For the perfect date on Valentine’s Day, you need more than just some great food and wine! The atmosphere of the restaurant needs to induce the right mood. Thankfully, there are a number of wonderful restaurants in Los Angeles with ambiance more romantic than a candlelit dinner. Here are the five restaurants in Los Angeles with the best ambiance for your perfect date!
