Ladyhawk

Tucked inside the Kimpton La Peer hotel in West Hollywood, Ladyhawk defies the typical hotel restaurant stereotype. While the dining room has that polished, generically attractive aesthetic common to hotel lobbies, there’s something refreshingly different happening in the kitchen. This modern Lebanese spot brings genuine culinary excitement to a neighborhood that can always use more Mediterranean flavors.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the mezze platter. This impressive $110 spread arrives on a giant wooden lazy susan loaded with six different dips including dual hummus varieties, smoky matbucha, nutty muhammara, tangy garlic labneh, and silky baba ghanouj. Add in crispy falafel, roasted potatoes, various olives, and stacks of pillowy pita bread, and you’ve got a complete feast for two. It’s the kind of dish that makes you look like you know what you’re doing when you’re dining with clients or trying to impress a date.

Beyond the mezze, the wood grill turns out excellent proteins, with the whole dorade being a particular standout. The flaky white fish gets coated in bright, spicy zhoug and pickled jalapeños—a winning combination that pairs beautifully with the restaurant’s thoughtfully crafted cocktails. The bar program leans into Lebanese flavors with drinks featuring cardamom, chamomile honey, and arak razzouk, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the experience.

Whether you’re staying at the hotel, meeting someone for business drinks, or simply looking for a reliable spot to share good food in WeHo, Ladyhawk delivers. It’s the rare hotel restaurant where you can walk out feeling clever about your choice rather than settling for convenience.
