Read More On Citysearch runcty 5/18/2010 - A Great Sun Champagne Brunch FindMy husband and I "refound" The Eclectic a couple yrs ago and are pretty much hooked. The food is always tasty ,they really know how to poach an egg perfectly , and I would know this as we usually are there for Sun. champagne brunch. The staff is knowledgable, highly competent, friendly and attentive. We know most of them personally now and are treated like family. I also quite often have lunch...
Read More On Citysearch jbaer 11/2/2009 - Everthing on the menu!!Whenever I get the chance to travel to NoHo (live in SF Bay Area), there's always one place I always go to, that's this place!! Can't beat the location. Most of the time I go for the "white wine" palatable dishes (out of habit, usually there during the day), which are great (haven't had any bad dishes all the times I went), and priced reasonably, but I do have a nice steak dinner with the great r...

This was a grown up science project involving art, architecture and music to create the setting for simple to complex meals and wines. The presentation felt calculated, like the proprietor?s experience was the patron?s value. The menu could entice the most finicky and please a crowd because it reads like a ?favorites? list. The wine list is not sno...
Read More On Citysearch Frauditor 10/8/2009 - Excellent place for Brunch!My friend was in town for the weekend so we wanted a nice cozy spot for brunch. We ended up coming to Eclectic and had the chilaquiles for breakfast. It made our day.
Excellent food, and awesome service.
Also their pricing is very reasonable. I will definitely be back to this restaurant.

Ceasar salad w/ cajun scallops, another favorite. Many great dinner selections, chicken madera, lobster ravioli & a great wine selection too.
The new chef has many new specials

Read More On Citysearch CSMobileUser3 3/5/2009 - A GEMI have been dining at the Eclectic for some time now and I think my favorite thing is the consistency. So many restaurants are changing their menus to help with the decline of sales, changing from fresh to frozen, but the Eclectic stands by their organic and fresh foods. I have some old standbys which always fill me up and make me happy, first is the Rosemary Chicken Pasta, I love the artichokes...
Read More On Citysearch sojourner 2/9/2009 - Fine Dining in North HollywoodAfter nearly two decades in North Hollywood, the Eclectic Wine Bar and Grill, right in the middle of the Noho theater district, is still going strong. Every dish is mind blowing, as well as above average. Incredible soups, salads, seafood, poultry, pasta (Lobster Ravioli my favorite), and high quality meats, including New Zealand Lamb. Be sure to order the Chocolate Soufle with a Molten Chocola...

I live down the street from this place. I drove by it a few times and thought it looked interesting from the outside: "Eclectic Cafe" - looks sort of, well, eclectic. I went the first time and had an okay meal. I thought it was bland. I went back, well over a year later. I thought I'd give it another chance. The second time I ordered the pasta arrabiata and added chicken to it. It was, well...
Read More On Citysearch laoptimist 9/19/2008 - Love it!A cool, hip place to meet friends for dinner or drinks. The waiters/waitresses are attentive and the food is great. They have a wonderful selection of salads and pasta dishes. I would definitely recommend this place to all of my friends!

Read More On Citysearch gatorbobinc 6/12/2008 - Eclectic CafeI absolutely love this place. I actually went on my birthday. What I love about it the most is the relaxed environment. The food is great. It ranges from about $10-$15 dollars per plate. I love the black leather seats and the abiance is just classic.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/29/2008 - To Die From!
Usually one engages in a dining experience to explore the sensation of taste. Upon entering the Eclectic Wine Bar & Grille, the neon blue and yellow sign behind the front door and the framed National Geographic photos of waterfalls masquerading as works of art on the wall behind us should have been clue enough that there wouldn't be much taste involved. However, against our better judgement, we...
Read More On Citysearch chlojoe 4/6/2008 - Our new "FAVORITE SPOT" in the NoHo Arts DistrictMy friends and I were going to a show at the El Portal Theater and wanted a place to dine before the show.
We decided on Eclectic because we could walk to the theater after dinner. We ended up having the BEST time. It is sort of an artsy, jazzy wine bar with a GREAT VIBE!. The place seemed very "New York-y" Our server was really nice. The food was really good. I had the Calamari -which was...
Read More On Citysearch IntheCityofAngels 3/28/2008 - Great Atmosphere to match the Food!MY ROUTINE ON A FRIDAY EVENING AFTER WORK IS TO HAVE A WORKOUT AND WALK ON INTO THE ECLECTIC AND RELAX WITH A GLASS OF WINE AND DELICIOUS FOOD. ALTHOUGH WE GO IN DRESSED IN OUR WORKOUT ATTIRE, WE ARE TREATED LIKE WE ARE DRESSED TO THE HILT! WE ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED AND GREETED WITH WARMTH AND ATTENTIVENESS. WHATEVER YOU CHOSE TO DINE ON HERE, YOUR TASTES BUDS WILL DANCE AND YOUR SPIRIT BE AT PEA...
Read More On Citysearch VictoriaBee 3/17/2008 - Great staff, but to call this a wine bar is a travestyListen, the people who run this place and the staff are really awesome, and they treat you well, but seriously, their WINE LIST is comparable to that of say, an Olive Garden. They have all the standard crappy red and white wines by the major labels that sell crappy red and white wines. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of ANY QUALITY or QUANTITY in the wine list. Just to let you know, a wine bar is ...
Read More On Citysearch generic230 3/17/2008 - Love It!The Eclectic Cafe is my absolute favorite. The food has always been amazing, the atmosphere is relaxing and not pretentious, and the staff is friendly.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/12/2008 - American FoodWe have gone to this place a few times. I have had the Jambalaya. It was really good. My girl had the salad and a few other items during different visits. We were really pleased. The service was great but the prices a little pricey.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 3/9/2008 - DiningThe food here is incredible. The service was excellent and the prices are very reasonable. I would have gave it my highest rating but parking is difficult in the area.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/20/2008 - Doesn't get any better than this, full monty of dining!I went here with a few friends just expecting a regular meal and ended up being pleasantly surprised.
Breadsticks served when you arrive, outrageously good!
Wait staff, perfectly friendly and helpful
Drink Selection, great
Food, truly fresh, truly good, well prepared.
It's one of those times where its so great you can't even describe it in a review.
Eat here
Read More On Citysearch vanston2 1/7/2008 - LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!I've tried many other restaurants in the area and not one quite compares to the Eclectic. The food is absolutely fantastic and the vast menu has something for everyone, even the most finicky eaters. Every dish is prepared with great care and consistency. I've tried many things on the menu expecting to find a dish that was not so great but that hasn't happened yet. The bolognese sauce is one of th...
Read More On Citysearch katcc 8/12/2007 - Can't get enough! Ambience, Service, and Food is the BEST in town!This place is, hands down, the best in town. Everything was top notch, from the atmosphere, to the service, to the food. When I want to eat out, I usually go to one of a few restaurants that I like, but I am so glad that my friend introduced me to Eclectic! When I walked through the door, I was impressed with the artistic decor, original artwork, and rave reviews on the walls. The staff was very ...

Read More On Citysearch njrfilms 7/30/2007 - Grow up Eclectic.
Eclectic seems to want to be fine dining, but can't shed some old habits that make it kind of tacky. When you walk in, there's a diner-style "Please wait to be seated" sign. Put a hostess stand in. People know how to eat out and they'll stop there, even if you have no one at the stand. The menu is diverse, but it seems like a product of indecision rather than culling together different cuisin...
Read More On Citysearch mpedante 5/11/2007 - Great Variety of Foods!!!I brought a few people from my family and a couple friends in for dinner and I am always afraid to go out with this group of people because they are such picky eaters. At our table we had two vegetarians and two very "Fat Free" conscious people. Everyone was able to order with ease and was very pleased with how great the food tasted and how helpful the servers were to make sure they got just wh...
Read More On Citysearch maliyahe 5/9/2007 - Simply FabulousI haven't been this pleased with a restaurant in quite a while! The atmosphere was my favorite... I almost didn't notice how boring my date was because I was so captivated by all the artwork on the walls. Usually going to restaurants is more of a hassle than fun because I'm such a picky eater. This place actually had more than a few things on the menu I would gladly try out!!! The service was ...
Read More On Citysearch natknows123 5/9/2007 - Pleasing to all of the SensesWhat a great way to complete an evening in the emerging NOHO art district! The service was friendly and accommodating. The food was beautifully plated and colors and textures blended to create attractive offerings. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and server was knowledgable in wine pairings to best compliment our food selections. Feel free to wander the restaurant as it showcases...
Read More On Citysearch lucky1327 5/9/2007 - Great steak and wine!We are so happy to find this place in the neighborhood! We tried the wine flights and there were different and delicious. It would be nice if they added some more wine choices to their offering, but at least what they had was good.
He had the filet and said it was one of the best that he has ever had, incredibly tender and cooked to perfection!
The steak salad is delicous...the tuna...and I am ...
Read More On Citysearch jjzdesign 4/29/2007 - Awesome Atmosphere, Fantastic FoodAll I have to say is the stuffed mushrooms are mouth-watering delicious!! Eclectic has such a different appeal to it than most places. When you walk in you don't feel like your just walking into a restaurant. The design and deco of the place keeps you continuously looking around. They have fabulous artwork and photography covering the walls and with the polished service and great food, dining...
Read More On Citysearch dlhopkins 4/21/2007 - Best Appetizers, I have ever had. Battered Calamari, Dim SumStepping from one section of the Valley to the next. This restaurant was a straight top ten. Five minutes from Universal. My dinner of Chicken pasta and a margarita pizza, was only surpassed by the Waiter's and Owner's knowledge and expertise. Killer heart-shaped ice cream desserts, I will try the rest on the next visit. I have lived in LA for over 20 years and this is one of the top three restau...
Read More On Citysearch 9044 2/28/2007 - my favorite neighborhood restaurant!My husband and I frequent this restaurant at least once a month. We love the owner, love the food (especially the Chicken Madera and the Warm Steak Salad) and love the waiters. The environment is artistic and comfortable at the same time. It is very open and pleasant. By the way, I hear the pizzas are very good, I've just never had one. Would love to see them get some more wines. But I will keep ...
Read More On Citysearch madmusette 1/30/2007 - Our "go-to" local place for good comfort food & vibeMy wife and I have been going here for well over 10 years. After a few visits it's easy to feel like you're part of Brian's family! Great pizza and pasta and salads too (Salmon or Steak Nicoise!) - but whenever I need to feel homey I order the rosemary chicken or the chicken madeira and a glass of wine, then I'm there! Meat and fish are good too but I rarely order them here. Guess I save that for...
Read More On Citysearch drala 1/24/2007 - Yummy Steak & Chicken and Artful AtmosphereI'm a salad fanatic and can tell a restaurant's dedication to their patrons by the quailty of the salad they serve. The warm steak salad is by far my favorite. It's just the right size and the flavors make you feel like you've eaten an entree without the guilt. Since I'm simple, I enjoyed the roasted chicken and mashed potatoes, simple yet flavorful...just how food should be.The ambiance is great...

