Inn of the Seventh Ray

Where To Eat With Your Parents In LA

"Whether your dad will ever admit it or not, he definitely smoked pot in the ’70s, loved it, and is now simply waiting for his state’s legislature to catch up to Colorado. Give him a taste of what’s to come with a jaunt up the hippie highway that is Topanga Canyon. There’s plenty to see up here, but no day trip is complete without a stop at The Inn of the Seventh Ray. Unfortunately not a peyote commune, Inn of the Seventh Ray is a stunning restaurant in the trees. It’s also far more upscale than you’d think it would be, and that’ll calm your mom’s fear of your dad trying to buy weed off the waiter." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
