I've been at Amor A Mi a few times for lunch and being gluten free I was afraid they couldn't accommodate but my plate came out not only looking beautiful but gluten free with a black corn tortilla that was delicious! I am so appreciative. I do wish they had gf bread and maybe yellow polenta but I'm thrilled to be able to eat here. Every sauce has its own unique flavor, and every item feels like it's been prepared carefully and thoughtfully. I feel like this chef had watched a The Bear a few times. :)

I didn't know that drinks and pastries will be served so I ordered a mango matcha and enjoyed a croissant that's already in the table when we arrived. The young lady in the counter was very friendly. She even went to check on us in the back if we needed anything. I even asked for her name but my old brain forgot.

The batter and crunch on the fried chicken waffle sandwich was incredible. Very smart concept. Hands down the best chicken-to-waffle bite ratio in the game. I liked this place. Great cheat meal.

We've been on the lookout for a new contender for a while and think we found one! Ordering was simple - go to their website (https://breadandbreakfastla.com), hit order now, select a location (Burbank or North Hollywood) and order to your heart's desire. We went up to the front and let them know the name we placed the order under and off we went. My wife and I opted to try their Bacon & Sausage Burrito and Veggie Burrito. Both had a hefty weight to them and were delicious. What added to the deliciousness was their house-made salsa and crema. If you love heat, their salsa is on point! Add the crema and you've been transported to another world. Staff was super nice and had our order ready when promised. Since this is in the same parking lot as Circus Liquor, we stopped in to grab some snacks and drinks for later too. Great all around!

Tickets: You can pre-purchase tickets on Eventbrite Food: We had brunch so you really can't go wrong with breakfast food, however, the food was yummy. Especially the cinnamon rolls. The bottomless mimosa is worth it if you have a few people with you. Service: Now I'm going to assume service was a bit slow b/c of the drag show being packed however, we had a great server! Ambiance: When you walk into the Idle Hour, you're immediately transported into a dark brewery. So cool. Plenty of space for groups. Parking: street parking, not sure if they have a lot behind the venue. So Go, Enjoy & have a Drag-tastic time!!

This place deserves all of the stars. I have become a regular here because of the amazing people…read morewho work here, the fantastic food, great drinks, cool vibe, good music, drag brunch, and themed events. The people who work here: all kind and helpful and on top of their stuff. This place gets really packed sometimes but even in the chaos, when customers are rude and drunk and break things they keep their cool, always. But don't treat them poorly. I will come for you. Chard is the GM and he is one of the kindest and most generous humans I have had the pleasure of know and is the mastermind behind getting the themed nights up and going. His ability to make a person feel welcome is pretty much unmatched in my opinion. The food: omg you guys the FOOD!!!! It's so good. They just changed the menu so I haven't gotten to try everything yet but the chicken dumplings are delicious. A bit of a kick but the best kind. The chili cheese fries that my friend had were also so good. Perfect cheese to chili ratio with the fries. There is a chef in the back who is passionate about food and making sure it tastes perfect so I trust everything is good. But if you are unsure ask the servers or bartenders. They won't steer you wrong. The drinks: admittedly, I mostly drink just screwball on the rocks. However every mixed cocktail I have had here has been perfection. Mark is the manager and he could be a mixologist, should be a mixologist, super nice guy who is shockingly good and remembering peoples drink preferences. Like a year ago was the last time I ordered cider and he remembered! The vibe: I wouldn't really call this place a dive bar, but it's sort of got a hint of dive bar going on. The back patio is really nice during the summer but sitting inside the barrel is fun too. The bulldog is kinda small so you won't fit a ton of people in there but it's still fun. Lots of places to sit although sometimes it does get packed and it's standing room only. Not to mention, they allow dogs!!! This is a great place to come with a first date. It's good for dressing up a little but not too much and there are some corners you can sit in so you can have a little closeness. But the staff will also keep an eye out for you. If you are feeling uncomfortable in any way, they will keep an eye out for you and help you out. There isn't a designated dance floor but they won't be mad if you dance in the area that you've got available to you. Just don't accidentally knock anything over or hit anybody. The music: Chard is usually in charge of the play list but even when he isn't the music is usually pretty great and there's a band that comes and plays on Sundays for a while in the afternoon/evening. I have found some of my new favorite music because of this place. Drag brunch: I've never actually attended because I've heard it gets a little crazy and that can be a little scary overwhelming for me, but they do it everyday Saturday and Sunday and that's been going strong for a pretty long time so I have to assume it's a good time. The themed events: this is the kind of crazy I can handle though. They have done lots of the rings, zelda anniversary, a Star Wars themed singles event for Valentine's Day, a scholastic book fair, and Easter egg hunt, their Halloween and New Year's Eve events were AMAZING, I could go on and on. People turn up for these events and they are just some of the most fun especially with the costumes you will see. Go to Idle Hour. I've never loved a bar before. This place is something else. I promise you won't be disappointed, unless you're one of those kinds of people who finds something wrong no matter how amazing the place is or you're kind of an entitled jerk.

Came here today and it has possibly been about 10 years since I was here last!!…read more I remember when this place was so hard to get seated at! Back then, I was obsessed with the killing me softly French toast. They recently did some work and got new awnings and everything just looked so bright and fresh. We were seated so fast and the service was great! Something I wish I had known before coming was that they have a small dog menu! Egg dipped bread, beef patties, or chicken specially for the furry friends! I got a meat and egg menu item and my boyfriend got the breakfast burrito. The food was good and we were happy with it and the service! Cute spot worth checking out for a standard breakfast!

