La Residence

Great eggs Benedict - always go here for brunch when my friends/family are in town. The inside is also super cute and all the waitresses have been really nice!

Nice ambience with a cute screened in garden space. Service was friendly and pretty fast. However, it's very much "American inspired" French food so not a place to have classic french dishes - menu (for brunch) seemed to be a mix of southern, mexican, french options. Price is very reasonable for the portion and the atmosphere. I would recommend it to people who are looking for a casual & elegant brunch while not craving for a specific kind of food.

My spouse and our friends came here for brunch following an event in chapel hill. There were several parking lots around and there was not a wait, around 11:00 on a Sunday. I got the GOAT Bloody Mary and it was good. The little grilled cheese wedges are a nice touch. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my spouse got huevos rancheros. Both of our food was a little on the cooler side of warm, which was a little bit of a disappointment. However, we did overhear our server saying they were incredibly short staffed. The chicken, minus the temperature, was 10/10 - some of the best chicken I've had. The waffle was also good, nothing special about it but it was well done. My spouses huevos rancheros were good and the pico tasted very fresh. However, it was VERY heavy on the potato's, which pretty much covered the bottom of the bowl. My spouse said it was a 3.5-4. Overall, I'd give this place a 3.5-4 for brunch.

Sooooo good. I love this place. The food is so good, especially brunch. Super pretty great for pics.

My partner and I came with another couple after an event in chapel hill. I was impressed that there was no wait and there was a lot of parking close (had to pay per hour). I had the GOAT Bloody Mary, which was very good. I felt meh about the grilled cheese but the rest was great! I had the chicken and waffles and my partner had the brunch squatch. The chicken and waffles was really good! The waffle was just okay but the chicken was bomb! My partner's food was on the cooler side was his biggest complaint. It was a lot of food! I tried the grits and didn't love them, but I'm not a huge grits fan. It was also super cute inside and had a huge bar. I loved the vibe of the decor and set up. Over all, I'd say go back for the chicken and waffles and bloody Mary's! Everything else was meh and I'd order something different next time.

Brunch... slow service, sub- par food, and tasted like folgers coffee. to be clear, folgers is fine. but not at that price.maybe and off day, but oy

Decided to have Brunch here since we were staying at hotel next door. The menu looked good, yelp reviews looked good, & a hotel employee recommended it. So we gave it a try & I hate to say it but our brunch was a major disappointment. The Staff was friendly and attentive but when I say the food was sub par it's not an exaggeration. My wife and I both ordered American breakfast- fairly simple: eggs, meat, potatoes and toast. Both our eggs were severely over cooked, - with my wife's actually being black around the edges. Her bacon was good but cold and my sausage was so over cooked I could barely cut it. It was shriveled up like jerky. We actually would have sent the food back if not for being on a strict time schedule. My son had the French toast which he enjoyed and my daughter had the grits bowl which she also said she enjoyed. The Coffee was very good but served in a tiny cup. You'll need a few refills if you're a morning coffee drinker. I will probably give them one more try when I am back in town, anyone can have a bad day but I am highly skeptical. Lastly, brunch prices are a bit steep. Could probably eat in a diner for half the price . Hope their dinner effort is better, we'll try that next time and update.

Food and service was great! Great prices and nice sized portions. Great place for large gatherings.

Went here for brunch for my husband's birthday. By far the best breakfast restaurant we have been to in CH.

Extreme disappointment. Not sure what happened to LaRes but we tried brunch. Awful.1. Beignets were tasteless, dinner roll like. No flavor just a bunch of sugar on a tasteless dough.2. Avacado toast with poached egg. The egg seemed to have been precooked and served right out of the fridge. Just plain bad.3. The worst was the croque madam. Rather than the traditional meat (ham), as the menu indicated, the chef decided to use roast pork. No indication on the menu that it was pork instead of the expected ham. It was terrible.No offer to comp or substitute. Needless to say we will not return. Terrible.
