BLTA Benedict & The Frenchie didn't disappoint. The staff was quick to help but didn't rush while we enjoyed a long brunch.

This place never disappoints. The food is always fresh and delicious. The menu is endless. Prices are good and not over inflated. The service has always been attentive. I always enjoy a good meal here.

The food is on point, large portions, and tasty. I'm not big on pancakes but the ones at Elme's are outstanding and large. I had the veggie scramble, turkey sausage, potatoes, sourdough bread, and a cup of coffee. I nibbled on 's peanut butter pancakes and to my surprise it was delicious. The flavor of the pancake was so good I returned the next day and ordered a single pancake and coffee. The manager Sal and the servers were all friendly and welcoming. Though it was busy, the food came out fast and hot. It's a layback atmosphere, an open area with seating inside and outside. I almost want to gate-keep this place, especially since I was invited and didn't find it on my own. (I forgot to take pictures , guess you'll have to check it out yourself.)

I enjoyed the coziness and home feeling to this restaurant. They had a great selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It seemed to be Italian based/inspired (or I believe the owners are Italian?) which means the actual food options seem very tasty. It was a little difficult to choose but ended up splitting pasta and a burrito with my friend I love Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli and although this was pretty tasty, it definitely had a unique after taste to it. I couldn't pin point exactly what it was but it didn't take like a typical spinach and ricotta ravioli dish that's I've had at other places. It wouldn't be a dish I would run back to, but, I am happy that I tried it and ultimately I still finished the entire plate! I liked the burrito as well! I LOVE cheese so next time I believe I would just ask for extra cheese! As far as parking, it's in a lot with other business' so there are an average amount of spots and I can see it be a struggle to find a space if it is peak hours on a weekend. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the valley!

Funnel cake french toast is the best thing ever and the potatoes are perfectly seasoned

An excellent brunch spot. The hollandaise on their benedicts are superb and their potatoes are phenomenal. If you want something lighter, the Roman breakfast was a unique choice. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the flavors from everything were fantastic. The decoration is simple and clean. The service was good considering how busy they were. My family and I will definitely be coming back often.

I'm surprised I haven't written this review earlier as my family and I come to Elme's Restaurant a few times a year for a brunch treat. We've always had a great experience. The service here is fast! If you see a crowd waiting to be seated, don't let it deter you. Often times we are able to sit down, decide what we want, order, eat, pay, and leave within an hour's time. So they go through the crowd quickly. And all this is not to the detriment to the service. The servers are friendly, helpful, and patient. They also never make it feel like they're pushing you out the door, but instead just clearing plates off your table as you finish them as a courtesy to you. We've had a wide range of items the menu offers from omelettes, to pancakes, waffles, burritos, and oatmeal. All of them are great. None of them are life changing, but that's totally fine. They're delicious, fresh tasting, and come in excellent portions. I often leave the restaurant with breakfast for the next day. (Who am I kidding. An afternoon snack more like it). While we haven't tried everything, at this point I doubt there is a bad thing on the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very inviting. Lots of floor to ceiling windows brings in plenty of natural light and also opens the place up so that even though tables are close to each other, you never feel crammed in there. It's also never very loud so you will still be able to carry conversations with your party at a normal level. In all, Emle's is our go to brunch place in Northridge. Two thumbs up for sure.

We arrived at 11 AM on Saturday & and didn't have to wait for a table. Service was quick, and multiple servers/managers checked up on us regularly. The TVS had the Olympics on & light music played in the background, which was great. Mimosas were mixed well, not all OJ, which was lovely. Corned beef hash was fabulous in the benedict, and the addition of the house salsas really added to the flavor levels. Benedict Hemingway had large pieces of crab meat & salmon and a creamy flavor. We did wish there were a few more capers added, though, as there was maybe 4-5 on the whole plate. Delicious food & good service overall!

We have ordered Denver omelets and emles special breakfast and both were delicious. I changed my side to be bacon instead of fruit/pancakes and etc as i was on keto. The food was delicious it needed some salt but i managed it with bacons lol. The bacon however smelled a bit like an old oil or fat not sure if that was the bacon or the grill. The staff were also super nice and the place has numerous seats and a parking lot in the plaza.
