Artisan Bread & Butter Housemade Hummus
Jessica G.

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.

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.

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 :)

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!

Angel Hair Pasta
Maggie V.

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.

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!

Bacon & Blue Burger
Loretta M.

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.

Berry lemonade
Hailey C.

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

Espresso Martini
Todd J.

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.

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.

环境挺舒服的。菜品也不错,意大利面挺入味的,海鲜很多。带着睡亮有点太大了,就是2.3个菜都根本就吃不完。这个司康的就比较一般,下次不会再点。本来是有一个露台的位置,但是因为下雨就没开了。

Elocin T.

Service is great the food tastes great and they do have a email promotion sign up so before you go be sure to sign up for that so that you are on their mailing list the restaurant itself is not large or huge there's a couple seating area there's a bar area there's a rooftop area and then a couple tables along the side if you want to people watch on the street that would be a good place to sit and the outside seating is pet friendly so that is a huge plus if you have a dog one of the restrooms was out of order during the time we went so they actually had to have a bathroom attendant to guide people in and out of the restroom

Poke Bowl - comes with noodles vs rice
Makiko N.

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!

First off, I have to praise 1933 group because I have loved every single bar they have revitalized and this one is no different. In keeping with their MO, The Lucky Tiki is a speakeasy with a vintage vibe. I won't give away how to get in but let's just say, it's near the front of Highland Park Bowl. My husband and I didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name in and got seated about an hour or so later. I was amazed as soon as I walked in the door! It's just floor to ceiling decorated with everything tiki. So many fun details and even interactive elements that turn on when a particular drink was ordered. That was probably my favorite part honestly. We ordered the Tiki Diablo, which is a large tiki drink with a flaming volcano. And yes it does have an interactive element. It was really good. Very fruity and strong, but not overly so. Service was excellent. Our waitress was on it and even waited to make sure my husband was back from the bathroom before lighting our drink on fire. We didn't try any food this time, but a lot of people were ordering the Hawaiian pizza. Do with that what you may. Will definitely be back ti try more drinks and food. Was the perfect spot for a lively date night!

How about instead of accepting $$$ for a private event that will deny customers their reservation, they make the private event work around what is available? Terrible way of doing business, but I hope they get lots of $$$ and engagement for the privileged private event attendees.

I'm a second-generation Irish-American from New York, and St. Patrick's Day has always meant something in my family. Growing up it was about heritage, family, and a little joy. Now that I have two daughters of my own -- very Irish-looking girls who are proud of their roots -- I wanted them to experience some of that same Irish pub spirit. So on St. Patrick's Day 2025, I took them to Griffin's of Kinsale in South Pasadena. They were so excited to be there -- the decorations, the music, the feeling of a real Irish pub. For a moment I thought, this is going to be a great memory for them. We came early because it was a school night. The restaurant was busy -- which is understandable on St. Patrick's Day. I ordered three salmon dinners for my daughters and myself. The bill came to about $150. Then we waited. And waited. And waited. Over an hour and a half. During that entire time: * No one warned us the kitchen was backed up when we ordered. * No one checked on our table. * No updates. * No communication at all. Had someone simply said "Just so you know, food may take an hour or more tonight," I could have made a different decision -- especially with two kids who had school the next morning. Instead we sat downstairs watching the clock while the evening disappeared. By the end of the night my daughters -- who had been so excited walking in -- were tired, hungry, and miserable. When I asked to speak with a manager, no one came. No explanation. No apology. Restaurants get slammed on holidays. Kitchens fall behind. That happens. But ignoring a table for 90 minutes -- especially a family with children -- isn't a busy night. It's bad management. What should have been a fun St. Patrick's Day memory for my daughters turned into a long, uncomfortable evening where we felt completely invisible. For a place that trades so heavily on Irish identity and hospitality, this was about as far from hospitality as you can get. Save your $150 and celebrate St. Patrick's Day somewhere that actually wants you there. And if management would like to explain how a family ends up waiting 90 minutes with no communication, I'd genuinely be interested to hear it.

I enjoyed the novelty of those drinks but I probably would not get them again. I would be interested in trying out some of their other cocktails though.

I love The Arroyo Club! I've been quite a few times and every time, I feel right at home. It's…read moredecorated how I want my future home to look. Dark, forest green everywhere with velvet furniture and greenery hanging down from the ceiling. It's very elegant and chic. My friend and I like to go for their special burger happy hour. We get Impossible burgers and tater tots and just gab for like an hour. Their smash-burgers are so delicious, yum! My husband and I recently tried their grilled cheese and tomato soup combo, too, which we really enjoyed. Very filling. Their cocktail program has some unique flavors, which isn't always my thing. But everything I've had has been outstanding, even their mocktails. I really liked one of the new ones I had recently, which was called something like Grandma's House? I can't remember, but it was spiced and had a star anise as garnish. A bit on the pricier side, but probably because they use premium ingredients and such unique flavors combos. Love the neighborhood bar vibe. It's a welcoming little oasis in the urban jungle of Highland Park.

I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

Service: 5 stars, our server Kiana was outstanding. I troubled her for a glass of ice, she…read morebrought me a glass of ice and filled it with water for me and said I filled it with water for you! She read my mind and knew without me saying. They serve lukewarm water and the a/c was on but was not on ..if u catch my drift. The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .

We were here for a work event and had a few cocktails, and it was such an enjoyable experience. If you're staying on the property, this is absolutely worth stopping by for a couple of drinks. Great views, friendly people, and an easy walk from your room.

Because this is a hotel bar since it's situated in The Langham 5-star luxury hotel, the drinks are expensive like $25 starting. One of my friends got a lemon-based mocktail (pretty good) and I got Cosmopolitan-type cocktail with Prosecco (pretty solid and not overly sweet, just not one of the best cocktails I tried). Another friend ordered Negroni, which is a potent cocktail with a bitter sharp, dry aftertaste. I could hardly taste any hint of sweetness in the drink. My friend thought it was too bitter, too. Honestly, for me it tastes just as bitter as a Manhattan, probably because both cocktails incorporate sweet vermouth. 3 stars for the poor customer service and wait time for standing in line to order drinks. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and they were rushing but also seemed like they weren't efficiently helping customers with drinks in a timely manner. The lounge area was meh (super limited seat spots) and the vibes were bland despite coming here on New Year's Eve. Definitely an older demographic that frequents this bar, not that it's a bad thing, just not our vibe since it would've been more fun if there other people closer to our age, so we decided to bar hop elsewhere after.

Parking is pretty easy because there is a parking lot that is free right around the corner. I believe it's Mentor -- or if you just drive a block or two away there's free residential parking. It's hit or miss if you find parking on Mission. But the Mission District of South Pasadena is historic and fun to walk around. The staff was incredibly attentive and you could tell very committed to their food and wine program. The patio outside really nice. We were able to walk in at 5:30 and eat at the bar-- and they could not have been more accommodating, even though we did not have reservations. Sitting at the bar given that it's an open kitchen we could see the commitment to made to order food and it's the type of place that if anyone did have an issue with their meal, I am sure they would rectify it. They let me try sips of the wine before I bought a glass. And the front of the house was very warm. We live in the Garvanza area of NE Los Angeles and we will definitely be back.

Delicious food, attentive service, and lovely ambiance…read more We made a reservation for a Fri night dinner and were seated promptly.
