    * Amazing customer service * Delicious food * Validated parking * Casual and kid friendly ambiance From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point! Bryan, the owner, greeted us and took great care of our party of 11 adults and 1 child. We came to celebrate my sister's graduation, and when we asked if they could seat a party of 12, he said, "Give me a few minutes, I'll make something work for you guys." And he did! Such a thoughtful touch we had ordered the signature tater tots, but Bryan came out to let us know he already had complimentary tots coming to our table to honor the graduate and gave us the option to cancel our order. I had the tinga tostadas, which were the perfect size for me. We also tried the mac and cheese, perfect for the baby, with croutons on the side. The green chilaquiles were a bit sour and not spicy, but the brisket burger was juicy and tasty, and the seasoned fries were great. The fried chicken velvet waffles were unexpectedly flavorful and different definitely a must-try! We also had the coconut cream latte with my sister's picture on it, which was super cute and tasty. All in all, if you're in the neighborhood, this place is worth trying. We will definitely be back when visiting my sister!

    Red Mapel is an OK restaurant. And, I use that term OK very descriptively. It's certainly not bad, but it's also not great. It's just OK. At least in my opinion. In terms of their layout, they have their main dining area, which I considered to be a little impacted. The tables are very close to each other, and generally, even when the booths are open, the host doesn't sit couples there. They seemingly wait for larger groups. I understand that but occasionally they will sit couples in one of the booths like when I arrived this morning, there was a couple sitting in one of the booths. When we inquired about a table, there was a separate booth that was still available. But we were not offered to sit there.. So, I don't really know what the formula is? It seems to be non-descriptive. Meaning, a bit judgmental. The restaurant also has their forward patio. This is out in front of the restaurant, along Riverside Drive. If the sun's on the patio, this can be kind of trying. But, if you get there when the sun is off the patio, this may be your choice for a place to dine. They also have a rear enclosed patio area. This is a small area with just a few tables. But, you are protected from the sun and you do get some of the breeze blowing through. So, it may be a more enjoyable place to dine than the interior dining area. They also have some tables that line the street. As long as you're in the shade, this isn't a bad place to sit. But, you are going to get the cars starting up, parking, and things like that if you sit in this area. In terms of food, again, it's OK. Not great. Just OK. I guess it suits its purpose. This restaurant has a fairly large menu. So, you have a lot of choices to choose from. This is a very popular restaurant, so I guess many people take a different view of it than I do. Meaning, there's times when you will have to wait to get a table. So, if you're coming here midday keep that in mind. Overall, if you're in the Toluca Lake area, this may be a place for you to enjoy a meal.

    Red Maple was such a pleasant surprise. As a Yelp Elite, I'm always excited to discover new spots, and this one absolutely delivered. A recommendation brought me here, and now I completely understand why they're ranked #48 on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in LA. I tried the Vegan Egg & Cheese Breakfast Burrito with chorizo and loved that they also offer tofu, Beyond, vegan chick'n, and vegan steak options. I also tried the tofu skillet loaded with veggies, quinoa, black beans, corn tortillas, salsa, and a side salad. Nothing about the vegan menu felt like an afterthought. A special thank you to Brian for hosting me and to Delmy for being such a friendly, kind, and sweet waitress. The hospitality made the experience even better. The breakfast menu is available daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, which is another huge plus. I'll definitely be back.

    Amazing staff and service! Aesthetically pleasing on the inside and very spacious! This restaurant is so creative and I'm bummed out I didn't come sooner! The staff is so patient and I really appreciate it! They have customized iced coffees with any picture on top of the coffee! The breakfast sandwich was delicious and filling but not too heavy and the egg scramble came with potatoes that were the perfect seasoning, and bread!

    This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We put our name on the waitlist and didn't have to wait at all when we got to the restaurant. The hostess was efficient and gave us a nice table. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu. The food came out quick too! The chicken sandwich was amazing! I think the best I've ever had.The yuzu slaw had the right amount of sweetness to add to the sandwich. I think I could eat this again tomorrow it was so good! My husband had the scramble which he created and he said it was really good and not greasy. We definitely would come back here and tell our friends and family. Thank you for the amazing food!

    LeeAnn was wonderful she was extremely attentive and sweet. Brisket breakfast burrito is a must try, and was excellent as always. Love this place.

    There's a shared parking lot behind the restaurant with 2hr validation, as well as free street parking (read the signs). The restaurant is immaculate with very attentive service, almost too much so. We were checked on many times. There was no wait at 11am on a Thursday but then it got busier. We really enjoyed the Red Maple Signature Tater Squares & cheese sauce that were a Today's Special. I liked my tuna melt and salad and had to take half home because there was so much tuna. My friend expected her Seared Ahi Burger to be cooked a little more than it was but didn't want to send it back (we mentioned it after and were told they would've cooked it more for her). I would definitely go back!

    Foam art lattes

    Red Maple is a quintessential brunch cafe in the heart of Toluca Lake. Located on a nice corner lot, there was a cute farmer's market right outside on a Sunday morning, perfect to browse before dining in. We had a reservation for 7 people and the staff had everything set up for us when we got there. The service was exceptional! Order taking was super efficient and we felt extremely well taken care of. There was indoor and outdoor seating and both looked quite comfortable. Foam Art Lattes: You can choose a picture to put on your latte foam or update a custom pic! Super cool idea and the pics came out so nice! Very unique. Brisket breakfast burrito: Really good breakfast burrito and quite filling. Brisket was good and I substituted vegan JustEggs and that was also great! Chicken and Waffles: Had a nice lemon flavor and chicken was well seasoned. Ube Banana Pancakes: Three thick and fluffy pancakes that had a hint of ube, but wish there was more flavor. Texture was good, but it was a meal all by itself.

