Romantic

1. Firefly

Neighborhood: Studio CIty

the outdoor patio is what I loved about this place.   It's "outdoor" with a roof.  For people who love to smoke, this place is heaven.  And then there's a nice REAL outdoor mini patio that's uber romantic...

2. Spark Woodfire Grill

Neighborhood: Studio CIty

? The staff were some of the friendliest I've encountered, and I adored the atmosphere - understated wooden tables were romantically lit and complete with a view of their large pizza oven (and smiling...

3. The Stand

Neighborhood: Encino

3. The Restaurant at…

Neighborhood: Brentwood

they do have a solid selection of wine by the glass, half bottle, and full bottle at very fair prices.  My experience at the Restaurant indicates that the establishment is capable of greatness...

4. The Farm of Beverly…

Neighborhood: Beverly Hills

The cobb salad was fine but my brisket sandwich lacked good BBQ flavor.  I noticed they have a half price wine night on Wednesdays.  I'll have to try it out.  Not sure what the dinner menu looks like...

5. Spark Woodfire Grill

Neighborhood: Studio CIty

with goat cheese in the woodfire grill.   EVERYTHING was amazing.  The service was pretty good, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food.    The biggest drawback was the wine list.  I expected...
