Note: Cliff's Edge closed in 2020, but its space is now home to Bacari Silver Lake.
The two-level patio at Cliff's Edge, which somehow shelters itself from Sunset Boulevard at its doorstep, is its own little island in the middle of Silver Lake. In the center grows a gnarled tree that rains down miniature figs in the summer; at night, twinkling lights twist around centerpiece to light up the space. The modern American-focused menu offers plates of crispy octopus, porcini mushroom pastilla, and foie gras terrine, while the inventive cocktail list guarantees a night of satsified sipping.
