L.A.’s Little Door Restaurant

I kind of love that the entrance (a decidedly BIG wooden door) is unmarked. Only a coolly-clad bouncer marks the entrance to swankdom. Step inside and it's a colorful world of uber-romance. Enjoy a glass of wine on the patio or winter garden (choose from 85 varieties of wine by the glass). Of the Mediterranean/Californian fare—all organic-- even the salads are drool-worthy. Though some reviewers are prone to deem it "so hip it hurts," I’d choose 4 out of 3 meals a day at this joint.
