Los Feliz Icon Tiki-Ti Reopens After a Devastating Family Loss - Eater LA

"Great White, an Australian-style all-day cafe, is set to open its fourth location behind A.O.C. in Brentwood. The cafe has been popular since its 2017 opening, with expansions in Larchmont and West Hollywood in 2021." - Mona Holmes

Great White Larchmont Review - Larchmont - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If there’s an official beverage of Larchmont, it would be coffee. Hot, iced, black, or topped to the brim with the latest pumpkin-vanilla seasonal foam, it doesn’t matter—strolling Larchmont Blvd. on a Saturday morning is like witnessing a coffee 5k. There are more caffeine options on this stretch than anyone can count, but our favorite is Great White. The Australian cafe has multiple locations across the city these days, but its bright, breezy Larchmont location is an ideal spot to post up on a hazy Sunday morning with a flat white and one of the best breakfast burritos in the city. Also, if you’re in the Weho/Beverly Hills area and have a coffee date with someone coming from the Eastside, this is a fair geographic middle ground." - Brant Cox

Nice breakfast experience. The staff was nice. Really enjoyable sitting at the outdoor area having the nice breakfast burrito here. It was quite full but everyone was just chilling and didn’t make a lot of noise.

Came in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious — especially the burrito — and the interior is absolutely beautiful. We got a table right away, even on a Sunday morning, and the staff was super friendly. Overall, a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌸

I had a great brunch at this Great White location. I came specifically for the pancakes and they delivered. They were perfectly fluffy and full of flavour. The cream on top was a great addition as well. I also got poached eggs on toast on the side so I could have something savoury and I really enjoyed those as well. The only negative is my friend’s smoothie took a long time to arrive. It should have come with the rest of our food but was delayed. However, the restaurant comped it, which was appreciated.

The best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It's delicious. This place is busy so either plan ahead or get reservations ahead of time. The servers are very nice and very attentive. Very cool atmosphere with open air seating, fireplace outside, and great relaxing music.

Great White in Melrose offers a stellar mix of coastal-inspired vibes, fresh ingredients, and a chic, minimalist ambiance. The menu leans heavily into clean, California-style dishes with global twists—think avocado toast elevated to an art form, creative grain bowls, and delicious wood-fired pizzas. The coffee program is equally impressive, featuring well-crafted espresso drinks and unique options like turmeric lattes. The space itself is inviting, with an airy design and natural tones that make it a perfect spot for a relaxed brunch or a casual dinner with friends. Service is warm and attentive, and the energy feels quintessentially LA—stylish, laid-back, and welcoming. Whether you’re after a healthy meal or indulgent flavors, Great White manages to strike a balance that feels both satisfying and fresh. Would highly recommend for foodies and casual diners alike.

I just wanna start this off with saying I have never EVER written a bad review in my LIFE. I’ve always been so understanding of food and customer services, but this experience I had at Great White has genuinely caused me to spiral and I’m sick to my stomach. The craziest and most disgusting experience of my life. I went with a friend and ordered sweet potato fries and a Caesar salad. As I’m many bites in my salad, I begin to take a bite at something believing it was a big caper (which the salad had) only for it to be a ROACH that was moving its legs and antennas. I screamed out loud and pointed it to my friend and we were both in shock. We called a waiter over instantly over to take it just for him to take it, show it to his coworker and start laughing. 10 minutes later and the manager, or so I believe was the manager, could be just a random woman working there for all I know, approached us with no introduction and explain how they buy all their produce fresh and from the farmers market. She then asked if I wanted a piece of banana bread and coffee on the house and I denied, to which she then said she would come over later to check in with me. Surprise surprise she did not follow up with that and instead one of the waiters came back with the pin pad and SHOVED it in my face to pay for my friends food AND MY SWEET POTATO FRIES. I looked at him with complete shock unable to say anything and my friend so kindly paid for it as she just wanted to get out of restaurant as soon as possible. Then we walked by the workers and “manager” who literally did not say anything else, or acknowledge us. It was so embarrassing and gross. Safe to say I will never be going back there, and I have been sick and unable to eat since then. Literally no genuine sympathy, remorse, or sincerity in the world. Next time wash your lettuce twice if you so badly want to represent you purchase organic because this is unacceptable for a “high-end brunch spot” and I could care less by how beautiful the decor location and atmosphere are, not worth poorly washed and dissected food.

