I am so sad to see this place was permanently closed. We drove to the Farmer's market today and was shocked to see the restaurant was completely gone. read more

Now THIS is a hidden gem. You need to get over here right away and take advantage of their afternoon "Happy Hour" that isn't called a Happy Hour, but functions like one. There is a Marmalade Bites menu that is available every day from 3-6 and it is a HECK of a deal. They have apps (called small bites but I can attest that they were not really small at all), drinks and desserts for $8 each. We had a couple of cocktails/beers, the sliders, the mini nachos and the bruschetta. We were expecting the normal minuscule portions of Happy Hour "bites," but these were nice big portions. We actually over-ordered. And everything was good - the sliders and the bruschetta in particular were both must-order items. Service was very friendly. There was only one other table in the place on a weekday late afternoon. I can't imagine why this place isn't slammed every afternoon - it is the PERFECT place to do a meeting, friends catch up, early dinner/late lunch... really, it's a perfect place to keep in your back pocket and use for ANY occasion. This is a great find. Make sure to get parking validated! Grove or Farmers Market parking is the only drawback we found to this spot. read more

Came in for breakfast while shopping at the grove and really enjoyed this cafe! Inside was very clean and wasn't too busy at the time but it did fill up very quickly! Service was very good! Server made sure to check up often and asked if everything was good. I got the steak and eggs. Steak was amazing! I got it cooked medium and was cooked perfectly. The steak was seasoned perfectly with the right amount of salt and very tender! The eggs were fluffy and delicious. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Ordered French onion soup & Italian salad for take out and it was spot on! The French onion was hot, fresh, and very authentic. Perfect soup for old weather . Very filling, and generous portions. I parked right in the small parking lot next door, There's about 5 spots for marmalade. Took about 10 minutes. Lots of seating inside, bar, tables, and booths, cute ambiance. The host girl was very friendly and polite. Will come back and try more options ! read more

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 read more

This was on odd experience. We went during the holidays with some friends who had kids, and the food was fine, but the server and what was brought out was just off enough to where you questioned if you placed the order right. We ordered a few items off the kids menu and they all came out as adult portions. The server ended up charging us for the kids meal price, which was nice, but it was odd that it happened multiple items when the kids themselves placed the order. For one of the orders, we asked for some toppings to be added to one of the kid's pizzas and they brought that on the side. They also combined the sides of the kids meals which led to some bickering. A couple of us ordered the add-on soup (its cheaper to do that than to order a la carte) and we got different soups, and what came out were multiple orders of the same thing. Outside of that, the overall experience was fine. They do have a room in the back that would be nice for more private or larger group. The service wasn't great, but I felt obligated to leave a decent tip since the kids left a little bit of a mess. We had multiple servers attending to us and it didnt seem like they were communicating. The food wasn't anything special, it just felt like a typical diner food and for the prices it just didn't align. I doubt I'll come back, but its a cute spot if you need a quick bite. I think I was expecting it to be a bit more Gourmet, especially with the nice decor they have, and it just didnt hit the mark for me. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was ok Service was good We sat at the bar to watch the Dodgers game and ordered some food from the regular menu & other food from the happy hour menu. I highly recommend ordering from the regular menu. The happy hour bites were bland and not worth it. Steak on nachos was limited and bland. Mushroom fries were very dry - like air fried dry. read more

The restaurant is bright and cheerful with all the yellow tones. There were numerous poinsettias on a shelf above tables which I thought was odd since we are months past Christmas. I got the lobster Benedict, overall the flavor was good but it was a little cold and the hash browns on the side either weren't cooked all the way or had been sitting for a while. We tried this place because it was an option with the In Kind app. Because we had points saved up our breakfast was basically free. Can't complain about that! Overall, I think there is definitely room for improvement and would be open to giving it another try. read more

Terrible service, mediocre food. When the server brought out my poached salmon salad, his thumb was touching the greens inside the bowl. As I dug into the salad, I realized it had no dressing. The only dressing was a little drizzle on top of the piece of salmon, which was definitely frozen and reheated. I waited a very long time for someone to be nearby enough for me to get their attention and ask for salad dressing. It took another very long time for them to come back with dressing and no apology. No one ever came by to see how everything was. Took them forever to bring the check. The server also never asked if we wanted any drinks besides water. read more

Food standard. Today's spinach dip was not good as it lacked spinach and heat. Tasted too milky. The sweet potato fries was great as a side. I like the new colors and upholstery. It adds a brightness and lightness to the atmosphere. Just wish the menu was cleaner and laminated! The paper was old and dirty. Service impeccable! Jason was amazing and so attentive. read more

I went to Marmalade Cafe for breakfast. I have been to the Marmalade Cafe before and have always been impressed at how friendly everyone is. Today was no different. We were seated and our waiter took or order right away. Food was delivered relatively quickly by different but friendly person. I had the eggs benedict and my partner had the Giilsons Scramble. Both of us commented on the generous portion size and both of us thought the food was very good. One of the things that I really like about the restaurant is the amount of windows and sunlight that it gets and you have the option of sitting inside or outside. This is definitely a good breakfast/brunch place. I should go back and try it for lunch or dinner! read more

