Denae’s Diner

We stayed at the hotel and dined a few occasions at the diner. Great food, service and lovely friendly staff.

Such a cute diner and we LOVED the patio. Food was good but service was a little slow once we got the food, especially since we were out on the patio

Their Wilshire breakfast sandwich was so good!
Great atmosphere and super reasonable price for their offerings, esp. relative to other eateries nearby.

Cute place. Breakfast was good. Service was bad. If you don't want to serve people, don't work in the service industry. We had to ask for EVERYTHING!

Wonderful brunch at Denaes Diner. So good we came back the next day. Great food selection. Washes down with Mimosas.

Didn’t know the diner was in a hotel so make sure you look for the hotel, not the diner’s name! Lovely staff, especially the lady that served us. Really welcoming and patient since we weren’t sure what to get and asked for takeaway. Food was delicious, definitely recommend the chicken sandwich and their fries are seasoned really well.

Ein großartiger Start in den Tag! Dieses Frühstückslokal direkt beim Hotel Delphi in Los Angeles hinterlässt einen sehr neuen und frischen Eindruck. Der Service war ausgezeichnet – aufmerksam und freundlich. Das Essen war ebenfalls fantastisch und hat uns vollkommen zufrieden gestellt. Sehr empfehlenswert für alle, die in der Nähe sind!

Absolutely beautiful dining experience with delicious food, loved the pancakes small but have subtle flavor that's sneaks up on you leaving you wanting more along with their fries. Good place for breakfast.

A diner inside a hotel which is very convenient. Food was decent and they serve French pressed coffee which is always welcomed.

Not only is the food delicious, but the service is incredible - Hasan's management and Rachel and Chris' friendliness made us feel welcome and at home in Denae's, with delicious breakfast favourites and exciting breakfast cocktails. The al-fresco patio is private and away from the street, providing quiet and serenity in what is otherwise be a loud and bustling DTLA. We loved our breakfast experience and will definitely come again - thanks Hasan and team!

I had an experience similar to the 1-star reviews below. After finishing our meal, our server (youngish blonde lady who was working at around noon on Sept. 21, 2024) came to ask "How are you paying?" so I take out my credit card. She takes my card, and using her handheld payment terminal, she quickly charges my card without showing or telling me the total bill. Then, she only shows me the screen for me to select the tip percentage. As I didn't suspect anything at the time, I selected 20% and signed using the terminal. She didn't hand me a receipt. She then went to the back room and never came out again while we were there. I grew more and more suspicious as time passed, so I checked my credit card account later in the day, and lo and behold, I was charged $80.70 for a meal that could not have been more than ~$60 with tip included (we ordered one Caesar salad, one Griffith biscuit & gravy, one LA "BREA", and one Americano). My guess is that she targets tourists (I am a US citizen but look "foreign" and speak another language). I'm seriously considering filing a police report just so they have a record of this incident, as the other 1-star reviews seem to suggest this isn't a one-time occurrence. This restaurant (or this employee in particular) is doing some shady business practice. Terrible experience.

Breakfast was terrible, service was bad, rude servers and they overcharge when giving you the bill, it does not match what you order. Don’t waste your money there you will definitely feel bad later on.
