Ladyhawk is an upscale vibe in an upscale hotel, in the heart of West Hollywood, and it's quietly a phenomenal place to have a mini appetizer cocktail mixer, to celebrate friends. We've been here for dinner, but I almost prefer coming just for cocktails and apps. The appetizers are the star of this restaurant, (even though the meats are pretty incredible). And the cocktails are phenomenal - the bartenders are so personable and observant, they really make you want to come back more often. I'd recommend having a cocktail and a few appetizers here, don't get too stuffed - and then go out afterwards. read more

Beautiful hotel and excellent restaurant! They have a good happy hour as well with food and drinks and is worth checking out. The space is classy and the service is very professional. Our group was pleasantly surprised overall and enjoyed each of our dishes. The Mezze platter is wonderful to share and has classic Middle Eastern flavors. We really enjoyed the Olive Oil Cake too and was also very shareable. read more

Located inside the Kimpton La Peer, you will find Ladyhawk which is truly such a nice resteraunt. We were staying for the weekend for weho pride and saw the hotel had a Mediterranean resteraunt so we had to check it out for dinner. Service was on point here, from the hostess to the server and the table waiters, it was really great service. Menus had a nice variety which we appreciated. We decided to get a few appetizers and a round of cocktails. We tried the Za'tar Man'oushe and the mini mezze. They were both fantastic. The quality of the food was superb here. Then we found out the owener of the resteraunt won top chef so I can defenitly see why this place was so good. The cocktails we ordered were also so good! Overall, I will defenitly be back again. Honestly would have to rate my experience a 9 out of 10. Defenitly if your in the area, check them out! Thanks Ladyhawk for the great dinner, till next time. read more

This restaurant is high energy, lots of friend groups sharing plates! We arrived hungry and fully overdid it. We tried hummus, carrots, shrimp, tabbouleh, octopus and potatoes. Yes there were only 4 of us haha - note that we did not stop there. Favorites from this for me were the carrots and shrimp and hummus was sooo creamy. The homemade pita arrives fresh and burning hot and the crudite was crisp and fresh. We also had the Za'atar Man'oushe which was pure heaven. The chicken with garlic sauce was heaven as well. Only the Wagyu was meh. We wished we got the whole fish. We were gluttons and overall impressed with the vibe, the food and the service too! read more

Ladyhawk - Za'atar Man'oushe - Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I came here with my friend for dinner, and I'm so happy that we went. I'd first heard about Ladyhawk from Top Chef, the chef/owner having been a participant. The restaurant is in the La Peer hotel in West Hollywood. Immediately walking into the space, the ambiance is just beautiful. It felt spacious and warm. You feel welcome which isn't always the case when you try nicer restaurants. Just a heads up. It's West Hollywood, so parking can be a pain. We split several dishes among us. Beetroot hummus: This was my favorite dish of the evening. Beets can be sweet, but the hummus also had dill and tahini to make this a sweet and savory dish. Babaghanouj: We devoured this dish. It was so good, especially on pita. Fattoush: The dish itself was delightful, and was a nice addition to our carb heavy meal. Octopus: I believe our server mentioned that the octopus is marinated for 2 days, and then grilled over a bed of crispy potatoes. This was my other favorite dish, though I wish we had ordered it earlier in the meal since I was pretty full by the end of the meal. I would 10/10 recommend that everyone try Ladyhawk. The food, the service, the atmosphere. It doesn't get much better. read more

First of all, the Hotel LaPeer, where Ladyhawk is located, is BEAUTIFUL. This is a great place for date night, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered: Beet Root Hummus Garlic Labneh Grilled Shrimp Octopus Batata Harra Everything was DELICIOUS. The batata harra had the most delectable potatoes. Crisp on the outside and fluffy and creamy on the inside. The texture was unreal. The grilled shrimp were HUGE. Plump, juicy and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spice. The octopus was so tender and flavorful. The beetroot hummus was smooth, creamy and the fresh baked pita could not have been better. I was so sad that the shawarma wasn't on the menu when we went. I can't wait to go back and order that. Ladyhawk is fantastic. read more

Absolutely loved the food, the friendly service and chill ambiance. Great dj aaaand fun fact - the chef won Top Chef in the Middle East read more

