The 15 Best Date Night Restaurants In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Giant portions during date night never end in anyone’s favor, which means tapas works well. And this warm, energetic Spanish spot in Santa Monica serves LA's best versions. The menu spans several regions, so you can eat crumbly Galician tuna empanadas, Cantabrian anchovy toasts, and grilled Basque squid stuffed with shallots and minced scallops, with most shareable dishes falling below $15. Xuntos is the kind of place to order some food, drink a bit, then order some more, so make sure you like this person, because you’re going to be hanging out for a while. When in doubt, there’s always an icebreaker: vermouth. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
