Little Dom's - am I going to believe Food Network ever again?

Ok so you know I'm always honest - sometimes too honest! The only reason why I even know about this place is because of the Food Network show, The Best Thing I Ever Ate - Little Dom's Breakfast Pizza. Hence the reason why I dragged my mother, my friend, my husband to go out to Los Feliz to eat there with me. Looking back, it was a lost cause but at the time, as we were rushing to get there, my senses told me every bite of that pizza was going to scream "YUMMY" at me. Suffice it to say, that didn't happen. Am I ever going to believe what the Food Network has to say? I would have to sadly scream back, "Hell No!!"

First Impressions at Little Dom's:

-The hostess, the bartender and some patrons at the bar were more interested in talking about what show they booked rather than realizing there were 7 people waiting at the podium.

-Every other word that came out of their mouthes were "FUCK this/Fuck that."

-Loved the decor, loved the bar, loved the fruit-infused vodka bottles. By the way, can I get some attention here?

Service at Little Dom's:

-Hostess/Wannabe Actress: Can you clean a table w/o looking for your reflection in the window?

-Our Waiter: Nice. Big red beard. A bit impatient. Made cute joke about diet coke refill. He was fine though.

Food at Little Dom's:

-The Food Network featured Little Dom's breakfast pizza as one of the "Best Things I Ever Ate." Well, if this breakfast pizza was the best thing the Food Network ever ate, then I hate to tell you--THEY LIED! Never trust them again. There was nothing "Best" about it.




-Smoked Salmon flatbread w/ red onions, lemon juice, capers and cream cheese was good b/c it was nothing out of the ordinary. You could've used a thin slice of wheat toast w/ the same ingredients and saved $16 buckeroos.

-Rosemary potato and Fontina cheese Frittata...hmmm...really? No. I dont think I tasted anything worthy in this omelette. Yeah I said, omelette! Surely it was not a Frittata.

-Finally something WORTH MENTIONING! The Ricotta Cheese Blueberry Pancakes saved the day! They were fluffy, light, pre-made (which I do not like) but delish and served within 24 seconds of ordering them. These pancakes saved our Lil Dom's experience.

So the breakfast pizza was not close to the best thing we ever ate but the blueberry pancakes saved the day. Would I go back to Little Dom's? Hmm, probably not. If I lived closer, maybe I would just get their pancakes as take out b/c their service was far from stellar. Do they care about being stellar? I didn't feel it. I also didn't feel they were passionate about their food.
And that is a Big No No for me.

Little Dom's Food: 3 Stars for the pancakes, 2 stars for everything else
