Matt "Mattyshack" M.'s Profile

Just visited Summers Estate and really enjoyed the experience. Joined their wine club too! Their wines are an excellent value compared to all the overpriced choices in Napa. And they have a Charbono. If you've never tried this wine, it's a must!

Naya's Spacecraft designed interior is more than just great looks, Chef Imram Ali Mookhi's take on modern Indian cuisine is unexpected and inspiring. Naya, "new" in Hindu, is Silvelake's new cuisine steeped in tradition with a twist, fresh local California ingredients. On one side, Naya Lounge. A dark and moody gothic inspired bar, serving up some inventive cocktails, like their popular Spa in Goa with Don Julio Blanco, lime juice, agave, jalapeno and cucumber. The cocktails are sweet, and I suppose some people don't like to taste their booze, but I do. Take a seat under a dark enclave with co-workers or friends and order up some small plates like spiced peanuts, samosas, lamb kabobs, naan pizzas, and of course an Indian twist on the classic slider.

After a couple of drinks and light snacks, walk through the large doors to Naya Sunset. A wonderfully designed dining room with billowing lace curtains hanging from the ceilings.White leather banquettes and blood red accents line the walls. We got to sample nearly the entire menu. This isn't your typical Indian restaurant, from the cumin and coriander dusted seared tuna with creamy avocado to the succulent Butter Chicken Masala made with a delicate game hen. Silverlake residents will also welcome the vegan friendly menu. Small bites run from $5-7 and entrees run $15-$26.

They have a private dining area that can accommodate up to 50 people for your next holiday party and an 800 square foot patio, replete with fireplaces and lush landscaping.

I've worked with Angela on several weddings lately and she is one of the best planners I have seen. The vendors that work with her are always super impressed by how professional and organized she is. The brides don't have to worry about a thing on their wedding day. Whether it's day of, month of, or year of... I highly recommend her.

Love those Four Brix Wines and their new tasting room is awesome. You would never guess something so relaxing and fun can be located in a commercial park like this! My favorite wines are always changing but last time I was in, the Zeductive was my favorite, Scosso is a close second. They just keep getting better every year.

Simply one of the best burgers in Los Angeles. Try the off menu cheesy tots. Service is always great. Nice beers (and some wine) on the menu too.

Yeah, this place is great. Had a few items from their happy hour menu last night and they were fantastic. Family owned business, great service, fun staff, unique food and some standard fair for your friends who just want a burger. Coming back for sure.

The staff here is very friendly and professional. I've been coming here for years, and while it's always under crappy conditions. Because, hey, who wants to deal with a flat tire. They are always very helpful, honest and friendly.

There's no shortage of places to get a burger in Hollywood. Lucky Devils, Umami, Juicy Burger, Stout, just to name a very few of them. GO Burger is the newest. The highly anticipated location of it's East Coast counterpart opened on Sunset and Vine a few months ago, joining Bodega Wine Bar, Tender Greens and Chipotle in the newly remodeled tower. So what makes this burger joint any different than the rest? For starters, for those headed to a show or concert in the area, it's a much quicker option than waiting for a seat at Umami or being squeezed into a crowded bar seat for sub-par service at the Bowery. Plus they've got a good selection of beer and of course those spiked milkshakes.

Being adults, we can have our cocktail, and milkshake too. Like the Double Barrel with Elijah Craig Bourbon, Virgil's Root Beer, and Vanilla Ice Cream. Or the perfect summer time concoction, South of the Border with Tanteo Jalapeño Tequila, Gruet Sparkling Wine, and Lime Sorbet.

But the food shines here too. Is it the most amazing burger you've ever had? Well no, but they've got a good selection of burgers made with a juicy blend of sirloin, short rib, chuck and brisket. Gorge on the UltiMELT, a burger wrapped between two slender rye & gruyere grilled cheese sandwiches or our favorite, the Smashed Burger, with a griddled hand smashed burger studded with onions and topped with american cheese. Throw in an order of duck fat fries, and you'll forget all about that bad movie you just saw. If you feel tempted to try the $18 prime steakhouse burger, well... stick with the $10 smashed burger and you'll be just fine. Other dishes like Fish & Chips, Corned Beef Rueben, "C Cubed", Fish Tacos, Veggie Falafel, or salads will fullfill the needs of those who, for some reason, don't want a burger.

What a great studio! David at Melody Maker Productions is truly talented. I've been a big fan of his music over the years and his studio really is a culmination of all his hard work. Not to mention he's a great guy and works harder than anyone I know.

So called urgent care, 3 hours and we still haven't seen a doctor. I actually feel dirty after visiting this hospital.  Aren't hospitals suppose to be clean? There were hairs on the wall in the ER, the bathrooms were filthy, and the doctor definitely didn't know what he was doing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSPITAL.
