Sqirl

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Squirl in Los Angeles, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This place truly deserves all five stars! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and vibrant. The staff greeted us warmly and were incredibly attentive throughout our meal. Their knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm for the dishes made us feel welcome and excited to try everything. The food at Squirl is nothing short of spectacular. Every dish we ordered was bursting with fresh, innovative flavors that delighted our taste buds. The seasonal ingredients and unique combinations showcased the chef's creativity and dedication to quality. The ricotta toast with seasonal jam is a must-try; it's the perfect balance of creamy and tangy. The sorrel pesto rice bowl was another standout, with its harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left us craving more. The presentation of each dish was also impeccable. You can tell that a lot of thought and care goes into not only how the food tastes but also how it looks. It’s clear that the team at Squirl is passionate about delivering a memorable dining experience. In addition to the incredible food, the ambiance of Squirl adds to its charm. The cozy, laid-back vibe makes it a perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or a special date. The decor is simple yet stylish, creating a comfortable environment where you can truly enjoy your meal. Overall, Squirl exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, exceptional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere makes it a standout restaurant in Los Angeles. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delightful menu. Highly recommended!"

"All I can say is wow. Easily in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Los Angeles now. The attention to detail in the menu is phenomenal, every flavor is on point, and every dish was balanced. Now i want to try every dish on the menu! We (2 people) had blueberry morning bun, essie's latke tot, brioche toast with cherry jam, and the brûlé french toast. Some highlights: - the morning bun had the best blueberry flavor I've ever had in a pastry - the beet cured lox was insane. 11/10 - the jam was perfect as expected. next time I would get the ricotta toast but we already ordered a lot! - the french toast was like no other, another 11/10 Zero notes on the food. We came on a Sunday at around 10:30 and had no line to order. Food came as you would expect, around 15-20 minutes. The only downside to this location is the small seating area, the outside tables are nice but the cars on the street could be loud at times. Can't wait to come back!"

"6/10 Nice brunch spot in Silverlake. I think my main issue with Sqirl is that their dishes are beautifully presented, but the looks bear stronger than the taste. I found the dishes were hit or miss. While we LOVED the seasonal frittata and the latka, the pesto bowl and ricotta toast were lacking. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty place to grab lunch with friends, you can tell a lot of effort was put into the interior. Just not sure if it reaches my top brunch spots in LA. I could foresee myself coming back to try the pastries or cake (which looked delicious), but for the full sit down brunch thing, it might be awhile before I come back."

"Wow wow wow. I am so glad I decided to stop in. I ordered the latkes... mannnn. So crunchy, perfectly salted with creme fraiche, and some of the freshest salmon that tasted like it was flown in from Japan. Then of course I needed something sweet so I opted for a giant pancake with an amazing compote to match. It was so large I ended up sharing it with someone nearby because it was their birthday. Ordered a cortado to match and didn't expect it to be the beat coffee I had in LA (single origin + homemade almond milk) YUM."

"Food and staff are great! However, an unexpected 2 hour wait on a random Sunday for food is a complete waste of personal time and a whole day. Being a restaurant that has been around for some time now, they need to figure out a more efficient way for their customer's to wait and order and then have the food served. I totally understand and expect to wait for weekend brunch, but having to wait 50 minutes for 2 breakfast plates after waiting 1 hour to order is quite ridiculous. It's a shame that the lack of operations overshadowed the tasty food and the hardworking staff in my overall experience."
