    • Description:

    • For more than a decade this provincial hideaway off 3rd Street has been voted one of L.A.'s most romantic restaurants. There are four dining areas situated throughout a converted cottage-style house, the most popular being the lush "Patio" with its tile fountain and koi pond. If you can't get a table here, ask for one in the back room by the fireplace, which is both quieter and roomier. Fittingly, the cuisine is French/Mediterranean, ranging from a terrine of duck foie gras with strawberries to pistachio-encrusted scallops with Moroccan greens to rosemary-encrusted rack of lamb in a parsnip purée. It's pricey ($30 for fettuccine?), the tables are a tad too close together, and the attitude from the servers can be a bit . . . er . . . French. But when it all comes together perfectly -- the candlelit table, an attentive waiter, a warm summer night, a nice glass of wine, a soupcon of foie gras melting on your tongue -- it's easy to see why the Little Door is where the locals go when they're in the mood for romance.
