Madera Kitchen

Food is okay. Great ambience and a fun place for people-watching. We went for brunch and the bottomless mimosas came in different flavors. The orange juice was fresh and the guava and peach were from concentrate. We will be back to try their gluten-free flat bread served only during dinner.

My review is for a wedding venue and the wedding menu which is all that I've experienced. It's a beautiful intimate venue for a smaller wedding with lots of nooks and crannies for photos, and an on site delicious menu with some meat and veggie options. I love working here as a photographer and the staff is always very kind. Parking is the most difficult thing, street parking with meter or Uber are your best options to get here.

Great place to have food or that special drink. Great staff and Joshua the manager is awesome to work with. I had the pleasure of working a wedding for Diana and Matt and I was able to plug into there sound system.

The food and atmosphere was good but what really won me over was the customer service. My friends and I spent 3 hrs there and constantly received refills on our waters, bottomless mimosas, and bottomless micheladas without having to ask. Definitely had such a great experience here and would 10/10 come again!

I enjoyed the food here. The burger is really good. But the service really wasn’t the best. However when there was an issue with my burger they sorted it out quickly and compensated me with free food and a little cocktail. So that made up for the lack of promptness with our waiter 😊 so thanks and BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS. it is expensive tho. It’s $20 to refill a glass for 2 hours which ends at 3:30pm

I was looking for a Happy Hour spot in LA near a venue I was going to, and this place came up! The place is GORGEOUS, especially outside. It doesn't get too cold, but when there's an event they'll block out the other side. The inside of the restaurant is quite nice too, it's pretty dark and intimate and the bar looks nice to sit at. Apparently there are blankets outside, so you can ask for it and they'll provide it to you! Happy Hour menu: I ordered the Penicillin ($14), it was a little weak and watered down, but overall good. Chicken ($7) - This was DELICIOUS, there were a lot of flavors, crispy, and it was cut into three pieces. Eat it fast because it cools down quickly. Ceviche (Thursday special for $5) - This was yummy as well, it comes in a small martini glass. The other Happy Hour special was a bbq pork slider, my friends tell me it's delicious. Keep your timer ready because we didn't get a notice when Happy Hour was over. We were charged original prices and had to get it sorted out (we ordered some items on the dot).

The staff is very nice and polite. Food and drinks are delicious. It's a cool place to hang out.

New name, south Indian food done right. Get the garlic nahn, it's amazing.

Service was amazing Brandon was the best server. We are not from Houston and felt welcomed by the staff. The food was amazing but the vibes were even better. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for good Mexican cuisine.

Went to an event here, during the week, evening. By the reviews seems like they do a lot of events, weddings etc. horrible. Food was inedible. Wine was "yellow tail", terrible. I do not recommend. See photo of bathroom. Toilet paper on floor.

Unfortunately, I can't recommend Madera as a wedding party venue. Despite it being a charming location with good drinks and food, the event management soured the planning experience for us. We hired the restaurant's in-house planner, Jenn (Red Light Special Events/Weddings by Jennifer Laskey) but had to fire her and hire someone else a month before the wedding because we weren't satisfied with her planning services. We paid her her whole fee anyway without argument. Nonetheless, she still showed up at our wedding, despite saying she would not. It was awkward to say the least. Additionally, the photo booth that we paid extra for, which was central to our guest party favor, did not function properly for most of the night. We also paid a mandatory 20% service charge (over $3K) that was supposed to go toward gratuity according to our contract, but we were told the day before our wedding that if we didn't allow tip jars on the bar, the bartenders (who were wonderful) would not get any tip. It put us and our guests in an awkward position. Finally, we also rented the house owned by the restaurant owner to get ready in. While nice, the day after our wedding we got a call asking for more money to clean, despite paying a cleaning fee already, because we left two boxes by the garbage can. It was just one thing after another. There are lots of beautiful venues in LA. Just make sure the management is up to the task of not ruining your experience.

Amazing wedding venue!! Terrific food and atmosphere. Outdoor space is perfect for the ceremony. Indoor space is great for dinner and dancing. For a stylish, intimate wedding, this is a great choice.

I loved the outdoor seating area. Very chill and relaxed. Service was very friendly and attentive. We decided to go here before a show at the pantages. About a 6 min walk to the pantages from the restaurant and we scored street parking close by that was much cheaper than the lots. It wasn't too crowded at 6 on a Wednesday evening. I got the Travelzoo deal with a 90 min all you can drink wine. There's only a choice of 6 barrel wines, so if you don't like it, you're out of luck. We liked the Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay. Didn't try any of the other wines so can't really comment on those. The deal comes with 4 shared plates, so we got the ceviche, yellowtail, octopus, Brussel sprouts. They were all really good!! My favorite was the yellowtail. Fresh and delicious. My bf didn't care for the Brussel sprouts - he thought they were slight over cooked and not crispy enough.

