Delilah

Delilah Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: Art Deco-themed Delilah is undeniably a beautiful spot in West Hollywood. Modern décor hearkens back to Hollywood’s golden era. Plush banquettes are softly illuminated by dripping chandeliers, globe lanterns and candlelight, creating a romantic, Gatsby-esque vibe. Weekends are a scene (velvet ropes and all) so reservations are essential. Lithe models and celebs are often spotted. The sleek bar is a perfect spot to sip a sophisticated cocktail of gin, Chartreuse and verbena-infused Lillet. Outdoor dining is available.

• Discover why Delilah called one of their cocktails the "Millionaire Martini."

Likes: the décor; ahi tuna tartare with avocado and radish.
Dislikes: can get noisy.

Drinks & Food: Wines are select, and the rather startling Champagne list abounds with large format bottles (including a Methuselah of Dom Pérignon Rosé Gold for $150,000 --- 6 liters of pricy bubbles). Luxe supper club fare offers standards such as steaks, chops and seafood, but some standouts shouldn’t be missed: ahi tuna tartare with avocado and radish; grilled baby artichokes with lemon aïoli; a velvety carrot soufflé that uses the original Chasen’s recipe; and most certainly Tony’s famous baby-back ribs, which surprisingly may be some of the best barbecue in LA. (There's a great burger for night owls, too.) Carrot cake with coconut cream cheese frosting is a fine end to a meal. Service is professional.
