I had a chance to try the new brunch menu at the Larchmont Grill this weekend. Let me start off by saying that the coffee served at the LG is amazing. I can't tell you how important coffee is to a good breakfast. I had the mini-muffin starter which was very fresh and FREE. My friend had the yogurt parfait which looked a little runnier than I like, but apparently tasted good. After our starters and coffee, I had the lemon ricotta pancakes, and my friend had one of their omelettes. My pancakes had that perfect balance of moist and fluffy, if that makes sense.
Overall, the menu just seems more thoughtful than most of the brunch choices in LA. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. There is a small parking lot, but parking is very easy in that neighborhood. Service was attentive, atmosphere was comfortable, and the space is tastefully decorated. Great place to meet friends, no wait for a table, and a free starter...HELLO! I will be back.
Pros: Easy to get a seat
Cons: Easy to drive past if you don't have GPS
