This is like my 10th time coming here and I always come back for the tacos !!! Steak tacos are delicious! This time added a few more items to the menu so I wanted to share my thoughts on the food especially cause I didn't see these items on the menu so I figured I try something new. Brussels sprouts are good , might be to lime/lemonie but I ordered mine extra crispy. Side of Mac n cheese , pretty cheesy , can't go wrong. And the chicken soup mmm wasn't the best. Basic soup. Nothing crazy , not enough chicken and needs more flavor. Don't recommend it. They have this moz ball mmm wasn't my favorite. Kinda makes the soup look weird. Idk. My opinion Everything else is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is great, they have a rooftop patio too really nice and vibes are great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is great always!! read more

I think reservations are definitely recommended. We arrived yesterday evening at 6 p.m. after watching the new Spider-Man movie at the Landmark movie theater in Pasadena at 3 p.m. and it was an hour wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooftop patio seating was closed last night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lesson learned: even if reservations aren't easily made online, it's worth a phone call ahead of time to try to make one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful inside with two separate downstairs areas and one upstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't approve of the large TVs in the bar area but the sound was off at least.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once we were seated (and by the way, the hostesses were super friendly and hospitable), Joe was our helpful server. We ordered a Last Word and a Negroni with brussel sprouts to start with. The drinks were ok, the brussel sprouts were super tasty and well charred. Next we ordered the pork chop and chicken skillet. I wanted to order the peri peri chicken but they were out of it. We also ordered a boulevardier and espresso martini. The pork and chicken were so tender and flavorful! My espresso martini tasted like a smooth liquid dessert . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very loud inside. My husband could barely hear me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Curious about the rooftop seating so maybe a reservation for up there next time, maybe I'll get to try the peri peri chicken[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Highly recommend! read more

Happy Hour Only! Prior to dinner in Pasadena, we popped in for some happy hour. At this time there are select days at this location where there is all day happy hour-- I believe Monday- Wednesday. Other weekdays its select hours of happy hour that starts at three. Happy hour consist of select beers, wine, and cocktails. With beer starting at $6.50 and cocktails going up to 13 dollars. Plus, there is a wide range of food items to compliment your drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance at this location is particularly nice. I think this is one of my favorite locations[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the first floor that is a large bar, plus there is a roof top patio and seating on three different floors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Note, happy hour is only served at the first flow bar unfortunately. The service is always great at this location. The bartender was very attentive during our visit. In front of the restaurant there is street parking that gets busy at night. Prior to 6pm, some parking in front is limited to one hour so read the signs carefully. Also, the parking in front is metered so pay the pay the meter. I believe there is parking in the rear that offers a limited free parking time. Cheers! read more

My first time at Granville and I had a great time here!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came to sit at the rooftop bar, but we decided to sit downstairs since it was packed upstairs and not so much of a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried a lemon drop and prosecco and it was made to perfection. The bartender Juan was incredible!!! Good sense of humor and down to earth. I recommend him if you have him. He's the best bartender there. We ordered a small fry and OMG the fries were so delicious!!! It comes with 3 sides of sauces they are very good with the fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is perfect and nice for date night or hanging out with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good bar vibes and nice location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will come back!!

Been wanting to check out the rooftop area so we came here for happy hour. Once we sat down, we were told the happy hour menu is only served on the first floor in the bar. We had sweet potato fries, thick cut French fries, basic cheeseburger, village burger and hefeweizen from a local brewery. The food was tasty and I can tell the care they put in the food with quality ingredients and nice touch of fresh herbs with the fries. The restaurant is beautiful. A very nice spot in Pasadena. Service is on point. I'd come back again for happy hour and regular meal. read more

My friends and I were looking for a cute place to eat with a lot of different food options since we all were feeling different vibes. The servers seated us on the rooftop super quickly for a Sunday evening and we were greeted by our waitress Sami soon after. Sami was such a delight, I only want her to be my waitress from now on. Yes the food was delicious and priced reasonably for the location and gorgeous rooftop, but Sami stole my heart! read more

Had such a great time at Granville! It was my first time visiting I came for dinner and sat at the bar. My friend and I were really well taken care of; the bartenders were super friendly, took our order promptly, and checked in on us throughout the night. I ordered the pork chop, which was incredibly flavorful and delicious. The mashed potatoes were nice and creamy, and the spinach had an amazing lemon and garlic flavor so good. The ambiance is also really nice, with low lighting that makes it perfect for any occasion, plus TVs if you want to catch a game. read more

