The Front Yard

Restaurant of the Week: The Front Yard

A meal on the patio at the aptly-named The Front Yard feels less like dining at a restaurant and more like gathering at the home of your friend who has the best patio (and happens to be the best chef, too). The dining destination at The Garland hotel in North Hollywood dishes up an elevated spin on traditional dishes and a creative cocktail menu, to boot.

Like a scene out of a Beach Boys’ song, it’s only good vibes at this landmark stay.
