The Eclectic

Delicious breakfast and great service! I ordered the crab cake Benedict with avocado it was so perfect the eggs were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was awesome and even the music was cool. Sunday Brunch with bottomless mimosas

Radicchio Trevisio Salad with fresh mozzarella, basil, lemon vinaigrette, mango, basil oil, sea salt. ~ Mine didn’t come with basil, perhaps that’s why the presentation was left wanting.
Lemon Pepper Tortilla Soup with tomatoes, California dry peppers, jalapeño peppers, Serrano peppers, corn, cilantro, onions, avocado cream. ~ Creamy goodness with a sumptuous, spicy kick.
North Pacific Swordfish Sandwich lightly blackened with roasted red peppers, house made tartar sauce, butter lettuce, Monterey Jack, tomatoes, grilled ciabatta, house made slaw. ~ Dry fillet unsaved by the tartar sauce, a single piece of roasted red pepper, but the slaw slaughtered it — cabbage was obviously old with dark patches and browning edges.
North Seas Wild King Salmon grilled with lemon caper berry beurre blanc, mascarpone risotto, baby winter vegetables. ~ Good enough.
Staff ~ Attentive, friendly, welcoming.
Parking ~ I was told behind the martial arts studio but there’s hardly any spot at any time, it’s unclearly marked which spot/​s is/​are for the establishment, city slots are limited to one hour, and good luck with street parking in apartment colony. We wanted to stay for dessert but this is one downer which made us skip it.

We came in for dine LA and really enjoyed everything! The only negative was our three course meal lasted over an hour and half, so they could have served in between courses a bit faster and initially it took 25 minutes to get our first course which was just soup. The soup was really good, spicy tortilla with avocado cream. Second course I picked the Japanese noodles with veggies which was pretty light, the veggies were cooked exactly right, and for dessert I had the shortcake with berries. The shortbread wasn’t soft enough and tasted pretty bland but the cream and berries helped with the flavor. All in all good experience!

I threw my best friend’s Bridal Shower at The Eclectic. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. And with a party of 18 girls, that’s not an easy task!
From the first emails back and forth with the owner Laura, to every refill of our bottomless mimosas, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Laura was so helpful and extremely easy to set things up with. She made sure it was affordable and that I would have everything I wanted on the day. Then on the day of, the second I walked in the door the manager Erik greeted me with a big smile, helped me bring in my bags of decorations, and didn’t hesitate to make us all comfortable the entire time we were there. He even asked my bride if there was a certain kind of music she wanted him to put on. He was so attentive and very kind. Our server Amanda was so good about making sure all of my ladies had everything they needed. And she did it with a smile! What an upbeat and friendly gal. The staff here is amazing.
Brunch was yummy (honestly it’s my favorite brunch place in LA. I can’t shut up about their Braised Short Ribs Omelette) (Eggs Benedict is another fave!) and our champagne glasses were never empty.
They really helped make my friend’s Bridal Shower absolutely perfect. I’ve been a neighbor and a long time customer here… I can’t even express enough how wonderful this place is. Best brunch in town (ummm Saturday AND Sunday brunch, yes please!).

Food got better, suddenly. The owner finally cleaned up the dumpster in the back. Now if only he could keep it on his property and not on city property that would be great

They said bottomless mimosas until 3. But they ran out at 130. Left pur party dry. Poor form

BRUNCH… Started the year out with Eclectic’s fab Sunday brunch.(yes.mimosas to infinity) I had the most amazing Short Rib omlette & others had Biscuits & Gravy, Eggs Benedict and it was one of the most delightful brunches we’ve had. Easy parking on the street this time & our waiter was a Anthony Perkins (Psycho) double, but as nice as can be! Love it !!

I went to The Eclectic for the first time on Sunday and boy was the brunch amazing. $ 25 for an entrée and bottomless mimosas is unbeatable! Also, the food was just amazing. I have a dairy allergy and my waiter Drew was so attentive to my needs. He double checked on ingredients and clarified my food was good to go! He also had a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed our time there.

I love this place. They are very accommodating, and the staff is incredibly nice. I love going there for brunch. I get their vegetable omelette and an iced café mocha. I deducted one star because they are on the expensive side, but then again, they are in the NoHo Arts District. I look forward to many more meals there.

Ehhhhh.
I went for brunch thought the food was lame. I ordered the crème brûlée french toast which was overpriced for the portion. Image two round pieces of bread just slightly larger than the size of english muffins on a tiny appetizer plate and that’s IT for $ 16! I’ve had crème brûlée french toast the size of birthday cake before for less money and it tasted way better. To top it off, there was no crusty crème brûlée texture at all. It was just completely normal, average french toast (again, for $ 16!) The syrup was watery, too and for this price should have been real maple syrup.
My whole party felt the same, the food was just kinda «blah.» Not enough flavor. My friends did enjoy the bottomless mimosas, which in contrast to my meal was a pretty good deal at $ 25 a person including food.
If you wanna get drunk in the morning, come here. If you want an excellent breakfast go elsewhere. I would recommend EAT around the corner, Aroma café, or the BEST breakfast around, Good Neighbor Restaurant!

