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
December 2024
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!
