"We never thought we’d say this, but the most romantic patio in LA might be in Westwood. Violet is a big French restaurant serving expensive, fussy dishes that are pretty good across the board if you’re into the finer things. But the real attraction here is the tucked-away back patio with foliage, brick walls, and tile rooftops—it looks like a secret alleyway from the village where Beauty & The Beast takes place. We like coming here during dinnertime when the strings of bistro lights overhead make the whole space glow." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins, cathy park