In Los Angeles for the weekend and am just hanging out with some friends but we got invited to an evening brunch here so here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: Right off of North Cahuenga Blvd is this gem. You can't really miss it. The building wraps around the corner and there's no parking lot, so good luck finding some street parking. Once inside this place opens up into a beautiful rustic world filled with log-like chairs, wooden floors, wine barrels and so much more. I loved the way it looked. It even looked like the ceiling was open between the wooden beams. I couldn't tell if it were glass or just the "outside" portion of the restaurant or if it could be covered up? I mean, does it even rain in California? Lol. Anyway, further in you get to the bar area where the lighting got a little dimmer and intimate. I really loved the aura and the music. Service: I can't remember who was helping us, but they were excellent. It was super busy and they were taking care of everyone. Food: I didn't have anything to eat, but I did indulge in a few drinks which were pretty tasty. Value: It's Hollywood. Need I say more? Lol. Maybe $12.00 a drink or so, but you should just assume that walking in the door... any door around this area. In conclusion I'd check this place out for dinner sometime. Looking at some of the pictures it seems to be a pretty chill place. I'd love to come back to try dinner out sometime.

I have been to Madera a few times and it is so close to home so I brought my party of 7 for Mother's Day brunch. It was frustrating. Host wouldn't let the 5 of us sit until the entire party arrived. I explained that we have a 3 year old that's not going to wait around and that the other 2 are very close. He wouldn't budge until I asked for a manager... There was a pretty table for 7 outdoors which I asked if we could use and was told it was "absolutely reserved." Mind you that the "reservation" had not arrived over 2 hours later when we were leaving the restaurant. We could have easily been seated at that table. No vegan and vegetarian options unless you want a fruit platter as your meal. Very egg and meat forward menu. It was very difficult to make adjustments and substitutions as the waiter seemed confused and had to ask the kitchen about everything and come back 20 minutes later with an answer, including not being able to make a grilled cheese for my nephew since there were no kid appropriate options either. I finally got the grilled flatbread sandwich with no copa and salami. Atleast I enjoyed was my mimosa.

3 months after the wedding and 2 months after we left the review I received this piece of work of an email at 4am. We told Jennifer the night was great, we loved the wedding. Everything for the most part was great besides the issues we listed in our review (even leaving out other details we were not happy with) but the process of working with her was a nightmare, as you can see. Very sad to see her threaten clients, as I do not see how this helps her in any way, nor do I choose to respond to this. And to Madera directly, regardless of how much we enjoyed the venue and aesthetic of the place and regardless of our initial review stating the issues we encountered, it's very sad to see your employee or partner talking to people like this, as they represent you and who you are as a company.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards Madera. My wedding, like many others, was ruined by COVID. We were postponed from April 19, 2020 to October 11, 2020. We lost our original reception venue. We lost deposits. We were truly broken hearted and ready to give up. We accepted that a big wedding celebration just wasn't it the cards. We at least thought maybe we could still just elope with family at the chapel, we hadn't lost that yet. Well the chapels restrictions changed. We paid for a private ceremony with 40 guests...it was now dropped to 4 from the same household. Basically, we couldn't have anyone. We almost settled for the chapel anyway with the option to invite everyone to watch over zoom which is what I absolutely did not want. We were just going to try to find a restaurant with outdoor seating to meet our family at, just eat & celebrate after. Well, yelp lead me to Madera's website in an attempt to make a reservation for brunch and the first thing I saw was a pop up that said they were taking micro event and had special pricing for couple's who's weddings have been ruined by Covid. Talk about a SIGN. Everything moved very fast from that post. I immediately emailed event director Jenn Laskey to get more info. I didn't have much hope tbh because we didn't have much left to spend. Well, Jenn being the angel that she is really made every effort to work with me. I was sold from the customer service alone and that platinum service didn't disappear after we signed the contract and paid the deposit. Jenn stayed on top of everything from start to finish, even after! We had 6 weeks to pull Plan C together- an intimate 37 guest (All family) micro-wedding. We moved everything to Madera completely including the ceremony. Me and Jenn were emailing literally every single day. Our tasting was scheduled quickly. The food was fantastic from start to finish and bartender AJ worked with us to create two killer featured cocktails that could be ordered virgin as well! Green dolphin and Rosemary Jane were our cocktail winners! We met the owner Milton who was nice as ever and our future site manager for the day of- Marco (also so nice!). They were all so detailed when it came to creating the layout of our big day which was set to take up the entire covered patio. The venue itself IS STUNNING AND NEEDS MINIMAL ADDITIONAL DÉCOR. They own their own beautiful wood tables and chivari chairs plus a bunch of mix and match eclectic lounge furniture! All of that would've been a massive extra expense if I had to rent that separately! The venue is dripping in greenery and romantic lights, a true modern boho dream! Both my fiancé and I fell in love during our first walk through! Our big day couldn't have gone smoother, then venue took extra safety precautions in regards to COVID. The guest tables were generously spaced out and limited to less than 8 per table all seated with household members. Party dancing was unfortunately not allowed for safety reasons but Jenn and Milton allowed us to keep all our ceremonial milestone dances (first dance, mother-son, father-daughter). Servers were all in masks during the duration of the event, temp checks were done, and all food was served rather than presented buffet style. Both Jenn and Marco were present as our site reps and were fully involved and hands on the whole night ensuring our day was running smoothly. I had such a STRESS FREE WEDDING DAY it almost seemed unreal! The venue was ready when I arrived and so photogenic! My wedding photos are CINEMATIC because the venue. Everything was where it should be. We got married against the vine wall and dined at a head table with wine barrels as our back drop. Our guests were fed non-stop the entire night. Welcome champagne then tray passes during cocktail hour, opening course, main entrée, then multiple desserts and after dinner coffee/tea! EVERYONE WAS SOOO FULL THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN DANCED IF THEY COULD! LOL Our guests are STILL talking about how INSANE the food and drinks were! We had a couple of picky foodies on our guest list, all gave Madera their seal of approval. Our guests were so impressed by the excellent servers and their top notch service. Jenn checked on us constantly throughout the night and made sure we were fed and happy with how the night was going. Our wedding was intimate, stunning, love filled, and I don't feel like I missed out on anything by choosing to have a micro-wedding at Madera instead of our original plan for a big party. It truly allowed us to see the truth in Quality over Quantity. We were able to spoil our smaller guestlist and have a more magical and memorable night than we ever imagined. I'm so thankful I found Madera. I'm so grateful for Jenn and the entire MADERA TEAM! If you're considering Madera for your big day, don't hesitate. You're making a great choice!

