They’re crispy, flavorful, and unlike any brussel sprouts your mom has ever made for you. You have never had a vegetable that tasted this good.
If you, like me, love to try a little bit of everything, make sure you attend with someone who doesn’t have sharing issues, way more fun! If you’ve been to Cleo, or have heard about Cleo, you’ve likely heard “Cleo… brussel sprouts!!” somewhere in a sentence together.
My favorite thing about the menu/food is that the portions are tapas inspired all the items are relatively small and very good for sharing. First things first, once you are seated they bring you hot pita bread that is to die for, and it will keep coming throughout your meal. As you gander the menu you may feel overwhelmed with what to order as the menu is extensive, but if you are familiar with Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food you may be overwhelmed with joy once you discover just how authentic all their dishes are. It’s a Middle Eastern restaurant with and old Hollywood glam flair that goes for the food and the decor. Turned out it couldn’t have been any further from a disappointment, it was pure perfection.Ĭleo is located inside the Redbury Hotel, and already from the outside you get a sense that you will be walking in to a dark, sexy, cool vibe. Knowing that Cleo was part of the luxury powerhouse that is SBE was the cherry on top, I knew it would be hard to disappoint. A friend of mine at work suggested we try Cleo as it was relatively upscale, in pretty close proximity to their hotel, and they served a modern take on Mediterranean cuisine: aka me, my uncle, and my aunts favorite. This clearly meant I was stressed, uncomfortable, and forced to think outside the Westside box. As much as it would have been my preference to shield them from the sh*t show that is Hollywood Blvd, they were staying at the Renaissance right there at Hollywood and Highland. During my first few months at my job on Hollywood Blvd, my aunt and uncle were coming in to town to visit and were staying in Hollywood. Yes, despite being in the middle of the worst part of Hollywood this is one of the special cases where it doesn’t even matter. It’s hiding in a hotel named the Redbury, and she’s a true Hollywood gem.Ĭleo actually happens to be one of my favorite restaurants in all of LA. But between tourists with no common sense, terrible excuses for character impersonators, excessive road closures, bomb threats on a regular basis, and stressing out trying to avoid “rappers” with CDs to sell, there is some good in Hollywood. While there is currently no official word as to when the BALMUDA Phone looks to hit the market throughout the States, it is currently available in Japan for $919.I’ve always been a little bitter towards the “Hollywood proper” area, after working 2 years on Hollywood Blvd in the thick of that hot mess I have to admit I found myself despising Hollywood as a whole at quite an alarming pace. Similar to the common market smartphone, however, is its water-resistant capabilities, with the BALMUDA Phone providing IPX4 water resistance to ensure its durability.Ĭoming off of over 80 design mockups, it’s refreshing to see what BALMUDA ultimately managed to make out of them. On top of that, it features some noteworthy tech specs from a photography perspective, housing a 48-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera, going to show that people don’t necessarily need the largest phone around to snap some quality photos.
