I visited Brunch & Sip for a friend's birthday brunch on Oct. 3rd. I had no expectations and welcomed having someone new. I pulled up to valet park, I was greeted with a smile and told to enjoy my time. Check-in was quick and we were escorted to our seat quickly. The drinks were delicious, the food phenomenal, and the atmosphere appealing. I ordered the catfish and grits, with a side of fruit. Let's just say, no crumbs were left behind. The food was wonderful! I will be back. Thank you! read more

My partner and I visited Brunch & Sip for brunch on Sunday, and honestly, I left feeling more underwhelmed than anything else. First, the online menu does not match the menu in the restaurant. Was I the typical millennial who looked at the menu beforehand and got excited about specific items? Yes. Did I still find things I wanted to try on the actual menu? Also yes. So, not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. We shared the chia pudding and lobster toasts. The chia pudding was good... nothing particularly memorable, but perfectly fine. The lobster toasts, on the other hand? Criminal to charge $36. You get four bite-sized pieces of brioche with what I can only describe as a sprinkle of lobster. Not a generous portion, not a substantial amount of lobster meat. Just four tiny toasts for $36. For that price, I could have gone to Broad Street Oyster Co. in Malibu, enjoyed a full lobster roll with an ocean view, and felt like I actually got my money's worth. I am absolutely willing to pay for elevated food and a cute atmosphere, but there is a difference between paying for quality and feeling like you paid a premium for a garnish. We also had a reservation, yet were seated on the front patio right by the host area... not exactly the idyllic brunch setting you might hope for when booking ahead. Reservations typically come with some expectation of thoughtful seating, so that was disappointing. The waitstaff certainly looked the part, but I wish the attention to service matched the attention to appearance. The overall experience just didn't make me want to order more. I didn't even bother ordering coffee with my brunch. Instead, I left hungry and walked across the street to Yala, where I got a yummy latte and blueberry scone to finish filling me up. Honestly, that ended up being the highlight of my morning. To be fair, nothing we ate was outright bad. The issue was the overall value and the lack of anything that made the experience stand out. Cute spot, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return or recommend it based on this visit. read more

My food actually made me want to do a happy dance. Everything was so tasty, but the vibe was unmatched. They had old school R&B and hip hop playing and everyone was there for a good time. Not to mention they were packed so you have to make a reservation. However, despite them being packed, the food came out and we at in like 30min. Talk about quick service. I'm convinced there are no bad food choices because all three of our meals were good. The French toast and pancakes have a spicy sauce on them that create a beautiful taste profile. The shrimp and grits have crab in the gravyI do wish it came with a couple more shrimp, but I'd still order it again. The fried catfish taste home cooked and crispy. Yall run to this place, but don't forget to make a reservation lol read more

Really cute brunch spot with gorgeous interior. It's definitely a vibe and while I saw both couples, families, and groups of friends there...I would say it's the perfect place for a friend's brunch. Theres a DJ, bottle service girls, and flatscreen TVs playing whatever sports are in season. I also really liked that upstairs was partially rooftop and you could see the city while eating. The service was OK, and food took a little longer than I would've liked for it to come out. But, the food was absolutely delicious! I had fried lobster and pancakes, and it was a 10 out of 10 for me. My girlfriends who had flatbread, vegetables, and french fries also enjoyed their food. Overall it's a great spot and would visit again! Valet is available at the front read more