Went here during my trip to LA, the atmosphere was quite comfortable, the staff was very friendly, and the food was really good.

Finally made it out to Great White! & can’t wait to go back!!!! The wait was only around 45 minutes, got there around 12:30PM for brunch! Smoked salmon pizza is 11/10 must try🔥 The ceviche for the table was a brunch favorite! Breakfast sandwich was good, but I wouldn’t get it again. Personally I don’t like a sweetish breakfast sandwich but if you do, then don’t hesitate to try it! Drinks were normal, The vibes were very chill and laidback, definitely recommend👍🏽

The food here is solid. Nothing wow worthy or necessary to go out of your way for. It's a great place to share food, and a good vibe, lots of people watching, whether for brunch or dinner. Servers are nice and attentive. They also accept inkind which is good to get a discount. Food wise, I recommend the mushroom fries and the marg pizza. I also enjoy the chicken sandwich and the burger. For brunch, the breakfast burrito is solid but add avocado. They have several other locations which offer the same menu.

The food was okay. We definitely confused the mushroom fries for fries topped with mushrooms - they are in fact fried mushrooms... they were tasty though. The restroom the day we visited was horrifically kept. It felt like a club bathroom and was not tended to.

My new favorite brunch spot on Melrose! Important to note that brunch is first come first serve, so there are no reservations available. I arrived around 10:50am on a Sunday morning and I was seated immediately. I was quite surprised, but turns out it gets very busy around 11am, so make sure you arrive early or you'll be waiting to be seated for a while. The food is delicious! I tried the Blue Smoothie Bowl and loved it -- this is the perfect way to begin your morning with berries, granola, and blue algae! You can add additional toppings such as almond butter or honey, too. I also ordered the breakfast burrito that comes with scrambled eggs, Oaxaca cheese, bacon, tater tots, salsa, and a delicious chipotle aioli. The burrito was crunchy and absolutely yummy! Service is quite fast and our server was kind and willing to answer any questions we had. The restaurant is spacious and there's even a small room for private dining. The location is charming but parking is tricky to find, so be sure to arrive before the crowd or look for parking on side streets.

I had a great experience at Great White, loving the atmosphere and the fantastic avocado toast. Although there were a few minor setbacks, including the taste of the unfiltered water, an overcooked egg, and lukewarm tea, these didn't overshadow the positives. The restaurant was clearly busy, which likely contributed to the inconsistent service (no fault of our server Billy). I'm eager to try other dishes and plan to visit again.

This place is a whole vibe, definitely the kind of place you'd probably see an influencer or celebrity dining in as well. I really liked the ambiance. I feel like some of the tables and chairs were a little close to each other but it felt open and bright when seated. Our server was nice, and everything arrived to the table together. I ordered the smoked salmon pizza and it was literally like a lox bagel but in pizza form! It was delicious and the crust was perfect. I'd come back to try some of their other stuff because everyone else ordered something different and they all enjoyed their food as well. I had ordered a drink as well but I cant remember what it was called but it was some kind of yuzu drink and it was more tart than I would've liked. It felt like drinking unsweetened lemonade, not really sweet enough to balance the acidity.

My partner and I just happen to stumble upon this spot while waiting in line at Verve coffee for the Sabrina Carpenter event. We noticed as we walked by that their food look so delicious and we knew that we had to try Great White out before we left! The ambiance is honestly really nice. The restaurant has this low light vibe when it's dark outside and it's honestly really cool. If you have trouble seeing, it may not be to your liking since it's a bit dark, but it's still quite enjoyable. Our waitress was super sweet! I was having trouble selecting a drink and she went out of her way to ask what I like to drink. I mentioned that I really only like sweet cocktails and she recommended that we try one of their soda spritz mixed in with any kind of liquor which is exactly what I did! I honestly forgot the name of the soda spritz but it was so good! My partner got the strawberry yuzu cocktail spirit which he enjoyed so much and actually ordered twice more! For our entrees, I got the bolognese pasta and my partner got the shrimp pasta! Ugh they were so tasty, we literally just swallowed our pastas like a vacuum. We both were literally just like Kirby haha. For dessert, we ordered the sourdough bread pudding! We love bread budding with a passion so we just had to get theirs. It was really good! I'm just not the biggest fan of raisins which they had in there, but other than that it was very delicious! I definitely recommend Great White for a new spot to try out!