Who knew the Boutique pocket La Peer Hotel was tucked away on a nondescript side street in WeHo a block from the daily grind of Pubs and Clubs? Just off the Lobby Ladyhawk patiently awaits for the booths to fill and the diners to chill. A happy Hostee greets you like an old college roomie who knew all your secrets. The dining room is a long slice of muted tones and soft lighting anchored by an open buzzin' Kitchen that is larger than the one at the Pentagon. The music loop is Lebanese lite that gently sets the mood for food. The Bar: Complex and complete. Signature cocktails that will have you scratching your head and hitting Safari to find out exactly what you might be drinking. There is a substantial carefully curated Wine List with interesting and unusual choices. Taste a few before you plunge. The House will offer you a healthy pour to try and then decide. You could sample two, eat a Pita, leave a Benjie and bolt, full as a tick. The Staff: As crisp as their black uniforms. Janet, my Server, was enthusiastic, bright, personable, delightful and charming. She genuinely enjoyed caring for her guests and was committed to making sure everyone in her section had an experience that was sure to have them returning. You'll never have to ask for more water, clean plates, or extra napkins, as it all just arrives when needed without needing to snap your fingers at the passing Runner. Who's in the house? As Ladyhawk is in the LA Peer Hotel can you guess where the Concierge send guests who ask for a dining suggestion? And there are the Top Cheffies who followed Chef Charbel all the way to the final showdown. The Food: Sublime is just a choice away. There are no mistakes in this kitchen. Ladyhawk is a love poem to the Lebanon, now lost, that existed before the troubles. The cuisine here is elegant and sophisticated even if it is something familiar. Za'Atar Man'oushe is a Lebanese Pizza. Here the dough is fermented for 48 hours and served with Wild Thyme. (So, for a Wild Thyme order a Man'oush to stretch out your tummy and your tush). Little caps of creamy Herbs and Labneh like Hersey Kisses dotted the top in a pattern. The Hummus is whisked together with Bits of Roasted Beets, Chickpeas, and Tahini. It was a bowl of throbbing day glow hot pink with a sprig of fresh Dill to make it just perfect. A tickle of heat will wink at you from a distance. The Babaghanouj is charred mashed Eggplant, Tahini, Lemon, and Yogurt that also has a slow crawl of lingering spice. A sprinkle of Pomegranate Arils added a sweet crunch. The short stack of warm Pita for taking a full scoop of the dips is a blessing to your lips. The Falafel is easy to make and easier to make poorly. It's often so dried out you'd be better advised to nibble on a Hockey Puck. And a bad Falafel will make you feel awful into the bargain. These perfectly formed crispy, crunchy, herby cakes are truly Mana from Heaven. They are served with a velvety Tahini Sauce, fresh Mint Leaves, and Halved Cherry Tomatoes all of which fits neatly, well almost neatly, into your Pita. And if you don't have the Sauce all over your shirt, you're eating it wrong so dive in. These Falafel should be offered by the bucket. Tabouleh Salad with micro chopped Parsley, Mint, Tomato, Quinoa, and Lemon is definitely not first date food. You are guaranteed clingers wedged in between your implant, bridge and capped front teeth. But, it is so good it's worth making a bad impression. The Rainbow Carrots in Hot Honey, Za'Atar, Labneh and Roasted Almonds was the Home Run. Brilliant . Were there slivers of Medjool Dates mixed in? I'll bet you my last LBP there were. The Batata Harra also must be ordered. They were thrice fried cubes of Potato with Garlic, Cilantro and Chilis. It is Ladyhawk Crack. Eat all you can and then take the rest home to top with Eggs al gusto for breakfast. Finally, the Whole Dourade was magic. A spatchcocked boneless filet with dots of Zhoug (Hot Sauce), and Labneh. You can't wish for a better fish and be rewarded with one this good. Australian Wagyu Picanha Schwama with Tomato, Parsley, Tahini, and Pickled Onions in a Pita would cause a Vegan to cancel their membership in PETA. Ladyhawk...I'm gonna stalk you so keep an Eagle eye out for me. read more

We celebrated my husband's birthday here tonight. What a treat! The food is amazing. The best fattoush salad I've ever had. The wagyu shawarma was so flavorful and juicy and the dorado fish was perfectly grilled. We really enjoyed the mezze platter as well. Wonderful service, very attentive. The ambience was perfect. You can have an intimate dinner here or bring a big group of friends -- both work! We had a small intimate family birthday celebration in a beautiful setting, and it was perfect. read more

