“We had an extraordinary meal. Each dish was fantastic. And what made the whole experience even better was the heartfelt and generous service by our waitress Janet, deeply knowledgeable assistant Diego and the true star of the bar Lisa! Can’t wait to be back to try the whole Mediterranean menu!! Highest marks. Unforgettable dinner. Strongly recommend!”
“The food was so good. We went with a group of 4 people. We split one of the shared mezze dishes and then had the octopus. But honestly the lazy Susan of mezzes was more than enough food!! The pita bread was also phenomenal. I got the drink that had lavender and honey in it, SO delightful. Fairly expensive so just be mentally prepared for that too.”
“This place is delicious and worth parking struggles. The serving staff has always been kind and friendly. All 3 times I’ve been, the server Diego is working harder than anyone and he seems to be very proud of his job and the food. He is so sweet and on the ball-I look forward to seeing him next time :) Shrimp, flatbread, and babaghanoush are a must! The olive oil cake is great if you like rosemary!”
“We had such a fabulous evening at Ladyhawk in West Hollywood. The atmosphere is effortlessly chic — stylish without feeling overdone — and it sets the perfect tone for a relaxed yet elevated dining experience. The wait staff truly made the night special: warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The drinks were outstanding. I especially loved that the sweetness level was perfectly balanced — not overpowering, just right. We were told all the syrups are made in-house and prepared fresh daily, which made total sense because every sip tasted vibrant and thoughtfully crafted. For appetizers, we ordered the zaatar ganoush, octopus, and muhammara — and honestly, every single dish was a hit. The zaatar bread with zhoug was absolutely spectacular. Fresh, flavorful, and addictive. The muhammara had the perfect balance of walnuts with just the right touch of sweetness. The octopus was beautifully charred — tender inside with that perfect smoky finish. For mains, we shared the whole fish with a salad, and it was cooked to perfection — crispy on the outside, moist and flaky inside, with superb, well-layered flavors. We ended the night with the olive oil cake, which was perfectly moist and the ideal sweet finish to the meal. Safe to say, after this dinner, zhoug has officially become my new favorite condiment. We’ll definitely be back.”
“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.”
