Covid, and remains a favorite among the Beverly Hills folk who may not know better or may have forgotten what a truly good deli is. Oh, it presents as a textbook Jewish deli of old, with traditional brown booths and paneled dividers, dark Formica tables, and a menu featuring the greatest hits of deli dining. But the food here is overpriced and underwhelming, like so many of the other delis around town these days. The staff is nice, for sure. They welcome you with smiles, seat you quickly, and immediately offer you drinks. Everything is clean and well-preserved, so you feel like you're in for a great meal. I ordered my usual: Pastrami on Rye, Russian Dressing on the side, with Potato Salad. To drink: Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, the very best soda for cutting through the richness of deli meat. The sandwich came promptly, and looked quite nice. The portion was appropriate for a normal sandwich (as opposed to being ridiculously stuffed), and the pastrami was nicely marbled. But looks can be deceiving. The bread was a bit too dense -- possibly made that way, or possibly a touch stale. Either way, after 2 bites I abandoned the bread and just ate the meat. The pastrami, while juicy with a soft texture, lacked flavor. I believe they bring their meat in from a purveyor, and the lack of inspiration is evident. Potato salad was also generously portioned, but had far too much mustard, and the result is a side dish that feels more Southern Picnic than Lower East Side. Again, this is a Deli serving a so-so sandwich at a price nearly the same as Katz's in NYC, and it's a shame. It's just not worth it. I've come to find that the best pastrami in Los Angeles is being served at places Johnny's in West Adams or on special at BBQ places, and usually at 2/3's the price. When it comes to Nate & Al's, I wouldn't say never go, but I wouldn't expect much bang for your buck -- or in the case of the pastrami sandwich, your 27-bucks.

Breakfast menu
Flor M.

Conveniently located near UCLA, came here for early dinner with my baby Bruin. This place is a foodies paradise. Breakfast options are served all day, which is perfect for me because who likes the flexibility of ordering a lox bagel anytime the craving hits. Also a lot of delicious options for pastries, pies, and treats. I love that this place gives you a pickle plate. My favorite were the pickle chips. I could eat those all day. I ordered a matzo ball soup with chicken and bagel chips. Definitely amazing and the perfect dinner that leaves your belly warm on a cold winter day. The service here is excellent, prices are reasonable, portions are big, plenty of seating options, and parking is nearby at the parking garage. Highly recommend the coffee cake. Definitely hits the spot paired with coffee. I also ordered sliced rye bread to go. I definitely recommend ordered 1/2 a loaf unless you have a big family or a gathered then order the whole loaf. Also recommend putting it in the fridge if you need it to last longer. Overall, this place is amazing and I look forward to my next visit!

Matzo Ball Soup
Patrick L.

Had Saturday lunch with my UCLA-student son. What a fun spot! We were seated quickly, though it was busy. We have been checking off old-school Jewish-style delis around the greater LA area, so Nate'n Al's was a natural choice. Normally, I get a pastrami sandwich, but my wife wanted to share a sandwich and you guessed it--turkey. Don't get me wrong, it was a good turkey sandwich, but not a pastrami sandwich. My son ordered the pastrami, and it was excellent. I shared the matzo ball soup with my wife, which was very good. The pickle platter on the table was a nice touch, and the shoestring fries on the side were a winner. I thought the service was quite good, especially for such a busy place. Next time, I am going straight for the pastrami. Love Nate'n Al's. 5 stars.

Anthony K.

Iconic classic deli. The staff is friendly, the kind that somehow knows your order before you even open the menu. Pastrami on rye? Always solid. Matzo ball soup with bagel chips? Mandatory. The outside patio is perfect for people watching, and their bagels, lox, whitefish, and all the deli goodies are fresh and ready for breakfast, whether you're solo or with friends.

Chris R.

Excellent! I got the "New York", which is Pastrami, Cole Slaw, and Russian dressing on Rye, with some potato salad. I can't say enough good about this!! Great pastrami, great rye, and the potato salad was on point for sure (not something you can say very often). I'll be back!!

Chicken pot pie pockets
Lea W.

