CiCi's Cafe

18912 Ventura Blvd Tarzana, CA 91356 (818) 881-6704

No offense, but the 818 sucks. I only go there because I get paid to. But this place officially subtracted one de-merit from the stinky steaming stew of porn shops and smog that is otherwise known as the valley. The servers here are grunge-chic (but in an attentive-to-personal-hygiene way), and way cooler than the pit crew themed Hollywood skank staff at Swingers - bunch of snooty wanna-be actor/model rejects...CiCi's is to pancakes what the Factory is to Cheesecake. I can't rave over them (yet) because I had the chicken breast spinach salad. This was the first time I didn't get stuck with an entire field of spinach after running out of succulent grilled chicken and tastey sweet walnuts. Busy place. Sit at the counter. Period. No, exclamation point...

Nice Angela! Pictures and everything. You really raised the bar for the rest of us. Next time I'm in the valley and looking for comfort food, I'll check out Cici's (Probably not until winter though... right now the risk of melting is too great.

Eat LA County is a few friends "weighing in" (heh heh) on the best and the worst food in LA - in a city known for the best and the worst food.
