I have to admit, as much as my comrades here at LAist have been, I have yet to visit. The last time I tried, was on a weekend... bad idea. A line 15 people deep on the sidewalk does not fare well with a hungry stomach. So off to Dusty's on Sunset Blvd. it was. I'll see Square One on a weekday, I suppose, to try their veggie and vegan friendly breakfast treats.

in all fairness, the original LAist review posted by Lindsay not all that long after Square One opened did note some problems -- but, like all of us, restaurants have good days and bad days. It's just that their bad days can lead to unhappy ex-customers heading to IHOP instead of to a local-owned, independent establishment.

i dont get it! Are the Scientologists putting some kind of brainwashing drug in the food here ?I have been here twice second time after reading the review here last week and the first time about a year ago.I have to say IT SUCKED THEN AND STILL SUCKS! the scrambled eggs were running off my plate and the bacon was like A 1 inch thick piece of leather wrapped in fat. I just don't get it. If you really want a tasty breakfast i would go to Grub or the Griddle or even ihop over this place.

Funny, biffles -- reminds me of how Maxim just got busted for faking a review of the upcoming Black Crowes record. One of the greatest things about Square One, in my opinion, is the genuine friendliness of the staff. And yeah, the food is consistently awesome, breakfast or lunch. I wonder if anyone's been hassled to take stress tests, etc given the proximity to the Church...

Details, details -- you'd think they'd notice little things, like the walls are yolk yellow, not apricot. (and if they've been painted since Details was there, don't they have the big budget to send a fact checker?). Of course, this is carping. Square One is fab!
