The owners of this delightful Mom&Pop restaurant serve good food at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is calming and cozy. The food is delicious and prepared with care. I especially love their gluten-free waffles with blueberries. It's my favorite breakfast restaurant in all of L/A!!
Just driving by on a Wednesday early afternoon, spotted it driving by- a few cars parked out in front gave all the outside signs of a decent Italian restaurant.. so we decided to give it a go…
Walked in not knowing what to expect.. there was a lite menu posted on the wall .. but no signage indicating whether one orders at register or??.. but then I noticed a pile of menus nearby so we grabbed 2 and sat down..
.. thinking a waitress would come by- we pondered our choices - which looked plenty- though for gluten free options- only a small pizza and some salads were available.
After deciding our choices- I had to ask a wandering waitress if we had to order at counter - yes was her only reply.
We placed our orders, and paid with credit card- and they leave a spot for you to leave a tip - my question is for what ?? - the only service is that they bring the food to your table- is that worth even a 10% tip?
I won’t go into what we ordered but it was Very Good… so that made up for the lack of service- what the owner doesn’t realize is that this system is not conducive to ordering either more food or a dessert. It’s a shame because everyone loses- the waitstaff have no incentive to push more product and thus they make little for tips, the owner loses potential larger sales- and the first time customers like ourselves just wants to get out because it’s not a pleasant dining experience!
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! Quality food, people and atmosphere! Lovely hole in the wall location that you wouldn’t know was there unless someone told you, which in my opinion is the best place to be! They have vegan and gluten-free options, their food is extremely delicious and always consistent. I recently moved from the area and used to go here weekly. It was a absolute treat and affordable! The are closed on weekends which is a bummer but that’s the only “negative” thing I could say.