Ladyhawk - Mezze - Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Had to come to Charbel Hayek's Ladyhawk, as it is his first-ever restaurant and one of the hottest restaurants in Los Angeles! Reservations were surprisingly not too difficult to get, which can be a bit of a rarity in this city. Ordered quite a bit. For appetizers, we had the mezze platter, taboleh, za'atar man'oushe, and octopus. The standout had to be the mezze platter, which basically is every single mezze on the menu. Very authentic and perfect for our party of six people! The za'atar man'oushe was interesting as well, as it is Lebanese flatbread that is kind of like pizza. For our entrées, we had that dry-aged Rohan duck, Australian wagyu sirloin shawarma, and a whole darude. They were all good, but surprisingly my favorite had to be the darude. Lastly, we ended up having all three desserts: mango muhalabieh, strawberry cream top, and pistachio baklava. The mango muhalabieh is easily the most photogenic, but the strawberry cream top was my favorite. Service was great here! Our server was really nice and made sure that we ordered the right amount of food. And in fact, we had only ordered two desserts in the first place, but we were gifted the third dessert anyways. Appreciate it! Ambience is realy nice. Very modern looking with high ceilings. Felt very comfortable in here. Parking is a bit of a challenge since it is located in the heart of West Hollywood. It is located at the Kimpton La Peer Hotel, so street parking around here is tough. There is valet parking for $20 at the hotel as well, just let them know you're going to Ladyhawk. read more

Went here for some appetizers and drinks with friends. The cocktails were delicious and the food was alright. I think this place is just a bit expensive, so I'd save it for a special occasion. Also, they only give you 1 piece of pita bread no matter how many people there are, and each extra piece is +$6, buyers beware! read more

Beautiful dinner and setting - super tasteful aesthetic with a vibe, friendly service and great food and drinks, perfect for a group dinner. Started with the large platter - generous portions of all the dips and a stack of pita - both hummus' were great and the baba ghanoush. Nice selection and plenty for everyone (we were a group of 6) fattoush was ok - smaller if ordering to share between a larger group and didn't taste as fresh and crunchy as I would have liked, chicken and tenderloin mini skewers were both good. We also added the special bread dish which is sort of a pizza style flat bread - pretty good I thought it was a little over hyped. All the apps sounded great and would love to go back and try more, nice varied menu. Mains - we ordered the duck - lovely and crispy and sweet - good portion for sharing, the wagyu steak - loved this - juicy with a delicious sauce smear, and the crusted rack of lamb - I'm not a big fan of lamb and these were delicious - must get, perfectly cooked and seasoned with a tasty crust, for a larger group I would add a few sides to this order - maybe some veggies for the perfect order. They also have great drink and cocktail selection, quality liquor bar, desserts were unusual - liked that the menu wasn't just the standard dishes you expect. Banana milk honey tasty with coffee ice cream and the olive oil cake was my favourite, comes with a delicious tangy marmalade topping perfectly candied oranges and herbs, great. read more

Ladyhawk is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. The interior was perfect--cozy, intimate, and ideal for a date night. We started with the za'atar, which was hands down my favorite dish of the night--flavorful, fragrant, and beautifully balanced. For the main course, we had a salad and the lamb chops, both of which were excellent. The lamb was cooked to perfection, tender, and full of depth. To finish, we indulged in the chocolate espresso cake, which was rich and decadent without being overly sweet-- It was a little more floral than I would have liked. Ladyhawk delivers on all fronts--ambiance, service, and food. Can't wait to come back! Shout out to our server Jordan!! read more

I finally made it out to this restaurant and it was ok. The muhammara 4/5 and the olive oil cake 5/5 were the best things. Shwarma was ok 3/5, as were the two dine la salads and rest of the mezi platter. They also charged us $50 more than they were supposed to -5/5!!!!!! They took it off, as we were lucky enough to have checked the bill. I also saw others complaining about there bill, so BE CAREFUL! read more

Didn't have a reservation but fortunately were able to get a seat at the bar. The bar tender whipped up a nice mocktail for us. We got the mezzo platter which is a good amount of food for 2-3 people. The best dip was the muhammara. The hummus and baba were underwhelming and the olives were a bit salty. Falafels were tasty. 3.5, rounding up to 4 for ambience and our drink. read more

