-- Marmalade Cafe

6333 W. 3rd St.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
323-954-0088

Antiques, paintings and various light fixtures can be found all over this charming restaurant. And during days of great weather a meal on the patio under crisp white umbrellas is sure to put anybody in a good mood. Not to mention, the food is pretty tasty as well.

The menu appropriately reflects the restaurant’s atmosphere: simple but satisfying. Mostly American-style food, diners have numerous options to choose from including various salads, pizza, chicken and steak.

The staff is adequately friendly and this is a nice alternative to the overcrowded Cheesecake Factory. When the Grove is heavily populated, an overflow of people reside at Marmalade and a substantial wait can develop. But generally reservations are not required.
