The 15 Best LA Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner

"If fig trees, string lights, and copious amounts of mezze are your holy trinity for glitzy birthday dinners, head immediately to Laya. This snazzy Middle Eastern restaurant in Hollywood from the Ladyhawk chef is essentially one giant patio with fire pits, an outdoor bar, and spacious banquettes designed for groups. There’s a towering white wall in the back that makes the place look like a studio lot. If you’re looking to feed a full table, prioritize appetizers like like a za’atar and goat spread with pita and roasted sweet potatoes drizzled with avocado green goddess, plus a few of the grilled skewers." - brant cox