Went on a Saturday for a brunch, with a friend. It appeared to be a special regular event held on Saturday's, so not sure if the service would be the same. We were seated immediately. The environment was nice, they played loud music, but the vibe was nice. The seating is really cool, as it's partially outside & gives you a LA vibe. I ordered the chicken & waffles for $17. The waffle was good, Luke warm but still tasty with maple syrup. It only comes w two pieces of waffle, as opposed to an entire waffle. The chicken that comes with it was nice and juicy and hot - a chicken breast, seasoned well. I had the hibiscus margarita, which was really good - refreshing. I feel that the price is a little steep for the portion of food. The service was good and the food came out pretty quick. I would recommend checking this place out if you like a good brunch vibe.

One of my girlfriends saw on IG that a brunch was taking place today (08.17) at Madera Kitchen with free rsvps. The time slots were in 30 min intervals and eventually sold out but not before we grabbed 4. We really wanted a place with bottomless mimosas and good food and this seemed like the perfect spot. The brunch started at noon and our slot was for 1pm. We arrived a little early but was seated without issue. We were provided with 2 menus: 1-for the brunch food offerings and a 2nd for the drinks. The menus were one page and front only. The bottomless mimosas were $20 but an extra $2 once for flavors like peach or guava. The server (Jewel) kept our glasses filled with both water and mimosas. It is also possible to mix mimosa flavors together. The mimosa with the popsicle is not included on the list for bottomless. I was debating between the Crab Benedict and French toast. We all ended up ordering the French toast ($17) plus a piece of chicken ($9). We decided to do French toast and chicken over chicken and waffles. The server informed us that the chicken and waffles was a restaurant favorite so we ordered some. We also shared the potatoes. The menu stated the potatoes were red but they were actually fingerlings. They came coated in parmesan cheese and atop of a marinara sauce. After the 3rd refill of mimosas we really started to feel the buzz and had to make use of the water. The food presentation was beautiful. The decor of the restaurant is great for IG pics especially the flower wall. The chicken came with a spicy hot sauce on the side which gave a nice kick. The chicken in itself was moist and flavorful. It was sooooo good. The French toast was also a delight and cake topped with fruit and a side of syrup. Let's just say the ambiance is great. The restaurant is large with an open floor plan. The service was outstanding. The restaurant and bathroom was clean. We did not experience a single issue while there. We ate well. We departed full and tipsy.

