The spot is always great for a girls brunch! This is my second time coming here and the food was just as great both times. I will definitely come here again on my next trip to LA!
Nice ambiance and many meal options. The service was good as well. There's a small parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking around the restaurant.
Whenever I am in the LA area this is my go-to for food and exceptional martinis! I did not take pictures of the food unfortunately but we ordered the salmon and Cajun chicken pasta. Both were wonderful!
Great burgers and a quiet corner so we could actually carry on a conversation. Plenty of off-street parking behind the restaurant
Best French toast ever. Fresh vegetables and meats. Great glam decorations. The service was good
I really enjoyed my experience here. The interior is a bit quirky, table and seating are comfortable, service was very nice and helpful, and the food itself was delicious. That is a bit pricey, they do the "upscale burger experience" quite well and the french fries were very good, and the onion rings not over battered. This place is on my list now. And I thank you for not commenting that I shouldn't be eating here because of my waistline.
My friend and I went to this spot for brunch on a lovely 110 degrees Sunday. The spot is very close to a lot of other businesses and parking is available but not ideal as I believe you can only parallel park. The restaurant definitely has a cute quirky vibe with framed photos of famous women and cute pink flowers everywhere on the walls. Even the cups had their own character to them! We got seated, our server gave us our waters and we ordered cold brew, a cup of orange juice and a cup of lemonade. We then ordered our own entrees, my friend got the 19 French toast which smelled sooo delicious and the sweet potato waffle fries that came with where super crispy and warm. I got the chorizo plate which was very hearty and not at all too heavy. I will say that I did ask for hot sauce because I felt it needed a kick of spice. The portions where very appropriate, we did have some left overs but it wasnt too much leftover food. The prices where also very reasonable. I really did like this spot and we had a great time chatting and eating but my only complaint is that there is no AC in this place so do not come here when it's over 90 degrees. I will come back when it's colder!
Haven't been to 26 Beach in a while, but some friends were looking to do a celebratory brunch in the area and it was the first place to come to mind. At 10:30am on a Tuesday, it was pretty empty, so we got a great table on the patio, which is beautiful and kitsch as ever. The service was wonderful, as our wait staff were very accommodating. I remembered that the portions are quite large, so we went for more of a family style approach, and between the three of us, we had the Churro French Toast, the Lemon Ricotta French Toast, and the Brussels sprouts. All were fantastic. The toast itself was all cooked to perfection, the sweetness was strong but never saccharine, and the sprouts were a perfect balancer-- if I had any unmet desires, it would've been for more sprouts, but as an appetizer that I think is only meant for one person, the portion is still very reasonable. (Also, Brussels sprouts are easy to mess up and hard to do really well, and they've NAILED it here.) It's also my first time coming back to this spot since being old enough to drink, so I had to try a cocktail. I wish I'd remembered to take photos of anything else, but at least I got one of my drink, because I was mesmerized by the purple color and the kooky glass. I had a Lavender Lemon Drop Martini, which was delightful. Super tasty, with just the right amount of alcohol to taste without overpowering the drink, and to feel without messing you up for the rest of your day-- at least, since I only had the one. My friend had a Bloody Mary and found it pretty strong, but thoroughly enjoyed it, and even ate all of the vegetables in it. This was odd behavior, but to each their own. Anyway, the drinks are good. I've loved this place for many years, and I'm so glad it's stuck around all this time. While I don't get out too much anymore-- times are tough for us all, and going out isn't free--, I'm glad to have gotten to come here as one of my rare opportunities to hit a restaurant, and I hope to return sooner than later.
I should have gotten a photo of the back room but it was a fun vibe. Classic Audrey Hepburn meets designer fashion decor. The chairs were animal print and the wall colors were bold pink and blue. We all had burgers and we all thought they were delicious. I had the curry veggie burger (without the curry sauce because it's made from chicken stock) and it was yummy. I wish they offered fully vegetarian option though. I appreciated their lemonades as the mocktails. I had the guava lemonade and next time I want to try the lavender lemonade. The service was good. They were attentive and checked in often.
This place was very eclectic. The moment I walked in I saw a Christmas Grinch right in front of me with it being highly decorative. I had a type of sushi burger and it was honestly pretty great. Perhaps inflation is happening but, was it a 20 dollar burger? Hmm pretty close. It certainly was different. The service was absolutely great though and our server was fantastic. So all in all a pretty solid place.