Brunch & Sip *September 12th, 2026 *8am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Street Parking *Inside & Outdoor Seating *Friendly Service Food/Drinks: *Chorizo Burrito *Catfish & Grits *Lemon Ricatta Pancakes with side of Sausage *Chocolate Chip Pancakes with side of Wagyu Bacon Came here with some friends for brunch and made a reservation through OpenTable. Our server was very nice and friendly throughout the meal. Since we were dining as a group, we shared each of the dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. The catfish and grits was my favorite dish, with the chocolate chip pancakes coming in a close second. The grits were well seasoned, and I really liked that the pancakes used mini chocolate chips, which gave them a good amount of chocolate throughout without being too overwhelming. The lemon ricotta pancakes were also refreshing and had a nice lemon flavor. The chorizo burrito was decent overall, although the mole at the bottom made the burrito soggy and a little difficult to eat. The Wagyu bacon was probably my least favorite, since it was a little soggy and somewhat underwhelming. One thing to note is that it took a little while for all of our dishes to come out, so we weren't all able to eat at the same time. Parking can also be a little tough since the main option is street parking, although there is a $10 valet option. Luckily, we had an early reservation and able to find parking with ease. Overall, it was a good brunch spot with friendly service and several dishes that stood out. I'd definitely come back for the catfish and grits or chocolate chip pancakes. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the food was honestly SO good, but the overall experience was a little chaotic. We had a reservation for brunch and unfortunately weren't seated until about 20-25 minutes after our reservation time. To be fair, it was raining that day and it seemed like the weather had taken out some of their usual seating, so they were definitely backed up. Totally understandable -- but unfortunately, the delays continued once we were seated. Service was extremely slow and pretty disorganized. We ordered drinks, then our server came back because something had happened to the order and she couldn't remember what we'd ordered, so we had to give it to her again. We eventually ordered our food, and one of my friend's items came out before we had even gotten our drinks. Our drinks finally arrived, then my food came out, but we were still waiting on the rest of his. Everything seemed to arrive at completely different times. We also asked for hot sauce to go with my friend's catfish at least three times and kept reminding our server, but it never came. Eventually we were basically like... never mind, we don't even need it anymore. By that point, the meal was practically over. The other thing to know: it is LOUD in here. They have a DJ, which I actually thought was fun, and the music was great, but the volume was so high that my friend and I could barely hear each other. Even our server commented that she couldn't hear us. I love a fun, lively brunch atmosphere, but it's probably a little too loud when no one at the table can actually have a conversation. BUT... the food really did redeem a lot of the experience. I got the pancakes with crispy chicken wings, and OMG. The wings were perfectly crispy and whatever spicy sauce they put on them was ridiculously good. Sweet, spicy, crispy, fluffy -- somehow it all worked together and I would absolutely order it again. My friend got the catfish with his pancakes, and the catfish was also delicious. Super crispy on the outside and really well cooked. Apparently the food here does not need hot sauce anyway, which is fortunate because you may never receive it. My Hugo Spritz was also really good once it finally made its way to me. Overall, the kitchen definitely delivered. The food was genuinely delicious and enough that I'd be willing to give this place another chance, but the service and timing need some serious work. Hopefully we just caught them on an especially hectic day. If they can get the service together (and maybe turn the DJ down just a tiny bit ), this could be such a great brunch spot. read more

5 stars for me !!! Me and my friend had a really great time for sure!!!food was very delicious!!! Like really flavorful and good portions!!! I ordered the shrimp and grits with a side pancake and I'm giving it 10/10. The shrimp and grits were seasoned perfectly and you can ask for the gravy on the side!!! The pancake was so good and buttery well worth the carbs. I don't even really care for pancakes but I heard the hype so I had to try it!!! And yes the hype was adequate!! Happy I tried it!! My friend ordered the chicken Po boy and said it was on point!!p For drinks I tried the vanilla latte with cognac which, Dominic hooked up, very good bartender and very welcoming and amicable!! We also ordered the MILE-HIGH CLUB MIMOSA PACKAGE that came with prosecco, which I love because I don't drink mimosas but prosecco is my favorite!!! This is well worth it and only $45. The service was exceptional !! I had the pleasure to have Dominic upstairs as I waited, and when we sat down, we had Kingston as our server and he was amazing! He always came back to check on us and suggested really good things off the menu. I highly recommend getting him as a server!!! The ambiance is very modern-upscale and I like it!!! It's a vibe for sure. They have outside seating as well and upstair seating with another bar and on weekends a Dj comes. It is also another bar downstairs as well that's cute! The valet is $10.00, which is not bad!! Overall, my experience was great!! I already made reservations to come back and cannot wait to try more items and drinks off the menu. This is def a place for girls brunch, date, and celebrations!! -Marshay D. read more

