Tina Trankiem: Cheese grits are awesome. So are the flank steak, lemon ice box desser & the apple pie dumpling (ask for it with ice cream)
Brian Toth: Impressed. Outstanding. Pimiento cheese & grilled bread, sliced ham & pickles, brussel sprout salad w/ cheddar & bacon vinaigrette, shrimp & grits, pecan pie w/ choc ice cream. Ready to Repeat..
Eater: The H + The H has reached a critical mass in popularity, and the biscuits are to blame. There's also a terrific plate of shrimp & grits, maple-glazed pork chop, or barbecued lobster.

Pocket Sun: European style brunch table is the best! $42 per person but it's worth it. Great salmon, oysters, shrimps, caviar and prime rib. Pastries are not as good as I thought though.
gina mom: Brunch buffet here is pretty amazing. Beautiful set up all around, exquisite meats like prime rib & exotic touches like caviar & that gazpacho- totes recommended! Esp if you get a private dining room.
G$: Sit by one of the fireplaces, it's more private!

Jake Tenorio: The short ribs and grits are amazing! The grits are so creamy, the short ribs melt with tenderness.
Rachel Mercer: Great people watching if you sit outside. The charcuterie plate is delicious (especially the chicken liver!) - and you can't go wrong with a burger, though the chicken baguette is also quite yummy!
Tee: Dont forget to validate your parking ticket!

Juston Payne: Sandwiches, soups, and breads are fantastic. Be warned: they're also huge.
Anthony Lagasca: One of my favorite joints in L.A. Breakfast served all day.
