"Why am I just now discovering this place? this food is ridiculously good. When you pay upwards of $25 for an omelette and I know Los Angeles is expensive but it's usually never worth it at least for a breakfast dish, but this place is the exception. I created my own omelette and with ingredients that are strange to some, lol, but I created an omelette with their roasted chicken, jalapeños, feta, and fresh cilantro, and the way they do their chicken is the way EVERY restaurant should do their chicken, at least in an omelette, it's fresh shaved chicken, so it works so well in an omelette. the ingredients are as fresh as can be, and had blueberry peach pastry of some kind, and it was just fresh summer flavors and really delicious what a refreshing restaurant !!!"

"The food is AMAZING. This is my 2nd time ordering in a row. I first had the grits eggs and bacon with their homemade sausage. It was phenomenal. Today I had the roast beef and it was well seasoned and tender. Very delicious. My only complaint is the onions weren't cooked long enough. This place might as well take all my money because I'm a customer for life!"
"We've gone to Marmalade for many years and ordered via DoorDash quite a bit since the pandemic. It's changed so much. The decor (Sherman Oaks) went from warm french country cozy to white and drab inside and out. Our main complaint is the Chicken Piccata which we ordered 4 dinners a few weeks ago and it was almost inedible. So tart from too much lemon and the chicken was dry, the pasta portion was half what it used to be. The included salad was also so vinegary and sharp, no one ate it . I never write reviews like this and it makes me sad because it used to be one of our favorite places but the last 3 or 4 times we've either gone there or ordered out, service was poor and food was not up to its old standard. Come back Marmalde. "

"I am absolutely addicted to their steak and Steak and Eggs with Roasted Potatoes. I have ordered this more than half a dozen times and each time the steak is tender, eggs are fluffy, and the potatoes are perfectly seasoned! I've had this for breakfast lunch and dinner! Generous portions too. Definitely one of my top go to comfort orders."
"I ordered the ribeye steak plate, which gave me the option of choosing either rice or mashed potatoes as my second side, with asparagus listed as the included side. Unfortunately, my order arrived without the asparagus, rice or mashed potatoes. The steak itself was well seasoned and cooked to the requested temperature, but it looked nothing like the menu photo. The picture showed a substantial bone-in ribeye, while what I received was a very thin steak that resembled a breakfast steak rather than a ribeye. The missing side dishes was especially disappointing and made the meal feel incomplete. To make matters worse, I tried calling the restaurant to resolve the issue, but no one answered the phone. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. While the steak was cooked properly, it did not match what was advertised, the order was incomplete, and the restaurant was unavailable to respond. I would not order from this restaurant again."