Pretty cool spot with two very different vibes depending on where you sit. Upstairs is really loud during brunch, while downstairs has a much more mellow atmosphere. All of the food was great, but everything came out at different times. There was probably a 10 minute window between the first plate arriving and the last, which was a little odd when everyone is trying to eat together. They were unfortunately out of all the champagne I wanted to buy, but they did offer to discount some different bottles, which was a nice gesture. Overall, I'd probably come back at some point, but it didn't absolutely blow me away. Solid spot with good food, just nothing that made me feel like I had to come back immediately. read more

If you're looking for a brunch spot for you and your besties or a cute brunch date with your boo, Brunch & Sip is definitely worth checking out! My husband and I came for Sunday brunch with reservations, and we only waited about five minutes before our table was ready. We were seated upstairs, and while both levels had a fun, lively atmosphere, upstairs is definitely where the vibe is. That's where the DJ was, and the energy was on point. One thing I thought was a nice touch was that they had staff walking around with complimentary cocktail samples. They were featuring the Hugo Spritz. It was a little too sweet for my taste, but hey...free liquor doesn't go to waste. Our waiter was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We started with the Hot Butter Lobster Toast $36. For our entrees, I ordered Cause Waffles Shouldn't Have All the Fun: scratch-made pancakes topped with Napa Valley Farm chicken wings tossed in a spicy WhistlePig barrel-aged maple drizzle $28. My husband ordered the Catfish & Grits $26. The lobster toast was good, but not $36 good. It came with four tiny pieces of toast, and for that price, I expected a little more. My husband really enjoyed his catfish and grits. Now...let's talk about my meal because I'm still processing it. It was pancakes and wings. In my world, pancakes automatically come with syrup, right? Well...mine didn't. When my plate hit the table, I immediately looked around thinking, "Umm...where's the syrup?" The pancakes were dry, and I found myself scanning the room trying to flag someone down before they got cold. When I finally asked for syrup, I got a look that almost made me question whether syrup even belongs on pancakes. Maybe that's just how this dish is served, but if you're ordering it and you're a syrup-on-your-pancakes person like me, ask for syrup when you place your order. It'll save you from watching your pancakes get cold while you wait. The wings, though? Those were really good. We also shared the Mile High Club Mimosa Package $45, which comes with a bottle of Avissi Prosecco and carafes of pineapple, orange, cranberry, and grapefruit juice. Definitely a fun option if you're sharing. Overall, I had a good experience. The atmosphere was great, the service was solid, and even though my meal had me scratching my head a little, there are several other things on the menu I want to try. I'll definitely be back. Oh, they have valet parking for $10, which made parking super easy. read more

Wow if I could rate this place 10 stars I would. Absolutely loved it here. Upon arrival we were greeted my valet which I believe is 10$. The hostesses at the door were so nice & welcoming, Gretch & Lidia have the greatest customer service. Lidia was our server & she was very attentive and very helpful with the foods on the menu. We all enjoyed our food. Drinks were amazing also. We had some mimosas and a margarita tree and between us 3 we shared & it was the perfect amount of alcohol. They have upstairs area with DJ who was playing great music! Definitely brunch style ambiance. Would definitely return! read more

Welcome to the valley!! The food good that I'd come back just to try more items on the menu. Everything we had was delicious, and there were so many other dishes I already want to order next time. Except the breakfast burrito was interesting, it was technically a "wet burrito" but the middle of the burrito was facing up and the ends of the burrito were sitting in the sauce. After we asked for extra sauce (since it was at the bottom ends of the burrito) we soon realized when the bill came it was an additional $3 for a mini side of sauce. That also look 10 minutes to get to our table prior to asking for it. The drinks definitely didn't disappoint either, the frozen margarita tower was such a fun touch (HIGH ALCOHOL FAVOR, the seasonal flavors got masked by the tequila and citrus) and a huge hit with our group! Also the champagne bottle order, that comes with 4 different juices. We sat outside on the ground floor patio and loved the vibe, but I noticed they also have indoor tables, bar seating, kitchen counter seating, and an upstairs patio with its own bar. I already know I'm requesting the upstairs patio next time with the DJ!! The service was great. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, but ahead of sitting down we had reminded the waiter that we were celebrating a birthday and there was zero acknowledgment of it. That was a bummer. We're locals and love to support our local businesses. read more

