Where is a good place to go to dinner in Hollywood?

A nice place to go have dinner...?

• Can anyone tell me of a nice romantic place to go have dinner? A place not to expensive but not to cheap either... In the Orange County Area or somewhere in L.A.?

• Answer:

  There are a lot of great restaurants there! Here's a list: Anaheim White House 887 S. Anaheim Blvd. (W. Vermont Ave.) Send to Phone Anaheim, CA 92805 714-772-1381 | Make Restaurant Reservations Anaheim White House restaurateur Bruno Serato pours on the charm in this restaurant's décor, cuisine and service. The menu, piloted by longtime chef Eddie Meza, offers something rather different than most Italian restaurants, tempering Northern Italian styles with French sensibilities The Cellar Villa del Sol Shopping Center 305 N. Harbor Blvd. (Harbor Blvd.) Send to Phone Fullerton, CA 92832 714-525-5682 | Make Restaurant Reservations This has been one of Southern California's most romantic grottos since 1969. Though the restaurant truly is in a cellar, occupying the downstairs area of Fullerton's Villa del Sol shopping center, it's nevertheless elegant, with stone walls and pillars and a heavy beamed ceiling. When it comes to the food, we find it hard to choose between the broiled pepper steak, roast breast of Muscovy duck with sour cherries, and rack of lamb in Dijon mustard sauce. It's equally difficult to select a starter, especially given the vast number of choices, so you can always order the superlative hors d'oeuvres platter. Assuming you have room after the hearty main course, order the cloudlike soufflé for dessert (chocolate and Grand Marnier are equally delicious). The wine cellar, just above the restaurant, is a treasure trove sheltering over 1,400 labels. First Cabin The Balboa Bay Club & Resort 1221 W. Coast Hwy. Send to Phone Newport Beach, CA 92663 949-645-5000 | Make Restaurant Reservations The Balboa Bay Club & Resort’s signature restaurant sits right on scenic Newport Harbor and has a classy décor inside and a sunny patio out of doors. The menu features classic Cali-Euro fare, as well as some traditional dishes from chef Josef Lageder's native Austria. Breakfast has lots of healthy options as well as traditional American favorites like eggs Benedict and buttermilk pancakes. At lunch, you can order up the famed lobster bisque with its creamy texture, full flavor and big bites of lobster. Other lunch items include sandwiches, entrée salads, steaks and seafood. Dinner is a more formal affair, so start with classic escargots Bourguignon or the baked sea scallops, which come with a tasty mornay sauce and sautéed spinach. For mains, try the lemon butter sole in a beurre blanc sauce, the roasted Muscovy duck, the juicy and crusted Colorado lamb rack or chef Lageder's Austrian-style Weiner Schnitzel (veal medallions). Dessert is worth the wait, especially the carrot cake and warm chocolate torte. The wine list is full of well-known bottles, mostly from California and France.
