If you’re on the Westside, M Street Kitchen is a must if only for their crispy hash brown eggs benedict. The restaurant’s onsite bakery turns out fresh from the oven treats daily. Check their website for the ever changing selection. Gluten free options are available as are a variety of vegetarian dishes. This place makes a mean bloody mary – if you’re in to that sort of thing. Otherwise, they’ve got a full coffee bar offering lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, ice-blended drinks and more.

This place is really a stand out for their excellent food and top notch service. It’s the most upscale of the above listed restaurants, but definitely worth the splurge. The cooking is California/Mediterranean inspired and ingredients come from local, organic farmers.
Try the farm fresh egg white omelet, the Scandia beef brisket hash or the house made granola and yogurt. And for all you movie buffs out there, the restaurant is housed in Charlie Chaplin’s former office building.
