    Great meal overall. The kitchen took a little long but they gave me a courtesy appetizer which was really nice of them considering I wasnt in a rush. The restaurant has great ambiance. The honey duck was perfectly cooked. Scallops were a little too spicy but cooked perfectly. Would eat here again at a moments notice

    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.

    Wow! Everything from the bread to dessert was the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Service was also beyond outstanding. Our group was truly blown away by everything. Highly recommend starting with the zaatar bread: perfectly cooked bread with explosions of flavors. The dip/appetizer platter is a must— every single dish brought a different amazing flavor and was great to keep on the table to mix in with main dishes as they arrived. The star of the main dishes was the olive crusted lamb for us. It was full of flavor and perfectly tender. The wagyu and chicken were both also unbelievable and came with sauces that paired perfectly. The cauliflower, cabbage and carrots were all outstanding as well. We finished with the deconstructed cheesecake and milk pudding which added the perfect bite of sweetness and tart to an amazing meal. Service was incredible. Atmosphere was romantic and chic, I’ve seen a few restaurants in this spot over the years and this is the best by far. I would suggest going with a group of at least 6 people so you can order almost everything and share. My only complaint was leaving uncomfortably full!! Bravo Chef Charbel and cheers to the staff!

    We really enjoyed our experience here. The food was amazing and service was warm, friendly & helpful. We ordered the mezze platter, the skirt steak & fries - based on the LA Times recommendation.The platter had about 8 dishes including a spicy and a not spicy hummus, a roasted pepper dish, baba ghanoush, muhamara, the most wonderful light & crispy felafel, wonderful crispy potatoes. Every item was unique and delicious and best of all, healthy. The skirt steak was very good, but the fries were the best I've had - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The Mamara & Black cocktail was unusual & delicious. I loved the anise flavor. The persimmon sour was very good too. We were surprised with a wonderful passion fruit panna cotta-like birthday dessert. It was delicious. Overall we had a wonderful experience and will be back. Street parking is a plus.

    LA has lacked a modern and fancy middle eastern cuisine option for years (with the exception of Saffy’s and Bavel, but not much outside of Israeli food). Ladyhawk serves phenomenal modern Lebanese dishes with a Californian flare. The mezze platter, zaatar manoushe and olive crusted lamb are a must!
