What is the best Brunch in Los Angeles,California?
Yummm! Tthe food here was very VERY good, and the ambiance was worth every penny. My only complaint was that it took quite a while for the bottle of wine we ordered to be served, and though I’d asked for a dry riesling I was given one that was quite sweet. Not that it’s that big of a deal, but I did expect better, and it did have an impact. That said, the food was delicious and the chocolate moelleux was to die for….really, don’t miss it! And I LOVED the atmosphere.
We frequent this place often, Thursday nights for tapa and sangria. Weekends for brunch. Thursady night has a great atmosphere with the farmers market and warm evenings. The food is varied and tasty. I wish the tapas were bigger but tapas are not meant to be huge anyhow. Can’t fault the place, owner comes out on occasion to talk to his patron.
If you want pleasant service, great Italian pastas and pizzas, go to Prizzi’s. You can sit outside and people watch on this 1 block strip of hollywood or sit upstairs and have a romantic dinner for two. The one item that cannot be missed is the breadsticks (full order and half-orders available). Parmesan, garlic and oil smother fresh-baked rolls. The price is very reasonable for a great meal.
When you first walk in you are immediatly drawn to the entrance of sparkling bright red and green beaded cloth and the sound of Latin music intices you to come feel the beat. First step in the door and its like your on an island in the Caribbean. No lights but the candles on each table. Red streaked paint and little necklaces and medallions hang from the richly covered walls. Empanaditas stuffed with goat cheese and vegs, small portion, very good. Comes with very tasty salsa. Dishes come w/ dirty rice, black beans, & fried bananas. Crunchy thing is fried jicama. Suggest you get valet parking, area around Cha cha cha is scary as heck. $20 dollars will usually get you a glass of sangria & your main dish (which could alone be as much as $20). Happily cozy.Pros + Unique atmosphereCons – the neighborhood, parking, yikes!!
