Extremely rude staff, it seems like they are there socializing rather than getting their job done.

To start, the wait time for 2 was 45 minutes, no problem. We waited over an hour and when we'd gotten to the front, they canceled our reservation. Eventually, we got seated next but the service wasn't even terrible, it was nonexistent lol. The waitress pointed to the table we sat at and didn't even walk us to the table. Next, our flight of mimosas spilled all over myself and my friend as the server tried to sit them at our table. FYI, you'd be better off getting plain champagne, there wasn't anything special about them honestly. Moving forward, my friend ordered sweet potato waffles...why was this plain waffles with caramel glaze and a slab of sweet potatoes on top?! I wish I was kidding. To end, we received our check and realized we didn't even receive a comp for the drinks and broken glass that was spilled on us. When asked about a discount, the server replied "we don't do that." And judging from the conversation I heard with 2 employees, the servers need more training because this was the second flight of mimosas spilled on a table today alone. We also noticed we were charged $5 for a slab of sweet potatoes thrown on top of the waffles but was labeled as "sweet potato waffles." All in all, we won't be back. The food was mid, ambiance was ehh, and service sucked.

I just walked-in on a Friday Evening around 5:45pm. The Female Greeter/Hostess at the Front-Door was sitting down and wìth a whole attitude, she said to me: "We're closed." (InMyHead: Okay, sooo why didn't they lock their Front Door...)N-E Way, I looked around & there were ha few people sitting at tables.. Also Their Website States That They Close at 11pm on Fridays.IDK what there issues are at The Court Cafe, but They Will Not Be Getting Any of My Money. If they continue to hire rude people, they will Not Be In Business For Too Much Longer.

OMG I discovered this place on IG. I’m all about supporting all the Balck owned Inglewood eateries . And this did not disappoint. Pricey and an up charge for dining in but every bite of everything was so freaking good. Treat yourself, you will be so glad you did.

Only 2 complaints - 1 restroom to be shared with both men & women - long line the entire time & our table was next to the restroom. Other complaint is we noticed there was a 10% service fee added to our receipt which was fine as we "thought" that was the tip, then walking to the car it says its just a service fee & does not go to the waitress so I had to grab cash to run in & give a tip, never was told that there would be a 10% service fee added to our bill that doesn't include the tip - disappointed on that.On the bright side, Food was simply amazing, I got to my office today to tell all my colleagues about this place - not 1 complaint on the food, gold star on the food. Never have I had such amazing food - perfection on the food !!!

We tried this place before heading to the airport. The service definitely needs improving. We waited 15 minutes before even getting on the waiting list. The young lady working the check-in was on the phone, I'm assuming taking a call in order. Anywho, after being seated, it is like everything slowed down. The service is poor. I thought we would have to take our food to go because of how long they took. In all, food was great but I probably wouldn't go back because of the service.

I’m excited to give this restaurant a 5⭐️ review. The food was so amazingly delicious that I just had to thank one of the chefs. The chicken was crispy with every bite and extremely flavorful. The tray of mimosas they offer were also very tasty and they aren’t stingy with their alcohol. I enjoyed the staff and the vibe of the establishment. I definitely will be returning asap!

The food was very good but the service was very bad, friendly waitresses but they never asked if you needed anything and the worst thing was they charged you for service in the extra bill and we were only 3 people, and besides it is very expensive the truth is I went once but I won't go back I won't.

The only complaint is the chicken couldn’t cool off fast enough, everything was great and mimosas were just right.