Great White is one of the most popular brunch spots in LA! Known for its all-day brunch menu, Great White is impeccable for their quality of food and LA ambiance where you might catch your favorite celebs/influencers. We started our brunch off with lattes and they were extremely refreshing. For our courses, we ordered the hotcakes with berries, ceviche, salmon, and truffle fungi pizza. The hotcakes were not too sweet and were an irresistable blend of fruity tang. All of the other items we ordered were seasoned to perfection and served hot and ready. The ceviche with taro chips was so fresh. The beautiful presentation of each plate and ambiance of the outdoor patio makes the whole dining experience one to remember. Great White is one of my favs!

First time trying Great White which came recommended from friends. We were given a 20 minute estimated wait time and were seated within 15. The menu has lots of variety and so many things looked good. We shared the tuna tostadas and brussels sprouts for the table. Both were amazing. I ordered the curry salmon bowl and it was great as well. Everyone was happy with their meal.

Love Great White- such high quality and delicious meals with the best ambiance. It feels like you're enjoying lunch in Europe or by the beach! My friend and I shared the mushroom fires (sooo good!!), she got the fish tacos and I got the chicken kebab. Everything was fresh, tasty and we had an amazing experience overall! Great service too:) highly recommend

I visited Great White All Day Café today, and it was such a lovely experience! The vibe of the café is modern and relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind. I ordered the salmon bowl, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The salmon was tender, and the combination of grains and greens was both healthy and satisfying. I also got a salad with goat cheese on the side, and it was absolutely delicious--the goat cheese added a creamy, tangy kick that elevated the dish. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the service was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and I appreciated the care put into the presentation of the food. If you're looking for a place with great food, a chill atmosphere, and friendly service, I highly recommend stopping by!

I've been wanting to try Great White for the longest time and I'm so glad I did! The overall ambiance is very cute and intimate. My waitress and all the staff were very nice and friendly from the get go. I ordered the ceviche and taro chips and it was absolutely amazing! The ceviche didn't taste fishy and the taro chips were very crispy and light. I also ordered the truffle fungi pizza which was phenomenal! It was a good size for 2 people (has 6 slices). I definitely want to come back to try their brunch!

What a great addition to this neighborhood. Cute and trendy spot with delicious food. They're super busy, so expect a wait if you're just going to show up. I just love the overall feel and look of the restaurant. The mushroom fries are to die for and a must order dish if you're eating here. My main was the Poke Bowl, which was a little underwhelming. Fish was fresh, but just not very filling. A very small portion and not what I envisioned for a poke bowl. It did have a nice flavor though. I had some of my friend's burger and fries. Not the best parking in the area, but not impossible to find a parking space.

Food was awesome! I tried the breakfast burrito, market salad, and banana bread. The market salad was my fav, very unique flavor combo. You can't go wrong with the breakfast curry to The ambience is lovely, a semi-patio deal. Great coastal decor and great service.

Great White is a brunch and dinner restaurant located on Melrose in West Hollywood. The restaurant is very aesthetic, with Spanish influenced architecture and decor most of which is pink. The vibes are great for a night out. There's street parking available, a restroom, and you can make reservations online. Seating is mostly outdoors as the restaurant is basically a patio. The service was pretty standard for a sit down restaurant. Food We ordered the smoked salmon pizza for $28, the truffle fungi pizza for $26, the steak frites for $34, and a matcha latte for $6.50. The pizzas were great; they were a shareable size with thin crusts and the toppings were fresh and well balanced with the pizza itself. The steak frites were buttery and cooked nicely and the sauce was a great addition to it. We say skip the matcha latte, nothing special. Overall | 4.5 The ambiance + service: 4.5/5 The food: 4.5/5 The price: $$

Food: The salmon pizza was surprisingly good, the breakfast burrito was standard, and the breakfast plate was mediocre, although the eggs are scrambled perfectly! The chai latte was the star of the show! It was smooth and spicy and tasted as authentic as it can get at a restaurant! Service: Super busy when I went but service was quicker than expected! It's definitely a nice brunch experience!

