City Kitchen — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Absolutely not, I've had it with this place. First off, they always manage to burn the omelets. Someone has got to tell the chef that nobody wants brown eggs. The atmosphere is basically four TVs showing nonstop Chive videos/trivia that are an unwelcome distraction. It's giving Buffalo Wild Wings, and the tables smell strongly of bleach.

They have no gluten free options, and if you ask the server to substitute the toast for something else like fruit, she says they won't because "toast is complimentary." Really? I don't remember being greeted with a basket of toast and salsa on the table as soon as we got in. If it were free, it should come with every order (and brought to the table the same time as the waters). Either give me a dollar off the order, or a piece of fruit, and stop being so cheap.

But I'm giving it only one star because of their sneaky 18% service charge, which is conning people into double-tipping. If we were a group of 5+, I could understand that, but there was two of us. The server has never mentioned the charge, though I remember in the past feeling the meal was more expensive than what it was really worth. After you give them your card, the server comes back with the merchant receipt where you can add even more tip (the fee not listed on this receipt). Of course, like most people, I didn't study the itemized receipt before to see they automatically charged 18% on the total bill, under the taxes. What a gyp. Countless times I must have double-tipped--and to be real--there is nothing this place has to offer that is deserving of such a high premium.

I can't believe this place manages to be so sleazy on top of serving burnt eggs and being cheap about it. Absolute disgrace. From now on, I'm walking the extra half mile to Dennys, where they don't burn the eggs, they will substitute the toast, and they won't try to pickpocket me on...

Breakfast food is definitely one of my favorite meals . While visiting my friend , he decided to bring me here to City Kitchen . Apon walking in ,only a few patrons were scattered throughout the establishment . Truthfully I didn't have high hopes but sadly I was mistaken .

Was prompted greeted and sat at the Hightop seats while we browsed the extensive menu . As I kept flipping I began to see photos of the dishes ! This made me so happy , as im a visual being and need to know what im getting myself into . There were so many options that caught my eye however I opted for the Spinach mushroom omelet .

The omelet is full of goat cheese, spinach, mushroom, avocado, sundried tomatoes and basil . The dish came with toast and a side. I opted for the fruit and upcharge for French toast . Mentally I assumed I wasn't a goat cheese girlie ,but this omelet changed my views of the cheese all together !

I just may say this was the best omelet ive had in years . The blend of ingredients , the salty and creaminess of the cheese , the sundries tomatoes and fresh basil were superbbbbbb. I literally cant bring myself to explain it any other way !

Im catching myself making assumptions alot this visit, because I also assumed the " side of fruits would be a couple berries ". Wrong again. A nice hefty side of grapes ,blueberries ,strawberries and watermelon !!

The French toast had crispy edges with a plush bouncy interior.

Now this is worth the $20 spent ! Everything is so expensive nowadays and I know eating our can be a luxury for some . This was the best $20 ive spent at an eatery in awhile . Im literally still thinking about it.

Highly recommend . Large selection Breakfast, brunch and lunch options available...

Bad customer service! Price point isn't worth the service. Quality of food was not up to par with price point and coffee was mediocre.

Also, the guy working seemed to care more about what was going on with his smartphone than us. This isn't the first occasion with this particular associate. Immediately regretted coming here as soon as I saw it was him working. Multiple times when trying to flag him down he was looking down on his phone. A customer should NOT have to ask for the check every single time they come here and see the associate playing on his phone instead of helping people who are now paying a surcharge just to come here. It was just not good service , especially for the price point.

Food was burnt. Coffee was not good. Felt ignored. Never asked how anything was. Very disappointed in this place and lack of accountability, it seems.

When the lady is working here out front it's much better but for the prices and surcharge it's not worth it at all.

Almost a $10 service charge for two people with this kind of service? Crazy.

Got home had to brush my teeth from chard French toast top.

Disappointing. Never again. Nope. Lost this customer and my guests.

There are much better places that don't treat you this way and the food...
