    Staff this Sunday was lovely. Our waitress & the hostess were way more pleasant than others I’ve encountered at the Waterfront before. I chose the buffet because it used to be really versatile but understand they’ve scaled back after the fires and not getting as much traffic on the boardwalk at this time. I think the $40 AYCE could go down some of the omelette station & prime rib is no longer there

    Weird they had the front area closed I got the spicy cucumber which was spicy. It was really basic. And I asked for the garlic crunch and they’re like oh it’s gonna be two dollars more they didn’t charge me, but I was like I’m sorry, but it’s not spicy cucumber. You can’t charge me more if you didn’t provide spicy cucumber. Other than that, it’s always been consistent. I love coming here. Staff is wonderful and all, but I just thought it was strange that how do you serve spicy cucumber and it’s not spicy cucumber

    Dined here many times on what I think is the best fish & chips in LA, but finally experienced the afternoon tea this week. We had a lovely time in the cozy back room with all the English royalty heads on the wall. I appreciate that the vibe is much more “British” versus so many tea houses that have an extremely flowery, feminine decor. The value of the tea service can’t be beat and the menu was spot on. Had a great loose leaf Earl Grey served, and the service was attentive but not intrusive. If I hadn’t needed to go back to work, I would’ve stayed for a few pints on the pub side. Our tea service confirmed that the Kings Head will continue to be a favorite for me & my family.