I forgot to leave my review but I stopped by for brunch this past Father's Day. I had just came across a post of them on IG when a mutual friend posted their grand opening I believe it was. Being that it was in the valley and I've been getting asked about brunch spots; I did my due diligence to see what they were talmbout lol. There is valet and street parking available. I believe a lot of people parked behind the building in what appeared to be somewhat of an alley. Some may have even parked in the shopping center across from Firestone. I parked on the street where the shopping center was and walked down to the restaurant. Upon walking up I immediately was feeling the vibes. It was a Sunday, so a lot of Black Folks were looking their best. Which I have to applaud. There's patio seating out front prior to entering the restaurant. Appeared to be full as Peale were making reservations and waiting to be seated. I was able to walk in and get escorted to a bar section right in front of the kitchen; where I was then able to see the chef and cooks cooking. The view complemented the vibe. The ambiance was extraordinary. The second floor is accompanied by another bar amongst tables, a beautiful view and a DJ. Now, I didn't receive the best service when it came to receiving my first drink and my food. I ordered a "King Status" which is their version of a Sidecar. The drink was great but it took about 15-20 mins to receive it. I ordered the lamp chops with potatoes for there and the catfish and grits to go. I was hoping I was still going to have my drink to sip along with it but unfortunately, I finished it because it took too long for the meal to come out. I then ordered the "Birds of a Feather" to kill some more time as I waited. By the time I received my order; it was brought out to me by a different young lady who had packed everything to go. At this point I was really disappointed with the service. She then asked me if I wanted her to put it on a plate and I declined. The lamb chops and potatoes were great in my opinion. They were flavorful and seasoned pretty well. Nor were they tough. The potatoes were seasoned well also. However, the catfish was fried in what appeared to be dirty grease or oil. The fish wasn't overcooked but appeared to look as if it was. I forgot to take a pic of the grits but they were really good. Despite the lack of no cheese nor chives, I still found them to be enjoyable with the catfish. I shared my thoughts with the waitress. She was very understanding. She also provided clarity as to why I wasn't receiving the best service. As a way to make amends she was able to remove both of my drinks. So I got to drink for free in a sense. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner or one of the owners, Brandon. Very cool guy indeed. Much respect. He was more than open to hearing about my experience. He took accountability and apologized on his staff's behalf. He too also provided clarity to the situation and gave me his number. Overall, I enjoyed the drinks. I liked the food. The ambiance and vibes were great. I'm a definitely return for another visit and keep sharing this spot with others. Just because I didn't have the best first time experience doesn't mean someone else wouldn't and that's doesn't mean my next visit will be the same. Keep a positive attitude. Stay blissful and productive. read more

A friend and I dined here on a weekday early morning. We arrived at approximately 8:30 which is great because the place opens at 8. There was only one other couple in the restaurant. We were promptly seated inside. Our waiter Scotty was very polite. Had a great relaxed professional demeanor and was very helpful with the menu. We ordered the -blackened salmon and shrimp 9/10 (the salmon tasted better than the shrimp) -Catfish and grits 10/10 (great flavor profile if you eat them both together) -fish and chips 8/20 ( fish was great) -crab cakes with a very tasty tartar sauce10/10 (loved! full of crab perfectly cooked) -Fried chicken biscuit 9/10 (really enjoyed the sandwich definitely enough for two. The hot honey syrup was a great touch. The gravy was amazing. I ended up taking a separate container of gravy home with me. so delicious! Rosemary garlic potatoes -10/10 (fresh crispy and perfectly seasoned) For drinks we ordered: Yesss Kween 8/10 Butterfly water 8/10 We ordered a couple of glasses of Prosecco to end our dining experience, which was the perfect touch! Our waiter was very helpful throughout the entire dining experience. He was very comfortable with casual conversation and made sure he checked up on us throughout. When I go back, I will definitely if he's on shift and request him. Scotty, you rock! The decor of the restaurant is very comfortable, yet vibey and inviting. I love the deep green and lilac color scheme. I would love to come back during the evening to see what the mood is like. We were told there was an upstairs area that has a Dj and a small outdoor patio area on Fridays and weekends. I did not go check it out myself, but I did see a few people tour the area. As much as I love a single restroom (main dining) I can only imagine when the restaurant gets crowded. There would be a line. But it was very clean, well maintained, and decorated. read more

