"We stopped in here for breakfast following Easter services at the neighboring church. We entered the restaurant and saw a sign that told us to seat ourselves, so we did. We were acknowledged by our server as we were sitting down, and she brought us some menus to look over while she got our beverages. I decided to have the Huevos Rancheros Wrap which consists of scrambled eggs, with bacon or sausage (I chose bacon in a cheese flavored wrap with salsa picante. It comes with home fries or grits, so I chose grits. The food came out in a decent amount of time. My wrap was piping hot, but the grits could have been a little more hot (no worries, though, because the butter that I added did melt! . The wrap itself was ok. The bacon tasted a bit on the burnt side (which I normally like , but it kind of gave the entire wrap too much of a smoky flavor. The eggs were plentiful, though, and it came with picante that had jalapeno slices in it! I love that! The grits were good and had the perfect consistency...not too runny and not pasty. Overall, this is a good place for breakfast. It 's an older building that started out life as a drugstore, but it 's quite roomy inside. It is not fancy, but it 's got that cozy diner feel to it. The staff are super friendly, and the prices are actually pretty fair! The food is good, and the menu has got a lot of great choices on it. I would visit again when in the area!"

"There were three of us. An LAPD Sr. Lead Officer, a representative from the Los Angeles City Counsel. The Officer has a limited time therefore had only a glass of water. The waitress was the antithesis of the service and demeanor that has always been a hallmark of The Hamlet. She was rude, pushy and unreasonable on EVERY level. The Officer and the City rep asked only for water. I had an Arnold Palmer. The server gave us menus. We explained that after he left we two would order. That didn 't deter her from returning every few minutes to ask about our order. Perhaps it 's relevant to say that when we arrived there was ONE party of two in the entire restaurant. ONE. So it wasn 't like there was a line out the door for lunch. For the better part of a year I 've been having lunch at 1pm EVERY WEEK. And there 's NEVER been a line of guests waiting for seats. NEVER. Moments, I mean less than a minute after the Officer left the waitress returned, asked for our order and told us, make that lectured to us that we couldn 't sit there unless we ordered. Without raising my voice I told her she was rude and pushy. That he had said that once the officer left we 'd order. Then she took a different tack. She said she was just checking back to see if we were ready to order. Ready to order? after the Officer was barely in his patrol car outside your front door. I told her to look around and tell me if property were waiting for tables to be available. Of course there weren 't because it was a typical Wednesday lunchtime at the Hamlet. 40, 50 maybe even 60% but absolutely no more. A few minutes later she returned, we ordered pea soup and cornbread (my all time favorite soup whether at a Hamlet or at the now departed Kate Mantillini 's on Wilshire at Doheny). The City rep and I commented to each other how ridiculous the scenario had been. The bill was paid and we left the table. Perhaps she was having a bad day. We all have a bad day but that 's no excuse. Your thoughts?..."
