    We had a great birthday celebration at The Front Yard and enjoyed the food and the drinks. Our server was always available and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the Flank Steak, Brussels Sprouts and Garlic Broccoli Flat Bread. The parking is easy and they validate so there is no charge. All went very well!

    quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles
