text: Yolis has recently been popping up on Yelps Best Of front page Many people are mouthing out and as the food whore that I am I needed to go out and try it for myselfnnMy previous research told me that there were many stars and stars reviews regarding the ambiance service and food It seemed that the place had be stars for a while but trending analysis showed a decline in the late early Alright enough nerd talk it was a Saturday morning I was starving and I needed a place to have brunch with my lady friend in townnnWhen it comes to brunch at Yolis you really need to leave all your expectations at the door The neighborhood its in is a little subpar the parking situation is not grand and the interior and patio decor resembles a home that stopped paying for landscaping services a long time ago The tables outside are all basic basic plastic they are not squeaky clean or perfectly leveled and the seating is pretty limited If you are coming to Yolis you are coming here for the food and nothing else this are not no brunch at the Four SeasonsnnTheir menus are strictly breakfastbrunch related but at a sided page list their breakfast choices do have a large variety of flavors and prices The food is on the stealthier side with skillet dishes omelets and dinerstyle potato sides My friend and I ordered their most popular dish the El Monte Hawaiian french toast sandwich filled with egg whites turkey bacon and cheese with a spicy orange marmalade At about the sandwich was pretty large and filled me up easily after just half of it The french toast itself was soft and spongy and the bacon had some crisp but the turkey was very thinlysliced deli meat so it did not have a lot of flavor and the spicy marmalade was tasty but not spicy at allnnThe service was a tad slow but the lady was very very courteous and nice to us she just did not stop by very often so we had to wait around for our drinks and our check for quite a while Overall I was not blown away with Yolis but I would recommend as a place with decent portions and good prices As of now a stars on my booknnI am a big supporter of local restaurants and I love seeing a familyowned business thrive With a little bit more decor faster service and a cleaner environment this place can return to be the GEM that people used to talk about Yoli if you are reading this I hope you take this advice we all want to see you succeed so we hope you can get back on that horse and impress the hell out of us Good Luck
