Best Romantic Restaurants in Arts District

This gem of a Restaurant has the most unique and beautiful salt water aquarium I’ve ever seen. Unique because it’s located on the restaurant’s ceiling. Also the bottom of the aquarium had several domes to give a fish eye view of the beautiful fish. Pausing underneath the aquarium and gazing into the transparent dome of glass, I felt like a fish gazing at my friends under the sea. We ordered whatever our heart’s desired and there happened to be an absolutely lovely jazz trio there to entertain and delight. I felt Blessed beyond Measure

Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.

Our birthday celebration was terrific. Maybe the food could have been hotter when delivered but it was all delicious: Duck, Filet, pasta, prawns, focaccia, buratta and the cocktails were very nice. Terrific service. Thank you

We went to Manuela’s for brunch before heading out to Pantages to see Wicked. The food here is delicious and the service impeccable. I had been here before but my two family members had not. They loved it as well. The coffee is bold and strong, as we like it. The sweet cream biscuits and beignets to starts were a hit. Then our meals of hazelnut French toast, eggs with very thick homemade bacon, shrimp with rice grits, and an arugula pear salad to share. We will definitely be back again!

Had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant's ambiance was perfect. We loved the location and the decorations, it's a beautiful restaurant, it reminded me of old L.A. We will definitely be coming back for more.
