Granville brings a broad American menu to Ventura Blvd

Granville is a California-based local chain on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, and it earns its 4.6 stars across nearly 1,900 reviews by doing something simple well: a big American menu in a bright, easygoing room with patio seating and no attitude.

The menu is wide enough that a mixed group, the kind where one person wants brunch and another wants something more substantial, can usually all land somewhere. Breakfast, brunch, cocktails, wine, and beer are all on the table, which makes it flexible across the day. The setting is relaxed and sun-soaked, good for a weekday lunch or a low-key weekend dinner without much planning.

It takes reservations, which is worth knowing on a busy weekend, and takeout and delivery are available if you just want the food at home. For a neighborhood spot that works for groups and does not require a special occasion, Granville earns its place on the Ventura Blvd rotation.
