 | Poor Service 2010-06-28T23:47:53-07:00 How disappointing. My husband and I went here on different occasions, thinking that our first poor experience was a fluke. With its literary theme, hand-written menu, and claim to organic and non-gluten fare, we were really looking… |
| Unprofessional Service! 2010-05-09T09:03:22-07:00 The matre d was unprofessional and rude. It got so terrible that we actually had to leave the restaurant because of the crap service. If you are not the type who value professional service and being treated with respect. This place… |
| Literati is nifty. 2009-11-09T23:59:00-08:00 This is what I think a coffee shop experience should be. The decor is a history of Los Angeles. I love to look at the old photos, maps, posters. The tea selection is better than you will usually find. The food is great. I've had the… |
| Literati is the place for great food and coffee/tea. 2009-11-06T09:46:00-08:00 This is a great place to grab food and hangout. The food is excellent especially their soups and sandwiches. Also, if you order tea you can get it in a teapot or coffee in a small coffee press pot for an excellent drink experience. … |
| Dont GO 2009-07-15T17:45:15-07:00 3 THINGS HORRIBLE FOOD, WORST SERVICE, BAD MANAGEMENT.. DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO GO... |
| Simple but well executed menu, great food,... 2008-09-15T15:50:21-07:00 Simple but well executed menu, great food, great service... reasonable corkage... |
| Great place to hole up 2008-07-22T03:53:32-07:00 Once you walk in Literati it feels like you are anywhere but on wilshire. There is such a cozy atmosphere, and great bookish feel to the whole place that you can't resist staying for a while. Their sandwiches and tea are definitely where… |
| Next best thing to Urth 2008-06-05T11:28:04-07:00 When I?m not near an Urth, my next choice is Literati. I love how books have been cemented in like bricks on the wall. Their salads and sandwiches are always fresh, and the desserts are so rich and tasty. They also have a good breakfast… |
| Inspired 2008-03-23T16:16:51-07:00 Chris is hands down my favorite chef in Los Angeles. His food is consistently delicious, arranged beautifully, and one is at once aware of the connection between farmer and chef combining for true artistry. If Alice Waters had a son, he… |
| great food, WORST take-out service that has ever existed 2007-07-27T11:29:45-07:00 I love the food and drinks at Literati, and I live close by so I always order take-out from them. EVERY SINGLE TIME I have ordered it, though, they have messed up my order. The first time they gave me the wrong order. The next time… |
| There's Two Sides to Every Story 2007-06-13T10:17:14-07:00 When I read the reviews, I had to check it out. There are two restaurants on the corner. One is the orginal cafe which is a self serve, lower priced, organic restaurant. I went in and was so glad to see the European feeling. Pictures… |
| cozy study spot 2007-04-23T06:50:04-07:00 This cafe is one of my Westwood favorite study spots (when its not too crowded). It has a very quaint environment with portraits of literary figures on the wall- a nice little nook for bookworms. I can't say much for their food, because… |
| Most beautiful patio in LA 2007-04-17T12:41:35-07:00 Every time I return to Literati II, the place gets better and better. I went for lunch the other day and the garden patio has been redone to feel like a totally different world. I felt like I was in Paris with the picket fence, abundant… |
| Indifferant quality,high prices, cafeteria service. 2007-04-13T13:56:42-07:00 Overpriced, unimaginative, and mediocre. Apparently this place is the budget sibling of the upscale Literati 2, adjacent. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes stale bread, salted butter in tiny packets, no stand-alone entrees or specialties,… |
| Best salmon i've ever had 2007-03-12T04:40:05-07:00 On our way to the Wadsworth Theater, we stopped at the Literati 2 for dinner without reservations. We only had to wait 15 minutes and was escorted to the best table in the house. The hostess, servers and even the bus boys treated us… |
| Monday Nights are the Best 2007-03-11T12:49:34-07:00 I agree with "EDYCKERSEN". I have been going to "Monday Night Madness" for the past three Mondays in a row. I know chef Chris Kidder, and the guy knows how to grill a burger. I always have the classic beef and the gruyere cheese with a… |
| The Patio is the Place to be! 2007-03-11T12:43:23-07:00 A new garden getaway has arrived in Brentwood. Literati 2 has been one of my favorites for a power lunch for the past two years. Recently they added an outstanding new awning and lush tropical foliage to the patio to create an entirely… |
| Bland Food and Disorganized and Impersonal Service 2007-03-05T13:55:08-08:00 I went to Literati for lunch with a client one afternoon and ended up disappointed in the bland tasting food, and lack of attention from the staff to basic requests. We both ordered chicken salads. I requested the dressing on the side,… |
| no ketchup needed! 2007-03-05T07:41:09-08:00 i've been to literati 2 many times and always get the salad with chicken for lunch or the cioppino for dinner. i like to eat light and they always have just the right items for my diet requirements. one night last week , i decided to be… |
| New Patio is the best around west la 2007-03-04T00:36:33-08:00 i think i reviewed literati 2 about a year ago and said how great it was, but that their patio seemed a little cold and sparse. well, they heard my calls and built a beautiful awning and filled the patio up with vegetation to make it… |
