TASTE RESTAURANT on MELROSE

I have eaten brunch at Taste in West Hollywood twice now and must write about it. It's so damn good. First and foremost the restaurant is a quaint, dark wood structure accented with bright pillows and windows facing Melrose. It's perfectly designed for comfort in rain or shine and I've been there for both. The first time I ate there I had the Southwest Scramble and bottomless mimosa. It was tastey but I was more impressed by the trendy yet lazy atmosphere of the place and the elevated seating which allowed me a great view for people watching. The second time I dined at Taste it was simply delicious. I ordered the Braised Short Rib Hash with scrambled egg (instead of poached), red pepppers, potatoes and bearnaise sauce. My boyfriend decided on the crab Cake Benedict with rosemary garlic potatoes. Both were absolutely yum. That's the best description I can give. Yum. Yum. The hash is $14.75 and the crab cake benedict is $15.25. Enjoy a Sunday brunch at Taste. It's worth it.

I read reviews on Trip Advisor about Taste simply to see other's opinions of the place and think those who gave the restaurant a low rating are nuts and probably complain about stars, toenails, popcorn, itunes, pens, carpet, etc. I'm sure nothing makes them happy.

SETA RESTAURANT

Within the cute downtwon area of Whittier on the corner of Bright and Philadelpia is a restaurant I highly recommend called Seta. I first heard about Seta through a friend who said they had a Sunday brunch with bottomless Mimosas for $12.00. My interest was peaked and I decided to check it out this past weekend. When I first walked in to the establishment I thought it was much to swanky for the bottomless mimosas and $8.00 breakfast plates. The decor is very modern and fung shui friendly with flat screen tv's on alternating walls. I was led to a an indoor patio area that felt like a large cabana at the W with billowing curtains and my own private television. I ordered the eggs,potato and bacon plate with the Mimosa. I am happy to report that the server swung by my table every 10 minutes to make sure my champagne flute was properly maintained. The food - with the exception of the dried out bacon - was excellent. This place is yet another gem in the city of Whittier.
