Jane Q
8.3
Set off the lobby of the Kimpton Everly, Jane Q is a bright, plant-filled café turning out market-driven brunch plates, pastries, and well-made coffee. Floor-to-ceiling windows, views toward the Hollywood Hills, and cocktails make it feel more like a hotel living room than a typical hotel restaurant.

Savannah B.E.L.T. breakfast sandwich, Avocado parfait, Duck confit monkey bread

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is available at the Everly Hotel (typically $12–$18). Limited metered street parking on Argyle and nearby side streets; easiest before 10am.
Dress code: Smart casual—elevated but relaxed. Athletic wear is fine for breakfast, but most guests lean polished due to the hotel setting.
Noise level: Moderate—bright room with coffee-bar hum. Easy for conversation at most tables except peak weekend brunch.
Weekend wait: N/A for dinner; brunch peak from 11am–1pm can see 20–30 minute waits.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; plenty of open tables outside peak lunch rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Strong—several veggie-forward plates, pastries, and breakfast items.
Vegan options: Limited—1–2 modifiable dishes; ask for substitutions on bowls and salads.
Gluten-free options: Moderate—GF bread available and several dishes can be adapted, but pastries are mostly not GF.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—its bright, airy design, natural light, and hotel-lounge ambiance feel warm but polished. Great for a low-pressure daytime date with good coffee and cocktails.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes on weekdays. On weekends, arrive before 10:30am to avoid the brunch rush; otherwise expect a short wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat—high ceilings, booths, and pastry options work well for older kids, but the vibe is more adult and laptop-friendly than family-focused.
Best For
Better for: Design-conscious brunch with great light, polished hotel service, and quieter weekdays—ideal for lingering or casual meetings.
Skip if: You want a high-energy, neighborhood-packed brunch or a menu with robust vegan/GF options—other local spots offer more variety.
