I had some friends in from out of town today and made sure to put Grub on our late morning itinerary. As always, I came out looking like a superstar because everyone loved it and had a great time.Food is always good...server's are always smiling and the ambiance always makes me feel like I've left L.A. for a bit.
The reason I'm writing is that my server mentioned that they won the Best Breakfast award on CitySearch so it prompted me to check it out.
I was a little blown away by seeing the previous comment where an obviously dissatisfied customer tossed out some pretty strong accusations. Now I know that in a public forum everyone is free to say whatever they want but from my perspective I have a pretty hard time believing ANYONE at Grub would be overtly rude. And as far as being discriminatory I don't think that's in the realm of reality.
I've been to Grub probably 30 or 40 times over the past few years and as one who has personally felt the hand of race discrimination I can't imagine that ever taking place at Grub. Now I know this is a restaurant site and discrimination probably isn't the general topic of conversation but for people to toss that out there without anything to back it up is pretty lame. My guess? A competitor trying to take the winds out of the sails of a very cool spot. I met a guy at a party once who bragged that he would leave bad reviews on Yelp and other sites just to hurt his competitors business. Not cool.
So trust me on this one. Grub rocks. :)
Pros: Food, Service, Environment

Recently moved to the block. La Poubelle has the best drink prices and best food that I've found in the hood. Really good Happy Hour that includes appetizers... and I just discovered that they have $6 martinis on Mondays now! I'm in.

Last night was our first time at Cliff's Edge; it has been recommended to us by several friends. My husband and I love to try new restaurants, especially in our new neighborhood. This one exceeded our expectations. We were seated at an indoor table, close to the bar area, which looks like a great place for just drinks. The room had low lighting, but you could still easily read menus without needing a flashlight. The "bench" seats along the walls have really comfortable, long pillows on them. Although the tables are somewhat close together, the acoustics were ideal -- the soft background music added a white-noise effect so you didn't feel like you were intruding on your table neighbors' conversations. The wait staff was very attentive. Our waiter brought bread, dipping oil and water as soon as we were seated and took our drink orders. While perusing the menu, another waitress came by and told us our waiter was also tending to a large group, so she could take our order if we were ready before the waiter returned. We started with an order of french fries and gorgonzola dipping sauce. The fries were thin, crisp, and lightly salted. The gorgonzola was a pleasant change from the typical ketchup. My husband ordered the pork loin medallions, which came with greens and some other vegetables. I ordered the halibut special, which was pan seared, and accompanied by broccolini and squash, and a lovely saffron sauce. The food was incredibly fresh, and the seasonings complemented the food, versus overwhelming it. The portions were perfect, and we each cleaned our plates and were comfortably full. We each had an after-dinner drink. The bill was $116, including an 18% tip, which by Los Angeles standards is a good value considering everything was top-notch. We look forward to go back again, and bringing friends and family when they visit us.

I have probably been to Stella about 15 times. The food is always good, but you can never go wrong with the beet salad and the moules frites. Dip the delicious bread in the white wine sauce....yum!!
Stella is a lovely dining experience, the ambiance is great and the service is consistently pleasant. Only once did I experience a less than accommodating hostess but the odds are in their favor.
Stella is my neighborhood fav!
Pros: ambiance, the food, the patio
Cons: more meat dishes that fish or vegetarian but that is only a con if you don't eat meat.

I absolutely love going to this place. The atmosphere is sophisticated, yet young. The servers are knowledgable and friendly. The food is fantastic. Stop by for a great Sunday brunch or dinner any day of the week. They use all LaBrea Bakery breads, which are fabulous and fresh (the bakery is attached to Campanile). Every meal you get here is fantastic!
