Best Lunch Restaurants in El Sereno

I have liked this restaurant for a long time but last night’s Arroyo salad, though large and enough for lunch today, was a bit disappointing. I added chicken and the chopped chicken breast in it was so dry it was not even made edible by dipping it in salad dressing. You shouldn’t serve inedible food. The rest of our party’s food was quite delicious, however, and the service was outstanding.

This place was beautiful and the service was spectacular. I’d say it’s a lil too pricey for what you get though. I’ve had high tea at other places that were around $30-$40 and had more stuff whereas this place (while yes it was good) was $64 per person for a few slices of bread, tarts, crumpets, and one tea selection. On top of that, you have to pay to get into the Huntington. I still rate it five stars cause it was a beautiful and calm experience, but again just a bit overpriced.

Extremely slow service like beyond slow for an empty restaurant, but absolutely delicious food like five star food but really extremely expensive! Beautiful ambience really fresh food that was again absolutely delicious just expensive and there’s not really kid options. I wasn’t dining with a kid so it did not matter to me, but I like to include that in my review.

New menu is a huge improvement - I found 4-5 entrees that I could eat and enjoy, not just 1 or 2 like before. They cater specifically to the Cale-Baby Field Greens croud, but there were sufficient items for those of us who like just normal food to have a good choice.

This was our second time eating here. Service was outstanding both times. Ambience is lovely. The bread service was amazing! Food was very good. Highly recommend for a date night or special dinner.
