Buttermilk Fried Chicken  Waffle 3.8/5
Yvonne Y.

Good brunch spot with great service! We were meeting up with Kiddo for a quick brunch and decided to try Poppy + Rose because of the good reviews. Since we had quite a bit of stuff in the car, we didn't want to risk street parking. We found a $10 paid lot for 8 hours on the same block, with a security guard, so that worked out perfectly. Only a 2-minute walk to the restaurant. We went Friday around 11am. It was pretty busy, but we were seated right away. The servers were super nice. Hubby and Kiddo got the Forge coffee, which was fine but nothing special. I got the latte. It took a while to come out, but the latte art was TOP NOTCH and the cup was huge! It tasted really good, although I wish it had been hotter. Kiddo and I both got the chicken and waffles, which we really enjoyed. I'd give them about a 3.8/5. Good, but not the best we've had. We've had some amazing chicken and waffles in the Bay Area, so the competition is tough! Hubby got the Market Scramble and gave it about a 2/5. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. Great service, good food, and a convenient spot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the neighborhood!

Shrimp and grits with wings
Bobbi C.

Service was meh. It wasn't really welcoming up front, but they were pretty busy, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. They do give you a pitcher of water when you sit down, but I prefer ice-cold water, so definitely ask for ice because the water was barely cold--almost room temperature. We got the mimosa kit, which was perfect to share between two people. Now onto the food! The steak BBQ breakfast burrito was AMAZING, especially with the BBQ sauce on the side. That is definitely not regular BBQ sauce, so I'm assuming it's made in-house because it was GOOD! We also ordered the wings, but they were pretty regular and honestly not my favorite. Lastly, the shrimp and grits were a no for me. I wasn't a fan of the grits at all. Overall, it was okay. I'd come back for the breakfast burrito, but there were definitely some hits and misses.

Shrimp and grits

I've been interested in trying this place for quite some time and was finally able to get the chance. First off, my server was next to none, he was outstanding, great personality, very welcoming. They do get quite busy since the food is excellent plus that exact area does not have much in the way of actual sitdown restaurants with full table service. It's located in the heart of the flower District, which is extra nice. The service can be a bit slow, it did take a few minutes to get drinks; but I think it's due to the fact that they are pushed to max capacity, not only with people dining in, but also a lot of delivery orders. I had the shrimp and grits with the rose Mojito and a blackberry sparkling refresher, which are mocktail drinks. Everything was absolutely mind blowing! The cheesy grits, with that delicious sauce, with the fluffy eggs and the juicy perfectly cooked shrimp. We're out of this world. My only gripe is that I wish the portion was larger, maybe, Phil the bowl really up with the cheesy grits to make it really filling. I also had some Perrier to sip on, which came with some cucumber in the glass, which is always nice. It is so often the little things like that they can really be so touching. Given my visual impairment, the staff were very accommodating and helpful. They were happy to guide me to the restroom, which was clean and assist me with anything that I asked for. (I used a women's restroom that had stalls, but I am not entirely sure if there is a single/gender neutral option available.) I enjoyed my experience very much. This is a great casual brunch spot. It is especially good if you want to come down to shop for flowers or perfume or any of the many things that are available around. (The crab Benedict is no longer available.) I think next time I would like to do something with waffles.

Unfortunately, I always seem to have this experience with Instagram-famous and TikTok-viral locations. They focus way too much on what the food or reels look like and forget that they still need to serve the customer. The service was slow. Our server, Brea, treated us like a large group (which meant an automatic 20% gratuity), but she didn't take all of our orders at the same time. Instead, she made us wait as if we were separate tables. She took the orders from two sections of our group and then just left. We thought she was simply putting menus away and would come right back. Nope. She cleaned other tables, cashed out another table, and we eventually had to wave her down just to place the rest of our order. The food was good, but not good enough to overlook the service. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits. The first few bites were delicious, but after a while the grits became a little too salty for my liking. Overall, I'm glad I tried it at least once. My husband ordered the Waffle Chicken Sandwich, which was really good. The sauce tasted similar to buffalo sauce, and it paired well with the sweetness of the waffle. Unfortunately, the wait for our checks was just as bad. Our server would make eye contact with us and then continue doing other things. It was ridiculous how little she checked on us after taking our order. The tables and chairs were already uncomfortable, so having to sit there even longer waiting to pay was frustrating. The only reason this is a 3-star review and not lower is because the food was really good and well seasoned. I would not come back again. Javier was the one who finally helped us pay our check and get out of there. I wish we could have removed the automatic 20% gratuity based on the service we received, but at that point it was what it was.