Wow! Came to visit this spot for the first time and loved my experience here. The building is pink, and there's no sign outside, so it's easy to miss, but you can tell it apart because it's pink. Once inside the host was extremely friendly, and once seated, our server was, so so nice and helpful. We each ordered the Mezcal marg. which was more cucumber tasting than tart, which I loved. I'm not one who finishes my drinks quickly, and I downed two of these like water. We ordered the pan con tomate to share which was their special, And had jamon ibérico n top that melted in your mouth. This place was well priced, had great ambiance, and the service was amazing. I had a dinner to go to after so we only shared that one plate, but I'd be interested in trying anything else they serve here! I will definitely definitely be back.

Vibe: Really pretty restaurant without feeling stuffy. We got to use the private room they have for larger parties which was gorgeous. The staff were helpful and attentive. Food: We went for brunch and I had the salmon curry and I was underwhelmed. Same with my cucumber margarita. The best bite I had was the banana bread that we shared with the table.

I came here on a Saturday at noon with no reservations. The wait was about an hour, but that was fine since it's right on Melrose, so I just window shopped while I waited. I love the indoor/outdoor space of this restaurant, it's a perfect cute brunch spot, especially with some girl friends. I ordered the tuna tostada, mushroom pizza, breakfast burrito, tater tots. Everything was very good. I would for sure come back and order all of the same things, as well as try other items.

Great White It's seriously one of my top spots **Atmosphere:** You walk into to a cool beachy vibe. The place is bright, airy, and decked out with some stylish decor that screams California chill. **Service:** To be honest, the hosts could be a bit friendlier. But our waiter Billie on this day - he was an absolute gem. Patient, helpful, and just all-around awesome. Definitely made our dining experience way better. **Culinary Delights:** Let's talk about the food. We started off with the Ceviche, and let me tell you, it's "Mexican approved"! The flavors were on point, although the onions and acid could've chilled out a bit. The Chicken Salad - crunchy lettuce, flavorful chicken, it was like a party in my mouth. I had the Shrimp Pasta - and wow! I was blown away favorable, nice size shrimp, perfect serving. **Beverage Selection:** So, my friend loved their Micheladas, but I stuck with water this time. However, I've had their iced lattes before, and they're legit. ** Social Media Worthy** Yes. Make sure you dress cute and don't be afraid to snap your selfies and content. **Overall Impression:** Great White Restaurant is the real deal. Just a heads up, make sure to book a table in advance especially around lunch time. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you gotta check out Great White. You won't regret it! Definitely recommend it.

What a fantastic way to start our day in LA! Our party of 4 came in for Sunday brunch, put our names down, and waited for about 25 minutes to be seated. Luckily, we were catching up with friends, so the wait wasn't an issue. The service was top-notch--really wonderful and attentive. We enjoyed sipping on their delicious bloody marys while deciding on the menu. After much deliberation, we settled on the cali burrito, smoked salmon pizza (surprisingly delicious!), truffle fungi pizza (with extra pepperoni for the meat-lover in our group), and the great white breakie. The most talked-about dishes at our table were the smoked salmon pizza, appreciated for its uniqueness, and the breakie, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The ambiance was fun, and we especially loved the Tulum vibes. Overall, it was a delightful brunch experience.

It's giving Tulum vibes all the way! From the cobble stone floors to the arches in the entryways. The exposed kitchen and pizza oven is pretty neat. So many great places to take a photo here! We were celebrating a birthday, the food and service was great, our waitress was on it! Items ordered: Guacamole Poached eggs over sourdough Latte Brussels Strawberry probiotic smoothie Mushroom fries Ceviche. The food was alright, it wasn't anything extraordinary. Not sure I'll go back, but if I do I'd order the mushroom fries.

