"While we certainly don’t recommend it for new relationships, a destination date-night dinner is a great way to change things and explore a new place together. If that’s something you’re in the market for, head to Little Dom’s Seafood. Located in Carpinteria, a tiny beach town 70 miles up the 101, LDS is the second location of the Los Feliz standby Little Dom’s, and while many of the iconic dishes (the meatballs, rice balls) made the trip, it’s the new raw bar that you should primarily focus on. Oysters, uni, and a laid-back small town atmosphere - you won’t find many escapism combinations better than that." - brant cox
