CLEO RESTAURANT AT THE REDBURY HOTEL IN HOLLYWOOD<\/p>\n

MOROCCAN THEMED FOOD FROM MULTI RACIAL CHEF<\/p>\n

\"imgres-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HOLLYWOOD(Perfect Meal Today)10\/18\/15\/–The location is great right at the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and the 57 room\u00a0Boutique hotel is still one of the hottest spots in town to hang out. The Library bar\u00a0has a very comfortable outside lounge and patio, and Cleo Restaurant has been doing\u00a0solid business since opening day and shows no sign of slowing down. The acoustics\u00a0are not the greatest however here and it is very noisy, maybe not the spot for an\u00a0intimate first date. Despite all this there is always a long wait on the weekends.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chef at Cleo is Danny Elmaleh, and he supervises a very busy open kitchen with a wide\u00a0selection of small plates no doubt influenced by his own personal mantra. That is Moroccan,\u00a0Japanese and Israeli. Yes the food is that eclectic, with flatbreads, salads, vegan items\u00a0that really deserves to be tried. The recent Tuesday night I was there, I was with a large\u00a0group of people and the dishes kept on coming out, so this is my best effort to\u00a0describe the food tried.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are really hungry maybe start out with one of the dips like Babaganoush or the\u00a0Hummus with Tahini to get in the mood and then shoot for some of the delicacies\u00a0like Dolmades, Borek or the Spicy meat flavored cigars. Then maybe go for the Moroccan\u00a0Vegetable Tagine with Caramelized Honey, Castelvatrano and Chickpea.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cleo\u2019s uses Sonoma Lamb and it is particularly good in the Sliders ($10) that come with\u00a0Harissa Aioli, Feta and Sweet Pickled Shallots, certainly a creative combination from the\u00a0chef. The Roast Lamb dish ($15) comes with Lebaneh and Israeli Couscous, and the Lamb\u00a0Tagine ($16) comes with Apricots, Silan, Couscous and Sesame Seeds. Sticking with the\u00a0Moroccan theme I also notice they have the wonderful Duck Bastilla ($14) on the menu.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The handful of restaurants (if that) around town that serve Bastilla normally use chicken\u00a0to cut costs even though the proper way is to use pigeon, but that has never caught on\u00a0with American tastes.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Seafood selection is also very creative with Branzino served with Cauliflower Cous Cous,\u00a0Currants and Pine Nuts ($17), and how about the Farrow Island Salmon ($16) in a Tandoori\u00a0Marinade, Lentils and a Red Wine reduction. Over all this is a very exciting menu to go with\u00a0the atmosphere, so check it out for yourself, or if you already have then you know what\u00a0I am talking about.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cocktails upstairs at the Library are $15 and I went for the Hemingway Daiquiri with Bacardi\u00a0Silver, Grapefruit Juice, Lime Juice, Dark Rum and Luxardo Maraschino Liquor. This is pretty\u00a0Typical of the rather elaborate cocktails on offer such as the Dark and Manly with Makers\u00a0Mark Whiskey or the Sugar Daddy with Sapphire Gin, Hibiscus Tea Syrup, Lemon Juice and\u00a0Green Chartreuse. The wine list also looks pretty interesting, and for this food you might\u00a0want to go for the crisp Spy Glass Sauvignon Blanc 2014($11\/43) or if you prefer red the\u00a0Glen Carlou Bordeaux Blend 2010 from South Africa ($12\/45).<\/p>\n
