Darling is a restaurant by celebrated chef Sean Brock that blends upscale live-fire cooking with a hi-fi lounge ambiance. The space features a custom wood-fired grill that infuses seafood, vegetables, and meats with citrus, oak, and almond-wood smoke. The interior also draws attention with its striking design: raw walnut, birch plywood, ceramic tile, and a 23-foot mural by artist Narsiso Martinez depicting California farmworkers.
For guests traveling with four-legged companions, Darling offers dog-friendly patio seating where pups can join you while you dine outdoors. This makes it a great pick for a dog-travel website because your furry friend won’t have to wait in the car or miss out—you can sit together on the patio and enjoy the fresh West Hollywood air. The outdoor seating area provides a comfortable and welcoming space for dogs.
Dining at Darling offers more than just dog-friendly seating—the rotating seasonal menu features standout dishes such as grilled bone-in strip steak, shellfish, and inventive vegetable-centric starters. Cocktails are crafted by the restaurant’s bar team and pair beautifully with the lounge’s vinyl-spin ambiance. For a dog-friendly outing, consider arriving early to secure a shaded patio spot and bring a leash or a favorite toy to help your dog relax while you enjoy your meal.
