This review is strictly about the chilaquiles rojos. With a name like Garcia bros, I was expecting…read morethese to taste way better. Sauce: tasted like canned tomato sauce attempted to be dressed up but was poorly executed. Chips: soggy Cheese: Cotija would've been a better choice, queso fresco didn't help the blandness. Onion: raw thick slices of purple onion, thinly sliced pickled onion would've tasted better. Flavor: where's the salt?? These tasted odd yet bland. Price: roughly $18 with just eggs on top. I'll stick to my usual go to spot that tastes way better and is less expensive. Rating: 3/10 I also had their iced chai latte which was a 10/10 however I ended up getting chorro a few hours later so take with that what you will. I am always hopeful in finding a good Mexican brunch spot but this was a huge miss for me.

Could mix vegan and non vegan ingredients based on likes and dislikes, which was great! Today's order, however, was totally underwhelming. I'm not sure how everything I loved so completely ended up being pretty much tasteless, but it was. Breakfast Burrito was blah. Was basically dry and bland. Changed the cheese to vegan - not sure ANY cheese made it onto the burrito...Barely any guacamole. Barely any breakfast potatoes. The chipotle mayo was the only thing that had flavor. Without it, the burrito would have been inedible. And the Piña Coconut Delight was NOT a delight. How can you mix actual pineapple chunks and coconut and make it boring? Not sure, but they did! Wow. Just BAD. It took over an hour and a half, so was starving enough to eat some. Guess I cross this one off my list though... So disappointed and sad...

My friend & I have gone through a lot of the menu over the years, and everything is so, so good! Breakfast & lunch only. Organic. *Organic coffee *Biscuits and gravy *English Butty *Lavender lemonade *Tuna melt *Great pastries Always very pleasant service. Nice, farmhouse decor. The main dining room has air con- the outer dining rooms do not. I work close by, but they close around 3pm on weekdays, so it's hard for me to get here by then. Lately, I have been loving that tuna melt on sourdough with a side salad and that iconic lavender lemonade. Parking is a bit difficult, they have a tiny front lot with only a few spaces shared with other businesses. I usually park on the street. I've heard they have another lot in the "back" but I've never had to go find that. I do love the Humble Bee!!!

Went with a friend for breakfast. We both had water for beverages, I added a coffee. Delish. I had…read morethe eggs Benedict with sausage and salad. Friend had ham and egg omelette with potatoes. His omelette looked really good and nicely plated. I saw it having large cubes of ham, with a French folded omelette as he cut into it. This is where I focus on my dish though and I'm a plating nut! The Benedict sauce beautifully draped over the poached eggs. I could have gone with just another 30 seconds on the eggs, as I do like a thicker ooze of yolk, but I'm not complaining. The muffin was tasty and chewy, nicely made. The sausage was perfectly salted and added a nice richness to the entire bite. The salad. This salad was pickled cabbage in beet juice. Shredded carrot, wild lettuce and a side of balsamic dressing. It didn't need the dressing. I drizzled a tiny amount but barely a teaspoon. The entire eggs Benedict with salad is a definite crave-able breakfast dish. The service was very nice.

The location at 7333 Fulton Ave in North Hollywood only has two tables. The service is wonderful! But it's essentially a kitchen in a building with many other restaurants.

Had breakfast for lunch at Nat's, and was very glad I made that choice. This old-timey coffee shop…read morein Van Nuys has been a steady presence in the area for decades, famous for house-made muffins and jams, and really high quality diner fare served by a friendly, warm and welcoming staff. The decor is exactly what you'd expect (and exactly what you want) from a neighborhood coffee shop: formica tables, padded chairs and booths, aging photos on the walls, and lively music playing on the radio. It was bustling at lunchtime on a Thursday, but not crazy busy (as on many weekend mornings), so I was seated immediately. The menu boasts a fairly large selection of options, from the usual breakfast items to sandwiches and burgers, daily specials, and those aforementioned muffins (which you can get instead of toast with your breakfast if you like). Today, I opted for their Spicy Louisiana Hot Link with eggs, grits and toast. It was a very generous portion of food for $16.95, and I appreciate how they've manage to keep their prices reasonable. The eggs were a proper over-medium, and the grits were both hot and creamy. The side of butter melted easily into the porridge, which, when salted and peppered, made for a satisfying and savory bite. The sausage was split and grilled, showing off a nice char; they were spicy, as advertised, but not overly powerful, and they paired very well with the warm, creamy egg yolk. Rye toast was full of caraway flavor, and really shone when topped with butter and a generous slather of Nat's house-made Apricot Jam (packed with fruit flavor without being too sweet). Yes, Nat's remains a solid, satisfying spot for breakfast and lunch. And though parking can sometimes be a challenge, I find the food is well worth the effort.

