My husband and I are big fans of Aroma. The secret to truly enjoying this place is to go with the chef's specials. Nacho will tell you all about them!!! And make sure to bring in some great bottles of red from your own collection as the food here is rich. For example, try the crepe appetizer with truffles and parmesan, followed by the Ossobuco for your main course. Valentino veteran, Chef Edin Marroquin, has never let us down!

Barbarella Bar
2609 N Hyperion Ave Silver Lake, CA 90027 (323) 644-8000
I actually like this place - and I thought I wouldn't since it was everything Silver Lake didn't stand for. I was dreading the opening of the big yellow bar with the half-naked lady as its logo. Turns out it's a female owner and the waitresses are awesome - even though they have to wear those black bustiers. This place is chic and beautiful enough to take my clients to and still laid back enough to meet with friends after work. Ah - and the happy hour prices seven days make this place A-OK in my book. For example, the other night, I had 2 nice glasses of wine and a delicious ahi tuna tartare for about $20 with tip - plus I was able to get work done with a client. Good stuff.

I live in LA and frequent Mastro’s, Boa and STK. So when my friend dragged me out to her favorite new seafood and steak restaurant in Queens – at the Crowne Plaza airport hotel of all places, I said NO WAY! But somehow she convinced me to give it a chance. Well it’s a good thing I did. I was in a seafood mood that night so I started off with the lobster bisque and was so surprised at how rich and creamy it was. Next, I had the lobster ravioli which was beyond spectacular! I also had a bit of my friend’s filet mignon which was so soft and juicy, it melted in my mouth - next time I come to visit - I’m definitely ordering surf and turf! To top things off, my friend and I shared the French apple tart because we were just too full to eat much more but had to try at least one dessert. It was the best apple tart I have ever had. It was light and sweet – just a perfect way to end a scrumptious dinner.
Turns out the restaurant also offers themed nights and I hear someone from the Soprano’s is hosting a cigar night at the end of the month. Good times in Queens. I’ll be back to visit!!!
