3 Top Restaurants for a Romantic Evening in the Los Angeles Area

Choose your setting; the ocean view, the boulevard hideaway or the renowned historic district. All three of these fine metropolitan area establishments offer, class, charm, good taste, and the perfect atmosphere for a lovey-dovey evening out on the town.

Geoffrey's - Malibu

A pleasant drive north on Pacific Coast Highway near the end of the Malibu strip, Geoffrey's Malibu is where proposals are made. If you're not that deep into the relationship yet, you're well on your way. A fine restaurant indeed and the fresh seafood are stupendous. All table seating is outdoors; torches accompany the moon and stars for lighting, including an awe inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean to add the finishing touch. Dinner for two will cost around $120 US. Reservations are always recommended.

Señor Fred - Sherman Oaks

At Señor Fred the authentic Mexican cuisine is fabulous, ambiance is perfect, and the bartenders are mixing specialists. For a truly romantic evening, reservations are necessary for one of only two private booths. Pull the curtain, offer a toast, gaze into each others eyes over candle light and take pleasure in the moment. If no booth is available, don't fret. The entire dining area and the outdoor patio are equally alluring. The lounge area adjacent to the bar is quite lively with locals especially if a big game is on which is the case in LA usually. Cocktails, along with appetizers, and dinner will cost around $68 US. Valet parking is your best bet.

Don't miss the Zebra lounge upstairs where over 20 specialty martinis are served. Dinner for two with cocktails will cost around $70 US.