Had reservations here for dinner with a friend. Service was very good, staff was attentive to refills and asking how everything was frequently. The seating was cozy even though it was an outdoors area. For being a Wednesday it was still pretty busy with almost every table used, however service was still great!(should def get a reservation). The ceviche was AMAZING, very fresh and not too fishy, would definitely recommend. The taro chips went with it perfectly. The mushroom/truffle pizza was also pretty solid and you could actually taste the flavor of the mushrooms/ wasn't washed out by the other ingredients like some pizzas are. The drinks were also worth it, tasted both good and were a good size and gave a calm buzz. Overall good would go again (esp for the ceviche).

I really like this location for great white. I think that the aesthetic and vibes are the best. The food itself is very tasty and the drinks are also pretty good. But I will say I do prefer the breakfast menu over the dinner. My only complaint would be the wait times. Which can get a bit long but understandable as this place is popular are tends to always have a full house. I would say that for what you are getting the price is a bit excessive but considering the location you're not only paying for the food but also for the atmosphere and vibes that come with eating here.

So was I the only idiot who couldn't tell the difference between this place and Gracias Madre next door? I'm an LA ignoramus when it comes to cool spots with hidden signage and didn't realize my mistake until I saw the absence of vegan Mexican dishes on the menu. I asked Jamie W. if he wanted to leave, but he was willing to try what I perceived to be a typically trendy El Lay eatery. The youngish clientele was mostly tanned and discernibly not on food stamps. Hmm, I was wondering why it was called Great White, but then I noticed the shark emblem on the menu. Oh, I get it now. Anyway, both of us decided to get bowls. Jamie ordered the $24 Harvest Bowl, a truly vegan delight with endive, kale, snap peas, zucchini, carrots, avocado, and rice. The bowl was smeared with a tasty miso tahini and drizzled with a tangy yuzu ginger dressing (photo: https://yelp.to/gncjuuWaDL). I went a bit heartier with the $30 Salmon Coconut Curry, which was a seared salmon filet with crispy skin over a bed of black rice sitting in a pool of coconut curry mixed with bok choy, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and lime (photo: https://yelp.to/8bC976dhe1). It was very Cali-Thai and quite tasty. Probably against our better judgment, we decided to share the $18 Mushroom Fries without really knowing what that meant. It turned out to be tempura with a thick coating of deep-fried batter with chili aioli, lemon zest, and Thai basil (photo: https://yelp.to/exvzwHb6A1). Pretty heavy going, but the $8 Arnold Palmer helped wash it all down (photo: https://yelp.to/C3sofzki5E). Service was surprisingly attitude-free, and that helped, too. FOOD - 4 stars...the bowls worked well albeit with Melrose price points AMBIANCE - 4 stars...casually upscale Santa Fe vibe SERVICE - 4 stars...friendlier than I had envisioned TOTAL - 4 stars...WeHo chill RELATED - Exploring WeHo?

This place is definitely one for the books as a place to visit over and over. The vibe is fantastic and fabulous servers that were energetic, happy, and responsive. The outdoor patio was fun with good spacing between tables. We came for breakfast and everything was top notch. We had the Breakie plate that packed color and flavor. The banana bread was moist and warm, thick sliced with a sweetened butter. Then there was the overnight oats that had such great texture and variety that I just wanted to lick the bowl. I also tried the ginger & basil hot tea which was a perfect blend. My son got the shaken latte which was smooth and creamy. 5 stars all the way - saving this place as one of the favorites!!

The ambience at this restaurant is very nice and the food was pretty good. However, the portions were small and the food was overpriced. I also did not appreciate that I did not have the option to substitute bacon with something else in my breakfast burrito. As a Muslim, it's frustrating to not have the option to substitute. There was nothing else I wanted on the menu so my only option was to remove it. If you're not going to offer substitutes, at least reduce the price.

They don't take reservations so be sure you have your full party with you when you want to get a table. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and is good for parties of one to six. Service is OK but theg forgot some of the orders that were placed. In terms of the food, the poke bowl, salmon coconut curry, and fish tacos (they are low carb). The pizza is not very crispy but thin and flavorful. I found the Brussels to be quite oily. Perhaps they need to strain them after frying more so there is less oil in the seving bowl. Overall I would come back

The service & the ambience here was phenomenal! My friend and I ordered the breakfast burrito and we subbed avocado for bacon, which I do not recommend because it makes the burrito too mushy, I think it's an avocado purée. The banana bread was absolutely insane. Do not skip out!!!