This is really a 3.5. Great spot for a nice lunch or dinner! I've been to a few locations and the ambiance at this location is really lovely, especially on the rooftop. The food is decent, maybe a little overpriced for what it is and given all of the fast casual places around here, but it would be good for a business or nicer lunch on a weekday or a date night. My favorite is the Santa Barbara chicken sandwich. The service is friendly and professional, but is pretty slow. I've probably been here 25+ times over the years and always had to wait at every stage of the process. Last time I went, we waited about 10 minutes just for someone to approach us and offer us water. Maybe just chronically understaffed? Important to note: this location does not take reservations and it gets pretty crowded on the weekends for brunch/lunch, so plan accordingly :) read more

Seated at the bar at Happy hour. Was greeted and asked what I would like order after 3 mins. Brussels sprouts were good! Finish my time at happy hour and went upstairs on rooftop to order a meal and was seated right away! Took a min for the waiter to greet me but by the time she came, I was ready to order and she brought me water. I didn't know the peri peri sauce on chicken was a little spicy, I'm picky so I didn't like the sauce too much and scooter over to the side and the broccolini was super salty. 4 star bc of this but other than that, [[HIGHLIGHT]]restaurant felt clean, nice and staff was friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came here with six of my cousins for a "Mom's dinner," so we were a party of seven. One of them suggested Granville, and it's definitely a spot you can't miss--it's on a corner with plenty of street parking, plus a lot behind the restaurant. We went on a Saturday night, so we expected a wait and ended up waiting just over an hour. Once seated, our drinks arrived quickly. I wasn't drinking alcohol but ordered a mocktail called Elixir (granny smith apple, cucumber, thyme and coriander shrub, lemon juice). It was not only beautifully presented but also delicious! The vibe inside is amazing. Even though it was packed, it wasn't overly loud, so we could easily chat at our table. Our server, Jose S., was fantastic--helpful with recommendations, attentive without being rushed, and made small talk that felt genuine. For my meal, I ordered the Bacon and Blue Burger: wagyu beef, sustainable cane duroc bacon, Point Reyes aged blue cheese, port wine reduction, horseradish aioli, caramelized onions, mushrooms, arugula, on a brioche bun, served with house potato chips. Every bite was incredible! If you like blue cheese and mushrooms, this is a must-try. The wagyu beef was so flavorful. Others in my party had the steak, a salad, and chicken--everything was just as tasty. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

My friends and I were looking for a rooftop bar nearby and came across this spot! Such a good find! They don't take reservations, but the wait wasn't bad at all. We went on a Saturday around 7pm. There was no wait for the downstairs area but since we wanted to be at the rooftop, we waited about 30 minutes for a table. The vibe is super cute and the service was really friendly. The drinks were all great, but the food was just okay. A few of us ordered the wagyu stroganoff and the meat was tender and flavorful, and our server gave us a heads up about the horseradish, which we really appreciated. The portions were huge, so we couldn't even finish. One of my friends ordered the spicy pasta and it was a bit disappointing. It had heat, but not much flavor. Even with a high spice tolerance, it tasted like straight crushed red pepper the whole time. Overall, definitely worth it for the ambiance and drinks! read more

We really enjoyed eating here. This place has excellent views whether you're eating upstairs or downstairs. The food did take a little long but as you could probably tell from the pictures, they were worth the wait. The noodles in the pasta were like the perfect consistency which is something I always take note of. Their Ahi tasted very fresh and I would gladly dine here again anytime! read more

They have great deals for dineLA. The poke bowl is delicious and very light as well, with fruit and avocado tossed in. Get their Mac and cheese side, you won't be disappointed. Ambiance and aesthetic is more upscale casual. Service is also great as the servers come and check in on you very often read more

My family and I tried Granville per my brother's recommendation from a previous positive experience he had in the Studio City location. Upon walking in, you'll find an upscale bar on the right and variety of tables on the left-hand side of the restaurant. Our hostess had a phone call when we first arrived, but she still greeted us brightly and promptly seated our party of 4. Jorge's customer service was on point throughout the night. He was polite, knowledgeable about the entire menu, and did his due diligence in accommodating my noted food allergy. We ordered: - the trio of tacos - peri peri half chicken - ahi tuna & noodles - branzino - flourless chocolate cake - oasis mocktail Tacos were fantastic! I recall my mother really digging the shrimp taco, while my brother loved the chicken taco. The big plate of chicken was a huge hit in my family's table. Apart from the half chicken itself, there was an abundance of mashed potatoes and broccolini. My brother devoured his ahi tuna steak and noodles, I guess that's the plate I'll have to try for myself for future visits. I myself, enjoyed the branzino plate - but for the price tag, I would have liked a slightly bigger portion of beets and perhaps a small salad to complement my fish. Still an overall fantastic dish, I was the first to clear my plate. If you're driving or cutting back on alcohol, they have a small mocktail menu. The Elixir, Oasis, and Velvet were the three drinks featured. Pricing is a bit steep at $12, but I will say the Oasis Mocktail I ordered was quite refreshing. read more

We love this place! We used to be locals and we now drive to have it for date night. The pork chop is nicely seasoned, and our favorite, the mashed potatoes!