Had to use the restroom right when I arrived and it smelled a bit of mildew. Mmm, not a good first impression. Atmosphere is very hipster. Music is playing pop and electric. They said they can only do 5 separate checks for our party of 20. Wouldn't be bad but we didn't know everyone and what they ordered. Didn't care for that. Bottomless mimosas are $20/person and thy require you to spend minimum $15 on food. They don't bring you a pitcher, they fill your glass up once you're finished. Um, excuse me?! How are you going to tell me how much I have to spend? That's ridiculous. I didn't care for their restrictions either. Water is served with no ice. Water is left on table in a glass contained that you can pour yourself. The waiters didn't do much else for me except put my food on the table. I didn't order mimosas. So I can't say the service is good. When they were moving chairs around setting up tables for us, there wasn't one "excuse me" said. I thought that was snobby and rude. My friend got the chicken and waffle and the chicken looked over cooked. Someone who knows what fries chicken should look like, the chicken was burnt or they didn't change the grease they cooked it in. It should not be dark brown and almost black on the sides. Someone needs to let the cook know, PLEASE. Friend chicken should have a light brown crisp. Also, the waffles were burnt!! How do u burn waffles?! Good lord. They had to remake 3 people's orders. Another girls French toast was burnt too! Wow!! Then the waiter requested the waffles to show the chef. Does he not believe they were burnt?! GTFOH. I can't with this place. The waiter LITERALLY made an announcement that "Guys, people are asking me for a hundred things at once, tell me what you want all at once so I can get it for you". Um WHAT THE HELL?! That's your job!!! MMMAAANNN!! I ordered a sand which and I didn't even get it!! People got their replacement orders and still no sandwhich! I can with the place. Don't ever come here!!! Then I told the waiter that I want to cancel my order cuz I had a sandwhich and I still didn't get my food. He had the audacity to make the statement "oh she's mad cuz she didn't get her food". Hell yes I am!! What is wrong with you to make those statements?! This is your damn job!!! Seriously, do NOT COME HERE. Horrible establishment and service. I told the waiter he needs to step away from Me because he was standing right over me and I want my space. He refused to move and continued to say that "he doesn't k ow what was wrong with me" YOU, YOU are what's wrong with me. Worst experience ever.

I was looking for a Happy Hour spot in LA near a venue I was going to, and this place came up! The place is GORGEOUS, especially outside. It doesn't get too cold, but when there's an event they'll block out the other side. The inside of the restaurant is quite nice too, it's pretty dark and intimate and the bar looks nice to sit at. Apparently there are blankets outside, so you can ask for it and they'll provide it to you! Happy Hour menu: I ordered the Penicillin ($14), it was a little weak and watered down, but overall good. Chicken ($7) - This was DELICIOUS, there were a lot of flavors, crispy, and it was cut into three pieces. Eat it fast because it cools down quickly. Ceviche (Thursday special for $5) - This was yummy as well, it comes in a small martini glass. The other Happy Hour special was a bbq pork slider, my friends tell me it's delicious. Keep your timer ready because we didn't get a notice when Happy Hour was over. We were charged original prices and had to get it sorted out (we ordered some items on the dot).

Made a reservation for valentines, everything was great, from the host upon our arrival to the great service we got, the food was fresh and tasty. The drinks were not large but definitely on point. The atmosphere was pleasant, nice decor and the place looked clean, good choice of background music. Definitely will come back again!

So excited about the brunch menu per the yelp pictures. BUT... It was alright. I don't think the flavor and impact it had on me will stay for more than a month sort of thing. SEATING: Choose wisely, because being in the patio is HOT and will diminish your eating experience. Nobody likes sweating over fried chicken. -Fried chicken and waffles $14---- The chicken (a piece of thigh meat nicely fried, was doused on their house made syrup which was too sweet (chipotle maple syrup) on top of a (I kid you not) BURN and DRY waffle. Half the dish was good, half terrible. (see picture of burnt waffle) -Crepes a la Carbonara $15---- This was really good, strips of thinly cooked crepe folded with pecorino, egg yolk, thick pieces of bacon. Not bad although the soft texture stopped me from having the entire dish. PARKING: on the street on a weekday ($4 an hour) They also have valet for a discounted price when validated. It was ok, somewhat forgettable food. Too hipster for my liking. PS (***if you want an amazing chicken and waffle, go to Poppy & Rose***)

It's a really cute location ! The food is okay and healthy ! Lol but it was still good and for a wedding it was super cute ! Bomb alcoholic drinks !

As a Leo, there is nothing more important that the celebration of my birth. (Sorry, I'm so dramatic, it's the stars.) So, when I was researching where to go for my birthday dinner, I knew I had to get it right-- and "get it right" I did... with the help of Madera Kitchen. Some of my non negotiables during the research phase: must be located in the Hollywood area (lots of my friends work there), must have a cute outdoor patio (wanted to take advantage of the summer weather), and must have delicious food! I love food and nothing makes me happier than enjoying a great bite to make my taste buds dance. After several hours of research, I landed on Madera Kitchen. I took a chance on the 3 star establishment and it paid off to take such risk! Madera Kitchen was exceptional!! It was exactly what I was looking for (look above). The food was amazing, the space was incredible. Apparently, they even host weddings there? Idk mna, go check it out! It's super cute and the food is great! Don't let the orange stars fool you. Make it red! 5 stars for me.

I'm not sure why this place has such low reviews! the food was pretty good and the service was excellent! we ordered duck ragu pappardelle, squid ink pasta and fries, all of them were delicious. the pappardelle for the ragu might have been a bit too soft and mushy, but other than that we loved it! i esp loved their complimentary bread and butter too! it had a slight spice kick to it! their patio spot is super cute and perfect for small groups.