Fluffy pancakes, great hash browns - the lumber jack breakfast
Janet R.

We were headed to Los Angeles for a Dodgers game and wanted to try somewhere new for Sunday brunch. We found Poppy + Rose on Yelp, added ourselves to the waitlist, and were seated quickly when we arrived. My fiancé ordered the Lumberjack, which came with fluffy pancakes, a cute little hash brown, and chicken sausage. I had the chicken and waffles, and everything was delicious! The waffles were light and fluffy, and the chicken was perfectly seasoned--not salty, with a crispy batter that wasn't too thick. Kudos to Poppy + Rose! There was a slight delay with our coffee, but once we mentioned it, the owner immediately stepped in and made sure we received it. He came over with such great energy, apologized, and even comped the coffee, which he didn't have to do. We truly appreciated the way he handled it and made everything right. The prices are very reasonable, there's plenty of street parking, and we left extremely impressed. We will definitely be coming back! I would have given them 5 stars, but I will save that for the next visit. It deserves 5 though!

Kevin C.

If nothing else these pancakes are so far the best in downtown. The block of hash brown is interesting as it's crispy and crunchy on the outside soft like a hot potato in the inside. I got the pork sausage and my wife the chicken. Personally I liked the pork better my wife the chicken. Service was prompt and pleasant and the ambiance can be a bit louder than average. Overall a good breakfast or brunch place if you're at the flower mart. They even have lunch options so don't take it from me. Come check this place out. I'll be back on the next visit out this way. See you here.

Pulled Pork Hash
Danica

Came back to Poppy + Rose after years of thinking about it, and it did not disappoint. Ordered the pulled pork hash again and it was everything -- a crunchy brick hashbrown, flavorful and tender pulled pork, with a sunny side egg that just ties the whole thing together when broken into. The flavors and textures all worked so well with each other, it's the kind of dish that sticks with you. It was literally the dish that converted me into liking breakfast/brunch. Service was friendly and the space is cute and cozy -- exactly the vibe you want for weekend brunch. I do miss their rooftop seating though. Some street parking and nearby parking lots you have to pay for. It does get busy, so make a reservation in advanced! Enjoyed this meal, and will not be waiting years to return this time.

Renee C.

Extremely disappointing experience at Poppy + Rose. We have been here several times over the years and always had good food and service, which made this visit even more frustrating. The service was inattentive from the start. My companion received their drink, and mine did not arrive until about 10 minutes later. The biscuits were so hard they were basically inedible. There was a hair in my salad, and the burger was completely lacking in flavor. What really topped it off was having to get out of my seat and track down our server just so we could pay for a meal we already regretted ordering. We had not been back in about two years and were excited to return because of our positive experiences in the past. Unfortunately, the quality of both the food and service has gone downhill considerably. For the price and reputation, this was unacceptable. We will not be returning.

Grass-Fed Hamburger
Darlene J.

Sunday Brunch! Joined my friend in celebrating her Mom's Bday! We were a party of 8( with reservation 11am)& were greeted & seated quickly. Staff were Nice. Server took our Drinks & Meal orders( Most of us knew what we wanted, looked at menu online) Majority ordered Chicken & waffles, burger, & I ordered Crab/Avocado Benedict. Everyone liked their food, though I wish there was more Crab on my Benedict. The Cappuccino & coffee was good. I saw some reviews prior to coming to Poppy & some were for slow service. We picked a good time because the restaurant didn't start to get really busy until it was time for us to leave. The service time for our food was fine, especially since we were ready to order when we sat. ( we were all 1st time customers) The Biggest part is dreaded was the Restroom! Ugh! While the restaurant's decor is Nice & clean. Once you entered the hall to the bathroom ..you knew you were in DTLA! It's shared & maintained by the Flower mart folk. It's Grungy ,Old, & gross. Im surprised it had tissue! But No Paper towels! Luckily I had my own! Please put some $ in having own facilities or help better maintain this one. Do the employees use this bathroom too!? I dot know if I would've ordered food if I'd went to the bathroom first.

I love me some breakfast food and Poppy + Rose was a spot I wish I could've gone to more often. Parking can be tricky, especially being practically in the flower district. Chicken + Waffles were my go-to. Their biscuits/gravy, pancakes and Benedict's were yummy, too. Not too much of a fan when ordering on DD, though.

Food menu
Brinny S.

Nice black-owned breakfast option in the middle of DTLA's flower district! I came here on a holiday morning with a friend and there was plenty of open seating. I ordered a hot chai and the biscuits and gravy. The chai was delicious, while the food was just alright. It didn't wow me. The biscuits were a bit tough to cut through on the bottom and the plate was half bland salad unfortunately. I wish the food had been a bit more impressive, but it was still a decent option for breakfast downtown.

