SUPERBA GRAIN BOWL
Paul L.

Came here to work for a little while and had the grain bowl with chicken and two matcha lattes. The grain bowl had really good flavors, although the chicken and eggs didn't seem quite as fresh as I would have liked. The matcha lattes were good though. Really nice space overall, especially the patio. It's a great place to hang out or get some work done for a while. There were also lots of interesting conversations going on around me, which gave the place a fun, lively atmosphere without being distracting. Service was great. My waiter was friendly and attentive. Overall, a nice spot with a great patio and good atmosphere. I'd come back, especially to work and grab a matcha.

The multigrain pancake was absolute perfection. That's all that needs to be said, but I'll still call out the Umami Salmon Bowl and delicious matcha. Will be back!

crispy skinned rainbow trout

Tried the 3 course DineLA dinner menu $45. Picked here for the and lush patio and proximity to hollywood bowl. Server was friendly and even shared which items are full portions for DineLA! ~First Course~ Parker House Rolls Went with this bc they are known for bread. It is similar to Hawaiian rolls and tastes great, but I don't think it was necessary to eat this here. The store bought ones, after some prep, can be comparable. Roasted Meatballs might be more money worth for the 1st course because of portion! Comes with a slice of focaccia bread. But the bread came a little cold so wasn't the best tasting. ~Main Course ~ Crispy Skinned Rainbow Trout Amaze amaze amaze. Would order this again! The trout was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, flakey and tender. Not dry at all, which is my biggest pet peeve against fish. This is also very money worth because reg price is $31 and they gave the full portion. Mary's Chicken Schnitzel Very tender chicken! I know it's like European but... my taste buds wants to put katsu sauce on it. ~Dessert~ Panna Cotta I was a bit apprehensive going with this order because I'm not big on jello-like pudding, but this version was milky and soft which I much preferred. And I enjoyed scraping everything off the plate. The other dessert option was chocolate cake (not full portion) and it is delicious. Would rec. ps. they also have a seafood selection that was very tempting!

I've been meaning to try Superba for years, so when a friend recommended it for lunch, I was keen to go. First impressions were great, the space was more massive and beautiful than I anticipated. A gorgeous outdoor patio that felt like a little garden oasis and a beautifully spacious interior had me enchanted. Our server and the hostess were both warm and welcoming, but the food just didn't cut it for me. I had my heart set on the grain bowl before I even walked in and ordered it with chicken. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly our orders came out until I noticed that the grains were missing from both dishes. Turns out they were out of rice and forgot to mention it when we ordered. They were gracious and offered us quinoa as a substitute but, unfortunately, the quinoa couldn't save dish. I found it incredibly bland and it seemed like chicken and egg had been precooked leading it to be on the drier side. Portion size was good and the dish itself was beautiful but, honestly, I've had better grain bowls at Sweetgreen.

CRISPY SKINNED RAINBOW TROUT, CINNAMON STICKY BUN, CHICKEN CHOPPED SALAD, BLACK SESAME MATCHA LATTE
Kathy X.

Superba is the perfect spot if you want a quick balanced meal. They have tons of outdoor and indoor seating. The chopped chicken salad was actually so good and filling, I loved the vinaigrette, it was bright and refreshing. And the rainbow trout was cooked well. The cinnamon sticky bun was pretty good, but it was a little overdone so the bottom was quite hard. The black sesame matcha was okay as well, I didn't really taste the matcha or the black sesame.

