Tuna Melt
Harry W.

Had a late lunch after shopping in Westwood, was able to sit outside in the pretty covered dining area. The waiter was really nice. The tuna melt was delicious with crunchy bits of celery, onions and peppers on sourdough bread. It was one of the best tuna melts I've had in LA. Skinny French Fries are a always a treat. It is great that they offer a choice of breads. For sure, one of the best places to have a sandwich in Westwood.

Beef California burger
Obeyy P.

Came here with my family to try out the restaurant. It was too hectic. Waiter took our drinks and order and the drinks never arrived. They brought out the food and the waiter that brought out the food had to remind our waiter to bring out our drinks. We were half way done eating when the drinks came out. They took a while to bring out my daughter pancake and kept forgetting my son's orange juice. Not once did our waiter check up on our table. I've seen multiple guest get up to get there own water since the waiters weren't doing there jobs. Plus the location was very expensive for such poor food. The beef burger was disgusting it did not taste like beef at all. The waffle was cold already and the coffee was watered down. I do not recommend this establishment.

breakfast egg sandwich
Jessica G.

I met up with a friend here before heading to a UCLA soccer game to grab breakfast. It's a small cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. Both the service and food were good. I ordered the Breakfast Egg Sandwich with bacon and cheese on an English muffin (you can choose your bread), along with a side of roasted potatoes. The potatoes were good with the seasoning! There's metered street parking as well as a nearby parking lot.

This place has a cute outside eating area. The service was okay. Ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was really filling and good! Lotsss of chicken was given, just how I like it! Came with pieces of bread, I thought presentation was neat. Overall, I enjoyed the pasta 9/10. Took it home to finish later. My friends got a sandwich and a burger, don't know how they would rate it, but they seem to enjoyed it?

Eggs Benedict with Salmon and well done roasted potatoes
Jasmine C.

This place is super understaffed for how packed it was at 11am. The hostess was clearly overwhelmed and not on the mood to be here. Took about 15 min before I was able to submit an order. I ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and was not impressed. The plating was messy and the entree was cold. My side of potato's were the best part and too hot to eat. Perhaps I'm just used to a more flavorful hollandaise sauce. This lacked every thing to do with flavor. If you want a bland non eventful dish. This is it. I understand that making this dish isn't the easiest. I have friends that are chefs. I also know it takes a lot of practice to make a proper hollandaise. I highly suggest the chef working today try using seasoning. I didn't even eat it. I'm not into wasting food, which is why I did not send it back. I would really appreciate if they would improve on what they call eggs Benedict Sincerely, A big back baddie Ps. I would lower this item price until the standard of it improves. 18.95 for burnt cold English muffin and a flavorless hollandaise sauce. The poached egg was perfect though

Sherry P.

Great breakfast location near to UCLA right in Westwood village. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options, including a side of chicken breast that most cafes never offer. We ordered the french toast, chicken breast, 2 eggs, and waffle special. Lived the french toast, flavorful and soft with berries. Chicken is great to pair as a protein and is a generous portion for $6! Everything tasted great, only downside is the below average service when it is busy. Servers definitely look too busy to be personable and show extra care. We've definitely visited several other breakfast spots in the area with much more caring and passionate staff. Other than the service during peak hours, nice food!

Breakfast Quesadilla
Winn H.

How have I walked by Lazy Daisy so often yet never tried it? Had to, so I stopped by with a friend and had their Breakfast Quesadilla. I have to admit it's a pretty cute place. Service was quiet quick in and out, and our food was had within a good time (10-15 minutes). The food itself wasn't too remarkable, with their roasted potatoes quite salty - chef's heavy hands? The quesadilla itself was enjoyable on the inside, though it was also on the saltier end. Jack cheese itself already comes a bit salty, so no additional salt would be needed. The mushrooms were a nice addition - hard to mess this up, but the chicken was definitely dry. Outside of this place being on the cuter end, featuring the option to sit indoors and outdoors, I have to admit the food was very underwhelming. Perhaps the move really was to leave Lazy Daisy unexplored.

