The Little Door

Sure, the food at this upscale European brasserie in Beverly Grove is just fine these days, but no one can deny that Little Door is one of LA’s quintessential date spots. And it all boils down to the patio: warm, brick flooring, antique chandeliers hanging from rose vines, and enough trees to qualify the space as a pocket park. Dinner at Little Door feels like eating inside an enchanted forest, or in other words, the ideal place to order decent seared salmon and stare longingly at  the person sitting across from you.
