The Local Peasant in Sherman Oaks is the Ventura Boulevard pub that solved the tradeoff most bars force you into. Loud game bar or quiet dinner. Fast service or decent food. Kid-friendly early or adult-focused late. This room handles all of it without changing its behavior, and it has been doing it for 15 years running.The kitchen and bar operate under the same standards the founders learned running high-volume rooms in New York, then sharpened at Scopa Italian Roots and Black Market Liquor Bar. Dishes land on the menu because they hold structure and temperature on a line that never stops moving. The pork belly keeps its caramelized edge through a full rush. Wings come out with consistent heat. The pretzel arrives warm with the right chew. Fish and chips stay crisp, and fries hit the table the way fries should. 14058 Ventura Boulevard in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4 to 6 PM. Weekend brunch fills the room on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

    Excellent pasta in a busy atmosphere with friendly servers. At our last dinner, I ordered the Salmon as a main course instead of my usual pasta dish, and it was excellent too! Make a reservation for sure.

    I love The Valley Inn and return there frequently for an early dinner. There is always street parking available. I always make a reservation and enjoy the comfort and privacy of the booths and the professionalism of the servers. The martinis can't be beat, and the food is always reliable. The menu is full of comfort food favorites like chicken marsala, wedge salad with blue cheese dressing, classic onion soup, and coconut crusted shrimp. Their seafood is always fresh and perfectly prepared, and though it's gotten expensive, the beef if also great and perfectly cooked to order. Salads are fresh and vegetables are never over cooked. There's something for everyone, and I can always find something I want at The Valley Inn. Portions are healthy and I usually take home leftovers.

    A gem - lovely patio for outdoor dining, delicious food, great service. Our only (mild) criticism was the saucer for the artichoke hearts was a bit too salty but everything else was delicious. We’ll be back!
