I had such a wonderful experience. Victoria helped me organize a very personal party in the Tangerine Room last week. It came off better than we could have hoped for. The room, the ambiance, the food and the incredibly kind and helpful staff made the evening warm, and wonderful. We highly recommend it. read more

I love this place, every time I come in, I have the best time. I am especially a fan of their deviled eggs, chicken, and flatbreads! Service is amazing, and the staff is super knowledgeable and friendly in their work. Always happy to see them! The restaurant is spacious and has wonderful seating arrangements for parties of any size. I've dined in and outdoor, and it's clean and comfortable all around. read more

I visited this restaurant with a friend yesterday, and we had a reservation through OpenTable. When we arrived, we asked if we could sit outdoors. The host informed us that our reservation did not specify outdoor seating and said we would need to wait about 1.5 hours at the bar because no outdoor tables were available. While waiting, we checked OpenTable and noticed that outdoor reservations were still available, so we updated our reservation and selected outdoor seating for that same time. We let the host know that we had changed our reservation, but despite having a confirmed outdoor reservation, he still insisted that we continue waiting, even though several outdoor tables appeared to be open and available. The food and drinks were excellent, and we truly enjoyed everything we ordered. Unfortunately, the experience with the host left a disappointing first impression. We felt that the interaction could have been handled in a much more welcoming and accommodating manner. To make matters even more confusing, the outdoor tables we had hoped to sit at remained empty for the rest of the evening and were never occupied. Overall, the quality of the food and drinks was outstanding, but I hope the restaurant places more emphasis on customer service and hospitality. A friendly, accommodating host can make a significant difference in the overall dining experience. read more

This was our second time coming to this location, & it was even better than the first! My boyfriend & I came with friends & family to celebrate his birthday, & we were able to get a last minute reservation that worked out perfectly. The service was amazing...our servers were quick, kind, & very attentive. We sat outside with perfect weather, which made the experience even better. The strawberry drinks were a huge hit with all the girls at the table & were absolutely delicious! Such a beautiful spot for a date night, family meal, or celebration with friends. 10/10 experience! read more

Kind of stunning little hideaway, given how close it is to the freeway. If I hadn't heard about it, I might not have known to look it up! The garden patio is just lovely. So cozy and cute, with bistro details like hanging lights and seats with comfortable pillows. The ambiance is classy but relaxed, and it reflects in the atmosphere. It was so pleasant just to enjoy a cool evening with some charcuterie and drinks. Their cocktails were the highlight for me, a couple of summery flavors that hit just right between a blackberry shrub and a strawberry martini. I'd definitely go back to try their other offerings, especially their takes on the classics. Service was prompt, the parking lot attendant was helpful, and all in all, it was such a breeze being there and enjoying myself that I know I'll be back before these long summer nights get too short. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Miko, our server did an awesome job. She does her job well, communicates efficiently, is very attentive and did not make us feel rushed. Kyle is awesome also and hard-working as front of the house manager. Steven, on the other hand (the other front of the house manager) stood near the bar (where the servers pick up drinks) while I watched my drink sit there for roughly 3 1/2 minutes while he talked and laughed with the bartender instead of taking five steps to drop my drink off. Kyle brought my other drinks over as soon as they were ready. If I owned this restaurant, I would want to know this information. The food was excellent! We will return and it's dog friendly, which is nice also. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Do you remember beautiful, talented Beverly Garland? The minute I realized this restaurant and hotel were her brainchildren, I recalled an image of her in sci-fi movies of the '50s and on My Three Sons (dating myself!). This amazing complex proves she had brains and practical savvy too. Her son owns it now and he has kept its glory. She would be so pleased. When I first moved from NYC to LA, people told me they never went "up over the hill". Come to think of it, what does that even mean? I guess, not over the mountains to "The Valley"? How wrong they were. The Front Yard is a treasure in what is politely called NoHo or Studio City. I didn't expect to be as bowled over as I was. The place is gorgeous, the food is spectacular, and the '70s vibe (my best decade) is intact and authenic. Warm welcoming beauty, cozy vibe, with plenty of free parking (validated). It is now in my top five places in all of Los Angeles. And a stone's throw from the 170 freeway. Take a look at my photos. I love love love that interior! First we sat at the Tangerine bar, then were seated on the patio. Next time I want to be inside near those glowing orange-yellow windows. There is even an outdoor fireplace and entryway torches, how cool is that? We got there a bit early on what I was sure would be a quiet time and day. Nope! It was teeming with celebrating people. No one minded waiting, you just find a place to perch in this spacious venue and absorb the festive vibes. The brunch menu had everything I as a lifelong vegetarian could ask for and I was so enthralled that I even, as a teetotaler, ordered a Mezcal Negroni, prepared perfectly by the affable Adriaan, our bar tender. After that it was just smooth as glass, with our server James attending to our every need. Not one, but two managers came to our table to ask how we were doing and we just burbled over with effusive praise. It was a delightful surprise. There are some glimpses of Beverly the blonde beauty's amazing hotel here too complete with a free tram that takes guests to the various attractions of the area for free (Universal City, City Walk, etc.) If you are from anywhere outside of LA, you will want to revel in the past glory of Hollywood and there is no place better to slip back in time than pristine and immaculate Garland and Front Yard, even on a cloudy day! Like the luminous Beverly herself, the sun just shines over this place anyway. Don't miss it. read more

This restaurant is on site for the Garland Hotel. They have a beautiful outside area. Inside is nice too. I had some credit to use at the hotel so Mom and I decided to get some dessert. I ordered the ice cream sandwich, which was ok. I did not know in advance the cookies were dark chocolate. The ice cream was pretty good. Her brownie with ice cream was excellent. If we had more time, I woukd have ordered that another day. The bartender was upbeat and pleasant. Overall, this is a very nice restaurant to eat at, especially if you are staying at The Garland. read more

