The 15 Best Date Night Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"You’re currently dating someone kind of mysterious. They don’t post on social media and have vague hobbies like woodwork and geopolitics. Lean into that energy and take them to Sam’s Place. With its wood paneling, flannel curtains, and extremely low lighting, this Highland Park wine bar looks like somebody built a ‘70s-era man cave with their hands and then started pouring chilled reds. The candlelit booths are sexy and private, but not uncomfortably so. This place works for casual drinks, but if you do decide to stay for a full meal, you’ll be rewarded with an excellent bavette steak and a salami plate with cornichon butter that’ll make you wonder where cornichon butter has been all this time." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
