"Crossroads Kitchen is one of those vegan restaurants where you can take your meat-eating friends and they won’t gripe about it. Since the Mediterranean restaurant already caters to folks on a plant-based diet, it’s also great about accommodating those who are GF, too, with many swappable options on its menu like pasta, pizza, and a must-order GF mushroom calamari appetizer. Their classy dining room with red leather booths and dangling light bulb chandeliers feels like an upscale place that serves high-end steak and it’s such a popular spot with celebrities that you might get a sighting or two at its West Hollywood or Calabasas location." - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder
