The food and service was amazing. We went here last night thinking we may get breakfast, however, only dinner was available. This was a very happy mistake as we found a great locally owned restaurant that has a great atmosphere. The food was amazing. We ordered the Soup of the day (pearl barley) and it was fantastic. The bread paired very well with the soup. My wife ordered the Vienna Schnitzel (chicken) and it was great, flavorful and not greasy. I ordered the spicy shrimp pasta and it was very flavorful with enough spice to know it is hot without being overpowering.The creme brûlée and pear&cinammon strudel was a great way to top off the evening. It was one of the best meals we have had in a while. We are planning on returning at some point for breakfast. A local at the table next to us said it was amazing.I highly recommend.

Great breakfast/very casual brunch spot in Culver City, but be prepared to wait on weekends. Good news is that they keep things moving so the wait is not too bad, particularly if you are ok to sit outside. Just make sure to wear something warm. Unfortunately, I was eating alone so did not get to sample the varied menu. Here is what I can say, fresh OJ really is just squeezed so if you are a fan, great way to start. Latte is excellent too, but you may want to tell them to hold it till your food comes if you are having something else to drink. Or, you can just cover the cup with the saucer and keep it warm till the food arrives, which is reasonably quick. Saw a number of people say in other reviews. that the banana special pancakes are too rich but I did not find them anything but outstanding. I did have the spicy Italian sausage as a side, which helps offset the sweetness of the pancakes. If you have more people, I would recommend getting an omelette or eggs Benedict (which looked great wizzing past my table) and then getting one of the pancake dishes to split amongst the group. Service was fast and no nonsense, which was fine by me. In short, definitely going back particularly after going to the gym so I can earn my meal. Pro tip: parking out front is not easy too find so just go around the block and park on Washington behind the restaurant (which is on Washington Place) and cut straight through one of the driveways or lots that go back to back between the two streets.

Breakfast here is amazing! The spinach and garlic scramble was so garlicky and deliciousThe fresh fruit cup did not disappoint. Fresh fruit side--seems like such a non-issue but Metro's is a big deal! Fresh raspberries, pomegranate, persimmon, pineapple...so unexpectedly seasonal and really well done.

This place's omelettes were so unique. It is an open omelette concept with all the fillings outside of the omelette. I felt like there were too many asparagus in the seasonal veggie one and it overwhelmed me. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly. The smashed potatoes were crispy and seasoned well. The orange juice was freshly squeezed, I would definitely recommend getting this! The staff were quick and friendly. It is a simple cafe and perfect for breakfast.

Quick service to sit. Free parking lot in back too. Outside is nice if you don't mind hearing cars drive by! Food was delicious. I liked the bananas on the pancakes but the pancakes aren't anything special. Potatoes were decent but not my favorite type.

I went here on a Saturday morning for brunch. Service was great and friendly staff!Food was okay. Basic pancakes, omelettes, and sandwiches. Nothing stood out bad or very good food wise. Pancakes were large and fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was enjoyable and very filling. I would recommend this place for a casual al fresco brunch.

I came here on a Saturday morning with my boyfriend - we were seated immediately inside, no reservation was needed!Allllll of the wait staff were so so kind, we had multiple different people constantly checking on us and ensuring we were doing okay, it was just so thoughtful!I ordered the California Scramble, subbed potatoes for fruit and added cheddar cheese, and a freshly squeezed orange juice. The number one thing that stood out to me was how FRESH my entire meal tasted. Like it had the freshness of someone having just picked these veggies from a garden out back, it honestly took me off guard! I absolutely LOVED it. From the juice to my fruit and veggies in my scramble, not a single ounce of freshness was spared. This was seriously a job well done for me.As for the ambiance, it wasn't too loud at all! We opted to sit inside only because it was cold outside but I felt the volume was totally reasonable inside.For 2 meals with 2 drinks, we spent a little over $60 and came home with leftovers! Parking is just a little tricky but that's Los Angeles for ya.

The food here was amazing! I've been to many brunch spots and this is one of the better ones. I highly recommend the banana pancakes and salmon Benedict. The potatoes that come with the Benedict were surprisingly good. Came here on a Saturday late afternoon and the wait wasn't that bad. I was second on the list and got seated within 5 minutes. The food took a while to prepare, about 15 minutes. This is a family spot and kid friendly. The staff here is cool. I did street meter parking. I had no issues finding parking however I can foresee it being a problem for others! They close at 3 pm for brunch and open again at 6pm for dinner. As for reservations, they do not take reservations for brunch and only take reservations for dinner. The restaurant was located on the sidewalk merged with a travel lodge incase people can't find it.

The burgers were good but we're a little too over priced for what they are. They seemed super easy to make and a bit basic, still good though. Service was good too, we were checked up on a few times and sat outside. We didn't sit inside but outside was nice and clean in the surrounding area and felt safe without being bothered

Great brunch place that can get very busy on a Sunday. We waited maybe 20 mins after putting name down on the waitlist for a table of 5.They have some unique breakfast platters on the menu. I opted in for Serbia Americano which contains:- Two toasters (you can choose bread type. I chose sour dough).- Scrambled egg with tomatoes and bacon- 3 slices of pork (an acquired taste and too salty for me)- Hash brown- 3 generous portions of mozzarella. Love it!- 1 bite of cantaloupe Definitely a filling meal even after our morning hike! Service was fast and friendly. I would come back in future.
