Cleo is a Middle Eastern/Mediterranean tapas restaurant inside the Redbury Hotel by the SBE group. Let's get on to the drinks and food...
--DRINKS--
The bartenders at Cleo know how to make awesome drinks. The drinks were had a good balanced flavors and alcohol.
01. HONEY CITRUS SIDECAR ($14) - 5 stars, my fav, a must order
Jack Daniels Whiskey, Cointreau, Crushed Mint, Yuzu Juice, Agave Nectar
Complex sweet and sour flavors with a kick of whiskey. Love it!
--FOOD--
01. HUMMUS DIP ($6) - 4 stars
with Tahini, a sesame paste. The hummus was slightly tart and nutty. It tasted good.
02. YOGURT & CUCUMBER DIP ($6) - 5 stars, a must order
The yogurt tastes so good. It's not too thick or tart. One of the best yogurts ever!
The lavash flatbread served with the dips are served warm from the oven. It's a medium thick flatbread and can be filling, so don't eat too much unless you're hungry.
03. BEEF KEBAB ($6) - 4 stars, must order
One skewer of tender and flavorful beef for an order. I wish it came with 2 skewers for $6 instead of one.
04. SEASONAL MUSHROOM FLATBREAD ($14) - 4 stars
Topped with gruyere and wilted arugula was also tasty.
05. CHICKEN TAGINE ($16) - 4.5 stars
Moist and tender chicken served in a cast iron dish with preserved lemon, almonds, olives, roasted tomatoes and saffron rice. Super tasty eating everything together.
This place has it all: great food, craft cocktails, quality service and a hip-cool ambiance. Hollywood generally does not have many quality restaurants, but Cleo is one of the few good restos and I'll be back when I'm in the area.
P.S. Another good resto is Wood & Vine in this area.
