7.9
A 28-year Los Feliz fixture built inside a converted craftsman house, where the draw is a sprawling garden patio with koi ponds, twinkling lights, and a treehouse — a setting that elevates straightforward comfort-food brunch beyond what the menu alone delivers. The kitchen lands solidly on egg-forward plates like huevos benedictos on corn sopes and challah french toast, though some sides and dinner items show less polish. Weekend brunch is walk-in only and fills by 9:30am, so this works best as an early-arrival group outing where the courtyard atmosphere does most of the heavy lifting.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes — the garden patio with string lights, lush foliage, and a koi pond creates an effortlessly romantic setting without being stuffy. The Craftsman-style interior has cozy rooms with warm lighting. Noise is moderate; weekday evenings are calmer and more conversation-friendly than weekends. Valet parking is available, which is a nice touch. Request a patio table for the best atmosphere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? For dinner, book ahead — reservations are available online and recommended at least 24 hours in advance, especially on weekends. Weeknight dinners are easier to snag. For Saturday and Sunday brunch, it's walk-in only with no reservations accepted — arrive before 9 a.m. to avoid waits of 45–60 minutes at peak. You can grab drinks at the bar while you wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the atmosphere is casual and relaxed, especially on the patio, and families with children are a regular sight. A kids menu is available with well-priced options. Birthday celebrations with kids are common. High chair availability is not confirmed online — call ahead to verify if you need one.
Is it good for groups? Yes — the spacious patio is well-suited for group dinners. For larger parties, email the restaurant directly to discuss arrangements. There's also an adjacent spot called The Guest House next door that offers a private room option for more contained gatherings. Exact max party size is not listed online — contact them to confirm capacity and lead time for group bookings.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — the patio is one of the biggest draws. It's a lush, garden-like space shaded by large trees, with string lights, dense foliage, a koi pond, and its own bar. Dog-friendly. It fills up fast during weekend brunch and pre-Greek Theatre evenings. Whether heaters are available for cooler nights is not confirmed — call to check.
