Cliff's Edge

This place is a bit hidden—you’re not just going to just walk by and discover it. But Silver Lake locals love it for the lush patio. Lots of LA restaurants have patios, but this one has a fun treehouse vibe, with lots of colorful floral pillows and a canopy of branches overhead. And restless kids are entertained by the little waterfalls and ponds. It’s a great spot for brunch because you can actually make a reservation—and no one wants to wait an hour for a table when they’re with kids. At brunch, they serve delicious ricotta pancakes and waffles covered in fresh berries that my kids love.
