A romantic night in Silver Lake / Echo Park
Low light, a good table, and nowhere to be afterwards.
8 spots · Jump to the list
The restaurant is still the date most people start with, and the right one does most of the work: a room that's quiet enough to talk, light low enough to relax, a table you're not hurried off. Every restaurant here was chosen for that feeling rather than for the food alone — though the food is good. Book ahead for a weekend, ask for a corner or window table when you do, and leave the rest of the evening open.
This guide ranks 8 romantic restaurants in Silver Lake / Echo Park. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
