Salmon & Asparagus Bow Tie Pasta
Helen C.

We got the BBQ bacon cheeseburger and the salmon and asparagus pasta. The cheeseburger was decent but the pasta was pretty good. Would definitely come back for the pasta. The hostess who seated us was kind enough to pick up a bee that we found on our table, and the waitstaff was attentive but we did have some trouble trying to flag someone down for the check at the end of the meal. Ambiance was quite nice. We came around dinnertime and there was no wait. Noise level is moderate and there's seating inside and outside. Just a heads up, they do charge a 2.5% service fee, which doesn't include tip.

menu with a nice brunch selection.

This was my first visit to the Marmalade Café at farmers market. The service was great. I love the outdoor atmosphere. It was a beautiful California day. The sun was out and there was a perfect breeze, so we sat outside in the patio. Someone at my table ordered the spinach artichoke dip. She really enjoyed the dip and the house potato chips accompanied the dip. They were great. They also ordered a spritzer. They enjoyed the drink. I had the "healthy breakfast". It was hearty and the 7-grain almond granola pancakes were great, not traditional still great. I didn't put butter, (I usually do) but they were tasty with just a tinge of syrup. They are best eaten warm when served. I would not recommend "to-go". I took one of the pancakes to home. It fell a little flat when eaten later, probably because it was not served hot "off the griddle". The scrambled egg whites w/bell peppers were cooked to perfection. I don't usually drink coffee, but I ordered a latte. I was pleasantly surprised, the coffee was great. Someone in the table next to me ordered avocado toast and added a poached egg on top when it arrived it had lots of greens (arugula or micro greens) on it. It looked delicious. I think I will order that next time I stop by. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked appealing. This will be one of our favorites to visit again when we go down to the farmers market/Grove area. My top rating is usually four stars. If I go back and the food and service is consistent, it will be five stars. I consider my five stars equal to Michelin star rating.

Stopped in here this weekend for some breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. It's located inside The Grove but they validate your parking if you park on the farmers market side (2 hours ). We got the steak and eggs and the oatmeal with fruit. The steak and eggs were very yummy and the steak was cooked perfectly. Also came with a side of potatoes. The oatmeal was good as well, very standard and nothing special about it. Service was also really great. The interior here is beautiful! Lots of indoor seating and a bit of outdoor seating as well. It seems family friendly as well. I would definitely recommend.

Calamari
Natalya D.

The location is great and there was no wait! The service was good, and the food always smacks. There's indoor and outdoor seating both with great views. Not pictured our drinks! I had a watermelon drink which was deelish, around the table we also had a bloody marry and a lychee martini...all perfect! We ordered half from the lunch and half from the breakfast menu. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict were a fave, and the chicken sandwich was tasty too! If you want a wide variety of food options that are all tasty, this is the spot for you!

Free Range Chicken Pot Pie
Ashley H.

Chicken pot pie was actually delicious!! The flaky crust was yummy too. Service was fast at first and then a little bit slow after we got the food! Inside was actually so cute and warm.

Exterior

Came for a Sunday brunch. Plenty of seats so our party of 8 was able to get seated easily. We came in between lunch and breakfast so was able to order from either menu, plus the specials. Food came quick. Chilaquiles were slightly spicy but the tortillas were a little soggy, probably from the generous meat and sauce plus the gooey egg. The crab cake Benedict had great crab chunks. Restrooms were nice and they validate.

This is located at The Grove so you'll have to park at a garage. It's my First time here. We came for lunch. We ordered Calamari, Spicy Ahi Tuna Tartare, Ginger Sesame Glazed Salmon with Broccolini, Lobster and Shrimp Linguine (but made with Penne) and Baja Cioppino. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the calamari and the Ahi Tuna since I love seafood. All the food was served hot and fresh. The price was quite standard not too expensive. note: the Ahi Tuna is quite enough for lunch (I was thinking it was an appetizer) it's still definitely shareable. The Cioppino is one dish not to miss. It's a must. It's another shareable meal. The restaurant has great lighting and decor. But can come dressed casual. Some dishes are pricey just FYI. But definitely worth a try. If you're on budget this restaurant might be good for a special occasion (in my opinion). The service was excellent. There wasn't a long wait at all. We were seated right away. Our order was taken right away and the food came fast. And it was nice and hot. Just the way it should be served.

Marmalade BBQ Chicken Salad
Tiffany W.

Enjoyed a nice brunch on the patio. Weather was perfect. I had a bbw chicken salad. It was a great portion size. Very filling without being stuffed. The flavors were all so complimentary. I really enjoyed it. Service was respectful. It was nice to sit on the patio and people watch Would recommend and return.

My boiled lobster - delish!!!
Brian G.

We used to be regulars here when our daughter used to live almost next door (about 12-15 years ago) but always for breakfast (good breakfast!). Today we were lured by the Thursday lobster deals. Amazing, tasty, delicious - the only minor improvement that could have been made would be to serve the corn hot, but still I loved it! Mrs G went with a lamb burger (which she felt was the best she had ever had) because she had had lobster the night before when out with our daughter. My Aperol Spritz was delicious, the staff were all friendly and helpful. Remember to have your parking validated!! Marmalade is situated in the midst of the Grove and the Farmers Market. So much to see, enjoy and buy!! Two thumbs up

Lunch menu at Marmalade

Came here for a friend's birthday party in the private room. Dorothy really took care of us! Came early to see Miriam at the bar for happy hour and she was so sweet and attentive! Food was great and service even better! Highly recommend booking the back room for a private party! Very comfortable and nice!

