    Mac N' Cheese
    Nicole C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This review of 5 stars goes out to our server Bridgette,and the rest of the crew here that provided excellent service, and great tasting food. We found plenty of paid parking in lot to hotel. Parking was validated by restaurant when paying the bill. Service was fast and pleasant. There is lots of seating inside perfect for drinks with friends or loved ones with sexxxy mood lighting and decor is beautiful mid century style. This is like a lil hidden gem that we did not know about but now that I do, we most def will be back. I suggest you give this place a try and hope you enjoy.

    Food was good, but the initial interaction with the male host left a bad taste in my mouth. We asked if we can be seated closer to the fireplace yesterday, and he said the seats are lower and hard to eat, but I insisted to check it out. When we signified interest to be in that table., he said there will be a long wait! It was 12 noon, and the place was mostly empty until the time we left at 2:30! His facial expressions, including our male server were not very welcoming. Nice ambiance though, if you are okay to be treated like s***!

    A charming courtyard

    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.

    Happy Hour menu

    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.

    Andrea S.

    Amazing place to try if you are staying at The Garland. We took advantage of happy hour both nights of our stay and are so happy we did. Shoutout to Anthony for being an amazing bartender! Great atmosphere and everything was delicious! Would definitely dine here again.

    steak salad
    Roni Q.

    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.

    In a town filled with bougie breakfast spots serving food more memorable for its price than its…read moreflavor, Vivian's is both a treat and a retreat. The place has been doing its thing since the 1960's, and they offer generous portions at prices at least a few bucks below the going rate. Perhaps it's because they own the building (it used to be a house), or maybe they just know how to manage their expenses properly. Whatever the reason, paying reasonable prices for amply served good food is reason enough for a visit. But it's far from the only reason. That converted house still holds 4 cozy tables at the front, and sitting in there you feel like you may be in a country cafe somewhere off the interstate. But out back there's a roomy courtyard patio with awnings and umbrellas, and foliage that's got nothing to do with Southern California. That foreign foliage, combined with the exposed brick of neighboring buildings, gives the impression of a breakfast nook in the French Quarter, minus the humidity and morning-after regret. The slightly off-kilter tables balanced carefully on the equally uneven cement complete the imperfectly perfect charm of the scene. Our server, Cait, was cheery and attentive, friendly and chatty, despite having quite a few tables to tend to. She carefully noted special requests, and kept things moving along. My wife ordered the Breakfast Combo of Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs and Bacon, and they did not disappoint. The pancakes were good-sized but properly cooked, with crispy edges and a moist interior (often, the bigger flapjacks fail the edge-to-center cook ratio, but these were on point). Eggs were well-made, and the bacon crispy. For my meal, I asked that the Italian Omelet be made as a scramble, and they happily obliged. The sausage neatly balanced sweetness and herbs for a truly Italian flavor profile. Scrambled together with eggs and sauteed peppers & onions, and topped with melted mozzarella cheese, this was a hearty and satisfying starring feature. But the co-star -- house-made home fries, also with peppers and onions -- played its role very well, offering a lot more taste than so many potato sides served up across the town. Really a great breakfast, though you should know they have a full menu of lunch items as well. Common sense would say I should shut up, lest the place become too busy and I have to wait a long time for my next table; but real common sense says everyone should go and enjoy a good meal in a great setting, and Vivian's should stay in business for another 60 years.

One of my friends invited me here now he has a breakfast sandwich because that's what he always eats but the potatoes that it came with season wonderfully I took a moment to try some but the real reason I had to come here was to see my friend sit out back and have a nice delicious latte, but I wasn't kidding around. My friend knew I meant business when I said I don't wanna double I wanna double double and that means four shots. My waiter had my drink to me less than five minutes and me and my friend sat and talked and he gobbled his sandwich so fast I don't even think the plate was left. The only issue with this place even around Background on the street parking is ridiculous so if you can sneak across the street, but the service is incredible the food is beautiful and this place is definitely worth every second you spend here and every dollar.