You can never go wrong with an old school deli that serves the classics with a smile. When you walk in, the dining room decor immediately transports you to another time...the pristine wood paneling and vinyl upholstery are a throwback to when menus weren't fussy and the food was fabulous. We shared potato latkes and chicken pot pie pockets and our server, Daniel, immediately advised us that the pot pie pockets would "take a little longer. Is that okay??" You'd better believe it was okay, because those babies were flaming hot and tasted amazing. The potato latkes were perfectly crisp on the outside and so, so good. Great food is definitely worth waiting for! 10/10 definitely recommend!

Our food was delicious! We had (of course!) matzoh ball soup, chicken noodle soup, chopped liver sandwich, roast beef sandwich, chicken pot pie and Nova salmon on bagel with the works .. followed by rugelah, chocolate cream pie, banana cream pie and the black/white cookie. SOOO delicious. We were seated pretty quickly on a packed Christmas Day and our meals came in a very timely manner. Our server was Deborah... very nice and professional. Even though she was at the end of her shift on a VERY busy day she maintained her cool and total service to our table. Very clean with a dedicated staff. We had a worthy experience which is deserving of a 5 star review.

Potato Latkes, Whitefish Salad, pickles
Caroline D.

Great spot for lunch! It has a fun nostalgic vibe and a menu full of deli classics. Love their latkes, soups, and whitefish salad. Easy to get in and out too.

Monica R.

The tradition deli in the hart of Rodeo Drive. You can find a good place to eat and not pay a fortune. The food is the delicious and comfort meal, nice service, and ambience is the family place , you can see the customers know each other. My family from Arkansas enjoyed it. After, you can visit The Brainwashed museum.

The deli is always great. It's expensive but what deli isn't... The service was great and this food was equally fantastic.

Gabby S.

Amazing food, quick service, and a perfect deli! Loved our server! We were immediately sat down and given menus! Got multiple refills on drinks!

Quintessential NY deli meets Beverly Hills. My go to breakfast spot in west LA. They really do it as well as any spot on the Lower East Side. Bravo!

For food I tried the avocado toast and smoked salmon bagel. Presentation is just as good as it tasted. They do not skimp on the avocado and load it up.

I have not heard one bad thing about their food. If you are thinking about getting a breakfast burrito, please go with the Dialog breakfast burrito. The egg is so fluffy, the sausage is thick and tasty, and the spicy ketchup gives it a kick of heat. You can also help yourself to an unlimited amount of aji verde and chiptotle aioli sauce! I really enjoyed both options on the burrito. Their beverages all look delicious. My friend tried the Wake N Date and described it to be a perfect balance of sweetness. It was filling but did not leave her bloated after. The protein also did not have a weird aftertaste like others may have. I had the triple cin latte and I could not get over how delicious and creamy this was. Parking can be tricky because it's West Hollywood (metered parking). They have indoor and outdoor seating - pet friendly. I will be back soon!!

I ordered an iced oat milk chai latte which was quite tasty with the right amount of cinnamon. I also ordered the avocado toast as my main entree and it was filling. The service was nice. The staff are very sweet and patient. However, I was unpleasantly surprised and disappointed when we received the check. On the check, we got an additional fee of $42.20 for "large party service charge." Our "large party" was only 6 people. My concern is that there is no written policy that says that large parties will get charged. We would have not chosen to eat here if we knew that there is an additional charge due to the fact that we are a group of 6 people. What if it was a family of 6? Please fix this issue!

After driving by several times, I finally had the opportunity to stop on in. Parking is metered street, and I was lucky to find a spot right across the way around 10:30a during the week. As you walk in, the host stand is at the end and there is seating to your left. My friend was already seated here, so I just walked on in to table. A nice waitress came over shortly thereafter, and I ordered a cocoa with oatmilk (small). This 'small' was served in a glass, whereas a large would be in a typical mug you would expect. As for the drink, it was pretty good. As we caught up, I perused the menu and decided on a side of tater tots and for the first time in my life, I ordered banana bread which I was told was the closest thing to a breakfast pastry, while he went with a chickpea scramble (no bread). I don't feel it took too long for the food to arrive since we were catching up and enjoying our drinks. The restaurant was getting busier around this time as well. The banana bread had Maldon sea salt and honeycomb butter. This wasn't bad at all; I just never really had this before but I did finish it (got the remainder of it to go for later). The tater tots were just tater tots, nothing special but a larger portion which would be great for sharing alongside a side of ketchup. Service was welcoming, the space is nice, restrooms are two separate ones for all genders. Other guests that sat near us were friendly as well which made for an all-around pleasant experience. No photos taken since I was actually enjoying the company I was in. There were a few choices I was given today to meet up, and I'm glad I chose this one. Would be willing to try pizza or their pasta dishes on a future (later) visit. Note: I did see quite a few cops in the area, so I don't know if they are nabbing people for jaywalking or something else, so just be aware-

