Barbrix (Silverlake)

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 9:08 3 Comments

Barbrix is one of the latest restaurants to follow the small plates trend. On a Saturday night, it was crowded, loud, and there were several parties waiting for a table. Luckily, the BF made reservations, so we didn’t have very long to wait. Our party of four was seated at a small table that [...]

LAMILL COFFEE CO.

I finally meandered over to Silver Lake to experience the much talked about coffee boutique, LAMILL (pronounced lah-mill). This is not, let me repeat NOT, your average, cater to the masses, grab your daily cup o’ Joe and go coffee shop. No ladies and gentlemen, LAMILL takes the art of coffee to a pristine new [...]

Malo - Bad Mexican, In a Good Way

Malo
4326 Sunset Blvd.
Silverlake, CA
I like Malo despite it’s many flaws. He’s rather like the super good friend you have that’s always flubbing meet-up times and inserting foot-in-mouth, but you see his goodness, so all is forgiven. Actually, wait, no - Malo is like that friend that screws up on a regular basis but looks adorable [...]

Gingergrass - That’s One Strange Salad

Thursday, October 12, 2006 16:34 3 Comments

Gingergrass
2396 Glendale
Silverlake, CA
My first impression of Gingergrass felt warm and fuzzy - I love the lofty, minimalist feel. The building feels unfinished, artsy, yet oddly comfortable.

An Evening Out to Silverlake Wine

Friday, August 18, 2006 22:09 No Comments

Oishii Eats didn’t have to twist my arm to meet her and friends at Silverlake Wine’s 2-year “Hump Day” Anniversary this past Wednesday. And I was so glad that after a full day of getting trained and ready for my new job, I went.
There’s nothing better than the sweet subtle taste of apples, pears, and [...]