Superba Food + Bread has 5 locations around LA but this Hollywood is like a hidden garden gem. The patio is so darn cute and even used for movies & shows sometimes - a friend of mine filmed this week there! It's truly a beautiful space and feels so relaxing when dining there. I had dinner with a friend here and we loved everything we had. Service was the perfect level - kind but not over~the~top, checking in just the right amount, making sure we were well taken care of. Clean bathrooms, too, haha! Now the drinks and eats! I absolutely loved my Pecan Cold Brew (6.50) and was surprised to see such an option at dinner! It was perfect. My friend had the beautiful Ginger Thyme Lemonade ($6.50) which was also just delicious. I highly recommend everyone try their 'Selection of freshly baked breads with all 4 spreads' for $29 if it's your first visit in. It's a filling starter of a few of their breads (the pre-buttered & chives topped charred levain was exquisite as is - no notes!) and a few of their toppings. My personal favorite of the toppings was the fresh cheese with honey & salsa macha - our server said it was their favorite, too - but there wasn't a bad topping in the lot. Butter + Salt was simple but lovely. The Charred Eggplant spread was sweet in a good way with walnuts and pomegranate molasses. The smoked trout was nice to have a meaty option with smoked onions mixed in, topped with roe. We had the Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio ($27) starter which was light but beautiful with meyer lemon, chives, sea salt, and sourdough crisps. Everyone recommended me the Fried Brussels Sprouts ($15) before I went and y'all were right! They come lightly fried with red flame grapes, walnuts, and pecorino cheese all mixed on the plate Fell in love with Superba Food + Bread and can't wait to go back. I hear their brunch is fabulous, too!

Pasta dish...
Ariane D.

The worst. This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend whom I trust. the three of us were totally disgusted by the food. First it took a very long time to have the food delivered to our table. We did not get any bread ? when they brought it, it was so gross. You can see the picture of my pasta very oily and it was tasteless. I guess it must be easy to wreck a pasta dish. I would never eat there again ever ever it just questions my faith in eating in restaurants it's really rare nowadays to get a real good restaurant. There is a Superba in Calabasas but based on my experience I will not try it. The waitress warmed up in the end although I disputed the 3 % extra tax called happy and something else. The nerve after the wait and the horrible food. Valet was $10 and the hostess almost let door hit us when she took us to our table. All around a bad experience.

So lovely inside for dinner or outside for lunch or just a drink. While I mostly come for the ambiance, you have to have the hen of woods mushrooms for an appetizer! Just WOW

Rigatoni Bolognese
Doug L.

First time dining at Superba - we arrived at 8:30pm and it seemed like they were closing already? I always take into account not sitting somewhere just before closing, but this was an hour and a half before closing and we are pretty quick when dining. The host promptly sat us on the patio, but tables looked cleared of settings and some didn't have table lamps like others. The service made us feel like we were a bother for being there. It made us regret choosing to spend our money there. I loved the Little Gem Caesar, the Rigatoni Bolognese. We returned the brussel sprouts and my husband was unimpressed with the double cheeseburger (to be fair, I thought it was good!) The server who took over for ours, was sweet and welcoming. Unfortunately, we won't be giving it another try here.

LOX + SCHMEAR + SALAD and UMAMI SALMON BOWL
Elsa W.

This place was so cute! Loved the grand entrance that takes you into the patio dining. You'll have to walk around to get to the host, where you'll end up at the indoor dining area. It was such a nice day when we went so we opted to wait 20 mins for patio seating. I wasn't sure what was the best items here but I opted for the lox and schmear and it was just what I needed. Great food, great vibes. I would definitely see myself bringing friends here.

Receipt for meal.
Sarah P.

Superba Hollywood gets a lot right aesthetically, but the dining experience left us wondering whether the restaurant is more focused on finding new things to charge for than serving good food. My mom ordered a biscuit. The server asked whether she wanted butter, and she also requested jam. There was no mention that either would cost extra, yet the bill included $1.50 for butter and $1.25 for jam. I ordered the double cheeseburger and asked for a slice of tomato. That added another $1.50. Then, on top of everything else, every table is charged a 3% "Happy + Healthy" surcharge. I expected to pay extra for oat milk in my chai because it was clearly listed on the menu and that's become fairly standard. The "Happy + Healthy" surcharge was also listed on the menu. The butter, jam, and tomato were another story. Those charges weren't disclosed when we ordered and felt like an unpleasant surprise at the end of a mediocre meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't justify the nickel-and-diming. The "crispy" breakfast potatoes arrived whole, not cut into pieces, and were firmer than crispy. The chai had an odd aftertaste. The burger was overly salty, and the biscuit tasted like it had been sitting around since the day before. It certainly wasn't warm or fresh from the oven. The cleanliness was also disappointing. The seat cushion where my mom was supposed to sit was visibly dirty. When we pointed it out, our server explained that guests sometimes bring dogs or put their feet on the cushions and that they try to clean them weekly. Weekly isn't enough. We were the first customers of the morning and the only people there when we arrived, so it would have been easy to seat us somewhere clean. To be fair, the courtyard is beautiful, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Those positives, however, couldn't overcome lousy food, surprise charges, and cleanliness issues. We won't be back.

Soooo delicious

Had such an amazing dinner here with my family. The service and the food was just outstanding.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream
AndyMike E.

Came in for lunch with a group of 6 on a Wednesday during DineLA. Since we made a reservation ahead of time, our table ready to go. We sat outside in the beautiful patio with plenty of share from the trees. Biggest challenge sitting outside during a February heat wave was the falling leaves and pollen on plates and in drinks. To start, I had the Fried Brussel Sprouts were yummy - the grapes added a nice sweetness and the pecorino gave the right hit of saltiness. My main was the Umami Salmon Bowl, which was a 9 out of 10, my salmon was done a bit too much on one side of the fish, but the glaze in it was delicious. The grilled broccoli added some smokiness, the pickled daikon added a crunch, and the kimchi added a spicy freshness. For dessert, I ordered the Butter Pecan Ice Cream with an amazing praline crunch. Sweet, creamy, nutty, crunch - a great way to end the meal. I ordered an espresso to balance all the sweetness.

Ask the Community - Superba Food + Bread Hollywood

What are the busiest times?

I'd say brunch and dinner.

Do they have gluten free options?

Is this the kind of place I can get a coffee and get some work done on a laptop?

I think so. It feels more like a restaurant where they want to turn over tables rather than a coffee house, but there were smaller tables too. I'd call and ask.

For brunch, do they serve mimosos or any alcohol?

Hi Brittany, Thank you for reaching out! Superba Hollywood has a full bar which features specialty… 

Do you guys have valet parking?

I believe they have valet during peak dinner and maybe brunch hours but not lunch during the day. I think.

When do you stop serving brunch?

Great question! Brunch service is from 9am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday.

I see a photo of a grain bowl, but didn't see it on the menu - is this place vegetarian-friendly?

Hi Heather! Thanks for reaching out with your question. We do have a Grain Bowl on our lunch and brunch menu. It is a Vegetarian dish. It can also be made vegan by withholding the egg. We do carry many Vegetarian and Vegan dishes and options.… 

Is the hippie burger vegan? Any other options?

No it isn't unless you get it with no bun..i think the green bean side order is vegan.

Is the patio doggy friendly?

Hi Hugo- We love dogs at Superba. Please bring your dog. We also have house made dog biscuits!… 

Do we need reservations for brunch?

While they're not required, it's probably a good idea if you can. We made them when we went.

Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

We came by Girl & The Goat early Friday evening and our only option was to sit at the bar, even…read morethough a full section of the restaurant was empty. The bar was crowded but had a fun atmosphere, as everyone was drinking and talking to each other. They felt a bit understaffed as it took quite a while to get our drinks ordered. We tried their "taking care of bee's knees" which was a gin and honey cocktail, and their seasonal special strawberry margarita. Bee's knees was tasty, it's slightly sweet with a curry after taste which was very interesting. I didn't like the strawberry margarita, it was just way too sweet for me. The glass was heavily salted and it tasted like boozy strawberry syrup, I wish it had more nuanced flavours or something to balance the sweetness. We ordered a few appetizers to split amongst us. Almost all of the food were incredible! Their dishes tend to have a great balance of salt, acid, fat and sweet. Chick pea fritters - This dish had amazing textures and flavour, and was very well balanced. The fried chick pea bites and noodles gave it a great crunch, the pomegranate seeds cut through the fat nicely with a pop of sweetness and the yogurt tied everything together perfectly. Sautéed green beans - This was my least favourite dish of the night. The flavour of the sauce was interesting and paired well with the green beans, but everything was just too greasy. You could see the layer of oil coating the green beans, then to add more cashews on top just made it really heavy. Wish there was some acid to cut through the grease. Naan & dips - I LOVE the carrot hummus. Their dips are incredibly tasty, not only are they super creamy and tasted great. They also add pomegranate seeds, fried quinoa and other toppings that gave it texture and depth of flavor. The naan itself was alright, it was pretty thin unlike traditional naan and didn't have a chewy texture. The fried garlic and green onion bits on top did make it better. Roasted Oysters - Highly recommend this dish! I am not normally a cooked oyster person, but this changed my mind. The oysters were super plump and umami since it was covered in bacon butter. It paired perfectly with the sauce, and the denser biscuit created a great vessel to soak up the fat. The bar top was definitely not enough room for all of our dishes so I would recommend making a reservation if you want a good dining experience.

This is a GREAT launching point for an evening in the area. Dinner, drinks, live music... what's not to like? First, parking. There's plenty of parking in the surrounding area, but finding a spot on a busy Friday night might require some patience. Fortunately, Manuela offers valet parking for $22, which instantly solves that problem! Finding the restaurant is part of the adventure. Tucked away within the Hauser & Wirth art gallery complex, you make your way through what feels like a little alley before discovering this hidden gem. The atmosphere is idellic! Manuela has a cool industrial-meets-rustic vibe, with exposed brick, interesting artwork, warm lighting, and plenty of greenery. The open kitchen adds energy, while the beautiful outdoor courtyard offers a more relaxed setting. A terrific combination of art, architecture, and dining! Our waiter, Luke, did a great job shepherding us through the evening. Truth be told, I never even looked at the menu! I put my trust in Luke, and he certainly didn't steer us wrong. The chicken was OUTSTANDING! Beautifully roasted, exceptionally moist, tender, and loaded with flavor. The accompanying sauces added just enough kick, and the portion was GENEROUS! My wife and I split the chicken, and there was plenty for both of us. We paired it with a delicious arugula salad featuring fresh pears, creamy goat cheese, spiced pecans, and aged balsamic. A wonderful combination of sweet, tangy, and crunchy. The pecans were particularly good! To wash it all down, I enjoyed their refreshing white sangria. Light, fruity, and VERY tasty. I could have easily enjoyed another! Now, a couple of observations. The atmosphere can get LOUD. We had a long table for six, and those seated at either end occasionally had to strain to hear the conversation. Of course, maybe I'm just getting old? LOL! Either way, it's a lively restaurant, so don't expect a quiet, intimate evening when the place is hopping. Another interesting twist: the restrooms aren't directly connected to the restaurant. You'll need to step outside and head across the way. Not a big deal, just something worth knowing. Speaking of the restrooms, ladies, apparently there's some rather unusual wall art awaiting you. Keep your eyes open for what looks like a chocolate-colored garden gnome crossed with Chewbacca. And take a CLOSE look at the interesting adult toy he appears to have discovered in the garden. Let's just say it's definitely NOT a carrot! LOL! Apparently, even the bathroom art has a sense of humor. Bottom line: We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Manuela. Excellent food, terrific service from Luke, a unique atmosphere, and an ideal location for a night out in the Arts District. The chicken alone is worth coming back for! Great food, good friends, live music afterward, and apparently a naughty garden gnome. I'd call that a successful Friday night!

I am an avid wine collector and as the customer it's the wine staffs job to make the customer happy by finding a bottle they will like, not push their misinformed opinions on the customers. Management would be served well with some re-education in the art of customer service to the wine team.

