Healthy choices

by TomCal at Citysearch

They have a great menu with lots of fairly healthy stuff to choose from. Now, I could honestly do without watching CNN while trying to digest my food - but then again it's the "Newsroom" Cafe, right?

Great place for a Healthy Lunch

by lizhawk73 at Citysearch

The Newsroom is a great restaurant for those looking to eat healthy food. They have a Newsstand full of all kinds of magazines you can read while you wait for a table. There are many celebrities there and The Ivy is right across the street so you will always see a famous person. The food and atmosphere were amazing! I just wish it didn't take so long for a table!

• Pros: Burgers, Atmosphere, Newspapers/Magazines
• Cons: Long wait for a table

Good times!

I love this place. Friday night's with Josh tending bar are great. It's not the kind of place where you go for a romantic dinner or anything other than casual, but the food is good and Josh is great at the bar. My wife absolutely loves him, so much that I may start to worry if she asks to go too often. I usually sit at the bar or do business on my laptop . I definitely recommend this place.

Exceptionally Delicious

by nettik at Citysearch

This place is in the center of hussle and bustle. So yes, parking and traffic will be some what of an issue here. But, if you want some good healthy food, then I have found few I could really recommend. The only thing that could make this place better is more delightful workers. If you are used to a country-style homelyness than this place might turn you off, but if your used to the LA vibe of where everybody is in a hurry and just trying to get through the day then you will be good here. It was delicious and had reasonable servings for the price. The biggest bonus at this restaurant is that you can get REAL freshly juiced... juice. Again, for a reasonable price too. I would go back and I would recommend this place to my friends.

• Pros: Health food, promptness, taste, juice
• Cons: Parking, traffic

Best food for health freaks!! Their veggie burgers are extremely tasty and I recommend them for people who want healthy food but dont want to sacrifice taste. The staff is very friendly and I was seated promptly. There are many celebrities there as well. Perfect for people watching.

• Pros: HEALTHY FOOD, FRIENDLY STAFF

Health Food Galore

by radiancelee at Citysearch

The hostess lacks a smile (unless I suppose you are a movie star), but the waiters are relatively friendly. The menu is filled with tofu, greens and soy, so if you are an avid meat and fat eater, do not come here. If your thing is eating healthy and staying trendy, this is the place to go and people watch. It's always busy and the smooties can be taken away (the red ape is delicious), worth a look while shopping on robertson.

• Pros: Juices and Smoothies, People Watching
• Cons: Portions too big

Healthy Food and the Meat Eater

by mike13241 at Citysearch

Getting here on a Sunday at noon I thought there would be a long wait, but we were seated promptly. My experience with health food restaurants is limited, but I found the food wonderful. I'm not a big artichoke person, but the grilled artichoke with the tofunaise was very tasty. I'd also recommend the chicken sandwich with avocado, it was fantastic. The only bad thing I have to say is the waitress we had was pretty terrible, and I felt like she was rushing. Asking her for suggestions seemed like I punched her in the stomach. Getting the check was a chore in itself. Adding to that parking is ridiculous. I was there for a little over an hour and it cost me $7 to get out of the parking structure. Find street parking if you can or park further away. The smoothies weren't anything special, Jamba Juice is better.

• Pros: great food, resonably priced
• Cons: parking, wait staff

went on a whim

by raandrace at Citysearch

I was watching Bowling for Columbine and noticed one of the interviews in the film was filmed here. The reviews I read on this site made this place sound snobby and overated. I dressed accordingly and assumed the prooper self-important attitude. The people watching IS great. For a poor boy with a Paris Hilton fetish, this place did me right. I bought a six dollar bowl of soup that was decent; I was paying for the view more than the food. Everyone looks hot, VERY L.A. Sit outside.

• Pros: hot rich people, exposed midriffs
• Cons: , they can tell I'm poo

Love it!

by hkygrl at Citysearch

This is a great place to eat for two good reasons: it has a cool, hip atmosphere and the food is about the healthiest I've ever seen. There is an odd variety so if you're picky or used to the traditional, be prepared to struggle finding something you'd want. But, for an adventurous eater, this place rocks.

Keep in mind to customize some of the things you order, like adding cheese to your omlete, because some of the things I've eaten were pretty bland before tweaking it a little.

Nice outdoor cafe, great juice bar and magazines to buy. Very cool and very much a hot spot.

• Pros: great food, healthy food
• Cons: quirky menu items