Great flavors! The menu has something for everyone. Loved the beetroot hummus and the man'oushe (make sure to order right away as they only have limited quantity each evening), octopus and lamb. We also had and liked the crudo, harissa chicken wings, halloumi, shrimp (the spiciness covered the taste quite a bit) and wagyu but the first items were definitely musts! I had the Dusty Rose mocktail and it's one of few actually good mocktails I've had! The olive cake with orange on top was also a great hit and awesome recommendation from our server! Great vibe but parking can be tricky, there's metered 2 hour on the street if you catch one or valet ($20). read more

This place is located in a swanky West Hollywood hotel, and the prices reflect that, but every item was tasty. I'd recommend the zaatar manoushe, falafel, and the shawarma skirt steak (I don't like steak but this was sooo good). Spicy hummus, fattoush and crudo were good but nothing special. read more

Ladyhawk - Bars Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Mediterranean cyisine is usually associated with downscale felafel joints and with few exceptions, fine dining, such as Zahav in Philadelphia that is arguably its number one restaurant. The fine dining scene in LA has morphed from classical French to Asian fusion, Italian, Japanese, and other East Asian cuisines, catching the attention of a famed French tire company Perhaps the time has come for Mediterranean cuisines to come to the fire. I have seen excellent examples of Greek, Tunisian, and Israeli cuisines invading the fine dining space; in the Middle East, Lebanese is acknowledged to be among the best. Enter Ladyhawk, a post-COVID entry located in West Hollywood in the new Kimpton Hotel welcomes you into its elegantly furnished space resplendent with plenty of booths, banquette, and other trapping of comfort and ease. The service is attentive to a fault, gladly bringing out tasters of their intense Lebanese wines, that boast a 5,000 year head start over their California equivalents. Their wood fired grill and pizza oven were out to good use for their signature pita, hot and puffed into a sphere, though a bit flatter and chewier than pitas from other countries. The accompanying mezze included some classics such as baba ghanoush and hummous. Withe some interesting riffs such as beet hummous and classic muhamarra redolent with sweet peppers and walnutes. The Shrimp were grilled over a wood fire fulfilling their promise of flavor and tenderness. Standouts were chef Hayek's Za'atar Man'oushe, with 48 hour cold fermented dough topped with the colors of the Lebanese flag, a direct homage to classic Neopolitan Margharita pizza, and the woodfired dourade, fileted and served whole with a wonderful sauce that marriued umami, piquant, and citrus flavors. Dessert was the Olive oil cake, crusty and topped with homemade marinade, which devoured even though we usually skip desserts. If you come early you can usually find meters; otherwise you can valet with the hotel. Reservations recommended. Due to the high ceilings and furnishings, noise is not overwhelming. Being in WeHo, signature cocktails are plentiful and the wine list has eclectic selections from the new, old, and ancient worlds. My only gripe is that in keeping with changing tastes and their Halal clientele, they should also expand their NA choices taking advantage of some of the excellent beets and sparkling wines out if Europe. We'll be back-hope to see you there! read more

3.5 stars - Very pretty restaurant and the food and drinks are beautifully presented. I had been curious to try this place for awhile. The issue is that for the price, the food is hit or miss and should be executed much better. You're paying Bavel prices but not the quality. Also I dont like overly sweet dishes that are supposed to be savory. Part of the problem is that we listened to the waitress' recommendations for appetizers and her recs were the worst items. We ordered the octopus because the waitress said it was the best octopus she had in her life. Well either she does not know what good octopus is or they are completely inconsistent because we all agreed it was overcooked, rubbery, and disappointing. The only thing good about the dish was the perfectly crispy potato chunks. She also raved about the crudo and it was so bland other than the overly sweet pomegranate sauce. The signature za'tar manoushe was very unique and tasty - I like the fluffy pita, it's cut up like a pizza. The za'tar and sauce flavors are very intense though so my quarter "slice" of the pita was enough. The beet hummus was good, but they give you so little pita you have to spend another $6 for 2 more pitas and it's still not enough. It basically cost $50 for a couple pitas and hummus. The rack of lamb was a touch overcooked even though we requested the recommended medium rare. I was really looking forward to the dry aged duck. I'm pretty surprised they recommended it medium and specifically asked for it to be less cooked. The breast was still a little overcooked and the leg was very dry and tough. For some reason the duck and frisee were drowning in a pool of honey sauce so no one wanted to eat the frisee. There were some items that were good enough to try again but clearly a lot of the dishes are just not my flavor profile. If you value presentation and medium or well done proteins in sweet sauce this is the place for you. read more

