Found this place through social media and was excited to try. We made a reservation and it gets busy, so it's recommended. Also, parking is limited in the area. We ordered a variety of dishes but it was all just OK for us. It looked good, but didn't taste as well as it looked. I think we came to late in the day, and probably would have liked the food better if it were more fresh.

Very good food. Reasonable priced. But, I'm giving them a 3 because they add an automatic 12% service charge that doesn't go to the server. So basically $20, extra for a party of 3 and I still had to tip the waiter and pay another $16 in taxes. I need to know what my service fee went to and why was I charged a service fee?! I don't think I'll go back, for this reason alone. If not, for this fee I would've given them a 5.

10% service charge that don't go to the waitress sounds illegal. Food was presented well but still not like the TicTok videos taste ok but thats preference no vibe waitresses look and act like they just hired them off the street. Would not go again. Place was nothing like the TicTok videos. These people must get paid to make these videos.

The food was good,but everything else was horrible from beginning to end. The customer service was non existent ( The hosted cleaned the table and came back and pointed where to sit) Our waiter started off okay, it took him a few minutes to greet us,but after that it was downhill. We ordered breakfast food( eggs,bacon, potatoes and a side of waffles) we arrived at 12:47 and didn't get our food until 2:04 the waiter came back once to get our order! I finally asked him about our food ,he returns with our food,but I'm missing my waffle. It was a lot of issues for such a simple dine in experience. Customer service needs improvement, especially charging a extra 12%. Nothing about this place makes me want to return. The food was good,but it's Los Angeles you can definitely find better. I like balance in life and this place lacks it.I'm hoping they get it together because it had so much potential in the beginning ( This was my 3rd and last visit)Parking: Parking isn't impossible to find,but we went on a weekday and we still had to drive around to find parking,but it's LA so keep that in mind.

Extremely rude staff, it seems like they are there socializing rather than getting their job done.

To start, the wait time for 2 was 45 minutes, no problem. We waited over an hour and when we'd gotten to the front, they canceled our reservation. Eventually, we got seated next but the service wasn't even terrible, it was nonexistent lol. The waitress pointed to the table we sat at and didn't even walk us to the table. Next, our flight of mimosas spilled all over myself and my friend as the server tried to sit them at our table. FYI, you'd be better off getting plain champagne, there wasn't anything special about them honestly. Moving forward, my friend ordered sweet potato waffles...why was this plain waffles with caramel glaze and a slab of sweet potatoes on top?! I wish I was kidding. To end, we received our check and realized we didn't even receive a comp for the drinks and broken glass that was spilled on us. When asked about a discount, the server replied "we don't do that." And judging from the conversation I heard with 2 employees, the servers need more training because this was the second flight of mimosas spilled on a table today alone. We also noticed we were charged $5 for a slab of sweet potatoes thrown on top of the waffles but was labeled as "sweet potato waffles." All in all, we won't be back. The food was mid, ambiance was ehh, and service sucked.

I just walked-in on a Friday Evening around 5:45pm. The Female Greeter/Hostess at the Front-Door was sitting down and wìth a whole attitude, she said to me: "We're closed." (InMyHead: Okay, sooo why didn't they lock their Front Door...)N-E Way, I looked around & there were ha few people sitting at tables.. Also Their Website States That They Close at 11pm on Fridays.IDK what there issues are at The Court Cafe, but They Will Not Be Getting Any of My Money. If they continue to hire rude people, they will Not Be In Business For Too Much Longer.

OMG I discovered this place on IG. I’m all about supporting all the Balck owned Inglewood eateries . And this did not disappoint. Pricey and an up charge for dining in but every bite of everything was so freaking good. Treat yourself, you will be so glad you did.

Only 2 complaints - 1 restroom to be shared with both men & women - long line the entire time & our table was next to the restroom. Other complaint is we noticed there was a 10% service fee added to our receipt which was fine as we "thought" that was the tip, then walking to the car it says its just a service fee & does not go to the waitress so I had to grab cash to run in & give a tip, never was told that there would be a 10% service fee added to our bill that doesn't include the tip - disappointed on that.On the bright side, Food was simply amazing, I got to my office today to tell all my colleagues about this place - not 1 complaint on the food, gold star on the food. Never have I had such amazing food - perfection on the food !!!

We tried this place before heading to the airport. The service definitely needs improving. We waited 15 minutes before even getting on the waiting list. The young lady working the check-in was on the phone, I'm assuming taking a call in order. Anywho, after being seated, it is like everything slowed down. The service is poor. I thought we would have to take our food to go because of how long they took. In all, food was great but I probably wouldn't go back because of the service.