I must admit that this review is long overdue!…read more I have dined here at least 3 times with my latest at the chef's counter on a Friday evening and was the perfect date night spot. I lucked out with reservations on OpenTable last minute when they released a bunch of counter availability. Which is crazy since it's so hard to get a reservation that isn't at 9:45pm. My only concern was that we might be seated in front of the fire stove where the majority of the cooking is done because it can get hot and coupled with the the summer weather, I was worried about sweating lol. Luckily, we were seated at the opposite end and had the best view and enjoyed watching the chefs prep our meal. They don't serve cocktails here, just wine, and we started with two glasses of bubbly, which were delicious! However, when we tried to transition to the other wines available by the glass, none of them tasted that great and almost tasted too acidic or maybe had too many tanins for my liking. As a result, we reverted back to the sparkling wine. However, I do want to take a moment to express how amazing our server was because he was kind enough to let us sample all the reds by the glass before we committed to a glass. Also, I appreciated that he didn't chastise us when we didn't end up liking any of them. However, I absolutely love the food here! The one thing that you must get is the CORNBREAD! It's nothing like you've ever had before and is their signature dish. It's comforting, it's buttery and feels like home. I've also gotten the Pork and Green Chili Stew which is amazing (think Chile Verde). I've also tried their Ribeye, and for the price, I'm not sure that it's my favorite item on the menu. For my most recent visit, we ordered the following: Bluefin Tuna Toast - This was light and refreshing, but also filling since it sits on a slice of bread. This was enjoyable but I preferred the Baby Albacore. Baby Albacore - This is such a small dish and I think it only has six slices of fish, but it has so much depth of flavor and so much texture with the crispy shallots that we were tempted to order another one! This is a beautifully executed dish. And the best part was that we got to watch it being prepared in front of us. Mushroom Crusted Pork Chop - I had been reading that this was such an amazing dish, so I made sure to try it this time around! It did not disappoint! It was incredibly flavorful and rich. My boyfriend, who is not a fan of pork really enjoyed this dish. Sliced market tomatoes - this is a no-frills side dish, but felt that this was a perfect balance as something fresh and light against the rich and fattiness of the pork chop. I was worried that this would not be enough food for the two of us since I have a big appetite, but suffice to say I was very satisfied! The service is here is outstanding! I wish I got the name of my server, but he reminded me of Teddy Swims! He was attentive, friendly, and very accommodating! It was the best service I've had in a while! One last thing, I didn't try any desserts this time around, but I still very fondly remember the passionfruit icebox cake... Please bring that back!!!

Cornbread on a cast iron skillet, yes! Chili stew, yes!…read moreFresh flour tortillas, yes! Ambiance, yes! Only thing is they kinda tell the customer what to do. So when a server poured our water, I asked if we could put an appetizer in. She said no. first of all, she's not our server, I need to wait for my server. 2nd of all, I need to order everything all at once, they're not going to put in an appetizer order earlier. OK. And they wouldn't let my friend use the bathroom 15 min before our reservation bc the reservation time is right when they open. I'd come again if someone asked. Everything else was fine, but...I don't know...lots of "no, that's not how we do things at our establishment" kinda attitude. I'd rather just go elsewhere where it's more comfortable for the customer.

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 unnusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husband's favorite, 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 is also my husband's jam. 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

The French toast is out of this world!…read more I first visited République about 5-6 years ago for brunch, and the food was pretty bad. I recently went back to try their famous French toast, but they were sold out that day. We ended up ordering a burger, kimchi fried rice, and adobo fried rice, and all three were mediocre at best. A few weeks later, I gave them another shot, and OMG, the French toast was so good! It was crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. Hands down, one of the best French toasts I've ever had! The other dishes I tried were disappointing, but the French toast alone made me glad I came back. Just make sure to get there early before they sell out!
