“We came from Toronto and wanted something kid friendly my wife came accross this restaurant on google and we came here for breakfast. What a place food quality was on point and service was amazing.Thank you so much for a great morning breakfast.“
“We had a fantastic brunch experience! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the service was top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had chilaquiles. The portions were generous, absolutely delicious and the prices were a little high but it was worth it . We'll definitely be back for another tasty brunch!"“
“If I could leave 100 stars for the service and atmosphere I would. This is a historic Googie design building by architect Helen Liu Fong which is what drew me here. Food is standard diner fare and our server was really good humored and funny.“
“Located in Studio City and serving patrons since 1964, Vivian’s is a classic diner option in the valley. It’s very small on the inside with only a few large tables. They also have more seating in the back, but we were able to find a seat for two in the front for a 10:30 Sunday brunch. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot so it will be metered street parking, which is not that hard to find in the valley. Our server was polite and all of our items came out quickly. I am giving 4/5 stars because the food quality isn’t as good as some other places close by like More Than Waffles, Bob’s, or Paty’s and the inside could use a cleaning. The floor was very dirty under our table and the table next to us even complained about it.I started off with a Coffee, which is my go to order at any diner. For my meal I chose the Eggs Benedict with a Biscuit on the side. The Eggs Benedict had a nice flavor but the eggs were undercooked and runny. They did not have the true poached consistency with the yolk covering the dish, it was too watery and splashed out as soon as I cut into it. Also the biscuit was as flat as an English muffin and really lacked the biscuit or buttermilk flavor. We also ordered the 2x2x2 and the pancakes were actually very good, but it’s also very hard to mess up pancakes. It was not a bad meal by any means, but certainly not as good of one as others I have had close by on the same street.Overall I would say it could be an option if you’re already in the valley and the more popular spots have too long of wait times.Parking: no parking lot, only metered street parkingWheelchair accessibility: no stairs or incline to enter/exit“
“I just went to Red Maple Cafe for the first time today and really enjoyed the experience. My wife mother and daughter all loved our food and the ambiance. The fried chicken and waffles were very flavourful and unique because of the blackberry sauce they served with the waffles. The fried chicken was juicy crispy and flavorful. The blackberry sauce also mixed nicely with some hot sauce! The brisket burrito my wife got was very good, flavorful and tender brisket. Their house breakfast potatoes were also very good. Spiced but not spicy so that even my daughter approved and enjoyed. Their custom coffees were very fun too as you can have them take a picture of your choosing and put it on the cream of their coffee!Our server Brian was also excellent and attentive. Very helpful and patient. We could not have asked for a better first experience and server.Thank you Red Maple we will be back !“
“I can't say enough good things about this place—it's absolutely amazing! The food is excellent, the service is fantastic, and the setting is stunning. The spacious interior boasts beautiful decor, and the menu offers a wide variety of options with generous portions. I especially loved the freshly squeezed orange juice with the mimosas. The staff went above and beyond, warmly welcoming my sister, myself, and her small service dog. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again!“
“what a great find!! maxine's is an adorable cafe with a cozy interior and great food. this place has probably the best biscuits and gravy i've had in all of LA - the gravy has a lot of sausage and is actually seasoned well. the biscuit is light and fluffy and buttery. its also only $12!! i also got am omelet which was a little underdone for my tastes, but the chili bean sauce it came with was fantastic. their fresh oj is great and service was awesome too. everyone was very down to earth and kind. there isn't too much seating because it's quite small but there are 2 tables for larger parties, the seating is all handmade wooden benches and tables. im so happy to have found this place so close to home :)“
“One of my customer referred to me this cafe I have tried today’s was delicious I’m Mexican I’m a cook I’m enjoy a authentic Mexican food this cafe is so far from my own experience the best I have enfrijoladas for me my husband try the chorizo burrito breakfast was 10 out 10 delicious ?“
“It was very busy observing the holiday but this staff was kicking butt. They were still friendly and kind. I forgot to ask for a receipt and they were so accommodating despite being busy. I got a cappuccino and the lox. Very yummy! Will be back!“
“I wish there was more seating, that said… the food was SO GOOD! This was one of the tastiest meals we had. It was breakfast on our way to roam around Venice and it was really good. I highly recommend it but know you will likely be eating in your car, if you don’t mind that you will love it.“
“Really sweet place with a quiet cheel vibe, old timey decor, filled with little pictures and you can see the cook working through the little window.Food was great, arrived piping hot, hashbrowns were crispy on the outside but hearty and soft on the inside, omellete was cooked great and with the right amount of additions(i took feta, mushrooms, spinach), toast was hot but not burnt, pancake soft and yummi, only thing i would improve is capuccino arrived too hot to drink with my meal.Waitress was very kind and sweet with a good service attitude. Place was full but i still got service and my food quickly.“
“Great fast food breakfast joint a little indulgence over egg McMuffin.I love eggs and this serves me right. Eggs were super fluffy and the buns are velvety airy but buttery. I can almost finished whole thing in 3 bites. Truffle fries were great too!I think the celebrity loves them too ? ( Is this Timothee Chalamet?“

“Today was my birthday ?. I wanted nice ambiance, good food and excellent service. Crustaceans is the place we started with champagne, crab ? cakes and delicious delicate wontons, truffle Caesar, accompanied by lemon drop martini and for main course garlic noodles & Dungeness Crab. Absolutely delicious ?“
“We had Sunday brunch here, there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. The service was fast, and the brunch was good, The chicken taco was marinated perfectly, the blue jam Benedict was also good, the potatoes on the side was lacking taste, maybe some salt would have added to the taste. The iced coffee seemed very sweet to me. The ginger shots were good.“
“My family and I always enjoyed the elegant, understated atmosphere with a generous touch of great service and delicious menu choices. The coffee is simply the best!Kid-friendliness: We always stayed with our two children. Lovely. The staff was always kind and accommodating .“
“Great place to eat breakfast or brunch & we got there after noon time and this place was amazing. Their serving is big and very good and we were impressed how good the food was and would come back again if we are in the neighborhood. I had the Chicken & Waffle, my wife had Matcha Pancake and this place have so much choices. The service and the area was great and I can highly recommend it“
“Best brunch party! I wasn’t expected to be this crazy on a Sunday afternoon. We came for a birthday and the birthday girl had a blast. I mean we all had such a good time. The food and good but the drinks are better! Get bottle service for costume “
“Unfortunately it is not Zuckerwaffles. I came here after reading that they used pearl sugar and I hoped it would taste like Belgium and shops in the USA that make it (Waffles and Dinges in NYC for example or Zinneken's Belgian waffles in Boston). They're very good waffles but not Liege Zuckerwaffles. SUPER nice staff, service is Great! As long as you aren't dying for Zuckerwaffles, try it. ? If you want those, either East coast or Belgium?“
“CUTEEEE, I've heard of U Dessert Story in SF and was excited to hear they were opening in Santa Monica along a brunch spot! The location is beautiful and interior is so fun for brunch. The wait has been popping off so I'd recommend joining the waitlist early! I had the breakfast plate with their millionaire bacon and the scone was my absolute favorite- literally the best scone I've had lol!!!“
