The 15 Best Date Night Restaurants In Los Angeles

"You got through the awkward first date unscathed. Time to go to the Georgian Room and assess how serious it could get.

A crooner sings big band covers in the corner, martinis land on every table, and hulking cuts of meat arrive spot-on medium-rare. Every table is filled with martinis. You’ll have to find a mysterious doorbell and place a privacy sticker over your phone camera to get in, which is a little much, but tonight is high stakes, so the extra effort is warranted.