This is now my favorite breakfast spot!…read more Took a flyer on a Mighty Meat Savory Crepe and I am so glad I did! Eggs, sausage, ham and bacon all in their super thin cozy sleeping bag of a crepe. Country potatoes were flavorful and slightly burnt just how I like them. Single pancake with melted butter was soo thick! More than that, the service was TOP TIER! Idk how many coffee and water refills I agreed to but I appreciate the staff being so on top of it! Came on a Friday before 10:00AM and there's no wait. Started to pick up just as we were wrapping up.

It's on van nuys blvd so there is parking in the back which is nice. The food was good and the portions were big but I asked for ketchup and syrup and it took a while to get.

If I was in the area again I would come back to try something new.

I have been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and after today's experience, I am seriously…read morereconsidering ever coming back. We arrived, checked in, and waited our turn while carrying a baby. Then another group that arrived after us was seated first. I personally heard them say they did not have a reservation. When I questioned the young employee about why they were seated ahead of us, she told me they did have a reservation. That is completely unacceptable. Being skipped is already frustrating, but being given an explanation that directly contradicts what I personally heard makes the situation even worse. Customers should not be treated as if they are stupid or expected to simply accept whatever excuse they are given. If this restaurant has a waiting list, then respect it. If certain customers are going to receive preferential treatment, then at least be honest about it. There is absolutely no reason for a loyal customer, especially one waiting with a baby, to be treated this way. I have recommended this restaurant to many people in the past, but I will no longer be doing that after today. A business can have good food, but dishonest and unfair customer service can completely ruin the experience. Management should take this seriously. You do not build customer loyalty by allowing staff to skip people, give preferential treatment, and then provide questionable explanations when customers speak up. This was disrespectful, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing.

The Garden Cafe is a charming retreat in the heart of Sherman Oaks. The menu is widely varied, with…read morefood that is fresh, delicious and the portions generous. They serve omelettes, sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, pastas, grilled salmon and PERFECT individual pizzas (that are still large enough to share). Even though you order at the register and the wait staff delivers to your table, the service is outstanding (even to your doggies!). Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful and attentive. The garden atmosphere is lovely. You dine under a trellis of fairy lights and bougainvillea. And on certain evenings and lunch times, they have wonderful musicians provide soft background music. They also have an interior space which is nice as well (and air conditioned), but the real charm is the garden, where my maltipoo, Bella, is always spoiled (she especially loves the fries). Parking can be challenging, so, I recommend going just before or just after the breakfast, lunch or dinner rush. I live in the neighborhood, but I have friends who drive from DTLA, Hollywood , West L.A. and even farther away to meet me there just for coffee (try the Vanilla Latte - yum), a lavender lemonade or a glass of wine and a plate of chicken wings (cooled in different styles). The owners and their family work there, too, and always make me, my dog and my friends feel so welcomed and special. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Had a great brunch experience at Blu Jam Cafe in Sherman Oaks…read more We started with the Lemon Crepes as a little taster for the table. They were light, sweet, and a nice way to start the meal without committing to a full sweet breakfast. For my main meal, I had the Steak Hash, which was really good. The combination of beef tenderloin, potatoes, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, Gorgonzola, and hollandaise made it hearty and flavorful. We also had the Crunchy French Toast, and that was amazing. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal and something I would order again. What made the experience even better was the owner. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made you feel like he genuinely appreciated you being there. That kind of hospitality always stands out. Great food, warm atmosphere, and an owner who makes you feel welcome. I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area.

I understand using a QR code to place your order. It's not my preferred dining experience, but I…read morecan accept that's how the restaurant operates. What bothers me is being asked to choose a tip before I've received the service. I'm given options like 10%, 15%, 18%, or 20%--but how am I supposed to know what level of service deserves 10% versus 20% when the service hasn't happened yet? If I choose 10% and the service is excellent, I may feel like I should have tipped more. If I choose 20% and the service is poor, I feel like I've overpaid. Ironically, this system makes me more likely to choose a conservative tip every time. I'd much rather have the option to tip after the service is provided, when I can actually evaluate the experience. My recommendation: keep the QR ordering if you want, but move the tipping option to the end of the meal, after the service has been provided. That would make tipping feel more fair and meaningful.

The plush loveseats and faint music are enough to put you to sleep after dinner. That being said dinner was magical not only is their tomato soup an excellent match with their garlic broccolini flat bread but the scallops were very well done and have an amazing flavor. The 8ounce steak was ordered medium rare and was extremely tender and flavorful the tagliatelle bolognese was creamy and came with great fresh herbs on top. The drinks were also amazing the blackberry mocktail and especially the blackberry vodka cocktail that cocktail is enough to have you swimming in the hotel pool. Overall very satisfied with the food, drink and especially the aesthetic of the restaurant. Much love to our wonderful staff that night for the sorbets on our anniversary dinner. Many thanks.
