"If the coffee doesn't wake you up, Marty's service sure will! Most of my Yelp! reviews usually focus on word of mouth recommendations or great service. This one features both. But first, seriously, Marty was a huge part of our breakfast experience! Food, atmosphere, and value aside, go to Tallyrand to sit at Marty's table! During a local visit, our shuttle driver highly recommended Tallyrand for breakfast. Now that we have dined there, it's easy to see why it's been voted Best Breakfast in LA (multiple times). And our meal validated the shuttle driver's suggestion. We were staying at a nearby hotel and Tallyrand was within walking distance. When we stepped inside, I knew it was going to be good. This place has been open over 60 years and it had that classic breakfast joint feel. You don't stick around that long without being good at what you do. Speaking of being good, the food is excellent! The pancakes are just as billed. Extra eggs and buttermilk makes a difference. And I don't know what they did to my scrambled eggs, but I wish I could make them this fluffy. Everything on our plates was amazing and cooked exactly how we wanted. Plus, the food came out very quickly. Marty was so kind and had a fun, engaging personality. Even if you go to Tallyrand and don't get Marty, you will not be disappointed!"
