This place is so good. I was a bit upset because the line was super long then after waiting for…read morenearly an hour to just put my name down they only had bar seating available and a table would've taken another 30 mins. They had like 6 bar seats available too so it was pretty irritating that you couldn't just walk in and find a seat at the bar. First I ordered fresh squeezed orange juice and it was the best I've had in years. I also ordered the Blackstone, which was the best eggs benny that I've ever had. This is my favorite brunch item and I've had it at just about every LA establishment. This one is truly up there. The bar area is a bit of a disaster. Dishes being cleaned by the same people making drinks. Dirty sponges. Freshly made drinks near used drinks. It's absolutely disgusting and couldn't possibly be up to code. Hopefully they find a better system. TIP: Free parking with validation

Edit to add: Hired Marmalade for my wedding catering and everyone raved about the food!! The staff…read morewas also so great with prep, setup, timing, transitions and serving/bartending! I used to go to the location on Montana back in the day, and this is my first time visiting their downtown SM location! Food, as I remember, was very delicious with great variety and care put in for each dish! The waiter was also extremely accommodating of my many allergies and would often ask the kitchen if the items I ordered were free from my allergens or modified it too! I do miss their cafe menu with the sandwiches and soup specials, but all of their food is just as great quality as I remember! The renovation is beautiful too, very trendy!

TLDR: Price to Quality, there are better options in Santa Monica…read more I ordered the Korean fried chicken bites, chorizo Benedict, and some coffee Coffee was okay but not great. A little on the watery side. Chicken bites came out in about 15 minutes. The coating had a very satisfying crunch, very saucy, but fell off the chicken easily and was a bit salty. This is a messy dish for sure. You will get your hands dirty! Chorizo Benedict came out about 30 minutes after order. Not great honestly. Portion size was generous. The eggs were poached decently, still runny, but the chorizo itself was bland and rather dry. The potatoes were room temperature. The bread a bit too chewy. Not AT ALL spicy. Super light on the pico de gallo. The service was rather slow for not being very busy. They didn't appear to be understaffed either. The location itself is cozy and not too loud, which is nice! Short walk from down town. The staff was kind, but boy were they slow. From being seated to paying for my meal was well over an hour! Automatic 2.5% "service fee" total was $46.50 before tip. I don't think I'll be returning unfortunately. The search for a good Benedict in LA area continues!

The iced coffee was refreshing and tasty, and the service was quick and simple. It was our first time, and we were given a run down of the full menu and the possible items to look out for considering a member of our party had a nut allergy. We also ordered the sausage and egg sandwiches, and they were very fresh and delicious. The vibe of the place was very calm and pleasant, and there were many locals present. Would definitely recommend.

The food…read moreitself was genuinely good -- I enjoyed what I ordered and would have happily returned if not for the service. Unfortunately, the host at the register, Denae, was extremely unpleasant. When I politely asked for eating utensils, she practically snarled at me. It was off-putting and made the whole visit feel unwelcome. As a first-time customer, that kind of attitude at the front of the house really stands out, and not in a good way. I don't expect perfection, but basic courtesy costs nothing. Good food can't make up for rude service that leaves a bad taste. I won't be returning.

It's a quaint cafe that blends hard industrial materials with lush greenery and easy lighting. I'm a plant lover so the trailing pothos vines wrapped around the ceiling above the counter instantly caught my attention. The space is edgy without feeling harsh, and on a Saturday morning it was peaceful and not overcrowded. With so many live plants, the space feels calm and grounding. I ordered the Orange + Maple latte with oat milk ---- a signature drink made with maple syrup, orange extract, and cocoa powder. The flavors are subtle and do not overwhelm the espresso. Overall, the vibe and espresso were perfect. I will definitely be back.

Our weekend stay would have been right around 3k. 0.00 with Amex free night stay plus points. What a deal! Not only that, we were upgrade to a quiet. Room 315. I suggest getting that room if you can. Great spacious room, with Amazing decor, great books, comfy beds and cold ax. What else could you ask for ? Tiramisu when you arrive? Yup, they did that too. Nestor and Josh are top notch professionals. They are doing a great job taking care of clients here. Everything was top notch. Very attentive and accommodating. Not sure how this place gets bad reviews. We really enjoyed our stay and will come back soon! Great property! 5 star experience!

This place is charming and we got sat indoors overlooking the pool. It really felt like I was in another city somewhere. The servers and hosts were very attentive and very helpful answering any questions. Everything everyone ate look absolutely fantastic. Drinks: sunset spritz was a wonderful spin on the classic aperol but it had Vodka in it so it gave it an extra kick, but did not taste boozy. I also had the cucumber marg and our server asked me if I would like some Jalapeno slices in it and it really elevated the whole experience. Apps: the PEI mussels were beautifully arranged and the curry sauce that it in was very flavorful. I highly recommend this as a starter. The steak tartar was a whole show, the server walked out with a glass case that was ultra smoky, which they opened in front of you. It was a dinner and a show!! The tartar was very delicious. If you're a tartar fan, you have to get this. Wedge salad deserves it's only paragraph! It was huge, the pecans were a nice touch. I am not a fan of blue cheese dressing but it was not at all over powering. It was absolutely incredible. Mains: we ordered the branzino and these short ribs and both were cooked to perfection. The branzino had a perfect char to the skin and the server recommended the short ribs with mashed potatoes versus what it comes with which was shave carrots. The majority of the food and drinks were on special that ended 6 p m. If you do go I highly recommend going before 6. You can also valet your car and it's also discounted if you're there 2 hours or less. I will absolutely be coming back for happy hour again. Maybe even brunch!
