The flavor of the corned beef hash was very acidy. The crepe was good. Hollandaise sauce was just okay.

I really wanted to like this place because it looks like a charming little café, but the food was honestly terrible for the price. My wrap was $40 (yes, forty dollars for a wrap) and it tasted like something I could have made at home with unripe avocado and dry lettuce wrapped in a paper towel. Even after adding our own salt, it was still completely bland. My friend’s crepe was dry, and the jam had a strange sour, almost rancid aftertaste. We didn’t even finish our fries, which should tell you everything.
Even after only taking a few bites, they still charged us the full $70 before taxes, and had the audacity to ask for a tip. Service was polite but distant, and no one came by to ask how things were. For a place charging that much, the least you’d expect is some flavor or freshness, but we left disappointed and lighter in the wallet.
Definitely not worth it, visiting once was more than enough. $40 for a wrap that tasted like napkins, never again.
Recommended only for people who can’t tolerate flavor.

This place is the worst unless you also have small screaming children, or you're deaf because all you hear is the scraping of the chairs, none stop! Customer service is very iffy, at best. Left with a headache from the racket.

Visited The Nook in Encino and had mixed feelings. My BLT sandwich was decent, but it was light on the bacon—disappointing given the high price. My friend’s eggs Benedict were just okay, nothing special. The service was underwhelming; we had to flag down a server in a mostly empty restaurant just to place our order. Overall, it felt overpriced for the quality and experience

Both times I’ve been here, the food and service have been very good. They have tasty iced mochas and chai lattes. The pumpkin French toast was so delicious! Only four stars on the atmosphere, just because it gets a little loud & echoey inside on a busy day. But they also have outdoor seating which is where we easily moved to. But other than that, great experiences all around!

In the heart of Encino lies an AMAZING restaurant for great Breakfast and even lunch. Visited many times already and received great service!! Also very impressed by the very Farm FRESH ingredients used in our breakfast omelettes. Everything is served in Generous portions.
We highly recommend the 1) BIG MAMA omelette made w/ egg whites, fresh spinach, veggie sausage, garlic, mushrooms, jalapeños, tomatillos sauce & mozzarella cheese. Very flavorful, light and delicious!! 2) MEXICALI Omelette = the WOW omelette Loaded with Ortega chiles, chorizo, garlic, onions, mushrooms, avocado, cilantro, jack cheese All Covered with their very own very delicious Rancheros sauce.
FYI***Just as DELICIOUS as the MEXICALI omelette but served as a Burrito is the EL GORDITO BURRITO… OMG love this too!!
3) TUTTI FRUTTI French Toast soooooo good!!! Served Fresh sprinkled with cinnamon & powdered sugar topped with strawberries & blueberries!! Very thick Great tasting toast too!!
A VERY healthy dish is hidden in their menu under EXTRA EXTRAS: the MR UNIVERSE plate with egg whites, grilled chicken & a side of broccoli. Very delicious!!
Don’t forgot to get their great tasting coffee or even a Latte. Many different choices to choose from! But my FAV is their CHAI LATTE !!! Wow!
For Lunch I highly recommend the TURKEY AVOCADO WRAP which is loaded with Turkey breast, bacon, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, arugula, tomatoes, chipotle mayo & jack cheese! So delicious!!

It is a great place with good food and very nice staff. Our burgers were cooked perfectly, med rare. The onion rings were light and crisp. Very tasty.

The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere (sitting inside) was quite loud. Other than that, no complaints. I had the lady marmalade pancakes - pumpkin pancakes with pumpkin marmalade (on the side). Soft, delicious pancakes with just the right amount of pumpkin flavor.

Love this place their food is great, very convenient. Today unfortunately I was greatly embarrassed not sure how this mistake was made but thought I’d review. I paid for my food before it was given to me. After it was given to me as I was walking away in a hugely crowded space the server who gave me my takeout order yells “you still have to pay” after her coworker corrected her letting her know I paid previously no apology. Damage was done you just yelled across a busy restaurant that I didn’t pay for my order which was incorrect. Whatever can be done in the future to mitigate mishaps like this would be greatly appreciated. It doesn’t help that I also was the only African American customer in the entire space at the time. So I watched everyone watch me as I walked out. Thanks!