AH! Run for you life! Gordon Ramsey needs to come and save this place!!!
GROSS food! NO, truly gross and way, way overpriced! If you are like me, you remember this place from long-​ago when it used to be the bomb. It is no longer. I think they have new owners and NASTY, nasty old, mushy, under-​cooked, bland, tasteless, expensive food and BAD service.
Considered yourself WARNED!

Always passed by this place and never thought anything of it! It ended up being a really good spot!
Reasonable pricing and quite delicious!

This place is so much fun! The food had a true southern vibe and the best part… they encourage that you wear your pajamas on Sunday! Every server, host and bar tender is beyond friendly! You will have such a great time, GO!
P. S. Did I mention the pajamas are encouraged on Sunday!!!
Also, 90’s music makes brunch everything you ever wanted it to be.

Love the atmosphere, and they have a wonderful selection of cocktails, wine, and food. Our waitress Jordyn was wonderful! She was very sweet and attentive, and had great recommendations for everything we ordered. Thank you for the incredible service!

Tasty and well worth the price for brunch. $ 25 gets you a nice brunch selection and unlimited champagne or mimosas. The service was on point, super friendly and fast with the champagne refills. We both had the chorizo scramble with no tortillas and a side of fruit. Delicious and suprisingly filling. Can’t wait to go back!

So I came here for happy hour and it was great! Great prices ($ 5 wine, $ 5-​$ 8 appetizers), good food, good ambiance. Had an event that I was planning and looked around and thought it would be great to have it there. Came back Saturday afternoon to book a reservation for 20 ppl for the following day, Sunday. Wasn’t sure what to expect since it was last minute. Spoke with Erik, the manager, and he really accommodated us! He even did a set menu for us and everything, it was great!
The ladies had a great time. Worked out that we did the bottomless mimosas Sunday brunch. Can’t go wrong with that! Food was delicious, nice portions. Service was great. I wasn’t expecting it to be as crowded as it was so it was a little difficult for our group to hear each other, but hey, when you have had your 3^rd mimosa, it ‘s not that big of a deal!
I would definitely return!

Great place to have dinner and drinks with friends!
I ordered the warm steak salad, and one of my friends ordered the dine LA option. The steak salad was good but not amazing, I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. As far as the dine LA meal, I had a taste of the lobster quesadilla and chocolate /​peanut butter pie, and both were pretty good, especially the pie.
The hostess and servers were very nice, but the food and drinks came out abnormally slow (the restaurant wasn’t crowded). Because we were catching up, we didn’t mind the long wait, but I have a feeling I will next time.
There is parking in the back, but not a lot, so I had to circle around the lot a few times to find a spot. There is also some street parking and I believe there is valet as well.
Overall, 3.5−4 star experience.

EXPERIENCE:
A few Unilocalers and I came here for a bite before an event nearby. The outside isn’t much to look at, just as the neighboring storefronts in the area, but the interior is quite clean and modern.
Upon arrival we were seated and handed menus. While drooling over the menus, a couple small plates of complimentary Bruschetta al Pomodoro were delivered to our table.
We ordered:
Roasted Beet Salad
Butter lettuce, soledad farms organic goat cheese, hearts of palm, candied walnuts, lemon zest, port wine balsamic vinaigrette. I’m not a beet person or a fan of goat cheese, so I passed on tasting, however, grubber enjoyed the salad. Just the right about of lettuce to fixins and it wasn’t doused with dressing.
Salmon Burger
Fresh king salmon filet, Roma tomatoes, avocado, butter lettuce, pickle spears, basil mayo, portuguese brioche bun, peperoncini. This hold the tomato burger, please, although had a lot going on to make it wet, was a bit dry, at least the salmon was and I was sorely disappointed. Although my mouth watered thinking about salmon and avocado, two of my favorite things, once I took a bite, my mouth went dry from the overcooked dry salmon.

Sunday brunch… Got there at 11am, no wait. You can make reservation but we did not.
Nice covered outdoor seating area. Inside there are a few tables and a bar. Not too large of a place really.
Clean bathroom.
Street parking
Decent service, friendly
Ordered the eggs Benedict. Very tasty, good hollandaise sauce. Potatoes weren’t anything special. $ 12
Sausage was good. $ 5
Fruit was good, not much melon which is always nice. $ 6
Toast was good but you only get the 2 triangles so we ordered 4 orders. (The eggs Benedict says it comes with a side of bread but I guess they figure that’s the English muffin :/​) $ 3
Bottomless mimosas, now this is really the reason we went here! They were great and they kept our glasses full. ($ 25 gets u bottomless + an entrée)
They also have a make you own Bloody Mary bar which I so badly want to go back and try!

The Service: Great! Very professional & attentive. All the staffs are efficient. Great atmosphere, very energetic scene.
The Food:
Lobster bisque — less than warm. Taste almost like cold soup. So-​so flavor. But do have big piece of lobster in the soup.
Goat cheese salad — good portion, greens, sun dried tomato, pine nuts & goat cheese. Light dressing. Refreshing.
Seabass — 2 pieces of grilled seabass, potato & salad on the side. $ 28. Wish bigger portion.
The Parking: parking behind the alley (FREE) & street metered parking
