Blue Daisy Melrose — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Mediocre brunch places must be stopped. It took almost 20 minutes just for my server to acknowledge me and ask what I’d like to drink. Coffee was mid. I ordered the croissant french toast ($19) which sounded great but tasted like it was cooked on the same griddle as the savory items. Weird taste to it. I couldn’t tell if the savory taste was coming from the apples or the french toast but I think it’s obvious those things shouldn’t be cooked on the same surface as bacon, eggs and seasoned potatoes. It was also soaked in syrup. The turkey bacon came out with no color and barely warmed, when I asked for it to come out crispy it came out charred but not “done” like they just put it quickly over the burner instead of COOKING it. I’ve never had turkey bacon this way. I told my server I was done, declined a coffee refill and had to wait an additional 25 minutes just to pay. Water guy kept my cup full though, I’ll...

I came in with my service dog but they had me sit outside, something I didn’t feel like challenging. They were still accommodating so I wasn’t too bothered, especially considering I have off-leash SDs and constantly face harassment, yet they handled it very well. Food is amazing, they have dishes I’ve never seen before.

I took off a star because I noticed menu items on their online menu and asked about a dish, to which the waiter argued me on. He swore I had the wrong restaurant and I was unbothered, but he still insisted I was wrong and kept going, which wasn’t pleasant to deal with. Ironically, this review is asking me how that dish was 😂 Don’t order the bananas foster or you’ll have an argument! The outside patio is cute but not much of a view. Overall...

I was impressed at how bad the service was! Ordered bottomless mimosas; our waitress decided the best time to give those to us was after our food was delivered (we ordered drinks first). She asked if it was fine if she delivered us the mimosas separated, as in champagne and orange juice separate. Sure, cause that would make it easier for them, right?

Hour later, our terrible waitress barely checks in on us, and refused to give us more champagne. Our time “ran out”, but why is that our fault when for 45 minutes she refused to serve us our drinks at first? Seriously, it takes more time to Prepare a MIMOSA than eggs Benedict? When she’s asking us to mix it ourselves?

Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Rude wait staff with mediocre food. iHop is a...