This is my second time coming here. Food was excellent, however service did not match quality of the food. Took about 16 mins after seated for waiter to acknowledge my party and poor a glass of water. Food was received 45 mins after order was placed. Didnt get my first cocktail till after 30 mins of being seated in a half full house. Not sure it was because it was New Years Eve, but I was irritated selecting this restaurant as my New Years Eve Dinner location. At $70.00 a plate there are plenty of other places to spend my hard earned money. And get more than pita for my hummus order. read more

Founded by Top Chef winner Chef Charbel Hayek, LadyHawk is the hottest new restaurant. This space is contemporary and elegant and so is their menu. We started off with their zaatar manoushe It was so unique and scrumptious! Their crude Was so fresh and citrusy which I love. Then came the time for the leading lady.. A rotating platter of mezzes. Hummus, labneh, batata harra and more. They each were perfectly executed and nostalgic! Chef Hayek well done!

Yes thank you! Best Mediterranean food I've had. It's the little things. I've had this food before but here...hummus is extra garlicky and perfectly smooth. Babaghanouj is just extra smoky and flavorful. Muhammara has pickled onions that cuts the richness and add acidity to the dish. Pita smells of yeasty and freshness of baked bread. Love this place! read more

Located nestled within a classy hotel, the restaurant is dimly lit and romantic. We had plenty of privacy in our seat. I was surprised by how cushy the booth seating is. The service was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our waitress gave us great descriptions and recommendations of different menu options. The pita was piping hot and fresh. The highlight of the meal was the Za'atar Man'oushe. As someone who loves texture in food, it was so satisfying - almost like a sesame type of texture. I highly recommend getting chili oil drizzled on it for a little kick. We also really loved the carrots - they were sweet served with a delicious cream sauce. My husband loved the falafel - it was packed with chickpea and perfectly shaped. My only wish is that it was served with even more tahini sauce. read more

Ladyhawk has such a cute vibe in the dining room. I wouldn't recommend sitting out in the patio during this time of the year. The hostess and the servers are great and attentive for the most part. I was slightly disappointed when one of the servers came by to take take our plates since our entrees were coming up, but she also took a plate of our appetizers that we actually consolidated without asking us. We didn't notice as we were having a serious conversation! Oooopsieee. Wish she asked us. Anyways the food overall was alright. The zaatar manaeesh, the halloumi, and the muttabal were so delicious and I would definitely recommend. We also got the chicken and the steak and they were okay. The steak did come out extra well done despite us asking for medium rare. The server and the manager however were very helpful about it and did bring out a well made medium rare steak instead. For dessert, the olive cake was delicious!!!! Definitely would recommend getting appetizers and dessert. Maybe skipping the entrees. Skip the falafel- didn't taste authentic to me and the wedge salad as it was literally a head of lettice on a plate with some dressing. read more

Went here for a low-key dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was honestly great. The octopus and fish were the standouts. Super tasty and well-cooked. Drinks, though... not so much. I tried three different cocktails and didn't really enjoy any of them. Most were heavy on gin, which made them kind of dry, and a couple were creative spins on classics, but the twists didn't really land. Service was a bit slow. We waited about 15 minutes just to get seated because the host seemed to be doing a bunch of other things. Our server was nice and tried to be attentive, but he was clearly stretched thin and it looked like he had way too many tables for a Monday night. Overall, I will say, amazing food, meh drinks, and service that needs some backup. I would not come back. read more

My review is a bit overdue as we came during the holidays. Plus, you know it's good when you think about it from time to time. The chef won 'top chef middle east' and there's a pretty good write up at LATimes with his background and places he's worked at. Definitely come with a group. The star of the night was the mezze platter, and every dish on the platter was delicious. The little plates of baba ganoush, different types of hummus, were definitely classic flavors but also had their own spin to them. We kept scooping and turning the table and we just couldn't get enough. The service was excellent, and they recommended an excellent lebanese wine as well. read more

