    We came here for Mother’s Day brunch and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The rooftop setting is stunning—great views of LA and a chill, upscale vibe. I had the avocado toast with eggs, and my wife had the chilaquiles—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and the presentation was beautiful. We also enjoyed a couple of mimosas, which hit the spot perfectly. One of the unexpected highlights was the playlist—mostly vibey house music that matched the rooftop atmosphere perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. This place made our celebration feel special, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for brunch with a view!

    We enjoyed our time here at Casa. Meals were delicious. Service was good. Our Server Richard was available to answer our questions and checked on us multiple times throughout our brunch. We went on a Sunday but didn’t realize there was a farmers market event on the street, was a bit hard to find parking nearby due to this event, when I called the restaurant the person on the phone was very polite, and helpful to us. Will definitely return for the Paella seafood again.
