    Great service, really attractive restaurant, food was just ok. We got the patty melt and the fish tacos. Both were decent just not great. And they just really didn't look that appetizing. I think since the restaurant looks like of fancy, the look of the food just didn't match. The food looked more basic diner-y and again, just wasn't amazing.

    Review is for breakfast buffet - three days in a row. The Front Yard is the main restaurant in the Garland, and is famous for brunch, lunch, and dinner in a spacious restaurant with classic Hollywood and Polynesian vibes. Its also the main breakfast option for guests. Expect a 5-10 wait for breakfast. The adult and child buffet are actually very reasonable compared to the typical Hyatt or Marriott buffets. They tend to have the same stuff: scrambled eggs with cheese, spinach, and tomatoes, bacon, a thick chicken sausage, and roasted potatoes for the hot stuff. They have oatmeal, cereals, Chobani Yogurt, and assorted baked goods. My son's favorite of course are bananas, cantaloupe, and honeydew. Although the food doesn't change, its consistently good. 4 stars overall. For ala carte items, we tried Nutella-stuffed french toast, Avocado Toast, and an egg white scramble which turned out to be my wife's favorite. Super rich with healthy proteins and fats. For our three trips, we got the best service from Miko. The other two times the servers were less attentive and the kitchen got super backed up and we wound up taking some breakfast to go as lunch for a departing flight.

    All of our family were quite pleased to have this restaurant right on the hotel premises. The decor is very welcoming with tropical groovy vibes. I recall that most of staff were extremely friendly. The spot can get busy as one morning. We were turned away without a reservation over the next morning we were able to just cruise in. As a vegetarian, there's not a whole lot to order, but I was able to find a few things. The kids absolutely loved their stuffed French toast. Prices are on par for a hotel. I appreciated all the different dining spot we could have our meal- from indoors to outdoors all; quite nice.

    Not only is the food delicious at this wonderful restaurant but the hospitality is second to none. Whitney, the hostess, was incredibly kind when I realized I booked the reservation incorrectly (wrong date) and she was able to seat us promptly on a busy Sunday morning. I am so grateful for her and she deserves a shoutout. As I had mentioned the food is wonderful and the ambiance is beautiful! I recommend anything on the menu but everyone in our large party thoroughly enjoyed their homemade pop tarts. Our server was efficient and food was delivered promptly after ordering. We can't wait to come back!

    A Hotel Breakfast Buffet? Hear me out. What a surprise. This place was exactly what my taste palette wanted! Fresh squeezed juice that was not too sweet. I cannot stop raving about the candied bacon and the Valley Verde Salsa!! The Salmon Cream Cheese and the Banana Nut!! So delicious and amazing.

    The mac & cheese, flatbread and fries were good and brussels sprouts fantastic!

    It's been a long while since I had a meal here and even then it was great. Dinner was great with great company. Fast forward to today. We attended a friend's birthday party which I didn't even know that they had a private patio towards the back. I always thought that the main front patio was the only one available. Anyways, the whole restaurant is beautiful. From the main front patio, to the bar area which I highly recommend to the indoor dining room. But today's event was held in the back private patio. We were walked over by the hostess to the room. Right when you walk in, there's a bar to the right. To the left are some hi top tables with tufted back seat and high chairs. A cool modern lounge vibe. And right straight ahead were tables set up for the party as well as more seating along the wall with pillows. The whole party vibe was beautifully crafted. I believe it was open bar and for the meal, it was buffet. A gathering of amazing friends all there to celebrate someone special. The whole team at the restaurant whom I believe was in charge of the arrangement did an excellent job. Not only was it a party, they also had a dj which started off the party with karaoke. For the meal, the tables all had pitchers of mimosas to start. There were also other drinks at the bar set up as well as wine if needed. As it was a buffet, the food was arranged towards one side of the patio. Food consisted of house potatoes, bacon, sausages, brioche French toast, short rib eggs Benedict, two types of salad (Caesar and arugula), a fruit platter as well as build your own bagel and lox station with all the trimmings. Excellent choices for meal service and there was plenty of it. Everything was quite delicious. Only downfall, there wasn't a toaster for the bagels for the lox. Give or take some people prefer their bagels toasted while others didn't. The whole package was amazing and well executed. The hostess threw an amazing brunch gathering. The restaurant itself has great dishes and now that we've experience a brunch, it was great. Service was amazing with all the staff that took care of us was outstanding and very sweet. The experience was amazing for the private room which now I have enjoyed beside the restaurant. Also restrooms were right outside the door. If you're looking to host an event, the private patio area was amazing.

