Healthy Options That Taste Good

by Michael Fran at Citysearch

The food is great and the healthy options are everywhere. Can't go wrong ordering from the sandwich menu -- the veggie burger and the turkey sando are good. The chinese chicken soup -- not salad -- is really good. And the juice/coffee bar is great. Servers sometimes take 20 minutes between table visits and unfortunately parking on Robertson is a nightmare. Don't trip running here, but when you wind up in the restaurant, you'll definitely enjoy it.

• Pros: Juice Bar, Sandwiches, Chinese Chicken Soup
• Cons: Servers, Parking

Pretty good roasted artichoke

by marpop at Citysearch

Food here isn't outrageously fantastic, but for what it is -- a casual, bustling lunch spot -- it gets the job done. The fire-roasted artichoke (which the waiters will tell you is 'amazing') is pretty good, but not amazing. (The best I've had is at Pace in Laurel Canyon.) There's a long magazine stand inside the main restaurant, so if you're alone and want to read a mag while you eat, it's convenient. I'd pass on most of the desserts, but the salads are ok.

• Pros: casual, fairly fast service
• Cons: parking i guess

'News'Flash: We Serve No Meat!

by therealdiningdiva at Citysearch

Calling all vegans/vegetarians, whatever...If health food is YOUR thing unlike mine, this will be your mecca. Only healthy food graces the pages of their menu. Service was good though. Since this restaurant is located directly across from The Ivy, watch your step when leaving. You just might trip over some papparazi.

Breakfast Scene

by princess_malin at Citysearch

This is a prime people-watching spot. Go for breakfast and brunch, but expect a wait on the weekends. The food is kind of artsy and innovative -- and definitely healthy -- but that can become a problem, too. Some dishes just lack that extra little something, probably because cutting out the fat sometimes sacrifices flavor. That said, there's plenty of goodies to try. Pancakes, waffles and skillet corn bread are all excellent. Juice is supreme as well, though a bit pricey. Eggs are OK, not as good as the sweeter offerings.

• Pros: People-watching, The juice
• Cons: Long waits, Too healthy

Good location

by jhung12 at Citysearch

The place is large and gets a lot of sun and air...which is perfect for SoCal. The food was just whatever. I tried their breakfast, pasta, and vegetarian dishes, and none of those were anything but average. As for the service, the waitress took our order promptly and brought the food out quickly. However, I couldn't get her or anyone to get me some ketchup for 10 minutes.