Breakfast quesadilla with roasted potatoes
Jeremy S.

I visited Lazy Daisy in Westwood for the first time and ordered a breakfast quesadilla with roasted potatoes. It had scrambled eggs, jack cheese, mushrooms, avocado, and pico de gallo. I didn't have any problems with the meal, which tasted quite good. My friend had ordered a glass of orange juice. It turned out to be a small glass that cost $7, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing their orange juice. In addition, they add a credit card fee, so using cash or a debit card evades that. The table we sat at was a little small, but the restaurant had a nice ambience overall. There weren't many people when we arrived a little before 9 am.

Chilaquiles!! So good!
June T.

I was in the area with my niece and we came across this cute cafe!! The food was so good and the strawberry lemonade was delicious and refreshing! Staff was nice! We sat outdoors! The chilaquiles were nice and crispy and the salsa was flavorful with some spice! Definitely would come back!

Carne asada and eggs
Jason S.

I had an errand to run in West LA and got a bit hungry so looked up on yelp and found this place nearby and with good reviews. And the menu seemed diverse with loads of options. Walked up and there's a sign that says to wait to be seated. No problem as they were prompt to seat me. Options are inside or outside. It was a bit chilly so opted inside. The entire group of staff were very friendly and attentive A+ for service. Food presentation was good. I ordered the asada and eggs. The asada has rosemary on it which was unexpected but I like rosemary so the taste was welcomed. Unfortunately though there was no other flavors to the asada and it was over cooked. I'd prolly give it another try but I'd specifically ask if they can cook it less. I did like the jalapeño served with the dish. Over all people were great. Meal was underwhelming.

Grilled Cheese
Mia L.

Westwood staple! Somehow I managed to not go here for three whole years as a UCLA student but met up with some locals who wanted to go. We came here on a gorgeous day, and I really liked the vibe out on the patio. Despite being on a main road, the greenery really isolates the sun deck and creates a nice ambiance. I ordered an iced chai latte which was actually super good--better than average! I also got a kid's grilled cheese and fries which were also tasty and the perfect size for me. Our server was a really nice man. Solid, easy brunch spot in the UCLA/Westwood area.

Chipotle Chicken Wrap
Samuel L.

One of the better brunch spots I've had since being in LA. I don't usually go out to brunch so when I first came to Lazy Daisy I was a bit skeptical about the experience, but I was definitely wrong! We got the chipotle chicken wrap and the waffle and eggs breakfast and both were incredible options! The waffle was freshly made and the eggs/bacon were cooked very well. The chicken wrap was the star of the table though. Fresh vegetables, good quality chicken, flavorful ranch, what more would you want from the wrap! A couple things to note, the location is quite small so there are typically wait times. Maybe it was the day we went as it was Labor Day weekend but keep that in mind. I'll definitely be making the trip back to try more off the menu and to have another great brunch experience again!

The first thing that struck me was the restaurant itself. There is glass everywhere and a huge bar right in the middle that immediately catches your attention, along with an open kitchen toward the back. There is plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating. The hospitality started the minute we walked in. We checked our coats and were immediately greeted by a server holding glasses of champagne. That's my kind of welcome! This wasn't a traditional sit-down dinner. Instead, there were tables filled with food, including charcuterie and salmon salad, while servers circulated with additional appetizers. The chickpea balls, beef skewers, and beet appetizers were particularly fabulous. Drinks were limited to a preset menu, but that really didn't detract from the evening. The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, gracious, and constantly making sure everyone was taken care of, but never in an intrusive way. Even with a fairly large private event, there was an impressive amount of personal attention. I didn't stay particularly long, but I definitely left wanting to return. I can't really judge the neighborhood because it was dark and rainy and I went directly to the restaurant by rideshare, but given the circumstances, I was happy I had taken one. Beautiful restaurant, fabulous food, and, most importantly, exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. I would definitely come back.

We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Manuela is one of the finest restaurants I've been to in a while. Everything was exquisite from the…read moremoment my group arrived. We were a party of 6 for dinner. We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.
