A very nice spot if you're visiting the Gardens or if you'd like to get away from hustle bustle. Depending on the the time of day, it's a little overrun with children whose parents let them run around the restaurant, but you can ask to be seated away from them. You may have to wait a minute, but it's worth it. Can't blame the restaurant for sloppy parenting. That said, it's a family friendly place that is also a nice spot for brunch - nicer without screaming kids. Cocktails were great - bourbon cider is on for the season and everyone at the table enjoyed it. I had a bloody Mary, which was pretty basic. Food here is locally and sustainably sourced. The standout dish here was chicken and beignets, but don't expect a NOLA style beignet. It's a little more like the fried dough you find in Philly, but tasty nonetheless. Service was friendly, efficient, but not overbearing. We got everything we needed promptly.
Update: Excited to be heading back here soon! Can't wait to see what's on the menu.
I went here with my sister for a walk around Descanso Gardens and brunch. Everything we ordered was tasty, made well, and fresh. I enjoyed everything we had. It's a smaller space but I think it would still work for moderately sized groups.
First time here today. Absolutely loved it. We sat on the outside patio. We ate the breakfast burrito- which I recommend to eat with the salsa, the toast and jam-very light and natural jam, mimosas, and the beignets- which is what they are known for.
We were treated wonderfully by our server and pampered here. I know we will come back again.
Plenty of parking in the lot for Descanso Gardens. If you come on a Sunday you will hear the music being played.
Thank you for a wonderful time Jessica!
