Double Take

"Great food and not too busy thank you Eric and Corneilia Brown for the great hospitality"

"Amazing experience / with an INCREDIBLE host and solid service - tucked away beautifully inside of the Kimpton Palomar in Beverly Hills. Incredible Host (Long curly hair - whose name escapes me at the moment)."

"Great place in Westwood, CA loved the breakfast and dinners. Excellent servers. Lots of room.. modern wish 2 large 65+ screen tv.."

"Stayed at the hotel for a week. Ate here twice. Dinner for two: ordered chicken wings, fries, and salmon dinner. Salmon dinner was very oily. Breakfast roasted potatoes were also oily. Hot chocolate station well stocked. Muffins are available. The staff operate more like family do it was nice having my wine and talking with them. Check hours"

"Double Take is a restaurant in the Kimpton Palomar hotel. We’re fans of the Kimpton brand having stayed at a number of their hotels all over the U.S. They’re a great boutique hotel chain with benefits you get used to, such as the complimentary wine hour at 5pm. We were here for brunch, far too early to take advantage of the free wine hour, but to be fair we didn’t realize when we picked the restaurant that it was located in a Kimpton…so walking in to the lobby was a pleasant and familiar surprise. I had the egg sandwich choosing biscuit for the bread, with white cheddar cheese and no the sausage. It came with hash browns and a salad. The biscuit was perfectly crunchy on the outside and fine on the inside but seemed like it may have been reheated. (Am I the only one who has a sixth sense for when biscuits have been reheated?) It tasted good but the cheese needed more of a presence. The hash browns looked great. You’ll definitely salivate looking at them…They were tasty on the inside though, perhaps, a little more greasy than I wanted. There also wasn’t salt and pepper at the table which I definitely needed for these.. My wife had the Grain Bowl which we had to send back as it came topped with parmesan cheese…my wife doesn’t eat dairy and the menu didn’t list parmesan as an ingredient. I’m a big fan of menus that list all the visible ingredients of a dish…so unfortunately we had to send it back to get them to redo it without it. The dish looked beautiful either way, the mushrooms were delicious, but in the end it was very barley heavy…the other ingredients needed more of a presence to add more flavor to this dish. It definitely wasn’t busy when we were there so i guess brunch, at least on a Saturday around noon isn’t so much of a thing…but they did only have one person working there handling the coffee counter and waiting tables so service, in particular when we had to alert them about the Grain Bowl was a bit slow. On the plus side there’s all kinds of fun games to play in adjacent rooms, including a full sized pool table and skeeball, that are all free to use, so you’re bound to have a good time when you’re there."