The interior is like a greenhouse. Shades of greens and taupe/beige tones throughout. Aesthetically pleasing for all your Instagram and other social media content. The hostess must be in a (bad) mood on Friday, May 22 because she tossed/threw the menus on our table when we wanted to sit in a specific table. Wonder what her issue was? My husband ordered the Surfer's Burrito ($18.50) and I got the OG Avocado Toast ($18). Additional $4.00 to add impossible sausage to the burrito. Food was good, nice and flavorful but definitely overpriced. $18 for a small ol avocado toast and at $18.50 for a burrito, you would think there's at least some kind of protein in it. They have an extensive cocktail list as well as mocktails and all kinds of juices available. I thought the Daughter Water ($9.00) sounded pretty refreshing. It's a cold pressed spritz with soda water, mint and your choice of juice. I decided on the water flower option with watermelon, fennel, honeydew, lime and lavender. Like everywhere in WeHo, metered parking on the streets so good luck with that. Minus one star for the menu being tossed at us and minus another star for the price to food portion.

A friend who's a Soho House member took me there for lunch yesterday. I hadn't been back in a few…read moreyears, and I'd forgotten both the incredible views and how easy it is to spend an afternoon there. We walked in expecting a quiet lunch and quickly realized the World Cup was on. The screening room was packed with members watching the match, and it was fun seeing everyone so invested in the game. Since we wanted to catch up, we headed to the garden patio instead. There were plenty of people enjoying lunch outside, though it never felt loud. We never had to raise our voices to hear each other, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the afternoon. Our server was fantastic. She checked on us throughout the meal, kept our drinks refreshed, and always seemed to know when to stop by and when to give us space. We never felt rushed, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. We started with the calamari to share. I ordered the Faroe Island king salmon with sautéed spinach and chimichurri, and my friend had the chopped salad. The salmon had a beautiful sear and was cooked perfectly, while the chimichurri added just the right amount of brightness. We each ordered the cucumber cocktail, mine with vodka and his with gin. It was crisp, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted on such a hot afternoon. It paired especially well with the salmon. One detail I really appreciate about Soho House is its no-photo policy. After spending a few hours there, it made perfect sense. Around us, people were catching up with friends, having meetings, enjoying lunch, or watching the match without phones constantly pointed around the room. It made the entire space feel more relaxed, and I found myself appreciating being somewhere that encouraged people to be present with each other. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. We were able to settle in, enjoy a great meal, and spend a few hours catching up without ever feeling like our table was needed for the next reservation. By the time we left, I completely understood why so many people enjoy being members. One last detail worth mentioning is valet. The attendants were friendly, professional, and efficient. It's a small touch, but it made arriving and leaving effortless.

Cons: limited menu, limited wine list and it's a members only spot. For being members only exclusive dues I expected a bit more upscale food and bevvys. If I had to pay for the membership this would not be my spot, it doesn't live up to the price. It's nice enough but it's not that different than visiting a nice restaurant. I'd go again if I was invited but you won't find me dishing out to become a member here. Show me something more than views of LA in a "nice setting." Give me something standout for the $4k!

We had that experience here. The only let down we had was with some of the food. The salad and the Club sandwich were great. The wagyu burger could have used seasoning- it felt like the meat itself was not the star of the dish, but only a texture. Its flavor was not brought out. Moreover, the fries were over seasoned and felt quite salty even without any dipping sauce. I enjoy my fries with ranch but the fries were too strong for ranch and it was overpowering. The cheese for the pretzel bites were also lacking in flavor. Lastly the pot stickers could have used a bit more filling because they were literally quite flat. Therefore, it's a 4/5 for me.