Not bad for the location. The service was as quick and great! The server was very nice and friendly. We had Cajun Chicken Pesto pasta, chicken tortilla soup, French onion soup. The kids Alfredo pasta and cheese quesadilla. The food is pretty good and the place is nice and clean. We stayed late and the light were dimmed for a nice romantic ambient :). I would recommend this for family and couple. read more

From start to finish, marmalade cafe was perfection. Having walked through the twinkling magical lights of The Grove, I arrived before my friend and without reservations. They allowed me to choose any table I wanted and to sit prior to my friend arriving. It was 6:30 on a weekday so not very crowded, although still enough people to feel festive. I chose a large booth towards the back where I could admire the freshness of the interior. It felt nice and warm with the soft but sufficient lighting while also airy due to the open space and cream painted walls. Service was professional and prompt. I couldn't decide between entered and my server helped me choose. I had the chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and a Caesar while my friend had the tuna salad. I think the chicken piccata was the best I've had although perhaps made better by being so hungry. The sauce was light but flavorful. The chicken thin and tender. Both of us finished every bite on our plates, despite being large servings. My friend had been several times in the past and said that while they specialize in fish, everyone shes gone with has loved their meal. I wish I lived in LA and would come more often to try other entrees! read more

Meh. This is my third time eating here, and unfortunately, the experience hasn't changed. The wait staff always disappears and forgets you're there. There was truly no excuse for this, as there were hardly any people inside, and only a few other people sitting outside at lunch with us. I had the pineapple upside down pancake. It was good, however, I had MAJOR (bad!) indigestion afterwards. If I could go back I time, I'd order something else. Probably won't come here again, as there are plenty of other food options within steps of this place. read more

The place was in a good spot to people watch. Nice to walk around the grove afterwords. We came before the lunch rush. Salad was a little dry but i washed it down with the champagne. I gave it two starts because it did take a little while to come out with the food. Considering i had salad and my companion had bacon, eggs and pancakes which i feel like has a quick turn around. It wasn't a long wait tho. read more

The outdoor seating are is great if you're looking to enjoy delicious bites and refreshing drinks while soaking up sun and views of The Grove. I stopped by butter and decided to take advantage of the daily happy hour specials. Here's what we're loving from the menu: Nachos - Fresh, crispy, and super satisfying. Definitely a winner! Mini Burgers & Fries - Perfectly bite-sized and SO tasty. Great value for the price! Quesadillas - Decent, but personally, I'd opt for something else next time. Watermelon Margarita - Hands down, the BEST cocktail on the menu! Sweet, refreshing, and the perfect way to kick back. * I was really looking forward to the butter cake, but unfortunately, the texture was completely different from what I remembered. It was a bit of a letdown, especially since that's the main reason I stopped by. Hopefully it's just a one-off, but it definitely didn't live up to expectations this time. * They'll validate your parking ticket when you dine with them. read more

I don't think I would come back to this location. We were here on a Tuesday for lunch. It was not that busy - the whole center aisle of tables was empty. The wait for our food was incredibly long, and when it came, the crab cakes were overcooked, the burger order was wrong, and the fries were lukewarm. Things that were good - the mixed greens side salad, chicken tortilla soup, and turkey club sandwich. read more

Service is good, but the food was okay. The chicken in the chicken Caesar was a bit dry. The wild mushroom soup needed more depth in flavor and more heavy cream base.

Me and the husband were in a pinch and needed to find a restaurant for a quick bite before our movie. We've gone to this establishment before for lunch and were surprised it wasn't too busy considering it was dinner time on a Saturday night. The ambiance is really laid back so this restaurant is good for casual get togethers or quick bites. We ordered two blood orange marmalade margaritas and a pot roast to share. The blood orange margaritas were a little too sweet for our preference, so my husband ordered an extra shot to balance it out. The pot roast was fantastic. Very comforting and savory and I was delightfully surprised at how tender the pieces were. The yukon mash was very buttery and smooth and the veggies were cooked to perfection. Definitely one of their stronger dishes to order. Service here was quick and efficient, and we were out in less than an hour. Will definitely return again! read more

Came here with my family and we left a little disappointed. My kids ordered the breaded chicken and fries and they had zero complaints. I ordered the Chicken Caesar salad and it was not the best. The dressing had a strong mayonnaise taste and the lettuce was yellow and browning. My husband ordered the tacos and the tortillas tasted uncooked. But I will say my espresso martini was excellent. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean. If you come here maybe try something else off the menu or enjoy a cocktail! read more

Quite frankly, I walked over from my residence to get the half baked chicken for $30+ which I've had once before, and I thought the portion was too small, but it was so tender that I can't forget how delicious it was. This time I got like a schnitzel, dry, and spread thin. Certainly not what I expected. I let the waiter know and ate the broccolini and a couple potatoes and they still decided to charge me half price of $18 plus the tip for broccolini and a few lousy potatoes instead of just comping the entire meal. Maybe it's time for a new Restaurant in that space. Thoroughly disappointed! I hate giving bad reviews, bad for the business, but you asked for it. Wake up Guys. Will I go back? Yes, probably. read more