    Incredibly disappointing and completely inflexible. Tried coming here today to celebrate my birthday with a party of 10. The restaurant was completely dead, and the outdoor patio was entirely empty. Despite having immediate, wide-open availability on their app right now (with consecutive openings every 15 minutes all afternoon, as seen in images) , the staff refused to accommodate us or even attempt to piece tables together. Turning away a large group on their birthday when your establishment is practically empty is just terrible customer service and a massive management failure. the hostesses sighed and rolled her eyes before telling use they had no availability for today. If you want to actually be accommodated or celebrated, go somewhere else that cares about hospitality. Completely ruined the birthday mood.

    Amazing vibes at The Front Yard! This place is ideal for a great meal outdoors or a celebrating a birthday with a group. The decor is super fun and they have plenty of seating. Our waiter, Jesse, was perfectly attentive and we appreciated his food and drink recommendations. My friend had the short rib hash and I had the hot honey biscuit. We both loved our selections. We also had the pop tarts, which were just okay. Overall, it was a great lunch and I look forward to coming back again.

    Located at the Garland Hotel, the Front Yard holds its own as a restaurant. Conveniently off the 101 freeway on the cusp of North Hollywood and Studio City, this is a staple in the neighborhood for over 50 years. There is inside and outdoor seating available, the views are great both. Check out the menu with a variety of food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I always go for the buffets, I enjoy the variety, to get a little of everything. The waitstaff are pleasant and the vibe is chill to moderately bustling, depending on the time of day. Parking is validated for 3 hours.

    This is one of local gem dining in the area. Always crowded. We walked in around 5:30pm right when dinner time on a Sunday. They have some reservations already. They do wait for people to arrive and placed them before start assigning tables for walk in wait list. Nice gesture but lots of empty tables. We got seated to our table about 30min. Otherwise they said the next one will be around 7pm+. Next when the plate came out. It did takes awhile, about 30-40min for our order. Kinda long even though the dining area still has plenty of empty tables. Maybe we were on the bad days. AC was warm on our side even the tech came to check out while patio has wind breeze and the other side has cold AC. Now, the food, it's not too bad but nothing special. Fried chicken tasted good. Mac & Cheese are using shell pasta. instead of macaroni pasta. For the price, we could find better food. Parking is gated or Valet. About $8/hour on the gated side. Free when you purchased the food.

    I went to the front yard today for happy hour and it was relatively slow, but it took a while to get seated nonetheless we ordered our food and that did take a little bit of time too, but we gave them grace. We got the mac & cheese from the happy hour, which could use a little bit more seasoning, or additional cheeses we also got the short rib burger, which was very flavorful and tasty with a side salad. That was good. It had a great dressing to it. I believe that for ambience purposes, it is wonderful.

    Toast and butter with my breakfast
    Nola F.

    I ate at this restaurant twice while staying at The Garland Hotel. Once was for Happy Hour dessert and a drink with my daughter. I enjoyed my brownie and ice cream. It was delectable. The brownie tasted gourmet. My beer was fresh because it is made in California, nearby. I also ate at The Front Yard on the last day of my trip. I went to breakfast with a nice lady who was on the same group trip as us. My coffee was fair. It was sort of bland. For some.reason, I enjoy a good toast and butter. It is so basic but it just gives me a good start to the day. This butter was excellent and the toast had good flavor. My eggs were pretty good. They came out hot. The bacon was crispy enough for me. Our server was pleasant but it was hard to track her down when I wanted a refill. This is a restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. You almost have to come here at least once if you are staying on property. It is so convenient.

I didn't have a good experience, but decided that it could have been a one-time bad luck thing, so I didn't review. I recently tried it again now that it became Brews Brothers, and I'm sorry to say that it really misses the mark for me. Here is the breakdown of the pros and cons: Pros: One star for friendly service and being dog friendly. One star for good alcohol. Cons: - Seating is very uncomfortable. When this place was Stout, seating was very comfy. But for some reason, they've raised the bench seating WAY too high, to the point that your feet dangle if you're under 5'6". You're WAY above the table, and it's awkward and quite uncomfortable. - Food is sub-par. We tried an Okie burger and an ahi sandwich. The Okie burger was dry, tasteless, and underseasoned. The ahi sandwich was bland and unremarkable. The fries were far too overbreaded for my taste. I used to love this place, but now, after two not-great experiences with meh food and bad seating, I do not think I'll be back. Please, guys! Lower your bench seating and improve your burgers!

They have MARGARITA which is CRISPY PEPPERONI WITH A DRIZZLE OF SPICY HONEY, MELTY CHEESE, AND MARINARA ON A THIN, FLATBREAD. They also have great chicken tenders, wonderful wraps and yummy salads. My favorite being the Caesar. The service is great and the place is clean and comfortable. They have great drinks and some nice big screen TVs. This is not just some Sports Bar, it is better.