Brunch & Sip was SO good! We came for Sunday brunch and everything from the food to the atmosphere was on point. The vibes were amazing, the music was good, and it was just such a fun brunch experience. We tried the Sidecar Tree, fish & grits, crab cakes, lobster mac & cheese, and pancakes, and honestly everything was delicious. The lobster mac & cheese and fish & grits were definitely standouts for me! Oh, and the lobster deviled eggs were amazing. They are not on the menu, but definitely order them. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the menu and the overall experience. Great food, great drinks, and great vibes. Definitely a new Studio City brunch spot worth checking out. 10/10 we'll absolutely be back! and of course the service was phenomenal! read more

Loved this place! Modern, colorful, super friendly staff, and great outdoor seating (plus an upstairs DJ on weekends). ​The lobster mac, chicken biscuit with gravy, and mimosas were fantastic. But the blackened salmon and shrimp was hands down my personal favorite. Hats off to the chef on this one!!! ​It was a hot day with a few flies, but totally not their fault. The food and vibes easily made up for it. 10/10, will definitely be back! read more

Was looking for a new brunch spot, and saw the great reviews for Brunch & Sip, so we decided to give it a try. Three of us valet parked ($10) but the 4th kept looking for parking and we were not permitted to sit down until all of us were there. She finally arrived, and we were seated in the main downstairs restaurant. Two on the bench and 2 in chairs, but one of the chairs was missing. 3 of us sat on the bench, and chatted, looked at the menu etc. Finally a table next to us cleared, and they bussed it, but didn't offer us a chair. We finally asked our server (who knew we were missing a seat) if we could steal one from the empty table next to us. She got it, and we proceeded as planned. There were 3 people at the bar/table right by us who were super loud and conducting a FaceTime call! We could barely hear ourselves. But it was a fun energy, and we placed our orders starting with a champagne juice flight. It comes with a full bottle of champagne, and small carafes of orange, grapefruit, cranberry, and pineapple juices. A mix & match mimosas bar. Very fun. The food was absolutely delicious. My shrimp & grits were so good! I just wish there had been a little more. Compared to my friend's meals, it was like a snack. But again, delicious!! Two had the fried chicken & French toast (instead of waffles, because our server recommended the French toast.) They were so happy with their meals. I had a bite of the French toast, without anything on it or with it, and it was amazing. The last friend had the typical breakfast plate, and seemed very happy with it. All in all, it was a great experience. Once the people at the bar left, the noise went to typical restaurant level. The servers couldn't have been nicer, and I'd definitely return. read more

Came to a celebratory brunch here last Sunday. A beautiful location filled with beautiful people. Laughter and smiles flowing...along with the drinks. They make their Bloody Mary mix in house, therefore I had to play. It was good. The olives, celery and bacon are a nice touch. But I think next time I must inquire about what kind of vodka is being used. The music and decor....tight. Now down to the most important part of Brunch....the food. Our table ordered... The fried lobster tail served lemon ricotta pancakes. Pancakes Grits Crab cakes A lobster roll And three sides of chicken wings...over time. I don't really eat chicken but I heard the praise and caught a whiff of the glaze ...so I tried one. The last batch was overcooked...maybe that was the universes's way of telling me I shouldn't have had chicken. Consistency is key. But the glaze is so darn good...it's even good when it's a little charred. I was told the grits were good. They looked delish but I didn't try them. The pancakes were good. I'm tough on pancakes so I'll leave it there. It's hard to meet the high expectations of what a lemon ricotta pancake should feel and taste like. I personally wasn't a fan. The crab cakes were a tad too earthy and herby for me. I like my crab cakes, crabby. The tarragon was strong in these ones. Whew. Now ...the dish I would not do again....the lobster "roll". It should be called Splash of lobster on mini brioche bricks. I didn't want to be the one...so I asked for salt and pepper and popped those little hard bites in my mouth. But...no. NO. I must add, I'm gonna go back and try other dishes. So I'm not done here. But honestly I wouldn't even accept the lobster "roll" as a free appetizer. It oozed disappointment. read more

