Cleo Los Angeles

Cleo is on Vine Street, a twenty-minute walk from Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills Gardens Park. It serves Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and seafood in a room that runs smart.

The restaurant favors a theatrical, dimly lit aesthetic that makes it feel worlds apart from the daytime bustle of the nearby landmarks. While those sites demand a certain level of composed, polished endurance from diners, Cleo leans into a darker, more indulgent energy. It acts as a necessary antidote to the sterility that defines much of the surrounding area, offering a menu that prioritizes volume and shared plates over the reserved, quiet dining typical of the district. It is better suited for a long, late dinner than for a quick stop during a day of shopping.
