Sal’s

This was probably some of the best Salmon I have ever had! It was perfectly cooked and glazed lightly, sitting on a generous bed of angel hair pasta, tomatoes, asparagus and capers with a light lemon drizzle. It was worth every penny of the $ 15.
The service was extremely slow but bearable with the endless mimosas which are $ 12 and all day! The spectacular prices and taste make it worth the slow service. Will be coming back and recommending.

O. O best burger i’ve had in a long time! and bottomless drinks were nicely priced. definitely need to return to try more

Ordered steak and eggs, rare steak. Steak came in medium well, returned it, came back cold, rare and very salty. Calamari very bready, water too lemony. Overall, disappointed.

This place is awesome. Good prices, HUGE menu, breakfast lunch & dinner all day, everyday. And bottomless mimosas/​sangria everyday. My kind of place!
I had the New Orleans, but got it with pasta instead of rice. Yumm!
I will definitely be back. So many great things on the menu to try out!

I come here often for weekend brunch bc it’s nowhere near the wait of blu jam across the street and equally as good if not better. The scrambles are usually my favorite but today I veered to the California Kale Salad which is amazing. Pair it with bottomless mimosas and you have a wonderful brunch ensemble!

Nice people, but wasn’t feelin’ the food. Turkey burger was… eh. Sweet potato fries were OKAY. Lattes are better at Starbucks… which isn’t saying much.

I use the app Eat24 to order in delivery from here. First and last time that is going to happen.
The food showed up on time. And the chicken wings were good. The big disappointment was the pizza slice and cannoli.
The pizza slice was very obviously reheated then left to get cold/​soggy.
The cream in the cannoli was bitter/​sour like it has spoiled. The crust was mushy.
Very disappointing.

Love this place! Second review and even more good things to say! Tanisha is amazing as is the whole awesome staff! place is delicious and well priced. We go here almost every week!

I’ve been coming to this place for over 2 years. It was the first place I came to in LA when I moved here.
It has definitely changed over time for the better but the menu and the prices of food stay the same and Sal has continue to provide great service and amazing food at an affordable price.
Sundays are always packed I remember going there back in the day and blue jam Café would always be packed and Sals would be a little slow but now both restaurants are neck and neck as far as big crowds
The staff is amazing from Bobby Billy Tanisha on down everyone provides and a great experience for all customers new or old you will be treated like family no matter what.
The bottom the sangria & mimosas are by far what I would come by for every week if I was able to. Definitely had some great times with great friends and met amazing people there at the same time.
that’s when you know you’re in the right type of place it’s the perfect setting for meeting good people and having a great time

This is my second time here and I’m hooked. The food is amazing. Last time I came I got the new Orleans, which was Amazing! You can find a picture on my reviews. I liked it so much that i was going to get it for breakfast, but my bf convinced me to try something new.
This time around I ordered the 222, overmedium eggs with italian sausage, hashbrowns and french toast. The french toast were to die for, please note that i usuallly don’t eat sweets, but I couldn’t stop eating them. Food was delicious. My bf got the steak and eggs and he was also satisfied. I stole a piece and I also agree that it was good. Service was good. Def going to be a regular here.

Omg!!!
We stopped by for the 1^st time & omg!!! It was so good
& the prices are good too!!!

The food was amazing, service was decent. But the way the servers and food runners barge through the restaurant really takes away from the experience.
In my service days, we were trained to give the right away to the guest. That doesn’t apply here. Watch your back, you might get trampled.

Came here just for desserts after dinner with my girlfriends since this was the only place opened around Sunday night. Decent tiramisu but their marble ice coffee was something unique I tried. Slow service and not very clean. We sat in the patio but still smells funky… Maybe it was coming from the uncleaned table. I dunno.

Hi Sal! Pretty sure we met you while we were brunching! Thanks for the good food and hiring super nice employees and also dealing with my loud ass screeching every 5 seconds even though I know for a fact that you got complaints from other cranky brunchers!
Came to Sal’s for the first time last weekend for a friend’s birthday brunch and the service was beyond fantastic. My friend made a reservation for a large party and they set up the entire side of the restaurant for us and even put vases of assorted candies on the tables for the occasion. The two servers that we had were attentive and quick to bring anything we needed. I had given them a cake upon arrival and requested that they bring it out for the birthday boy when I asked and not only did they do that, but they also served it on a tray of cutely dolloped whipped cream and brought out extra plates & utensils for the party.
Someone complained about us (mostly me) being loud, and while they did bring it to our attention, we all agreed (by «all» I also mean me, and the server just laughed and nodded) that this was brunch + a celebration so that lady should’ve just BluJam’ed her ass outta there if she wasn’t down.
After a several rounds of refilling everyone’s mimosas and sangria, the servers ended up just leaving pitchers of the drinks on our tables. I repeat, THE SERVERS LEFT PITCHERS OF DRINKS ON OUR TABLES.
Will be back. Save me a pitcher of strawberry mimosas, Sal.