Celebrity & Influencer Lunch spot for sureeee. We saw Stormzy there yesterday lol. That aside, I went for my friend's birthday brunch & we had an enjoyable time. The shared meals were perfect for us. The brussel sprouts were sooo good like I need the recipe for them right now. THE CEVICHE was so yum they use locally sourced fish that tastes fresh & delicious. Super aesthetic spot to take pics & absorb your surroundings. Only reason I took off a star is because it's very tight seating which can get hectic. Also, the waiters are very busy so they have little time to check up on you. I would definitely return to this spot.

Arrived around 11am on a Wednesday. We were told the wait was around 30-45 minutes. It was closer to 30 than 45. We were seated, and the server took our order. He brought out the banana bread, and let me tell you. Do not forgo the banana bread. You would be doing yourself a disservice. I ordered the breakfast burrito, my daughter ordered the breakfast sandwich. The burrito was fine. The sandwich was great. I wish I would have ordered the ricotta pancake things. I kept seeing them every time someone else walked by with them. I have regrets lol Also, the shirts that they wear are available for purchase, but the ones that are collabed with tony Camaro are a steep $66. Was a little much but was too cute to say no.

Met my friend for Sunday brunch (she was visiting from NY) and we loved it. It was both of our first time there and it was great vibes, nice staff, and delicious food. And the margaritas are *chef kiss*!

A good place to grab brunch at in West Hollywood. There are a few locations around and is a class, straightforward Cali cuisine. Service was nice and friendly and you can make reservations in advanced. The most unique items is the Coconut Curry Salmon, which I forgot to take a picture of! Really good and filling. We also got the Tremendous Burger that had smashed patties and standard toppings. The Bloody Maria was nice to have that had tequila instead of vodka for an extra kick. Overall, good brunch spot to start off a day in West Hollywood!

We stopped into Great White on Melrose for an appetizer and drinks the other night and were very happy with our choice. The waitstaff were all very kind and service was prompt. The cocktails were interesting twists on classics - I had the oaxaca Negroni (Negroni with mezcal instead of gin) and it was very good. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy and the sauce was tasty. The food being served around us also looked quite good. Overall, seems like a cool spot to stop in for a meal!

Everything about this place is INCREDIBLE!!! I got greeted in just fine when a girl by the name of connie. I love being acknowledged, they absolutely made me feel right at home. I usually go to the larchmont location however thank God I came here. I was seated indoor. the outdoor concept is just as beautiful!! An awesome person by the name of Briers made sure my order was great, she was friendly and checked in with me!! She had the best attitude ever and the quality of the food was just as great as the service. Tom helped me too, did such an incredible job making sure my table was taken care of. Bernie picked my plates and he was even so nice. I was greeted by Cait, she's was awesome all around too. Everyone here really made me look forward to coming back!!! When food and service meets quality. The ambience is incredible, it smells sooooo good seriously. I love their menu. I ordered the blueberry smoothie bowl, definitely great fruit and its served fresh. very aesthetic and tasty!!!! I also got the matcha iced latte with honey, super delicious!!! its a healthy version of matcha I also got the Pan con tomate and added Avo, the meat is thick. other than that its a solid 10 of you like that kind of meat. Definitely coming back here.

Stopped here for breakfast and can attest that it's the best brunch spot in LA. Right when you walk in, the decore and vibes are spot on, very tranquil and clean. We were there before 11 so there wasn't that bad of a line to get a table and we were seated right away. We got lattes, brunch punch (mimosas) and margaritas as our drinks. If you're getting the margarita, make sure to get it spicy, so good! For food we got the banana bread to start. I can say that it was gone within seconds! I got the breakfast sandwich gluten free. Best gluten free bread I've ever had! We also got the burrito and a burrito without the tortilla, made it GF. I loved it without the tortilla, those tots and sauces are exceptional!

