"Ladyhawk is a modern Lebanese restaurant on the ground floor of the Kimpton La Peer in West Hollywood. The colorful, Art Deco-esque dining room is strikingly beautiful and ideal for impressing somebody whose entire personality is not being impressed. Plus, the menu is full of food that even the pickiest eater at your table will enjoy. The highlight is the shareable mezze platter, which arrives on a giant lazy susan, filled with nine kinds of dips and shmears, as well as falafel and warm, pillowy pita. It’s more than enough food for two, but if you want to explore the entrees, go for the grilled prawns or olive-crusted rack of lamb." - sylvio martins, brant cox