I like this place! I came here in the morning for breakfast and ordered a breakfast crêpe and my friend ordered the benedict lobster. OJ & coffee. Perf breakfast.
The service here is always accommodating and they’re very friendly :)

Service on this DAY! Was unacceptable! Upon being seated by the host… I sat at my table for approximately 15minutes. 8 of which the host placed a bottle of water on the table, because obviously it was 102 degrees inside… LOOKS UP. The ceiling fan is not even moving. Aside from that, I waited, waited… waited… 15minutes at my table. Solo! No menu! Nothing. Unattended! Until finally a person came up. Not even my waiter, to assist. Another few minutes past, my so called waitress glides over… Ugh. I know what I want. Only seen her twice, to take the order and come over after my second bite. Saying the cooks are slammed is a WEAK excuse. They’re slammed all the time.
Start working on being more present to your guest /​efficient throughout.
Host sits you with all table layouts. Let’s you know who will be your server etc… Host should tell server… «Ummm have you been to your table» slow down and pay attention. And CLOSE THE DOOR! The damn swarming flys.
Food was great! But the customer service headache was unsatisfactory! Tighten it up. It’s only my second time.

Had a great lunch at Sal’s! My server, Bobby, was THE BEST! He was very attentive and helpful with all my questions about the menu!
Speaking of the menu, it’s not just pizza! They have ALL kinds of delicious food to schhose from! I had a grilled chicken sandwich with their home made fries! SO GOOD!
It’s a relaxing environment with the BEST staff! Thanks again Bobby for making my Tuesday a little brighter with your great attitude and awesome food!

So we ended up at Sal’s because BluJam had a long wait and my friend’s hunger was real. I wasn’t about to test the limits of hangry (yes, hangry) and since the wait was shorter, Sal’s seemed like a good idea. Foodie commandment #5 if there isn’t a long wait, think twice before you subject your tastebuds to it.
I ordered a latte and banana nut pancakes. The latte was nice and warm. It should be noted that that I got mine with whole milk. The pancakes were just okay… nothing special. Basically, they have banana and walnut on the inside and are topped with whip cream, strawberries, and what tasted like Hershey’s chocolate syrup. Honestly, the description in the menu made them sound better than they tasted. In a nutshell, they were mediocre… remember the first time you made pancakes for your mom on Mother’s Day? Yeah, like that. Nothing I’d rush over to Sal’s for again.
In terms of service, well, we experienced both sides of the spectrum. Our first server was great. He was attentive and cheerful. His shift ended just as we were eating so he had to leave. Sadly, our second server wasn’t nearly as great. We had to search for our second server like she was Carmen San Diego. Once we were finished, I presented her with our Unilocal check in to get the 25% off promotion/​discount (this was just before I asked for the bill) and when the bill came, there was no discount. Womp womp. It’s too bad they didn’t want to honor the check in discount.

We were walking around Melrose while the car was being washed and were looking for a place to eat. At first glance from across the street this place looks like a one «$» category on Unilocal but when we walked in it was so much nicer. The décor was tasteful, not diner-​esque, modern, and clean.
They have strawberry mimosas here and they were suuuuuuper yummy.
I had the burratta to start. It was super yummy and fresh. They were very generous with the tomatoes as well.
I also had the California Kale Salad. I added on the Ahi Tuna Steak but it was a bit overcooked. Tuna steaks are usually served rare and this one was more like medium. The salad itself was really yummy.
My bf had the turkey panini. Sounded like a light sandwich one the menu but it was super super heavy. I was too full to enjoy it.
I checked in and got 25% off of the food on the bill so that was nice!
Overall great place to go to while waiting for your car to get washed

Alright food first then server review:
Yes to California kale salad.
Maybe to lobster Benedict and daily bottomless mimosas.
Not again to Brie poached and California calzone. Calzone is oily, even without cheese. Brie poached has a weird taste — like syrup or soy sauce. Not sure if it’s the bread or combination of ingredients but it doesn’t work for me.
Bobby is very nice. Sassy and compliant like I like my servers. He went above and beyond to bring us a sampler because we were unsure of which beverage to get. Very much appreciated. He is also smart, which I really appreciate!