The food continues to be outstanding. I ordered the Eggs Benedict again, sat on the outdoor patio…read moreon a beautiful warm day, and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The fans made the patio comfortable, and the team initially came across much friendlier than during my previous visit. Unfortunately, the service once again lost momentum after my food arrived. I waited my entire meal for a simple straw for my water, but no one ever came back to the table. I had finished my espresso and actually wanted to order the Horchata Latte to enjoy with my meal, but I never had the opportunity because my server never checked back in to see how everything was or whether I needed anything else. What really stood out was that the busser came to clear my table before I had seen my server again. It wasn't until I was sitting there looking around that I finally spoke to another staff member and explained that I had been waiting for my server. I had wanted to order the Horchata Latte, but I never had the opportunity because no one checked back on me after my espresso was served. When it came time to pay, I shared my frustration with my server. She apologized and explained that she had gotten tied up inside. I understand that restaurants get busy, and I certainly don't expect perfection. However, by that point I had already finished my meal, missed the opportunity to order another drink, waited for a straw for my water that never came, and was still waiting to close out my tab. That's ultimately my biggest critique of EAT. The food is exceptional, the patio is fantastic, and this visit was noticeably warmer than my first. But hospitality is found in the little things checking back after food is served, making sure guests have what they need, and being present through the end of the meal. Those small moments are what turn a good dining experience into a memorable one. I'll continue coming back because I truly enjoy the food. I just hope that, over time, the service becomes as consistently excellent as the kitchen.

My son didn't make a reservation because it was a Wednesday night and he didn't think it would be crowded. But with 5 adults and a baby carriage, we had to wait for the right table because the somewhat small restaurant was full. We soon got a good spot and ordered the shrimp ceviche and the pan fried dumplings for appetizers. The ceviche was served on a bed of crispy noodles and it was refreshing and satisfying. The dumplings were crispy, not greasy, and flavorful. For dinner, we got 2 orders of japchae and 3 orders of bibimbap. With 2 Korean-born children and having visited the country, those are among our family's favorite dishes. And they did not disappoint. The japchae noodles were just right. They were not too firm and not too soft and well-seasoned. With a mixture of veggies, meat, mushrooms, eggs, and that delectable sauce, the bibimbap tickled and satiated the tastebuds. I told the server there was a birthday at the table and she brought out an excellent creme brulee with a candle in it. My husband and I didn't pay the bill. But the prices were reasonable with most of the entrees costing less than $20 each. We have four more days in town and may very well make another visit to indulge in that scrumptious food.

First of all, I love the artwork. That is what convinced me to try this particular Granville when the first three were OK but nothing special. This one is. Second, the place is vast and beautifully decorated inside (see my pix). The temperature, the music (80s), the furnishings (brick, stone, glass, metal, wood -- all top quality), the plants, and the service were exceptional. Third, if you are up for it, there is valet parking even for weekend brunch. This is nice because the neighborhood is a little grungy and that saves stepping over the things on the sidewalks that should really be cleaned up by the city. Fourth, the menu keeps evolving. Everything we had there was for the first time. All of it was perfect. Beautifully plated, served at the right temperature, fresh and well seasoned, delicious. Dre, our server, was all smiles and so efficient, she seemed to float around. She made the experience lively and fun. This is a big space and yet, even on an off day at an off hour, people were streaming in the entire time we were there, almost filling it up. Whoever designed the place knew how to bring in just the right light so everything glowed and was brightly mysterious, iykwim? It was a perfect experience from start to finish. I am not sure I would try any other Granville when this one hit it out of the park!

Sit on the patio to enjoy the full effect of the fairy lights, fireplace and cozy spaces meant for an intimate date. I had their Old Fashioned which was banana flavored for summer. The banana was a more subtle finish, not sweet, but I still prefer their peach version and wish it was also on the menu. The deviled eggs are just the right bite for drinks. We also had the flatbread and hummus, made with green garbanzo beans and served with watermelon radish and pita bread. TIP: if you like biscuits, order theirs! Put your order in right away because they're baked fresh for you and they take a while. With the honey butter, it's perfect! Service is consistently good! From the hostess stand to the bar, it doesn't matter where you are, staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Servers read your vibe well and respond accordingly, providing excellent service for a date night or family/friends gathering.

The sauteed onions and peppers amplify the savory dish, the poached eggs are not runny, and the whole plate is enlivened by the mildly spicy "Santa Fe" Hollandaise sauce. There was a small side of fresh fruit. We both had to take some of the benny home, as there was too much to finish and it was just too good to leave behind! You order at the counter and grab a seat in one of the many seating areas (indoor and out). We opted for al fresco dining right on Tujunga Avenue, because sitting under the trees and watching the world go by is one of the most pleasant aspects of Aroma! But there is also greenery of every type in the back and side areas, too. Don't worry too much about the line. After you order and grab a table, the servers bring out your coffee/tea orders promptly, and the food comes quickly thereafter. Servers are busy but friendly and accommodating. There are a lot of enticing choices on the breakfast/brunch menu, so we look forward to returning to Aroma.

I got the burger with bacon and that this was ginormous! The fries were perfect! My cousin got the chiliquiles which also looked so good! And the dessert case was AMAZING! A lot of gluten free and vegan options. I'm always hesitant about those options but the vegan biscoff cinnamon roll looked delightful that I had to give it a try. I got it to go to share with my husband. Let me just say that this one cinnamon roll could single handedly convert me to a vegan! It was everything and so much more! It was to die for! I still dream about it. I cannot wait to go back and try other food which I can pretty much guarantee it will be everything and so much more!