Amazing restaurant with rooftop seating. Don't worry, there's an elevator. Our party of six got seated pretty quickly for a Sunday afternoon. The waiter was very attentive. We ordered appetizers and drinks , chatted a bit, then ordered dinner. The food came out together, not great timing but luckily there was room on the table. My black and blue burger was outstanding. The bacon, wish I had a pound of it. The flavor was like no other. I ordered my burger well and it was a bit undercooked for my taste but I didn't bother sending it back. Did I mention how delicious the bacon was. YUMMY. The fries, both white and sweet potato made a great side. Nice crisp on the outside. Would definitely recommend and return when in California again. read more

I've been curious about this place for awhile; their DineLA lunch menu finally brought me in. I don't come to the Lake Ave district all that often because parking is difficult, more so than Old Town I think. I quickly discovered Granville is a very popular place. It's located on the corner of Lake and Del Mar. Unlike some of the businesses on the east side of Lake that have entrances on Lake as well as from the rear parking lot, Granville only has a Lake Ave entrance. There are 5 Granville locations in LA. Some take reservations; Pasadena does not. The restaurant has 3 levels. Ground level has 2 dining rooms, one with a bar and communal table. There's a sidewalk dining area on Del Mar and 3 outdoor tables on Lake. The mezzanine has a dining nook that wasn't open when I was there, plus the restrooms and, I think, private dining room(s). The rooftop is a dining space and has its own bar. The DineLA menu included 3-courses and a beverage (non-alcoholic), with all items off the regular menu (and smaller portion sizes). My berry lemonade was quite nice. The Uptown Mac and Cheese was made uptown with the addition of chicken, peas and asparagus. Tasty with some crispy edges. The Poke Bowl was good, although the tuna was not seasoned with soy sauce or sesame oil or anything. There were soba noodles, mango, avocado and other ingredients, but many were overpowered by cilantro, an omnipotent herb. They were out of the cherry almond chip gelato I wanted, so I had the flourless chocolate cake, which came with vanilla cream and port cherries. It was fine. I was at the bar, and the bartenders were pretty attentive. I'd return, because the menu is pretty large. read more

Had an incredible Sunday afternoon at Granville. No wait, gorgeous views, and the Espresso Martini was absolutely top-tier--perfectly balanced and crafted by a bartender who clearly knows his art and even tailored it to my taste. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the rooftop setting elevated everything. The appetizers were delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the company made it unforgettable. One of those experiences where everything just clicks. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great food, ambiance and service! Will be coming back soon! The skirt steak was tender and delicious.

We stopped by Granville on our way to an author meet-and-greet at Vroman's Bookstore up the street, and it did not disappoint. We were seated quickly on the roof, right by the fire as the sun set, which created a warm and relaxed atmosphere perfect for a memorable visit. Sammy, was our server she had the best recommendations and delivered attentive, friendly service that made the experience extra special. We started with cocktails, all fantastic, with the White Lady and Gran Sour standing out as favorites among the group. For starters, the Brussel Sprouts, grilled cheese dippers, and the bread with whipped duck fat butter were all delicious, the bread and butter being especially indulgent. For entrees, the Stroganoff was amazing--comforting and perfectly seasoned, and served in a cute Dutch oven. The pork chop with mango chutney was also outstanding, pairing well with Cajun spices. I'm already planning a return visit to try the miso brown butter chicken and to explore the dessert menu. Overall, Granville offered a superb combination of superb service, strong cocktails, and standout dishes, all enjoyed in a stunning rooftop setting. I'll definitely be back to see Sammy again and to continue exploring the menu. read more

We came here for a baby shower and reserved the mezzanine level. It's minimum of 12 people so if you have lesser you still have to pay for 12 so fyi. But the table and chairs looks like it can accommodate up to 25 people. We had a prefix menu where we were able to select ahead of time. We selected the Granville salad, Angel hair pasta, trout, steak, and it came with a brownie dessert. The food was really good, it has mashed potatoes side, broccolini, and roasted carrots. Service was excellent from the greetings of the hostess and our amazing waiter. Definitely recommend for a mini gathering or party they also allow you to bring your own decor for the table. read more

