Fanny's

The best fries in LA — salty-crispy outside, soft and potato-ey inside. Burgers are fresh and juicy with perfectly toasted buns. My niece recommends the grilled cheese under the Kid’s Menu. Servers are the nicest. People have to line up to order food, but they serve the food on your table. I find that pretty efficient. Outside seating is also available.

PROS: The food is delicious (we were there for lunch and ordered the burger with fries, plus two of their pastries). The ambiance is top notch, beautiful chairs, comfortable lighting and music at the right volume. CONS: the ordering at the register process is what does not correspond to the price and quality of the restaurant, maybe they thought it would be easier to handle when the museum is packed, but it detracts from the overall experience. The service is not the greatest, maybe due to the same reason (no spoons were given to eat our dessert, we had to get up and ask for one). Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would be back.

You want to celebrate your father's 100 birthday but you also want to keep the affair modest in size because of Covid-19 but just a little out of the ordinary and just a little extra special and hopefully memorable. Fanny's fit the bill perfectly. Thank you to all the staff and event manager Lauren Aparicio for all their patience and the excellent selection of Tartine Custard Toast, Sweet Potato Caesar, Smoked Salmon and Meatballs brunch, mixed drinks and excellent vibe to the whole affair. The man of the hour was talking about it for many, many days. Thank you to the museum for creating such a great setting!

This Restaurant is located inside one of my favorite Museums in Los Angeles, it’s called The Academy Museum. So this is a very convenient place to eat or grab a drink while visiting the museum.

I love the atmosphere of this place and the cafe items are pretty good.

Here are a few things I think they should work on:

- Paying at the register and then bringing a ticket number to the table, just seems a bit tacky in my opinion. Would rather be greeted by a host and seated.

- The waiters don’t really interact with you, the experience and service just feels transactional. I think when you’re paying the prices like Fannys charges… the customer service should feel a bit more personalized and welcoming.

- My friend ordered a quiche and they gave it to him ice cold. When I mentioned it to the waiter, instead of just offering to heat it up… she tells us "we serve it French style, which is cold."

I definitely visit this place a lot and see the potential. So I will continue to support this establishment! Just a few things I believe could be improved on.