Food was delicious, service was attentive, love the interior, super calm and cute. Came in for lunch one day and it was pretty packed on a weekday. Got a table right away which was very nice. There was a nice breeze from the outside coming in through the half open patio. We ordered a few things to share, and everything was super tasty and very healthy. We asked our server for recommendations, and she definitely did not disappoint. The taro chips ceviche was on point. My favorite was actually the fish tacos. Super unique, and very flavorful, very interesting combination of ingredients. Very fresh. The burger was pretty good as well, I actually really like the side salad that it came with. Service was nice and friendly. My only complaint was that my iced tea was $6 which was a little expensive. otherwise the interior, the food and service were all superb. Parking was pretty easy on the street. We found a metered spot and paid a couple of bucks.

Another great meal at Great White! This was my first time at the Melrose location, I've only ever been to the Venice location but parking is very much hit or miss there. Parking here was relatively easy, but the wait times were basically the same as in Venice. For a party of 3 at 12:00 pm on a Saturday, we waited for 45 minutes, and grabbed coffee at Verve right next door to pass the time. When we got inside and ordered, the food came out quickly. Pro tip: order the banana bread to share because that always comes out first. Crispy Chicken Sandwich (10/10): The chicken was crispy and moist, and the slaw and pickles were a great complement. The dish came with a generous serving of fries and I asked for the chipotle aioli on the side to dip which was delicious. Truffle Fungi Pizza (7.5/10) (review from my friend): "Could have more depth of flavor, but had a nice cheese and crust. They make a good pizza crust." Breakfast Burrito (8/10) (review from my other friend): "Needs more salsa and hot sauce." Banana Bread (10/10): Amazing balance of flavors and textures, the sweet banana pairs perfectly with the creamy butter and flaky salt. I literally think about this banana bread every few months. Just as a note, it seems prices at this location are a bit higher (around $2-4) than at Venice, just from looking at menu photos around the same time. The ambience here was awesome, and bonus points for having an incredibly clean bathroom with Byredo soap. Overall a slay.

Overall, a nice dining experience. The space is mostly outdoors. Even if you request an "inside" seat, it's open to the elements -- just something to keep in mind if it's an extremely cold or hot day in LA. The waitstaff was very accommodating for our party, as one of my guest flaked at the last minute (being every so very LA!). I've dined at the other Great White locations in LA, and this spot is very nice. I prefer the Larchmont location much more, given the ambiance, sidewalk cafe vibe and much easier parketing. The night I met up with my friends, traffic/parking was terrible. There is valet, but it still took a very long time given the extreme traffic. I ordered the chicken kebob, which is available at the other locations of Great White. It is so delicious and my go-to dish. My friend had the pizza and really enjoyed her choice. There is a wide range of cocktails and wines. I sampled the orange wine, and it wasn't for me. I ended up going with a traditional pinot noir. The wine menu is definitely limited. But it did the trick and my friend ordered the same wine as me. We probably should have ordered a bottle, but hey, we made it work. I'm glad I checked the place out. It's a fun gathering spot for groups and friends. It can get rowdy, so a better spot for a group gathering than a romantic night out. But I guess it depends on who's out that night!

I am a huge fan of Great White, so had to try their newest location! I like the Melrose location because of their iconic pink exterior. Parking is slightly better than their other two locations. Brunch is walk-ins only. Their text notifying us our table was ready didn't "go through" so we had to wait an extra 30 minutes, making the wait 1.5 hours. We ordered the breakfast burrito, matcha latte, fried chicken caesar salad, shrimp pastas, salmon mezzes, and breakfast sandwich. The food came out in a timely manner and all at once. Brunch is always solid at Great White. The quality seems consistent between all locations. My only complaint was their toast for the salmon mezze. It was too hard to eat and over toasted. Service also was mid at this location. Our server never came by to check up on us unless we flagged him down. Other than that, I do enjoy getting brunch at Great White.

For dinner, we sat outside on the patio near the cozy fireplace and dim lights, the atmosphere was chill and fresh. Our waitress was very personable and friendly, she offered up popular choices from the menu and was cheerful to our dogs (pet-friendly place). I enjoyed the shrimp pasta, while hubs had the woodfired pizza, and daughter enjoyed her smash patty cheeseburger. Portions were generous and flavor on-point. Since the consensus was a positive response, we deemed it necessary to try them the next day for breakfast. The burrito, eggs, fresh fruit, and banana bread slice were all delicious! I had the shaken espresso latte which was smooth and refreshing. Highly recommend!