They have the best pizza I've ever tasted especially the Four Caesars Pizza.The salads are fantastic and the steak is to die for! If you like tiramisu, you won't find any better. They have a great wine selection and the staff is very attentive and friendly. I've had romantic dinners for 2 and fun birthday parties for 30 and they have always been very a...

We look forward to the very friendly service and we all have our favorite foods.. I love the seared ahi tuna, and the yummy cholcolate soufle topped with whipped cream.. Sometimes we even go there after the movies, just for pizza or dessert...It lives up to its name of Eclectic as there is such ...

Read More On Citysearch desne 12/21/2006 - Not worth your time...Went here with friends, and was really disappointed with the food. My girlfriend and I ordered different dishes, and both were terrible. I have never eaten food so bland. It was a similar experience to drinking Heineken Light or water, there was no taste.
With all of the incredible restaurants in this part of LA, don't waste your time here.
Read More On Citysearch scinla 10/30/2006 - Wine Bar?????I finally decided to check this place out since I live around the corner and love wine. But if you are going for the wine, don't bother. The wine list is very short and unimpressive, and I couldn't figure out why they are calling themselves a 'wine bar.' They don't even have nice glasses for tasting. The food and service were ok, but without a full-bar and a poor wine list, this won't become my n...
Read More On Citysearch alsmith09 7/31/2006 - So-So neighborhood RestaurantI usually dine here @ lunch time. The food is ok but I have to agree with the above poster who said that the wait staff does nothing. THye are not friendly and act like they are doing you a favor. The only thing that is exceptional is the scallop salad. The spicy Chicken soup is also good. The rissotto is so so @ best as is most of their pasta. the place is pretty and looks extremely clean.
Read More On Citysearch justla 3/25/2006 - Unique Serving StyleFood was good but service was lacking from entrance into restaurant until we left. No hostess - up to wait staff to sit you. Wait staff only took orders and delivered check, busing staff did all the work. While busing staff worked, wait staff stood around together and chatted. Impression that wait staff was doing customers a favor by waiting on customers. Too many other restaurants of this q...
Read More On Citysearch 4morning 2/19/2006 - Glad I live close to it!!!The food is always good and not too expensive. The service and decor are a nice touch too! Wish they had full bar I'd hang out there more often....wine & beer only!
Read More On Citysearch andrewinla 3/27/2003 - exotic and excitingOffering foods such as seared ahi tuna with wasabi dipping sauce, this place is great on the tastebuds and also pleasing to the eye. The restaurant shows work from local artists and everything you see that hangs on the wall is available for sale. The waiters are also nice, which is always a bonus.
