    Out five person reservation was at a mismatched table, oddly shaped and not inviting. Overall I would view booking Ben Paris as a mistake. The $25 burger was not prepared well and the service was awkward.

    Some of the best brunch food I’ve ever had. The drinks are a bit pricey but everything we had was so delicious! We enjoyed the avocado toast, breakfast sammies, truffle fries, pho Bloody Mary, and chai latte!

    We got the backed eggs the chicken sandwich and. Ben breakfast. The highlight of the meal was the sausage. So good. The service was good but we definitely had to ask for things over and over and over I think they may have been short staffed but they were very kind. Food is good and cool LA vibes.

    The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. It is a bit small with not much space to wait so I definitely encourage a reservation.

    Portions seem to be inconsistent (my guest’s strip steak was much smaller than the one at the table next to us) and changes to recipes such as the octopus appetizer were not successful.