Stopped in for drinks and appetizers and left pretty disappointed. I ordered a macadamia old fashioned that was like $16 and it was honestly one of the worst cocktails I've had. It came with regular small ice (like soda ice), which watered the drink down quickly and completely threw off the flavor. For that price, I expect proper presentation and balance--this missed the mark. We also ordered the artichoke dip, which wasn't great either. It lacked flavor and just didn't taste fresh or well-prepared. Overall, between the overpriced, poorly made cocktail and the underwhelming food, it wasn't a good experience. Definitely not worth the money, and I wouldn't come back.

french onion soup
Kurt T.

Standard but good, and the service is always great. Usually there is little to no wait, which makes it an easy choice. I had the chicken piccata and it felt like you get a little bit of everything on the plate. The French onion soup was good, though a bit saltier than I am used to. Overall, it is a solid sit down spot that will not break the bank. For parking validation, make sure you park on the Farmers Market side, not the Grove side.

Miss G. We would love to serve alcohol at an earlier time, but due to our conditional use permit we are unable to do so.

Where is the Cafe in Sherman Oaks? I must have my wild mushroom soup.

Darling had been on my list for a while. I have Southern roots and love Southern food, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it. I also made a point of ordering things I probably wouldn't normally choose, which turned out to be a very good decision. Started with the Midnight Club, a bourbon cocktail with blackberry, amaro, citrus, and absinthe. Really good, with enough going on to be interesting without tasting overly complicated. The surprise of the night was the grilled squash and Romano beans. Honestly one of the best-tasting vegetable dishes I've had. Squash, tomatoes, mint, cornbread purée, and this thicker sweet-vinegary sauce all came together incredibly well. There was so much flavor in something I probably would have overlooked on the menu. I also had the black cod with grits and clams, which was fantastic. The fish was boneless and beautifully cooked over buttery grits, and the sauce underneath was so good I wanted a spoon for it. Rich and buttery, a little sweet, with dill coming through unexpectedly in a really pleasant way. Just an unbelievable amount of flavor. For dessert I had the profiteroles with brown butter ice cream, pecan sauce, and date. Great flavors, although they were a little awkward to eat with a spoon. The space itself is very cool, with interesting art and an open-air section in the middle that gives the restaurant a distinctive feel. Friendly service throughout. There was a DJ playing, which was fine, although it was pretty loud where they initially seated me near the lounge. I moved farther back into the restaurant and it was much more comfortable. You'll also hear the occasional "woo!" coming from the bar area. Overall, a really fun meal and several dishes I'd come back specifically to eat again. The squash in particular was completely unexpected and exceptional.

The food is mostly excellent. Green goddess salad was very good, albeit a bit heavy on the dressing. Pickled shrimp were a generous size and quite delicious, the pork loin atop corn was even better. The tahini and cucumber was least memorable dish, in fact, I would pass on it. Had three dishes that were all unique yet a bit too similar: Carolina creamed rice, some sort of white bean dish, and a greens atop cornbread mash. All were good but just too close? Cod was also excellent, like the pork loin, cooked perfectly. And the wine list was quite good. Had a peach cobbler for dessert, walnut fudge, and a peanut tart; all were American-sweet so I will defer opinions on that to someone who likes American-sweet dishes.

After moving to another city the only thing I knew was they eventually closed down. So a friend recommended Laurel Hardware to dine and I thought he was joking. I looked online, and sure enough, they reopened as a restaurant. It was highly recommended to me, and, therefore, I had to stop by when I was nearby. That was the case last Friday. We were driving by and decided to stop by and dine. From the outside, it looked like the old Laurel's Hardware. But once inside, the atmosphere was elegant and very friendly. It was relatively crowded when we arrived, but there was a seat available for us. We found seating to be very comfortable. I took my friend's advice and ordered the Duck Fried Rice. This dish was delicious, looked great and was enough for a complete meal. My guest ordered the same thing, and he loves it. Cocktails were reasonably priced. The bar area was vibrant and people there were obviously having a lot of fun. We only had limited time to dine that evening, so we never got the full experience of the restaurant. But I can say that we enjoyed it so much we are definitely going to return. I do have to add a couple of issues that really have nothing to do with the restaurant. We found parking in the area to be terrible, and we ended up leaving our car in a place that I considered to be unsafe although nothing happened my car. Another issue was a publicized strong-arm street robbery that occurred at night right outside of Laurel's Hardware. The perpetrators attacked a customer as he was leaving and beat him up very badly in an effort to steal his watch. So my suggestion is if you go there, try not to wear visible jewelry. I've known for a long time this is not a very safe neighborhood, but not being alone is always a good idea when going to places in that area. I'm not worried about dining there. My only issue was where to park.

By this moment. We just asked to leave and they can give our reservation to the next unlucky customer. Very disappointing experience.

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage.

For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here!
