Best Brunch Restaurants in Sherman Oaks

Service was excellent and the food delicious, we had a great cozy corner table inside as it was a little chilly out but the outside is really lovely as well. Live the shared plates and everything was super yummy.

I was there on Friday night for a birthday dinner of 14 people, unknowingly the same restaurant I made reservations for a Saturday brunch. The food and service were excellent Friday night. Came back Saturday for a birthday brunch of five people. Sonia, our server, was amazing, and Kyle, the manager, was very accommodating! Great restaurant, atmosphere, service, and food! 👍🏽

This year, I made the deliberate choice to spend Christmas Day at El Torito, a decision that proved to be exceptionally rewarding. The ambiance of the establishment is nothing short of remarkable, creating an inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The service, in particular, was exemplary; our waitress, Maria, exhibited an extraordinary level of professionalism and attentiveness that left a lasting impression. Her ability to anticipate our needs and provide recommendations was commendable, and it is worth noting that her efforts contributed significantly to our overall satisfaction. I wholeheartedly endorse El Torito as a premier dining destination, especially during the holiday season, and encourage others to consider it for their future celebrations. The combination of exquisite service and delightful cuisine ensures that patrons will leave feeling exceedingly pleased.

Outstanding meal. Great attentive service. Excellent food from the French Onion Soup and Hamachi Crudo appetizers to classic entrees Trout Almondine, Mussels Mariniere in a sublime white wine sauce with shallots and Creme Fraiche, and Filet au Poivre with a delicious cognac black pepper sauce. Belgian Endive Salad also very solid while the Bartender was on his game. All around great French Bistro vibe. And Chocolate Souffle to cap it off. A winner!
