Love this place. Make sure yall go early to reserve a table being that it's always crowded no matter the day of the week. Food is amazing some can be a little on the salty side but other then that everything is pretty good. Food is made to order so it's always fresh.

I took my cousin from out of town here for lunch. I've been here a few times before. The food is really good. The service was good but you do have to wait a little to get seated since it's walk-ins only if you go on a busy day. I had the sweet potato waffles with wings and it was delicious.

The food was amazing, the service was great. Everyone around us was enjoying their meals and it just made my visit there even more special. I'm going back to try the rest of the Mimosas lol

Had an excellent experience at The Court with my friends and wife last Sunday! We were blown away by the menu--an epic spread of comfort food with tons of flourishes (that mimosa menu?! Wow.)--and we ordered tons of food to give everything a try. All of the items we ordered were delicious! My wife was especially thrilled to try their vegan chicken and waffles, and she reported that they were excellent. All aspects of our service (getting seated, receiving menus and food, etc.) were very fast, and our server, Khorian, was extremely helpful when we had questions, super attentive, and incredibly friendly and kind! Vibe was excellent as well; great music and very home-y with televisions playing sports events. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you come in later than 11am. There was a huge line when we were leaving around 1:30, which makes perfect sense with the food being so good! If you're looking to drink some champagne, I recommend getting their deal with two bottles on tap and a flight of fruit (forgetting what this was called on the menu, but definitely check it out in the photo I included -- it was a great deal when it was all said and done)!

Food was great! I loved all of the flavors of waffles, including Sweet Potato and peach cobbler. They had tons of mimosa flavors also. The caramel apple mimosa was delicious. The service was just ok...seemed short staffed that day. One of my favorite brunch spots in LA now. Apparently Snoop Dogg bought the "medicine" shop next-door.
