Love is in the French fare at one of LA's most romantic restaurants, The Little Door. (Lots of marriage proposals have gone down here, so boys, if it's too early to dish out the diamond, I suggest you be armed with backup roses & chocolate instead.)
From the Mediterranean patio bar to the French country-home dining rooms, indulge your palate and your senses with a meal to remember, starting Friday Feb. 11th ($125 pp) thru Monday Feb. 14th ($150 pp includes Champagne).

(P.S. A simple picnic of their Ham & Gruyere Croissants, fabulous multi-flavored Macaroons, and a bottle of Bubbly could always do for an "I Love You."
