Inspired by “the casual sophistication that defines a lake house weekend” per a press release, Summer House is open for breakfast, lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner. The dinner menu focuses on live-fire cooking, with items like a wood-grilled whole fish, caramelized scallops, and steaks, while brunch has more eggy dishes (breakfast sandwich, steak and eggs), as well as ricotta pancakes and pozole. Executive Chef Jeffrey Hundelt was previously at Launderette and casual spot Fresa’s Chicken al Carbon.

This gorgeous outdoor amphitheatre has been hosting concerts since the LA Philharmonic first played here in 1922.

Los Angeles may have great weather throughout the year, but summer is arguably the best season in Los Angeles.
