Garden Patio Dining Beneath the Trees in West Hollywood
Linger over lunch at Laurel Hardware, where a garden courtyard gives an old shopfront a softer second life.
🌿 An Old Shopfront Reimagined
Laurel Hardware gives an old shopfront a second life on Santa Monica Boulevard. Behind the industrial frontage, the restaurant has a rear garden patio, with trees rising between pale tables and brick paving underfoot.
Think of it as a slower weekend lunch, with time to notice the building between bites. Daylight filters through the branches, string lights loop around the trunks, and the room opens toward the greenery. There is a small pleasure in discovering how much of a neighborhood can sit behind one doorway.
Contemporary American dishes and craft cocktails anchor the menu. For a daytime visit, check the current weekend lunch service before setting out. The address is 7984 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.