I was really disappointed with our experience at Cienna. We had a reservation, but when we arrived, they tried to seat us at the bar or put us at a very small table for two. After speaking with the manager, Brandon, he said he could accommodate us, but we still waited another 20 minutes. Once we were finally seated, the cleanliness was a major concern. There was gum underneath our table, dirt under the table, dirty napkins and cups, and a bug crawling on the menu. The restaurant was also extremely hot and stuffy. An employee told us the air conditioning was broken. It was so uncomfortable that we couldn't even enjoy our food. One of the most concerning things we witnessed was a large amount of hair on the floor. An African American server picked it up with her hands and threw it in the trash. She then went directly to serve food at the table next to us without washing her hands. Seeing that was extremely disturbing, especially in a restaurant. We also noticed champagne shots being offered to the server's family, while we were not offered the same. The food itself wasn't impressive either. The pancakes were overcooked. By the end of the meal, we felt rushed to leave and were offered two seats at the bar. For the price and the expectations that come with making a reservation, this experience was unacceptable. The reservation wasn't properly accommodated, the restaurant was uncomfortable, the cleanliness was poor, and the food wasn't to good it was over seasoned! read more

My husband and I saw a billboard for Sip & Brunch and decided to walk in yesterday. The place was super cute, and although there were no tables available, we were perfectly fine sitting at the bar. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. My husband's food came out well before mine, and the bartender who took our order never checked on us. Yes, he was busy pouring drinks, but he also had plenty of time to squirt champagne into other customers' mouths and make himself a drink while I was still waiting for my food. My husband finally had to ask a busboy about my order. When it arrived, it wasn't hot and seemed like it may have been sitting for a while. I was hungry, so I ate it anyway. I also ordered a side of pickles, but once again, we were forgotten. By the time they arrived, I had already finished my sandwich and was ready to leave. We were charged $3 for a very small portion of pickles. When we asked for the charge to be removed because of how late they arrived, the bartender responded dismissively that he had "already put it in." To make matters worse, our check was incorrect and had to be redone. The bartender corrected it reluctantly, and throughout the entire meal, there was a noticeable lack of attention or care. It seemed like he was much more interested in flirting with the women at the other end of the bar than taking care of us--even though we were paying customers too. The frustrating part is that the restaurant was adorable and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the cold food, incorrect bill, long waits, and dismissive service completely overshadowed the positives. Based on this experience, we will not be returning. read more

Really disappointing experience. I came here with my family to celebrate my mom's birthday, and it ended up putting a damper on what was supposed to be a special day. We waited over 60 minutes while multiple tables that arrived 20 minutes after us were served their food first. The only things we received were one entrée and a side of potatoes and fries, while the rest of our order was nowhere to be found. Our waiter was very kind and apologized, even offering us a free drink, so I don't blame him. But after not eating all day, it was frustrating to sit there for nearly an hour watching everyone around us enjoy their meals while we had nothing. I felt especially bad for my mom, who spent her birthday sitting there hungry instead of enjoying her brunch. Choosing this restaurant for her birthday was unfortunately a mistake, and it really put a damper on the celebration. read more

Brunch and Sip is a new joint in Studio City. The food is good, but not one of the 20 people I went with two weeks ago, (nor the guest I took today ) wanted to return or even go in. My previous group all agreed the food was great - slow to arrive but good when they tasted it. Their reasons for no return were too slow, too cramped and too loud.. I made a reservation for today just to give it another shot.. When we went inside it was ridiculously loud - club loud. Music blaring out so people shouted to be heard.. the acoustics magnify the volume. And it was packed again. I'm happy for them as we want businesses to thrive.. my friend walked in and immediately turned around because she couldn't hear herself speak. It was an instant and resounding NO WAY. I really hope the owners read this because it would be so nice to come again, but if 20 people all said the same thing previously, and my friend said it again today, no amount of good food will get people back. It's extremely cramped inside.. I know they want to maximize on tables and seating, but this is almost claustrophobic- especially on the first floor. Upstairs is more open plan but really hot - windows are floor to ceiling and wide open and no amount of fans will prevent the heat and humidity from over powering any attempt to cool the space down. If you are good with having to shout to be heard, can handle really tight spaces and happy to wait over 40 minutes for food to show, then this place is for you. Like I said food is good - but not good enough to give it another chance sadly. Final note: anyone with hearing issues should stay away because of the sound levels. read more

