The best romantic and intimate spots perfect for a date in Brentwood — curated from over 200 LA restaurants.

3 picks

Brentwood has one of the most layered date-night dining scenes in Los Angeles — you can go Michelin-starred tasting menu or a candlelit 30-seat counter and never feel like you're settling. These 3 picks range from splurge-worthy special occasions to spots that make a Tuesday feel like an event. Every restaurant comes with a real TikTok review so you can check the vibe and the crowd before you book. Top of the list: Pizzana, Giorgio Baldi, Baltaire.

Brentwood's restaurant scene is quieter than the westside's busier corridors but consistently excellent — the clientele is local and the standards are high.
