Looking for a place to bring that special someone in your life? Here are a few suggestions based on personal experience of restaurants that will leave a great impression on your date and of you.

L.A. Prime Steakhouse/BonaVista

Located in the famous Westin Bonaventure Hotel, this steakhouse and cocktail lounge feature spectacular, panoramic metropolitan views of Los Angeles. If you want to impress your date, take them to the steakhouse where the view, food, and pricing (the entrees here are priced $30+) will wow them. If you are on a casual date, take them to the cocktail lounge which actually revolves 360 degrees giving you different views of the city. Both establishments are located on the 34^th floor of the hotel on 404 South Figueroa Street in the city of Los Angeles, California (zip code 90071). The L.A. Prime Steakhouse is open from Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM and Friday and Saturday from 5:30 PM to 11:00 PM. The BonaVista cocktail lounge is open from 5 PM to 1 AM daily.

Saffron at the Walker House

Originally built in1886, this house turned into eating establishment is a quaint Victorian style place perfect for a nice, sit-down romantic lunch or dinner. I have been there for dinner and the atmosphere is very peaceful and the service personnel are very courteous. Although their menu selection is a bit on the sparse side, they do offer special entrees such as Buttermilk Crackling Chicken Sandwiches (lunch) and Rack of Lamb (dinner). The price ranges from $3- $30. At times art galleries and events are held on the 2^nd floor for visitors. The restaurant is located on 121 North San Dimas Avenue in the city of San Dimas, California (zip code 91773). They are open for lunch on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM, dinner on Tuesdays through Sundays from 5 PM to 9 PM , and they are also open for Sunday brunch from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Cannon's Seafood Grill

Situated on a cliff and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this establishment offers a more casual setting, but is still very romantic. With an amazing view of the harbor, beach shore, and even nightlights, this place is easy on the eyes and your wallet. Dishes here range from $11-$28 and are very delicious. This is a place where you can bring a first date or a reoccurring one and the experience will never grow old. The restaurant is located on 34344 Street of the Green Lantern in the city of Dana Point, California (zip code 92629). They open at 5 PM daily for dinner and they also offer Sunday brunch. I would highly recommend getting there right before sunset so you can see the transition from day to night over the harbor - breathtaking and romantic.