Darrien went above and beyond!! Treats every customer like a VIP!! Good food great service will definitely recommend and come back

Eggs Benedict with fried chicken and chicken and waffles
Erika D.

I made a reservation for 10:30 a.m. for brunch, but we weren't seated until after 11:00. It wasn't very busy, but we were told they were short-staffed. I ordered the fried chicken Eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns and a vanilla latte. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. The fried chicken was dry, the biscuit was dry, and the hash browns were also overcooked and dry. I had to ask twice for my vanilla latte, and I didn't receive it until about 30 minutes later because I kept reminding our server. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of bacon and a vanilla latte. The one bright spot was the staff. The employees and the manager were very kind and apologized for the delays. They even comped my latte, which I appreciated. Overall, while the service was friendly, the long wait despite having a reservation, the delays with our drinks, and the quality of the food didn't justify the price. I wanted to enjoy brunch here, but unfortunately, it wasn't worth the cost for me.

No, they do not.

Bottomless mimosas on a Thursday?

Yes, they're all inside of the restaurant. At least I didn't notice outside dining

Unfortunately there are no elevators, the restroom is downstairs in the restaurant.

Do they allow walk ins? Or do I need to reserve?

No need, you can be seated based on whatever is available

No specific parking spot for takeout. Street parking only. Or Moskatells parking can be used.

Yes I believe so

Hello do we need proof of vaccination or just a negative covid test?

You now need proof, but that's for all of LA

Do they have bottomless mimosas?

Do they take reservations?

Yes

as of now, I believe they're only allowing a maximum of 6 people per party. I’m sure you guys can split into 2 tables though.

oof! The menu does slightly change so definitely check it out before going. There are few gluten-free options (2-3), however, you can modify some meals so that is gluten-free, but no. no guarantee

No. However, the mimosa situation is quite nice. as is the lavender red wine spritzer.

Does Poppy Rose offer bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekends?

Not bottomless perse, however, you do get a full bottle of brute (it is delicious!) and bottomless OJ 😁. I feel it was well worth the price.

This restaurant is in the Art's District which is teeming with character, industrialized concepts…read moreand steam punk energy. I love the cathedral ceilings and lines and architecture. We had reservations and we were seated quickly. They offered us tap or bottled water service with still or sparkling. We opted for the still. I got a drink. I forgot what it's called but it has hot honey and it was delicious. The server told me it was the most Latin themed drink. It did not disappoint. We split the shrimp salad. When I say split, I mean my side got a mouthful and I gobbled up the rest. It was delicious. Everything pairs well with everything. The ingredients and flavors are so intentional. I loved the artist's point of view. My date ordered the Dorado and I ordered the chicken. The Dorado was superb. The chicken was out of this world. The chocolate sorbet was decadent and my deconstructed apple pie was fair. I had my eye on the pumpkin and shouldve gone with my first choice. This needs repeat visits. Make your reservations early. This spot is very popular with the in crowd. If you know, you know...stellar wait service. Tag team style.

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.

I remembered seeing Redbird featured in online publications such as InfatuationLA and had always wanted to give them a try. I'm glad I did.  The restaurant is built into the atrium of the historic Vibiana cathedral, allowing for a marvelous al fresco dining experience. Our server was very nice and well versed in the menu. I started with the White Carnation cocktail, which was light, refreshing and had a delicious peach flavor. The house bread is a pao de queijo, which was the best pao de queijo I've ever had. The texture was lightly crispy on the outside and glutenous like mochi on the inside. I loved the cheesy flavor of the bread. For our starters, we had the bay scallop ceviche and beef tartare. They were both phenomenal. The bay scallops were my favorite dish of the night. The scallops were very fresh and paired with bright tangy flavors such as mango and gooseberry. The beef tartare was rich and indulgent, accompanied by a delicious caramelized onion crema and shaved marrow, cut with acidity from pickled pearl onions. For our entrees, we had the steak frites, black cod, fazzoletti, and gargenelli. Objectively, the best dish out of the four was the black cod. The filet was stunning and sat on a bed of vibrant green zucchini puree. The fish was extremely tender, breaking apart into glistening, beautiful flakes with a fork. My personal favorite entree was the fazzoletti. The rabbit was tender and surprisingly not gamey. The steak frites were delicious as well. The garganelli, while still delicious, was outshined, and I would not get it again.  With a meal as flawless as this, dessert was irresistible. We had to hold ourselves back from ordering three items as the entire dessert menu sounded amazing. In the end, we settled on the black sesame crullers. The crullers were fried perfectly - lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They were paired with a passionfruit sauce and bruleed banana. The nuttiness of the black sesame contrasted beautifully with the tangy tropical fruits.Our dinner at Redbird was amazing, and I am eagerly anticipating my return.