This place was a surprise! I visit in this neighborhood often and thought I'd discovered all the hidden gems. I had not. The old-school decor belies the excellent cuisine here. The food is excellent. I had the pastrami sandwich and what was so excellent? The pastrami was, of course seasoned perfectly, like NY Pastrami. Then it had a spicy cole slaw and the cole slaw didn't drip of mayonnaise. It maintained its integrity in the absolutely delicious marble rye. Ok I hadn't had marble rye in a few years and it could have been that but this marble rye was so tasty I felt I had gone to bakery heaven. My friend had the steak salad and she's been disappointed that it's only offered on the lunch menu Monday through Friday. Steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked with delicious salad. I did have the deviled eggs and they were ok. Nothing to write home about but the rest of the meal made up for it. The wait staff was stellar. Go here if you're in the neighborhood. In fact, go out of your way to eat here. Delicious. read more

I've been here several times and it's a cool little restaurant that's connected to the Garland hotel. The restaurant shares its parking with the hotel or you can valet in the front. The restaurant does validate your ticket for the parking so no worries there. The place is very nice with a spacious outside patio, a bar area and the main dinning area where we sat. It's perfect during a nice sunny day to sit out on the patio, relax, enjoy the nice sunny cali vibes with a drink or two. Our waitress was very nice and brought us water immediately and gave us time to look at the menus. Once we were ready we went with the Thai Salmon salad and the TCY patty melt. The Thai salad was pretty good and my coworker enjoyed her patty melt. This place is great and can get packed but if you can get a reservation or come during the week when it's not as crowded, you should experience The Front Yard. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros read more

Came here recently to celebrate a cousins birthday. The event was lovely as we sat outside, they catered it with a nice spread of breakfast items, mimosas were flowing and they even set up karaoke because, well, Filipino people. Glad they had valet - $9 - so that I didn't have to worry about parking. Staff was friendly and attentive. Why 3 stars? Part of the food were bagels yet there was no toaster. The french toast was wildly bland. I don't know what kind of sausage they had but the texture was very off-putting. Space was really cramped. Also while I "get it" from an it could be abused by people standpoint, when they said last call for food and there was so much food leftover and I asked if I could take some french toast home, they said no. Not allowed. I imagine this means the food was thrown away and this comes off as extremely wasteful. read more

I went to The Front Yard on a Saturday for dinner and did not have the best experience. While the food was good, there was confusion with the hosts and the wait staff that I think should have been handled better. My date and I arrived at 10:35pm with 10:45pm reservations and we were told dinner stopped at 10:30pm but we could be seated for happy hour which starts at 10:45pm. My date told the host he made reservations for dinner and wasn't informed dinner stopped at 10:30pm. I didn't know restaurants take reservations for happy hour. She apologized and we were seated for happy hour and she hands us the menu. The happy hour menu actually had great options and when the waiter comes to our table and we start to order he says happy hour doesn't start until 11:00pm. We tell him the hosts said it started at 10:45pm and he abruptly walks away from the table visibly annoyed. When he comes back we order food and drinks and he says they don't have the sliders and the hosts gave us the wrong happy hour menu. HUH?! Again he walks away and comes back with a "weekend happy hour" menu where the prices are higher. The whole experience was strange and unpleasant. The only reason I didn't ask to speak to a manager is because I didn't want our evening to be ruined. read more

I love this spot. I live right down the road so I can walk there. It's absolutely gorgeous, inside and outside.

The service can be hit or miss, but the food is always on point. I'm a huge fan of their deviled eggs and of the fries. The drinks are absolutely delicious too (just standard LA high pricing now). read more

Needed a restaurant for a client lunch and found Front Yard in my search, turned out to be a good find at that. We shared an order of brussel sprouts and their "not to be missed" chive flat bread. The brussels were nicely roasted and with a nice zing from the Chili's. The flat bread was good, but you could miss it for other options. Two of us had the Royale with cheese (burger) and one had the BLT Banh MI sandwich. We all elected fries as our side. The burger was beautifully cooked & juicy, and the special sauce added to the flavor profile. The seasoned fries were some of the best I've had recently. My colleague enjoyed the Banh MI as well. Service was friendly, if a bit slow. The restaurant is large with many different area, including a large patio. They have a full bar. read more

I have been here multiple times and each time does not disappoint. Their brunch is great and their dinner is also good. They do have designated meals times - can't get lunch early and vice versa. we accidentally did get a lunch menu and had that taken away by the server.

If there is a but of a wait, there is a designated bar where you can get a drink while you wait. read more

We decided to give TFY another try after a disastrous visit a couple of years back. Really happy we did as it was a MUCH better experience. Hostesses were friendly this time and service from Miko was outstanding. She gets a 10 out of 5 stars! She offered great insight on the dishes and was attentive. Pacing of the meal was very good. The food was all good to really good. Cheese Biscuits were so delicious! Onion soup was a winner for me, just okay for my wife. The Peruvian Scallops were super tasty, but the preparation wasn't great as two of the five were light on the bernaise topping. Very tasty dish but just inconsistent. Beef Tartare was quite good, and the Red Curry Squash was decent, but really could have used some spice. Miko was really lovely to offer a dessert to make up for the last experience, and while there wasn't much room left in us, we did try the Carrot Cake Brulee. It was interesting, but not something I'd get again. Cocktails were very good. I got a Cucumber Press that I liked a lot, and then a Coffee & Smoke which was good, but a little heavy on the Campari. Decent wine selection is available. We sat inside, but the outdoor seating is super charming. All in all, a really good visit. read more
