breakfast spot  4 Star Rating - Very good

I think the key here is: breakfast. I have been several times for breakfast and am never disappointed. Try the eggs florentine...I get it without the sauce. yum.

Mimosas anyone?  5 Star Rating - World class

Truly a great place for breakfast. Just be warned they only serve breakfast on Sat and Sun. The eggs benedict are some of the best I have had. The huevos rancheros are also great. Definitely have a mimosa.
Parking is a bit challenging, but so worth it.
The staff here is wonderful and they offer specials during the week and especially for holidays.
Check out their website.

Excellent! 5 Star Rating - World class

My husband and I have been here many times and love it! The owner is very friendly and will even sit down with you and chat. The canard(duck) and mignonettes au porto are absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is relaxed and casual which makes for a very enjoyable dining experience.

Pros: Relaxing atmosphere, friendly
Cons: None that I can think of

Very charming 5 Star Rating - World class

We came here on a rainy evening in February 2006. I was so impressed by the service here. This is a cozy, romantic cafe in America's second largest city, located mere blocks from LAX that feels like it's in a small town on some off-beaten path. Delicious food. Will definitely return.

Pros: The owner is very involved in the dining experience
Cons: None that I can think of

Tasty 4 Star Rating - Very good

We went here for dinner during the week. When we got there, it was pretty empty. The staff was courteous and helpful. It started to fill up with people, mostly an older crowd. The appetizers were great--I'd go back just for those. The calamari was in a light batter, almost like tempura, and the brie/pear quesadillas were delicious. The main courses were good, nothing out of the park.

Pros: Good value, service
Cons: Parking is a little challenging

Great! 4 Star Rating - Very good

i really enjoy eating here. The food is well made- I had a GREAT veggie omellete that came with fresh vegetables and hearty brown rice. The atmosphere feels welcoming and home-y. A step up from those guilty pleasure greasy spoon places... the upkeep inside could be done a little better, it seems a little dingy when you really look at it, but to me it just adds to the charm of the place. I thought the service was good. Non-intrusive, prompt and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an honest meal in a relaxing environment.

Pros: Hearty, healthy food, Great Service, Relaxing Atmosphere
Cons: Lacking social scene

Quaint Charmer by the Beach 5 Star Rating - World class

We've eaten at Bistro Soleil at least 7 times in the past year and the food is always great. The Croque Monsieur and fries cannot be beat at lunchtime and the salmon and Dijon chicken are also top notch. It's also a good value. Attitude-free, good service, rarely crowded, easy parking.

Pros: Value, Service, Authentic & fresh
Cons: Atmosphere
