Destroyer in Culver City is a nice place for breakfast. it is nothing to write home about. but it is just fine. The place is clean and cute and the service is nice. We have been once and won't be back because they are too pricey for what you get and there are other places that are much better a block or two away.
They also have the now popular fee for nothing in my opinion. It is on the bill and most don't notice it and just pay it. I will not. I have spoken to employees from many places, including this one about the fee and what they get out of it, the answer is always nothing, they get nothing. Most are not considered full time and get no benefits at all. On the website they state: "A 4% Healthy LA charge will be added to each guest check to ensure health and medical benefits for all of our valued full time team members. In support of this initiative, the entirety of the charge is retained by the company. If you would like this charge removed, please let our staff know. Thank you for supporting our staff." The company gets it, most employees are not full time, not by their choice but by Destroyer.
Their raw oatmeal is good as are their egg dishes.

I really can say it’s the best brunch I’ve ever had. Especially /porridge/ is surprisingly tasty. The ingredients of /loaded avocado/ are very posh as well. Highly recommended, will come again for sure. ?

The waffle I ordered was so salty. The braised kale seemed to be braised for longer maybe but I had to take out 80% of braised kale to taste other ingredients in the dish. My bf’s chicken schnitzel was also underwhelming with no flavoring in the chicken. It was very imbalanced and nothing went together. Everything tasted fresh but that’s really it. I wouldn’t drive here from downtown unless my mother really wanted to go here which she won’t lol.

I recently dined at destroyer and had an unfortunate experience. After eating there, I developed severe symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhea, that were concerning enough to require an ER visit. Despite this, the restaurant refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the issue. I believe food safety and customer health should be top priorities for any establishment, and this experience has been deeply disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes steps to improve food handling and hygiene practices to prevent this from happening to others.

It seems to be a popular place in Culver City these days. The atmosphere is also good for brunch. After ordering in the restaurant, all the tables are only placed outside. You can also buy kitchenware items inside. The food is very delicious to match the feel of a modern eurpian restaurant. Matcha Americano were also great for drinks. The bathroom is a little unique.
Food is miserably overpriced. Everything was tasty but not distinctive or interesting enough to justify the prices. I spent $50 for an avocado toast, poached egg for an extra fee, and a coffee, and sat on a stool in the street to eat it. Would not recommend

Food is delicious. Menu is difficult to read. They add a surcharge to hide extra fees instead of just increasing prices.

The food here is the obvious draw.. but more often than not, I come here simply for the coffee. Destroyer has absolutely delicious coffee and always served piping hot. Best latte in the area by far.

A quaint restaurant in a deep industrial zone.
I had the Gruyere & Speck Danish and the Smoked Cod.
The Danish was perfection. It had a great flaky dough and a nice savory rich inside.
The smoked cod was a little underwhelming. The cod wasn't a big standout in the dish itself. I can't really say the dish was tasty. It certainly felt healthy and nice for a brunch, but I wish the smoked fish had that strong savory presence that it usually does.