    We had not been to this location since it was 'The Counter' and we regret that. This is such a better experience than the previous and we will definitely be coming back. Brian was wonderful at the front host desk with a smile and a positive attitude, even with the Sunday brunch crowd causing a 15-20 minute wait. We ordered the Single Smash Burger with Seasoned Fries and were not disappointed. Rachel, our waitress, was accommodating with all the requests, and the food came out exactly as it was ordered. Kudos. It was a busy Sunday, but the atmosphere was very casual and not overtly loud or noisy. We will definitely be coming back and are kicking ourselves that it took us this long to patron this place. Don't make our mistake. BTW, Lance was amazing, always checking on our table and was very knowledgeable about the menu, especially praising the turkey lasagna soup. We are going to get that when we return!!

    Brunch here is 10/10! Everything was delicious and we got everything pretty quickly despite them looking busy. Our server was fantastic and took great care of us :) We sat outside on the front patio and it was so nice, minus the loud cars lol. Afterwards they had a little pride event going on in the parking lot which was also a lot of fun!

    Iced Oat Milk Latte
    Rowena A.

    A breakfast that checked every box and then some! My friend and I shared the traditional breakfast with a side of French toast, and it was executed beautifully: fluffy eggs, perfectly crispy bacon, and just the right touch of butter and syrup alongside the French toast. Nothing was overdone, nothing was missing. What really stood out, though, was our server Rachel. With a menu this extensive, having someone who truly knows it makes all the difference. She was knowledgeable, precise, and genuinely helpful -- the kind of service that makes you feel taken care of without being hovered over. And the latte art? A delightful little bonus that made the morning feel just a bit more special. It's a small touch, but it's the kind of thing that turns a good breakfast into a memorable one.

    Breakfast quesadilla (close up)
    Mgo T.

    Came here around 1pm on a Saturday by myself and it was definitely loud and crowded, but I was seated surprisingly quickly which was nice. Service was fast overall, although it felt a little, dare I say, aloof and I didn't feel especially welcomed. Not bad service, just not particularly warm. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla and substituted the chili lime bacon for turkey bacon, which probably changes the intended flavor profile a bit, so keep that in mind. Overall though, the quesadilla itself was really good. The texture stood out immediately; creamy from the avocado and fluffy scrambled eggs, with everything tasting very clean and fresh. The spinach tortilla added a nice flavor too, although I do wish it had been a little warmer and toasted & crispy since parts of it were slightly soft and mushy. The peach iced tea was excellent. Organic and unsweetened, very refreshing. The breakfast potatoes were decent. They tasted fresh and had roasted sweet red peppers and onions mixed in, which made them a little more interesting than standard diner potatoes. Personally, though, I prefer breakfast potatoes with more crisp and crunch, and these leaned softer and more baked than crispy. They still tasted good overall and honestly probably felt a bit lighter because they weren't heavily fried. Overall, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. It feels like an elevated diner/brunch experience with higher quality ingredients. I'd definitely come back to try other menu items.

Well, that was a no given that we needed to stop by to check it out. The place is quite cute. Dim lighting in the lounge area. Tables with a candle light and lightly dim throughout the whole place. Seating right when you walk in as well as and some table outside. The second room or back area is where you order. There's a glass displays with all the pastries.

As it was the art walk, it was quite busy. You order, which the gentlemen that was taking orders was quite friendly. All the staff member were friendly. After ordering, you just wait till your drinks were brought out and names were called. Also seat yourself. The concept with wine and coffee is quite smart as it brings everyone in. Obviously as it was the art walk, it was quite busy. I can't believe whenever I walked by so many times and never walked in. Knowing now that it's wine and coffee it's a must next time.

I…read moreremember the exact day because my attorney Richard had just gotten me out of a jam and I was eager to treat him to a meal (in lieu of payment). We got off the 134 and easily found some meter parking near the restaurant (I heard later that Richard got a ticket but not my problem). Strolling into O&T, I'd say the vibe was business casual. I heard the word "tentpole" spoken at multiple tables. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and Richard got one of those waters that comes in a box. 45 minutes later it was bon appetit. I would describe the salad as heavy, which in this case is a compliment. There's something magical about the combination of fresh veg, crispy wonton strips, and umami peanut sauce dressing. Honestly? The mouth feel makes my mouth squeal. I usually can't finish a salad, but I was enjoying this one so much I pretended not to see Richard's Miata getting towed on Kenwood. I finished the salad and Richard was full on water so we asked for the check. The waiter brought one of those Nintendos for Visas and I pretended I couldn't find my wallet. Luckily Richard had traveler's checks. All-in-all I couldn't ask for a better lunch. I don't like to discuss my legal matters on Yelp, but let's just say after visiting Olive & Thyme I was driving under the influence of a full belly :)

Before heading over, I called to ask about parking and was happy to learn they have a parking structure attached to the restaurant that validates, so make sure to bring your ticket. The moment I walked in, the place felt lively and welcoming. You grab a menu at the entrance, order and pay at the counter, then find your own seat. Unfortunately, after waiting in line and making it to the register, I was told the Short Rib Scramble was a seasonal item and no longer available. I won't lie, I was pretty disappointed. Thankfully, the cashier quickly stepped in with a recommendation and suggested the Steak Breakfast Burrito. It ended up being a great call. The burrito was packed with juicy steak, bell peppers, and had the perfect crispy exterior that gave it a great texture without being overdone. Every bite was balanced and flavorful. While I came for one dish and left with another, the friendly service, helpful staff, and delicious food made the experience worth it. I'll definitely be back, and maybe one day I'll finally get to try that famous Short Rib Scramble.