This place would be great if they upped their food game. The service, interior and cocktails were quite good, but at these prices the food simply needs to be better. Cocktails - Green Dolphin with vodka was a nice variation on a margarita. The All In Thyme had a bit of a kick and nicely balanced herbal flavors. Both were presented nicely. So far, so good. Brussels sprouts - overly smothered in a sticky balsamic reduction, it was tasty but one-note and the Brussels sprouts were lost in the sauce. Less balsamic reduction would help here I think. Grilled Octopus - nicely cooked, onions on top were tasty, plated on aioli which wouldn't be my choice but it worked. Best dish of the night, not amazing but pretty good. Wild boar tagliatelle - this was disappointing. Pasta was notably overcooked, the sauce was too oily and the meat tasted like any other ground meat - the gaminess of the wild boar that I like so much was totally lost. My own Lamb Bolognese that I cooked at home a couple of months ago was much better, and I'm an amateur. The interior is nice, modern rustic with a mix of outdoor and indoor spaces. Price was $90 out the door for two for the above, if the food was better it would be a nice choice at that price. As it is, it's just an also ran. We were considering Madera as a possible wedding venue but based on this experience, we're looking elsewhere.

This was our 2nd time at Madera Kitchen and we highly recommend getting in before they get too popular and get swamped. We opted to share several small plates to get a wider taste of the menu. We had the marinated olives, endive salad, ceviche, burrata flatbread, fried crab mac & cheese. The only thing we would probably pass on next time is the mac & cheese. It wasn't bad, it was just super heavy to finish with. Matea was our server and gave us completely impeccable service. She was knowledgeable of the specifics we asked about and was attentive without being intrusive.

Came here for a Sunday brunch with my sister and a couple other people for a table of 6. We were quickly seated at an outside table. They weren't too packed for a weekend which was nice. Our waiter was so friendly and obviously is someone who takes the time to know his customers well. My sister and her boyfriend knew him by name since they eat there a lot but he was super friendly and got to know the rest of our table as well. It felt like we were eating at home. He recommended us a couple of their drinks and my sister and I both got a glass of champagne with a popsicle inside. I mean brunch in LA--gotta get a little bougie. Everyone in our table either ordered the Chilaquiles or the Chicken and Waffle. The chicken and waffle was HIGHLY recommended by my sister and her boyfriend and definitely lived up to its hype. The chilaquilles are also delicious! Seriously had such a good time getting brunch here and the cute patio decor doesn't hurt at all!

Came on a sunday evening before going to the Pantages for Hamilton (which lived up to the hype, btw!!). It was not busy, there were probably only 15-20 people in the restaurant. We were very impressed by the ambiance - a beautiful covered outdoor patio with fireplaces and fire pits. The seats looked cozy too! They even have one of those trendy photobooths - which was super fun! Our service was a little slow, but maybe we were just antsy trying to finish dinner in a timely fashion to get to our show. They bring out bread and chimichurri butter - both very delicious. We got the burrata flatbread (the crust was a little thicker than i'm use to for flatbreads, but the taste was good!) We also got the goat cheese, corn, mushroom ravioli - absolutely delicious!! Overall good food, beautiful ambiance. I'm sure it would be a popular place to hang out on a Friday/Saturday evening. I would definitely recommend it as a dinner spot before going to the Pantages for dinner!

Had an awesome brunch here with hubby and two of my friends. We sat at a table outside since it was a beautiful day. I love the decor, so many intricate details all around the entire restaurant. We ordered bottomless mimosas, which come with an option of OJ, Guava or peach juice. Our waiter, Dani, was friendly, attentive and most importantly, kept the mimosas flowing. The presentation of our food was beautiful and everything tasted amazing! Be sure to make a reservation because this place gets packed.

It is policy for bartenders to add tips without asking. Both my friend and I ordered drinks from two different bartenders and they both took our cards and added their own tip. Will never return.

I have been here on two occasions and the experience was pretty nice both times. On my first visit over the summer (a sunny Saturday around noon), there was a sort of day party going on complete with a DJ! We did not have a reservation and it only took about 5 minutes to be seated. We ordered a carafe of the "All In Thyme" cocktail (Bourbon, peach, jalapeño and thyme)...super yummy and potent! My friend had fish tacos and enjoyed them. I had the burrata pizza (blistered cherry tomatoes, arugula, pesto and pine nuts) and ate every bite. My second visit was a couple weekends ago for their Sunday brunch. This time, we ordered a popsicle mimosa! What a fun idea. I ordered the chilaquiles and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it was. Although I know it to be a Spanish dish, Madera Kitchen put a Mediterranean twist on it. Green tomato sauce, pulled pork, chickpeas, feta, avocado and your choice of egg. Brilliant! The scene is cute and I suggest you sit outside on the patio if tour visit on a clear, sunny day.