Waited 40 mins for our table, mind you we had a reservation, waited 10 mins for water. Then when I asked about chicken they said that's at their other restaurant location they don't have it. whyyy did I see them bring out a wing. Then when I asked they said it was a wing. So when I asked my waiter they said it comes in 3 pieces not one. Mind you I saw one come out. They said that may be a special accommodation. So boom getting food and they're rushing and so called busy, a guy literally told us he's busy with downstairs and couldn't grab us condiments. So we waited for our waiter to come back and then we addressed it with the manager because we were truly frustrated he sent over watered down shots so we let him taste it and resent shots. Told us the kitchen closed and we couldn't order anymore. Like no warning, but also were being rushed after yall made us wait 40 mins for our table. Yall all of this happened on my homegirl bday too. SO disappointing. Also we don't want shots. Our experience was terrible and his solution was to come back for dinner. SIR you haven't resolved this. We weren't drinking like that so the shots was okay but not the best accommodation considering everything that happened. Which I found out later...she had been there before and had a eh experience and he told her to come back and text him and our friend did and we STILL had a shit experience...that's why asking to come back for dinner is INSANE. Please work on customer service and operations. I understand things happen but constant back to back inconvenience was crazy. Only thing great was the food!!!! read more

I have no complaints, food was amazing. Service was spectacular especially the bartenders and hostesses. We had the shrimp and grits which were a 10/10. Then the all american breakfast. Mimosas were great as well. This place has great affordable prices we shared everything with our total being $121 split 2 ways. I loved the vibes and DJ, so happy we have a black owned brunch spot in LA. Will definitely be back because I found my new "I know a place". read more

We had an amazing time at Brunch & Sip. The food was great and so was the service. We ordered the American Breakfast and the Shrimp Watermelon Salad. We sat outside and our server, Scottie, came outside over 10 times to keep giving us water. He was truly amazing and so nice. The food had a depth of flavor I'm not used to experiencing. We also ordered some drinks and those were great. You can tell everything is prepared with care and intention. We will absolutely come here again. Also, the ambiance is relaxed and classy. Very grown. 10/10 no notes!! read more

The food was delicious, although the portions felt a bit small for the price. The atmosphere was great as well. We sat at the bar facing the open kitchen, and it was really interesting to watch the main chef work. He had an incredible presence and clearly knew what he was doing--and it definitely showed in the food. The only downside was the service. The waitresses weren't very attentive and seemed to be doing very little at times. With a little more attention to service, this place could be so much better overall. read more

Dining at this restaurant was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Watching the Executive Chef and Sous Chef work their culinary magic right before my eyes was truly captivating. I ordered the Blackened Salmon and Shrimp (the rosemary potatoes and sauté kale was incredible), requesting my salmon well done. Despite that, it remained perfectly juicy and cooked to perfection. Kristin, my waitress, was absolutely magnificent , attentive to every detail with a warm smile that never faded. Her positive energy truly elevated the entire dining experience and is undoubtedly a key part of what makes this restaurant a true gem. The atmosphere, music, food, and service combined to create a vibe that is simply second to none. I'm already planning to return at least twice a month. Wish there was a 10star option!!! read more