I came on Monday! Yes they seem to now be open on Mondays even at time of writing, most websites still have them closed on Mondays. It's located in the hotel so entrance through the hotel lobby. Metered parking out front or valet. Parking can be tough in the area so allocate some time. We got seated quickly and after looking over the menu once again my friend and I decided on a few items. We were really tempted to get the mezze platter but while we were intrigued by most dips, we didn't want them all so we got the hummus and muhammara. We followed that up with some veges with the fattoush salad and the arnabit tahini and finished up with the shawarma skirt steak. Winners: Arnabit tahini - I mean it's fried cauliflower with tahini sauce so you get the soul of fried foods with the extra fat from tahini that was garlic-y so solid solid dish. OK: Fattoush salad - Overly dressed but I see promise and if it was just less dressed, it is a solid salid. The pieces of pita added the crunch, the veges were fresh and it was just overall refreshing against the other dishes that were comparatively heavy Muhammara - I had this before at another restaurant so I just had to compare and I really enjoyed it at the other restaurant. I felt this version had too much what felt like pomegranate sauce/oil and it just didn't pack the punch from the muhammara I had previously. The walnuts might have also been ground too much where you lacked the texture that adds to the dip. Meh: Shawarma Skirt Steak - The meat was overall tender but after a couple attempts, the dish continued to be come out as room temp. Like the plate could be hot, and the steak looked warmed but you take a bite and it was room temp even after them bringing it back to reheat it. I don't know what happened but at least they canceled the order which was very much appreciated I really wanted to like the restaurant after watching Top Chef. The ambiance was great, the food was decent, the service was decent - sometimes attentive and sometimes not. I am not sure and semi-let down. read more

We had a marvelous experience at Ladyhawk. The service was amazing, and our waitress was so knowledgeable of the menu and portioning everything out. We had ordered the shawarma skirt steak, tabouleh salad, the garlic labneh with a side of pita bread, tuna crudo, and an order of the shishito peppers. It was the perfect amount for 2- (hungry) people! Ambiance felt expensive and daunting. The restaurant is located inside of a hotel, as well. In terms of cocktails, we customized a few "mocktails" and called it a day. The cocktail menu didn't have too much of my liking. read more

Parking in this section of West Hollywood is competitive, and if you don't Uber or easily find a meter, I recommend you pay the $20 to valet at Ladyhawk. The host stand is inside the lobby on the left, and interestingly the bathroom is a short walk outside of the restaurant and across the lobby. We were able to get reservations a week in advance, even with how trendy Ladyhawk is. I first heard about it from Thrillist's most exciting new restaurant list for LA. I loved the ambiance inside, and we just so happened to go on a Wine Wednesday where they select two bottles to be half price, so it was bustling with a few large groups. We'd brought our own bottle of wine and they were able to decant it for us tableside, which was greatly appreciated. Chef Charbel Hayek was the winner of Top Chef Middle East and a part of Top Chef All-Stars, and our server informed us that the Za'atar Man'oushe and Ahi Tuna Crudo were two of the dishes that helped him win Top Chef, so of course we ordered both. Our server described the Za'atar Man'oushe ($19) as a bread, but it really felt like more of a pizza. The menu is a bit vague but describes it as "48 hour fermented dough, wild thyme, olive oil, tomatoes, herbs, labneh" and we were surprised and impressed by the presentation when it arrived, although we weren't blown away by the taste - it really didn't live up to the hype, but it was interesting with cream droplets decorating the center, topped with something from a vial table side, snd it tasted very strongly of dried oregano. Under appetizers, I do recommend you share two seafood dishes: the Ahi Tuna Crudo ($25) in cubes that reminded me of watermelon, with orange blossom, charred cucumber, avocado, and citrus, as well as the Octopus ($24) with crispy potatoes, chorizo butter, and lemon relish. Unfortunately, I disliked how sweet the Grilled Maine Scallops ($27 for 3 scallops) were. I prefer scallops with a savory sauce, and these were so sweet I felt they should have been listed on the dessert menu instead. The description lists vanilla, fennel, green shatta, orange, and puffed rice, but I still wish they included Sweet in the title or description. Our server did recommend ordering the octopus instead of the scallops, and we should have listened to her advice and just ordered the octopus, but as two people who usually love scallops I didn't expect I could dislike them so much. Under salads, the Seared Halloumi Salad ($20) was a generous portion size, refreshing, and great to share - especially if you enjoy a slight bitterness to your salads. It came on a bed of arugula, radicchio, and spinach, topped with tomatoes, avocado, and sumac. If they had an option to add chicken on top, I think this would also be the perfect lunch entree. From the Mezze section, I absolutely loved the Babaghanouj ($16) charred eggplant, tahini, lemon, and yogurt. Since I'm gluten free and couldn't eat the pita, they were able to do a 50-50 split so that I could have the lettuce cups, which were perfectly fresh & crisp. We saw many tables nearby with larger groups ordering the Ladyhawk Mezze Table Platter ($110) to share, which seems worthwhile if you're a larger party because it looks giant and includes a rotating platter of mezzes with pita. From the Wood Grill, we shared the Olive Crusted Rack of Lamb ($66) as our main entree, and we loved it. When ordering, they ask how you'd like your lamb cooked, and we went with medium-rare. The cut was definitely on the fattier side, but it went perfectly with the dehydrated olives and herb crusting and side of garlic yogurt. They brought out a sharper knife for this course, which was definitely needed. The server was very friendly and I loved her personality, but unfortunately they didn't come to refill our water glasses during our two hour dinner until after we had paid the bill and I was very thirsty. read more

