The Hit List: New LA Restaurants To Try Right Now
"If we placed restaurants on a Dungeons and Dragons-style alignment chart, Leopardo would fall squarely under “chaotic good.” Look past the plates that all arrive at once, the cryptic menu descriptions, and the eye-rolling (but undeniably tasty) $160 breakfast waffle with caviar, and you’ll find this quirky seafood-heavy pizza spot from the original Angler chef serves some wildly delicious dishes. The crisp-skinned grilled whitefish in salty “Lord’s Water” broth is one, as is the spicy elk tartare with bone marrow and mint. Aside from a few puffy, cheese-crusted pizzas, the menu changes nightly. That doesn’t apply to the cocktail menu, thankfully—it’d be a tragedy if we couldn’t order their pickled green tomato martini after a long day of dealing with our landlord." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
