    First time dining at Grana and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Seven of us enjoyed a family holiday brunch - excellent food served so professionally. Holiday ambiance was elegant and picturesque. Our server even provided us with a little history lesson about the building and the paintings adorning the walls. We all agreed that we would return next holiday season for the family brunch, if not sooner!

    For drinks, we ordered hot toddies - they were perfectly lemony and spicy for this freezing winter day. For food, we ordered buttermilk biscuits, a west-coast style omelette, and a brisket hash - all the food came out hot and delicious. Both plates came with home fries, and they are top notch here. Will definitely be back again!

    My first time trying this place and I will for sure be back! The atmosphere is one of a kind and the menu is very varied. The only thing I will advise is to be aware of the time limit, due to it being a smaller restaurant you only have a certain amount of time depending on party size.
