    I’m so so sad. I literally just planned a trip to LA with eating at My 2 cents and driving down the coast to Pismo Beach for my girlfriends 40th bday. I can’t believe this but I understand. Thank you Chef Alisa for all you do and you are amazing.

    Our first visit and the Sunday brunch was on the menu. Unfortunately, the recent raids on local businesses has had an impact leading to staff shortages in many Los Angeles area establishments. They made up for it in ambiance and great food once it was on the table. I was sorry to hear that they're closing at the end of July.

    Unfortunately found this gem because reading of its closing. I loved the atmosphere, the music, the people, but the food… Fried Green Tomato’s, yeah! Crispy Goat Cheese Salad, uhuh! Shrimp and Grits, mmm! Oxtail Tacos, get outta town! Strawberry 3X Cake, they should be arrested! I brought home the Pork Chop. Going to have it with eggs this morning. Thank you for a wonderful meal and a great experience. We will return before closing. Rodney Mullinax
