The 12 Best LA Restaurants To Eat At The Bar - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This tiny French bistro, which opened back in 1998, is a Silver Lake classic and one of the most objectively romantic restaurants in the neighborhood. When we say “romantic” though, we don’t mean it in a snoozy-one-glass-of-red-and-home-by-9pm kind of way. Cafe Stella is dark, sexy, and a bit mysterious—the kind of place where you can sit at the bar, sip a martini, and eventually strike up a conversation with the most interesting person in the world. You might even casually date them for a few months. For food, go for the gooey French onion soup and the generously portioned steak frites.  " - Brant Cox