From the very beginning, the service was unwelcoming. The hostess was neither friendly nor attentive. She simply pointed us toward our seats without saying a single word, making us feel as though our presence didn't matter. Our waiter wasn't much better. He seemed to have difficulty understanding what we wanted to order, and whenever we asked a question, he kept pushing his own suggestions instead of listening to our preferences. I first ordered an iced latte, which was awful. It tasted like cold milk with barely a splash of coffee. When I explained that I didn't want it, the waiter took it away with even more attitude. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. The ricotta blueberry pancakes were enormous and fluffy, but finding an actual blueberry in them felt like a treasure hunt. The duck confit was decent, while the goat cheese tartine was beautifully presented and tasted quite good. Unfortunately, a few decent dishes cannot make up for such poor hospitality. Service is one of the most important aspects of a high-end restaurant, and Redbird completely failed in that department. I will not be returning.

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.

What a fantastic place! It took me working with an…read moreex-employee of Republique to even find out this place existed. His advice: "go in the morning, their cakes and pastries are killer; a long line forms even before they open, it will be worth it" it's hard to not go broke here, they have sometimes unusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husbands fav. its a bit much for me but I cannot deny its beauty and quality. I love all the passion fruit desserts, their danishes, anything with Caramel. Come hungry, eat something here, take some home. When dining in I've loved a slice of their quiche of the day, they give you a nice side salad with a zesty dressing, I also love ordering the baguette with salted slow-churned cultured butter (Rodolphe Le Meuiner Beurre de Baratte) and jam - simple but WOW! Fantastic place for those coming to LA for the first time, the building is just gorgeous, and for those who live in LA: you should come! I love a good french pastry, I don't come in often but when I do I am always satisfied

I have been here, probably five times and the last time I went was on Halloween. The line was…read morelonger than I've ever seen it, but it goes pretty quickly. By the time you get inside, it's a little chaotic as you have to order before you sit and then wait at a table for them to bring you your drinks and food. But you have to pick your pastries before you pay so my pastries got confused with other people's pastries and then me and my friend got split up and then the staff was yelling to each other as to which table number to give us. I ordered the grilled cheese, soup and salad. I also got a berry Tres leches cake dessert, and coffee. I've gotten better things in the past. The grilled cheese was good, but pretty oily, the soup was a mushroom soup and it was a little bit bitter. The salad was also bitter based on the type of greens they use. My coffee was a bit sour and I didn't enjoy the taste of it. But the star was the cake. My friend got the fried chicken sandwich and said it was a bit dry and needed more sauce. She got the passionfruit berry cake and that was really tasty. In the past, I've had the quiche and the shakshuka and those were both better. The vibes in here though are amazing. You feel like you're in Europe.

Linden is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone for a wonderful…read moredining experience. The atmosphere is sophisticated, inviting, and effortlessly chic...definitely grade A in my book! Now, let's talk about the food... chef's kiss! Everything we ordered was delicious. The starters were an great way to kick things off. The herbed duck fat fries with caviar were indulgent, flavorful, and such a perfect combination of textures. The lemon pepper brussel sprouts were equally impressive... perfectly seasoned and absolutely addictive. But the star of the show? The Linden burger! Hands down, one of the best burgers I've ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor. You know when a dish makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate how good it is? That was this burger! I ended my meal with sherbet. It wasn't too sweet. Between the beautiful ambiance, thoughtfully prepared dishes, great wait staff, and overall dining experience, Linden definitely exceeded expectations. It's the kind of place you want to come back to and bring friends along to experience. 10/10 Great vibes, incredible food, and a burger worth coming back for. Highly recommend!

The host greeted us with the biggest smile. I made a reservation ahead of time so we got seated…read moreright away. The vibe here is so cozy and the playlist matched it perfectly. Moody and chill. But the food tho!! We ordered the lobster claw sandwich and duck fries and The Parkway which is duck with risotto. The duck was cooked perfectly with no gamey taste at all. The fries taste like fried mashed potatoes and they're light like a cloud. They come with a mayo style sauce with a hint of caviar. The lobster sandwich was so juicy and they were generous with the meat. Everyone was so kind and our server Fernando was super attentive. Salute to Chef Jonathan! They even surprised us with a complimentary dragon fruit sorbet. Sweet and sour with a hint of savory. Like fireworks in your mouth! We had such a good time. Can't wait to come back! :)
