Hi All,

I am hosting a burger bar party for New Year's Day and I am at a loss on what side dishes to serve. Would prefer not to serve the typical potato salad or slaw. Thanks in advance!

I have not. Thanks for the rec!

NY style. Thanks so much!!!

What is the best pizza delivery on the Westside, excluding Joe's?

My parents are coming in town next week and we are looking to go to a great restaurant in Brentwood, WLA, Santa Monica, Venice, etc... on Thursday evening. In the past they have enjoyed Lucques and Vicente. The only restriction is noise--looking for a place that is more on the quiet side so that we can have a conversation. Thought about Rustic Canyon and FIG (have not been to Fig), but would really appreciate some other suggestions. Thanks!

We will have a car. Any location will be fine.

Hi,

I'm in Austin for one night on Thursday and want to have dinner with four of my girlfriends. Somewhere with a good atmosphere, full bar, and excellent food. Entrees between $20-$35 ok. Looking for a place unique to Austin, but preferably not mexican.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am looking for a reasonably priced caterer for a 30th birthday/cocktail party in West LA. Looking for "fun food" items like mini burgers, soup shots, cones of fries, fun desserts, etc... Thanks in advance for your help!

Since it is nice weather try Sor Tino on Barrington just south of San Vicente--they have a nice outdoor patio and decent Italian food.

I am hosting 20 of my closest friends for my birthday in Napa. I have never been to wine country and am looking for recs on a fabulous Sat in Napa Valley--ideally we would like to visit 3-4 wineries and I would like to host a lunch somewhere in the $30/pp range. Any itinerary recs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

That sounds fabulous--and I love their wine! Do you think that the weather in November will be conducive for this type of lunch?

We are actually going in November, but I am trying to plan early.

Hello,

19 of my friends and I are headed up to wine country from LA to celebrate my birthday. We will be touring 3-4 wineries on a Saturday and I would love to host a group lunch at a winery or a restaurant in the area. I would like to keep the price around $30/pp give or take. Thanks!

Any good greek or lebanese in WLA? I am looking for hummus, kabobs,etc...

Hi All,

I have a few girlfriends coming in from out of town and we would like to go out to dinner on a Saturday night before heading out on the town. We would like a lively place with a fun atmosphere and good food. Thought about Luna Park and Cobras & Matadors (won't take a reservation for 7), but would like some other suggestions. A few have not been to LA before so maybe a unique experience would be nice.

Does anyone know where I can get soup dumplings in LA? Pref on the Westside, but will travel.

Hello!

I am looking for a place to host a fun birthday party for about 15-20 people in West LA, WeHo, etc...Food should be good (doesn't have to be fabulous), great margaritas and a good atmosphere. Need to be able to make a reservation.

Thanks in advance for the tips!

I am looking for a casual, but fun restaurant in Venice for dinner with some out of town friends tonight. Pref close to Abbot Kinney. Thanks!

Hi All,

I need a casual place to have cocktails with about 8 people with an ocean view in Santa Monica or Venice. More mid-range, not upscale like Shutters or Casa del Mar. Ocean view is a must. Thanks in advance!

My two girlfriend's and I are going to a casual dinner tonight in SM after a spa treatment. Any recs? Preferably more low key because we will be in casual attire and one friend is pregnant.

Thanks

Hello!

I am hosting a NYE cocktail party for about 25 people and want to make some Italian appetizers. Any suggestions???
