Clark Street Diner, previously 101 coffee shop, has preserved the mid-century style dining experience. Having gone to Clark street (Brentwood), I knew the potential for what Clark Street Diner had to offer. That is: quality of ingredients, attentive staff, and an overall great dining experience. Environment: Clark Street is located at the Alder Hotel, whether it is a weekday or weekend, the place will be filled. I believe the MCM environment really brings out and enhances the ambiance, during my couple of visits there was chatter from all angles, which is great. The staff were attentive and made sure my water/coffee cup was filled when it close to being empty. Food & Beverages: The plates ordered were the diner breakfast and challah French toast w/ berries, paired along with a filtered coffee and hot latte. The French toast is what made me visit this diner, if I’m being honest, they looked immaculate on picture. To keep it short, if you’re a first time visiter, you’ll have to order the French toast as it fluffy, big sized portioned (can easily share with multiple people), and not overly sweetened. It’s a great French toast, not an astounding one but a good competitor to other French toasts in LA. The Sonora Pancakes, a flour that is naturally buttery and sweet, surprised my taste buds as it was soft, moist, and just pleasant to the palate. These are not your typical pancakes, as it has a distinct flavor. The coffee and latte were both great, no complaints there. Overall: Clark Street Diner is a bang for your buck, the price will match the portions and quality in ingredients. The MCM environment fills that nostalgic feeling, while amplifying the ambience for a great dining experience. I will definitely return to try out different menu items. If you are reading up to this point, I tend to leave crumbs for the readers. First, parking can be a hassle, free parking along the residential streets and valet parking is offered at $10 on the east side of the building. Second, if you are with a partner or just a party of two, sit at the counter as there is usually no wait time (faster service too and a better dining experience imo). Third, free refills for coffee incase you’re wondering. Fourth, you have to try the French toast or the Sonora style pancakes, adding berries is a must. Lastly, at the lobby of the Alder Hotel, there will be a plethora of celebrity photos, such as Sir Paul and Sylvester Stallone.

Surprisingly, on my way home from work, I received a text from my wife with a picture of her and our middle son, Julian, enjoying breakfast at the Clark Street Diner. The message simply said, "Hey, join us!" So, I decided to join them. When I walked in, I saw them sitting on the left side of the restaurant, but by the time I got there, they hadn't really started with their chicken and waffles. It took a while for the waiter to come to our table, which was a bit strange. When he finally arrived, I ordered an Egg McMuffin, hash browns, and orange juice. I was quite disappointed when the orange juice arrived; the portion was so small that I jokingly asked the waitress if it was a sample. My wife and son laughed at my frustration over the tiny cup. When my Egg McMuffin finally came, it was a mess with melted cheese everywhere. I tried to call the waiter who delivered it to let him know that my hash browns were missing, but he just walked off. Despite the mess, I added a little hot sauce and dug in. Meanwhile, my wife and son were anxiously asking, "Where are your hash browns?" They kept trying to get the waitress's attention, but she seemed busy attending to other tables. By the time she finally looked over, I had finished my meal and was ready to go. I was really annoyed about the orange juice situation and the lack of attention from the staff. This was my second visit to Clark Street Diner, and unfortunately, it was a thumbs down for me. I’d rate it a four, but I really didn't enjoy the experience. It felt rushed, and just as I was finishing up, another waiter approached me, presumably to check on my bill, which felt unnecessary since I hadn't even paid yet. Overall, I was ready to leave as soon as I got there.

My husband and I stayed at the Adler A Hollywood Hotel and this was the only eatery on-site. The food seemed to be relatively more pricey than other breakfast counterparts so we read the reviews to see if the food was really worth trying. The reviews have been quite stellar and I haven't had the quintessential American diner experience. It's also usually crowded every time we walked past it so we decided to give their breakfast a try on our last day in LA. Now, in retrospect from reading many reviews, I get what people say about the service; we were in line at 8.15 am on a Saturday and there were about 5 people in front of us. The catch? There were still many unoccupied tables in the restaurant! I am not sure why we weren't seated first and were made to wait for a good 15 minutes before someone finally attended to the people in the queue. The food was alright though - I ordered eggs Florentine and my husband got the buttermilk pancakes with bananas. The former was just as one would expect - creamy Hollandaise sauce with eggs (which once again - America - your eggs are flavourless!) while the buttermilk pancakes can be super filling as they were really fluffy! The host was really warm as well as she constantly checked on the satisfaction of the patrons. We got that the diner was loud and noisy which was fine, and do note that your clothes will likely reek of the scent of the place (slightly oily) after your meal if you dine in. However, I'm not sure what 'kitchen appreciation fee' means on my receipt and do note that the default starting tip is 20% on their system though you still have the liberty to offer a custom one.

We originally found 101 Coffee Shop on Google trying to find a good diner, and we were led to “Clarks Street Diner.” I was greatly confused at first because all of the photos of 101 looked like we were in the right place, but the menu and signage indicated something else. So I asked the waiter, and he informed me that 101 is no longer but it’s under new ownership as Clark’s. The coffee is legit, and strong unlike most diners I’ve frequented. It tasted great, life a real cup of coffee. My partner had the corned beef hash with sunny side up eggs. I went for the Diner Breakfast - some of the most delicious, buttery scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and hash browns I’ve ever had. Let’s talk about these hash browns, because they deserve special recognition. You know how sometimes you can have really crispy hash browns, like you can pick it up and eat it? Or, you may have the shredded ones that are soft and requires a fork? Somehow they made magic at Clarks and created a hash brown that could be both. The place was very clean, inside the Adler Hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. It has an old school diner feel with retro style decor and furnishings. I’d definitely re-visit if I was ever to be in that area of the Country again.

This place is your classic take on American Diner with a California Twist, and you know it's a hit when even on a weekday at 10:30-11am and the place is packed wall to wall. It's a thatched roof, one big room with booth seating and a bar and it is LOUD. If you can't handle loud everything, don't go here. Everyone is talking, there are kitchen noises, the windows don't open and it has high ceilings. We waited for about 20-25 and sat for 2 people at the bar. I'm glad we assessed the menu on the way there, because it was pretty overwhelming, but my partner ordered a plain coffee and a 2 egg breakfast and I got the challah French toast and a cortado with oatmilk. From ordering to food arrival, I'd say it was about 15 minutes and that was really for the French toast, the 2 egg breakfast with eggs medium, hashbrowns and toast was only about 5-8 minutes. The food was phenomenal, and every plate we saw looked so good, it made our decisions hard. The staff was busy but friendly and our waiter was very polite, we had mess ups or qualms with anything.