Great place for Brunch! Valet service is $9 Customer Service: Excellence! Nice waitress sat right in and recommended us We ordered the 21 French. Brioche French toast with fresh sautéed strawberry and bananas. It had a brown sugar rum sauce. Then ordered the chicken and waffle. The waffle was made with buttermilk and it had mixed herb fried chicken. Creamy chipotle maple syrup was amazing. The Bottomless Mimosa for 2 is $32. Overall this place is a perfect place for Brunch and Lunch. Beautiful setting, lots of room, and definitely coming back again.

Came for dinner on a Friday night and I have to say I'm quite disappointed. When we arrived, there was no valet in sight (even though it states online they provide it) and it was a bit difficult to find street parking in this area of Hollywood. It's a cute restaurant so we were excited to try out the food. As we ordered, the waiter informed us of many things they were out of.. it was odd to be out of so much stuff (especially for a Friday night). The only apps we got to try were ceviche, Brussels and fries. The Brussels was the only one we enjoyed. I got the duck Ragu and it was very thick lasagna pieces even though it states parpadelle. It was very chewy. The fish was ordered and the ratio from rice to fish is laughable. Also the fish was fishy tasting! The chimichurri steaks we ordered stated on the menu that it came on celery root purée but were brought to us over cooked fried potatoes. We had a birthday and wanted to order desert but the waiter said they may not have the one desert they offer. We decided to get desert elsewhere. The service was very slow. The food took 40 mins to get out to us. Our waiter was MIA for most of the evening. All in all, it was a very strange dining experience and we didn't enjoy our food. Side note: their floors ruined one of my expensive leather heels.. my stiletto fell into one of the cracks in the floor and slashed my shoe. It was devastating.

My girlfriend and I came here this past Sunday Funday for brunch and bottomless mimosas. It was a perfect 80 degrees kind of day so we sat outside. The service is quick and friendly, I can't remember our waiters name but he was funny, and attentive, very quick to serve our food and always had our glasses filled. We both ordered the chicken and waffles which was recommended by our waiter. The chicken was juicy, tender and full of flavor! The waffle was also a very tasty addition. We unanimously agreed that we loved this dish and will definitely be back!

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time. Good happy hour (recommend the fried chicken). Staff was nice. Knocked a star because food wasn't anything special and it was pretty empty for a Friday night (I prefer a more happening vibe) Would still return!

Came here for an event with family and friends. The management did a fantastic job at keeping everything going smooth. They serve a bunch of walk around appetizers that were delicious including fried mac and cheese balls and fried chicken and waffles. For the main dishes it was buffet-style and everything came out cooked nicely well-seasoned and fresh. Everyone had a great time and I would definitely come back and check this place out for lunch or dinner. Has a great patio and open vibe.

I reeeeeaaaly wanted to enjoy this place but I didn't. It's a really cute restaurant/bar but the food was not up to standards. My husband, mother-in-law and I went to Madera for her birthday dinner. It's a neighborhood restaurant and I always wanted to give it a try. Mom had the fish, duck Pasta, and I had the squid ink pasta. Mom said the fish had no flavor and was dry, my husbands pasta was all stuck together like it had been cooked hours before and the duck was very dry(we actually sent this , and my pasta tasted like it was out of a box and not cooked well. And they do not have iced-tea. We did have the Brussel sprouts appetizer and it was actually very tasty. I probably wouldn't eat there again for a while but I would still go have a drink.

Medera Kitchen offers a great dining experience in a reasonable price. Their outdoor area is charming and elegant. I went there with my boyfriend to have dinner. We had a very sweet server who took care of us all evening. He explained the menu and specials. We ordered two cocktails, two appetizers, and two entrees. The cocktails were refreshing and well presented. Bartender was super friendly! We tried the ceviche and a salad. The appetizers were big and perfect for sharing! Lamb fish was well flavored! New York Steak was overlooked and didn't have much flavor. Very nice experience! You can find free street parking or pay for valet

Really disappointed by this place. The aesthetic and furniture of this restaurant is beautiful but the food was subpar. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which was decent but pretty basic for $22. My friends ordered drinks that were so tiny and not worth the price. Also, we were seated outside because when we arrived at 1 pm they told us they'd be closing down @ 3 pm because of a wedding, which is fine. The outside seating wasn't actually outside but by the door and in an open setting. It was so unbearably hot and had no AC.Overall I wold not come back here nor would i recommend it.

My wife and I came here for Sunday brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a wonderful experience because of two words... BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS! If you're interested, we made a video about our experience: https://youtu.be/LkRud7Br6Q0 Decor (5/5) There was outdoor seating and indoor seating. We were sitting outside and they did a great job of making it feel like a modern outdoor patio, wile also maintaining a good grip on the road noise to keep a really nice ambiance in the room. The parking sucks, which is unfortunately typical of LA, but they did have a valet service if you are willing to shell out the 10 bucks for the service fee. Service (4/5) There is a 2 hour limit, but there was a delay in getting the food and refills for the mimosas. Now, I still think they deserve a 4 because we were a huge party and 60% of our party had bottomless mimosas. That's a LOT of refilling to do and they were very busy because uhh... BRUNCH... The restaurant was chock full of people so no members of the team were sitting around like pictures on Instagram... haha Food (4/5) The food was good. I ordered the steak, but was definitely expecting it to be thicker. They asked me how I wanted the steak and I requested medium rare, but that would be impossible because of how thin the steak was. Although the steak was thin, it was complemented by the egg and other flavors wonderfully. I just took a slice and mixed everything on top. The jalapenos were a very nice touch! Altogether for our meal, tax, tip, and bottomless mimosas we spent about $80.