I hesitated to leave this review because overall our group had a nice time however I will say there is room for improvement. We were seated upstairs in the enclosed patio area which is super cute and has a Vegas like vibe which we love however there are no fans and air circulation and in this summer heat, yall need something! It got really hot up there, really fast. The drinks were good and everyone else's food was good however I can't speak too much on mine considering my crab Benedict came out 25 minute after everyone else's food was dropped and the eggs were heavily overcooked. One egg was literally hard boiled inside and the other was border line hard boiled, but certainly not how a Benedict should be served. I ended up taking one bite and giving it back to the server because I didn't want to wait any longer for my food since the rest of our table had already finished their meals. This definitely bummed me out because I was really looking forward to this meal, I've been anticipating this place for a long time and I LOVE a good Benny. All in all I think this place has a fun vibe and has great potential but they need to hire more staff to keep up with the demand and get better at food timing. Having 4 people at a table all receive this meals at significantly different times makes dining uncomfortable especially when the last meal dropped is over cooked and has to be sent back. Our server was sweet and took it off the bill but we could tell she was overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with how many tables she had in general read more

We had a very delicious breakfast here this morning. We ordered the deviled eggs, it was so flavorful, the blueberry pancakes, the fluffiest ever, huevos rancheros, the best part of the meal, and shrimp & grits, the shrimp bbqed perfectly. The staff was friendly and was on top of getting rid of the dirty plates. The ambience was a cool trendy LA spot but with good food worth going to. read more

5 stars. beautiful new spot in Studio City with friendly service and a great menu. The fried lobster tail and wings were excellent, and the mimosa was perfectly balanced with just a splash of juice. The shrimp and grits were good too, but I'd love to see the gravy dialed back a bit on the salt so the crab flavor can really shine on its own. A few dishes also took longer to come out, but since we were sharing everything, it wasn't a big deal. Hopefully that's just part of the normal new-restaurant kinks getting worked out. Overall, great food, great vibe, and definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

Terrific new bar/restaurant on Ventura focused on Southern-style Brunch fare. Food was very good, fresh and full of flavor, decadent and delicious. Friendly, pro service, lovely setting. Music was too loud for us, this place definitely skews towards a younger, hip, urban demographic. There's an upstairs bar/lounge area that isn't open yet. The high-fat, high-salt, high-spice level of my food order, delicious as it was, caused me a some acid indigestion a few hours later. read more

My first time here and it did not disappoint. The ambience is beautiful, love the decor and vibe. Went for brunch with a friend during the week. Service was great. The waiter was lovely. But the food....OMG was amazing! Had the Benny and pancakes and wings, and WOW! Added the tallow fries, delish! Will definitely go back and try additional dishes. But so far bravo! read more

Brunch & Sip - Benny! Would've liked if it came with potatoes or fruit, but ended up ordering the tallow fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Brand new spot that operates as a perfect brunch spot, lunch spot, and lounge. The drinks are phenomenal and very fairly priced for the high-level of execution. Each cocktail is its own adventure, but I would recommend starting with a Hugo Spritz. When in doubt asked a friendly bartenders, who know the menu very well. The interior is inspired by a tropical mahogany lined lounge and a DJ booth on the second floor shows promising entertainment. The food takes homage from soul food and brunch favorites, each with a lux finish. Try starting with the deviled eggs. I can t wait to be back! read more

Brunch & Sip is a great addition to the Valley, and judging by the line out the door, I'm clearly not the only one who thinks so. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was there. The space is beautiful, the decor is on point, and the music pulled everything together. My ratings: D'USSÉ Lamb Chops - 10/10 I usually don't like lamb because of the gamey taste, but whatever they do here completely gets rid of it. The D'USSÉ glaze was incredible, they lit the whole plate on fire right at the table, and even the potatoes stayed crispy the entire meal. Shrimp & Grits - 10/10 Hands down my favorite dish. The grits were rich and creamy, the sauce was so good I wanted to take some home, and the shrimp had the perfect char. Crab Cakes - 9.5/10 Crispy on the outside, full of flavor, and packed with crab. D'USSÉ Drink Tower - 10/10 If you're going with a group, this is the move. Perfectly mixed and definitely part of the experience. First Class & Petty Cash - 10/10 This cocktail was fire. Smooth, well-balanced, and one of those drinks that's dangerous because it goes down way too easy. What I love most is that they're bringing brunch culture to the Valley every day of the week, not just Saturdays and Sundays. That's something the area has been missing, and I think this place is about to become a staple. I'll definitely be back. read more
