"Don’t write off brunch at this all-day restaurant inside North Hollywood’s Garland Hotel as sleepy. The fireplace-adorned courtyard fills with studio workers sipping wine during their lunch hours and retirees getting day drunk because they can. But the place comes into its own during weekend brunch. Valley locals and excited hotel guests eat dishes like short rib hash and egg-topped breakfast burgers. $28 mimosa pitchers garnish every table. If you’re looking to get a little day drunk, but not go completely off the rails, The Front Yard works well as a middle ground." - brant cox, sylvio martins