Amazing service - first of all, a rarity in weho to have genuinely nice and attentive service. The food was pretty good but not particularly mind blowing in entirety. We ordered the halloumi, babaganoush, carrots, crudo, chicken, shrimp and pita breads. Personally I think the "half chicken" is sad and small, I'd probably would stop saying half chicken and revamp that marketing angle. And the shrimp was too cooked. They were prawns so they were massive and extra rubbery. Which made the plates- that were surprisingly too light slide too much when I was cutting it furiously the eat. But definitely carrots and crudo were standouts. Id like to come back to check out the daurade.. but tbd. read more

Excellent food, friendly service. The ONLY critique is that the server would disappear for long periods - took a long time to get a drink order in, then a long time to get our drinks and a long time to get our menus and a long time to give our order and then a long time between dishes arriving, and then a long time to get a dessert menu, etc. We were a party of six and it was a 3.5 hour meal. Appreciate they were weren't hurried to get us out of there, but there has to be a happy medium. They weren't that busy either. read more

What a delight for the palate! My favorite dish of the night was the Za'atar Man'oushe! This is the kind of dish that is last meal worthy. And paired with the Beet Root Hummus, Garlic Labneh and marinated olives it was even more dazzling. These mezze sides were spectacular! The Octopus dish was perfectly cooked and was paired with the crispiest melt in your mouth potatoes. The textures were phenomenal. Just this alone was a lot of food, and we did not leave hungry. There was a strawberry rhubarb old fashioned cocktail that smelled and tasted exactly like strawberry rhubarb. Not sure how they did it! Not only was this restaurant beautifully designed but the service was superb. A memorable anniversary meal for sure! Next time would like to try Ladyhawk with a bigger group to get the full experience. read more

Overall, this place is a great vibe with some delicious food. Unfortunately, they sat us outside under a bright tent. I was hoping to sit inside where it's darker and overall nicer. The outside is nowhere near the same vibe. The food was great. The tastes were unique and everything paired really well together. The steak was insane. It was fun to have the chef bring out one of the dishes as well. Service was slow, but our waitress was very nice. read more

I came to Ladyhawk for the first time. Food and service was amazing! Our host Janet was incredible and attentive throughout the entire dinner. Food was delicious!!! We had the mezze platter, zaatar manoush, wyagu steak, bone marrow and milk and honey ice cream. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Ladyhawk offers a variety of dishes, with some shining brightly and others falling short. The Babaganoush stands out with its smoky flavor and fluffy pita, while the Halloumi salad impresses with its local ingredients and generous portions. The Za'atar Man'oushe delights with nuanced flavors, but the carrots disappoint in blandness despite being caramelized. On a positive note, the perfectly roasted Cauliflower with creamy nut sauce leaves a lasting impression. The Fish provides smokiness and a hint of jalapeno heat, yet lacks the promised spiciness. Overall, Ladyhawk's culinary journey presents both highs and lows, indicating potential for further gastronomic refinement. In terms of service, our server was exceptional, knowledgeable about the menu yet allowing us the freedom to order what we desired. Overall, I think there is still room for improvement, due to the high price tag, I'd give it 3 stars for now. read more

This is my new favorite Mediterranean restaurant in Hollywood! I was introduced to this family style restaurant by one of my close friends and it did not disappoint. It's located inside a hotel with valet and it's very nice, perfect for a date night or celebratory dinner. If you had to order 3 things, I would recommend getting (in no particular order) these dishes: 1) Octopus Appetizer 2) Za'atar Man'oushe 3) Olive Crusted Rack of Lamb My personal favorite is the Za'atar Man'oushe! The dough was so soft and warm, and fun fact the colors represent the Lebanese flag! I also got to meet Chef Charbel (A Top Chef winner!!!) and he was so amazing and talented! Can't wait to come back and bring my family next time! read more