We stopped by for a drink on the rooftop bar area but apparently it was closed and downstairs was already last call. We stoped in around 8:40 on a Thursday night. I guess they close early. Not only us, there were three others that walked in as well. We did manage to get some drinks and a snack. But honestly we felt rushed throughout the whole experience. About 15 minutes after we sat, there was a group of about 8 that also walked in and they were also notify about last call. I think some got drinks while a few others that walked in afterwards weren't allowed. They said the same things we did regarding the hours. Even with holiday season, I don't think they have holiday hours. We always normally enjoy our visit each time but this experience, it was just whatever. Felt rushed but at least we were served so that was nice. I guess we should have checked the hours beforehand but thinking it was a big restaurant during the holidays. They would at least have holidays hours but oh well, we know now. read more

Went for dine la last weekend and was so glad I got to try this spot! It's a newer building with a chic vibe. There are no reservations so the wait can be long so time it wisely or look for seating in the bar area. I will say the dine la menu was awesome! Literally in times when everything is $$$ it was a great deal for good eats! I tried: - Uptown mac and cheese which was soo yummy and filling! It's similar to the one I make at home and was a real comfort food. Loved the veggies added. - Bacon & blue burger was really delicious! The flavors danced in my mouth and the burger was cooked to perfection! The chips that came with the burger were tasty, but a bit too salty for my taste - Flourless chocolate cake was another winner! Not too sweet or dense and a nice way to end the meal! - The meal also came with a berry lemonade, ice tea and craft soda option... definitely try the berry lemonade! So refreshing! All in all winner of a meal for dinela! Definitely going back! read more

It's my first time at Granville but it's a nice spot for date night or to hang out with friends. This location in Pasadena has a large shared parking lot in the back which is free for the first 90 minutes and is also free after 7 pm Mon to Sat. I assume it's free all day on Sunday. Unfortunately they don't take reservations. It's walk in only, so you may have to wait during busy times. I came Saturday night around 6 pm with a party of 4 and the wait was quoted at ~1 hour. Luckily the wait was a bit shorter and we got a text that our table was ready after 40 minutes. They have a good drink selection, including some non alcoholic options as well. I ordered the Elixir mocktail ($12) as the combination of incredients sounded interesting, but it was more sour than I expected and didn't have as much of an apple taste as I was expecting based on the description. It was still good though. I personally found the food portions to be on the small side. We ordered fries to share for the table, and while it was a good appy to munch on, split among 4 people it wasn't much. For my main, I got the Village burger ($19) with tomato bisque on the side (+$5). Again, the burger was on the small side, and I personally found it a bit bland as well. The tomato bisque was amazing though, and hands down was my favorite part of the meal. My other friends enjoyed their food as well. One friend ordered the spicy pasta with grilled chicken ($22 + $6 for chicken), which was probably the item with the biggest portion at the table. It was surprisingly spicy but had really good flavor, so he really enjoyed it. The other two ordered the pork chops and a spring salad and said their food was solid. After we finished eating, we sat around and chatted for a while longer over drinks. We never felt rushed and ended up being one of the last tables to leave. read more

Came in on a Friday evening and sat at a high-top by the bar. We started with the pita and hummus, and the bread and butter with a side of sea salt. Honestly, I could've skipped the hummus, but the bread and butter was excellent perfectly toasted, soft butter, with a side of sea salt. For entrées, we ordered the vodka pasta and the spicy pasta. The vodka pasta is a must-order super flavorful and definitely the standout. The spicy pasta had a slight Cajun kick, which was good, but I personally preferred the vodka. For drinks, the pineapple margarita was really good. We ended with dessert: the Devil's Advocate flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and a strawberry shortcake both were delicious and a great way to finish the meal. Overall, it was a great experience. The entire staff was extremely friendly even the busser and food runner checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Despite the restaurant being busy and fully packed, the service never slipped. Will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant is two floors for dining. There's the first floor and rooftop area. My wife and I did not wait because you have the option to sit and eat at the bar. You walk in and you're welcomed to a wood themed sitting area. The vibe of the place is chill and classy. I would recommend to go there and sit down to enjoy the full experience. Service was fast and the waiters and waitresses were efficient and friendly. We ordered a Cesar Salad, Hummus w/ House Made Bread, Beef Stroganoff Pasta and Chicken Plate. We also ordered drinks to start. The drinks were delicious and were full of flavor, honestly didn't taste like it had alcohol. I honestly forgot which flavor or drinks we had. The pasta was savory and noodles were cooked perfectly. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. By far the star was actually the Cesar Salad. The Cesar's salad is prepared with leaf style lettuce and served perfectly tossed along with crumb croutons instead of the usual squares. It was the perfect bland of crispy and savory flavor. The house made bread with the hummus was also delicious. The hummus was good but I really enjoyed the bread. The bread was fluffy and salted to perfected and when mixed with the hummus makes the balance. I will definitely be returning to this place soon. read more
