This is our place to brunch prior to museum or theater visits. Its a quick walk to the Disney Hall, Music Center Theaters, and the MOMA and Broad. There is live jazz on Sundays, a huge buffet brunch or a menu option. We opted for the menu, having avocado toast and an impossible burger. The service has ALWAYS been stellar. The back area dining room is bright and has the BEST waitstaff. The avocado toast comes with fresh watermelon radish, cherry tomatoes, lots of avocado, and poached eggs (if you like). There is also a splash of lemon oil, which makes this dish so tasty. The impossible burger is cooked perfectly and is served with delicious fries. As I mentioned, this is our go to place prior to theater or a museum visit.

I used to love Grand Café's brunch. I've celebrated many birthdays and special events there, and I was thrilled when Sunday brunch returned after COVID. But after this past Sunday’s experience, I won’t be returning. The selection is just okay, but there’s no waffle station, which in my opinion, is a brunch staple. There wasn’t an omelette station either. For the price of $75, it’s totally not worth it. The brunch is advertised as $68, but they charge you more when you get there. For that price, I can go to other places in the city with a better selection and unlimited mimosas. The waiters were amazing, and the jazz band was a nice addition, but even that isn't worth $75 – especially when the place was empty. This place is not what it used to be. Sorry, Grand Café, I won’t be returning.

Simple grilled cheese delivered 20 minutes before accompanying tomato soup, so the meal was unbalanced and pointless. Sandwich cold and unappetizing by the time the soup came.

Stayed at the Omni for almost a week and experienced eating at their restaurant for breakfast several times. The times we experienced the food was wonderful as well as service. Never had any wait and was served immediately.

My boyfriend and I come here for mostly every important event (birthdays, anniversary, etc). We absolutely love it. Although the selection isn’t as big as other buffets, the quality is there and mostly importantly, the service is amazing. I always ask for Jose or Amytes and as usual, they are AMAZING. They made my boyfriend’s birthday special and we are glad we got to spend it at the Grand Cafe!

i made a lunch reservation at the Grand Cafe after attending a luncheon event at the Omni Hotel and truly enjoying the food, which was unexpected at what is usually a rubber chicken, tepid affair. Alas! My lunch was quite ordinary, and the flashes of creativity (such as crispy seasoned eggplant subbing for bacon in a vegan "ELT") were offset by what seemed like grocery store bread. And the room was a little dark and quite empty; the hotel guests clearly find more exciting places to lunch. Fortunately, my lunch companion was delightful, and the service was cheerful. I am not, however, inspired to return soon.

Mother’s Day Unlimited Brunch was perfect! Complimentary Rose for mothers. 3 mimosas each, 3 different flavors. Waiters coming often to check on you. Food coming out fresh. Fresh hand made ice cream rolls ^(line gets long but moves quickly)^ 85$ a person. FYI I’m just a regular guy from Long Beach. I would take the drive again!