Loved this place! Service was really good and also food. I have to say menu is not too wide but options are great. I went with my wife and some friends and ordered the Parma ham + Burrata sandwich and the French toast. Very satisfied I loved the outside are, atmosphere is very Mediterranean. I'm coming back again for sure Personal recommendation: Bring some friends get some brunch and enjoy the 16 USD Free bar mimosa until 3:30pm. Great times!

Scenery is so so cute. We sat on the patio, loved the vibes. The server was excellent and very attentive. I got the Brussels sprouts, a flat bread, and the vegan pasta. My friend and I shared. I definitely want to come for brunch- I've heard great things about it. I went on a Saturday night. Not busy at all, it was nice!

I had my birthday brunch here and though the restaurant was pretty empty, we still had a blast! Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive which I always love. I always have a great time here (:

I'll start off with the service here was great. They were top of all our needs, constantly making sure our drink's were full and did it all with a smile. The reason for rating is the kitchen. They took a long with our order. In addition, our party of 6 they brought out the order separately with long gaps of time in between. After receiving all of our food, my sister's French toast was burnt and the eggs were over cooked. The eggs in my In omelette was not prepared well. We also found foil in one of our drinks. I expected something completely different with such a great decor and ambiance. I do want to stress the front of house service was excellent and they did an AMAZING job at trying to manage the mistakes that were made.

I made a reservation through OpenTable @ 7:00 pm on a Friday because it was a 1,000 point table and I wanted to try something new for date night. We were seated immediately and the restaurant was pretty much empty which made me worry a bit. However, the food we ordered was great! The burrata appetizer was fantastic as was my ragout entree. Wonder why this beautiful restaurant isn't busier?

Amazing service and food. Great DJ for Sunday brunch! The mimosa carafe is customizable for $32..I loved the chicken and waffles. Couch white meat served with Belgium waffle and whipped topping syrup and berries...Simply an amazing experience in Hollywood, a must visit

We came for Sunday brunch, arnd 11:45 for chop it Sundays and were immediately seated outside. The service was great and $14 for bottomless mimosas isn't too bad...but I think they use cheap champagne. Its now 6pm and I still have a headache, but my last drink was b4 3:30pm. Now the food was delicious!!!! We had the French toast, chicken n waffles and split an omelette. Everything was so good! The syrup on the waffles was extremely good and the brioche French toast had great flavor. All the ingredients of the omlette tasted really fresh. We went the wknd of BET wknd so they weren't quite prepared for the crowd, but I definitely referred the venue to my friends. This is in the location that formerly housed Shag and Wonderland. Don't sit outside in the summertime, as they don't have enough shading and hubby was sweating after 12:30pm. If they can get better champagne, I'd give them 5 stars. We found street parking nearby to avoid the $9 valet and really enjoyed the DJ. He played a mix of 90s r&b/pop.

By far my favorite sit down spot in Hollywood . With guava mimosas flowing and Afro beats playing in the background this place was the place to be for Sunday brunch on a beautiful sunny day. Cultured and melanin excellence with a trendy and artsy vibes. The accent walls were by far my favorite! An absolutely amazing experience with phenomenal service and simply amazing food . The chicken and waffles was by far perfect . Nothing was left on my plate . The mimosas carafe was perfect as 3 of us split it for only 32 bucks and we each got 3 glasses . If you ever go to California do yourself the justice and visit this place .

