Best Brunch Restaurant
2012 Finalist
Milo and Olive
2723 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA 90403

No actual brunch service is designated at Milo & Olive, but the essentials are all there at Zoe Nathan and Josh Loeb's pizzeria. It is sensible decision for a space that is as cozy as your living room, but operates like one big communal dining room. Deep in the heart of Santa Monica, this is a Westside alternative to BLD and Bar Ama for a mid-week brunch get-together. Whereas mimosas are the norm among brunch cocktails elsewhere, the grapefruit sparkler composed of Prosecco and red wine hits notes often missing in its popular counterpart. It pulls enough weight to pair with the wild mushroom grits or the baked eggs farm eggs over a stew of kale, potatoes and white beans. You won't miss waffles or pancakes at the sight of the glass-partitioned display of freshly baked pastries that might include a berry jam-topped scone one day and a caramel coated bran muffin the next. —Christine Chiao
