The steak was very shredded and almost stringy, and it didn't have the texture or overall quality I remember from previous visits. Looking at it, it almost felt more like shredded pot roast than the steak sandwich I was expecting. The flavor wasn't necessarily bad, but the meat and texture completely changed the sandwich for me. The fries were good and I still like Granville overall, but when you order something you've enjoyed before, you definitely notice when it comes out different. Hopefully this was just an off day, because this one unfortunately missed the mark for me.

Seated immediately. PARKING Can you believe FREE parking in LA?! Behind the restaurant there's a small reserved parking area for this restaurant only. INSIDE Inside was clean with plenty of seating. Clean bathrooms as well! COMPLIMENTARY Server started us off with home made chips and salsa :). YUM FOOD We tried the octopus taco, short rib, Baja fish taco, and the ribeye taco. All the ingredients on every taco were cooked to perfection with fresh tomato's, guac, and onions. SALSA SIDE LOVE that they offered their complimentary home made salsas on the side we could try. The mango chili salsa was delicious. There's also a habanero and Tabasco salsa. Will be back to try their ceviche, thanks Dos Amantes!!

It was served with a flavorful sauce that did not overwhelm the delicate taste of the fish. It came with tortillas, rice and beans and was enough for 2 meals for me. My partner had the chicken quesadillas which were also good. The tortillas are all hand made and you can taste the difference. The interior is inviting and comfortable, and the service was enthusiastic and friendly. Unfortunately they do not yet have their liquor license so the place was pretty quiet.

It was a retro style building that was a lot bigger than I expected inside. I came at 4:30pm right as they were opening and it filled up quickly. ========= THE FOOD ========= ~ 1/2 LOBSTER ROLL (hot) -- They have a chilled lobster roll but when I asked the bartender her preference she said the hot is better. Small but packed with plump succulent lobster. Butter-basked the texture is sooo good. 4 solid bites of heaven. Bun is a little cracker-like in terms of bread (10/10) ~ HOOK SLIDER (burger) -- The smaller version of their $25 Hook Burger... the gigantic slider (bigger than a cheeseburger at most places) was heavenly. One of the best burgers I've ever had. A+ It was topped with a 4yr old aged white cheddar, pickles, caramelized onions, lettuce and Thousand Island. (10/10) ~ MUSSELS -- Soft texture, full of flavor. Slight bitter mussel taste. Good but prob wouldn't get again. (4/5) ~ CALAMARI -- Small, crispy... juicy on the inside but the breading lacks flavor and seasoning. The cocktail sauce and aioli helps but doesn't save it. Wouldn't order again. (3/5) ======= SAUCEY ======= ~ SAFFRON AOILI -- Looks lemony, was a garlic aioli w/Saffron, great for seafood, full of flavor. (5/5) ~ COCKTAIL SAUCE -- lil bit ketchup, a lil bit spicy. (4/5) ~ ORANGE SAUCE -- "Figueroa Sauce" I thought it was a spicy mayo or chipotle mayo. Was a bit tangy, not bad. (3/5) ============ NEEDED 2 TRY =============== Too late now but... ~ LOBSTER MAYO -- House-made, contains Katsuoboshi - Bonito Flakes, does not contain Lobster. $1 ~ FIGARO SAUCE -- House-made sauce blend of Hollandaise & Marinara. $1 ~ CLAM CHOWDER TRIO ========== IN CLOSING ========== I'd been wanting to come for nearly a decade and finally did it. It lived up to the hype of all my friends over the years that raved about it especially Alexis P. It's a shame the owners were ready to retire and robbed us of this gem but I'm happy they get to sit back and enjoy post retirement life as they well deserve after treating Angelenos to this delicacy the past 15+ years. Cheers to Connie and Ted.

There's a lot on the menu, but there are only a few things that really stand out. Unfortunately not everything is wonderful on the menu. The drinks are 5/10 they are not very generous with them since they are in such small glasses - this was another negative. Overall, this is a mediocre restaurant that tries to help you think they're going over and beyond for you, but they're really not far better places to eat on the west side and this would not be one of them we room set up that makes the ambience not that comfortable.

I would recommend asking your server to give you a run down of the fish market before making any decisions on the menu. Fish are sold by the pound and imported daily from all over the world. All fish are served deboned and they told us that the recommendation is about one pound per person. If I could do it over again, I would limit the sides because we loaded up on appetizers which filled us up. After a visit to the fish market, we ended up with the fagri and dover sole. The fagri is a great white fish and was cooked in a lemon butter sauce. The dover sole was lightly breaded and fried which made for a good balance between the two fish. As far as apps go, I would highly recommend the avra chips. I can see why these are a must order and you can easily down them. The tzatziki sauce is a must. The fish soup was great as well, the perfect warm up to the main event. I can definitely see myself coming here for more special occasions.

Even the simple Coke Zero felt crisp and refreshing alongside the food. The standout was the filet mignon, ordered medium rare with onion and garlic. It arrived tender and juicy, with a beautifully seared exterior and deep, savory flavor. Golden, crisp potato fries provided the perfect accompaniment, while the spinach and mushrooms brought earthy, buttery richness to the plate. The meal was satisfying without feeling overwhelming, leaving us comfortably full. Dessert continued the strong showing. A smooth, frothy cappuccino paired beautifully with the 16-layer chocolate cake, an intensely rich and indulgent dessert served with a cool scoop of ice cream. We also shared the coconut pie with lime sorbet, whose creamy texture and bright, tangy finish created a particularly memorable contrast. Every dish delivered, earning the meal an easy 10/10. The restaurant's atmosphere was just as distinctive. Its spacious white dining room felt elegant and open, while the glass-fronted kitchen offered a view of the action behind the scenes. One especially memorable touch came when we selected our fish: the staff brought it out for us to see before preparing it, adding a sense of theater and connection to the meal. We arrived earlier in the day, when the dining room was quiet and nearly empty, but as evening approached, the restaurant gradually filled and took on a livelier energy. With its polished service, excellent cooking, and engaging open-kitchen experience, this was a memorable dinner--and one we would gladly repeat.