I don't think I need to come back unless there's a change in the kitchen. Not sure if there is even an executive chef or just a hodge podge of cooks who don't really know what they're doing? It's not a cohesive menu, to put it mildly. It's completely all over the place. From sashimi, to pastas, to steaks. But we decided to give it a go anyway. The ambiance and setup is quite nice, so I had high hopes, regardless of the reviews. I had made a reservation for a friend and I for 8:30pm...reservation was so not necessary. At no given time, were there more than 15 diners in what probably seats at least 70-80. Not a great sign, but hey...it's Wednesday. Our server was sweet, but 'front of house' and servers can only do so much when the food just isn't up to snuff. To dismiss it as being "a bit pricy" is silly, so ignore those reviews. Because I will gladly pay more than what I did pay, if the food is stellar. It's not the prices that are the issue, it's the conception and execution that is lacking. (Our bill was $111 before tip for the two of us...with two glasses of wine each). French baguette slices with a garlic-herb butter were placed on the table while we perused the menu and sipped our wine. The bread...not fresh, not grilled...not good...is just s ever sliced and slightly stale. We got the burrata to start/share and the "Watercrest salad". The salad was actually really yummy...the pomegranate champagne vinaigrette was spot on. That's where the major-yum-factor ended. The burrata, was served with this slightly sweet/super stale bread (different than the other sliced bread we got) that was just gross. I asked if we could get some of the French baguette but toasted or grilled please. It came out one minute later, barely grilled. It was served with fresh tomatoes so that was ok, but not even the tiniest sprinkle of a finishing salt, which would have elevated everything. I asked for some salt...I got table salt. Sigh. Then I had ordered the goat cheese ravioli and my friend had the squid ink pasta. The goat cheese used in this dish was definitely not a high quality goat cheese. More sour notes than anything else. And the whole dish had been conceptualized by someone who was just not sure what to do..."let's throw some grilled corn on here and maybe mushrooms, and HEY! Let's fry a piece of kale and chuck that on it too!" It wasn't awful, but IT WASN'T GOOD. Just a let down really. My friend said her squid ink pasta was "interesting". She wouldn't elaborate, so I can't say much on it, but she ate about one third of it, if that tells you anything. Our server asked if we wanted anything boxed up to which we said no way. It was sad enough when served immediately, I can't imagine what it would be like eaten the next day! He offered us A dessert...yup, apparently they only make one dessert. A churro ice cream sandwich. We figured if they only offer one dessert, it just be amazing. Wrong. One of the great things about churros is that they're crunchy exterior pairs so beautifully with that warm chewy center. Not this one. The flat churro disks are fried to the point of just being greasy frisbees. The oil was not heated high enough before dropping the batter in the oil, which just results in being grease-laden. The ice cream that it came with also just didn't taste right. (Our server did remove this from the bill though). I wanted to like this place. It's a cute environment/ambiance/decor. But if the food isn't great, why go back?! If management/owners are reading this, it's time to change it up in the kitchen! If half stars were an option, I would have scored it a 2.5 because of that salad, which was worth an extra half star!

Cute restaurant, I went for brunch with a couple of friends, unfortunately the dj was not in attendance this Sunday. The bottomless mimosas were good, the waiter was on point and kept us filled the whole time!

Nice eatery!!! Chicken and waffles was delicious!! Breakfast burger delicious as well

Initially I was really hesitant about trying this place due to the mixed reviews, but I'm glad I finally decided to check it out! I came on a Wednesday night for a dinner date. There were plenty of seating options, and the staff was very attentive. We ordered a drink at the bar area first, closed out, and asked to be seated for dinner in the outdoor patio area. The place is nicely designed, and the atmosphere was definitely on the romantic side with nice dim lighting. We ordered the brussels sprouts to start - very tasty! For the main course, we shared the cheese ravioli and the vegan pasta. Both dishes were full of flavor! A little on the rich side, but that helped fill us up. There was plenty of food leftover between the two of us, and I was happy to take the rest home, as to not waste delicious food. I'd love to come back to try brunch sometime!

I would highly recommend NOT having your wedding here. Where do I even begin? We had 100 guests (the venue said they could handle 200?!). FOOD: The dinner was family style and not one dish came out hot. It was easily the worst wedding food I've ever had. Overcooked. Cold. Almost inedible. At $260/head for everything this kind of quality is inexcusable. THE STAFF: While most of the staff were nice, there was a level of unprofessionalism and sloppiness that was unacceptable for someone's wedding day. Bartender was drunk by the end of the night. Wait staff and cooks were out front smoking weed and cigarettes right next to the valet DURING the reception. Dinner took easily 2 hours. They had the tables laid out in a way that the staff couldn't even serve the dishes properly. They were passing cold food to the end of the table and then having the guests "pass it down". Again, the food quality was AWFUL. The wedding coordinator was also late to the ceremony. HIGHLIGHTS: The photographer. She was kind, patient and very sweet. VALET: it's not an easy area for the valet workers, however they were super fast and handled the guests really well.

Loved their chicken and waffles. Chicken was juicy and waffles were warm and toasty. Our waitress was a total sweetheart and went far and beyond to serve us.

Would recommend because of its nice atmosphere and roasted half chicken. Food 4: I think it's pretty good. We ordered: --Roasted half chicken, and it came with dates and potato, which i really liked it, good combo! $23 --Burrata flatbread because our server recommended it, but I was actually a bit disappointed...needs more flavor $17 --BBQ chicken flatbread: average --Oxtail flatbread: more sophisticated flavor with braised oxtail and truffle oil --Saved Brussels sprouts: it's a salad with fried chickpeas. It surprised me with its texture and its standout dressing! --Market fish ceviche: so much flavor, and fish tastes fresh. Environment is good with their little flower and candles decors, and servers are so friendly and genuine. Birthday girl got a piece of cake that tastes like churro
