Dine-Around Date Night
If you think roses are nice, but a glass of merlot is even better, we have a date night for you! With sophisticated happy hours, candlelit dinners and a moonlit stroll through the European-inspired setting of Two Rodeo, this itinerary is your guide to a foodie’s date night out in Beverly Hills.
- Park in the City of Beverly Hills’ parking garage below Beverly Cañon Gardens, with entrances at both 240 North Beverly Drive and 241 North Cañon Drive. This garage is open 24 hours daily, offering a $5 flat rate after 6 p.m. It's walking distance from some of Beverly Hills’ most memorable spots.
- Catch the elevator up to the ground floor and walk over a few blocks to the critically acclaimed Ocean Prime for its happy hour special, offered 4 p.m.-6 p.m. from Monday through Friday. At the bar, kickstart the night with a selection of handcrafted cocktails, delicate small plates and tasteful wines, with flickering candlelight warming up the sleek and modern decor.
- Another nearby happy hour option includes Caffé Roma, which specializes in Northern Italian flavors. Its happy hour special runs from opening hours until 9 p.m. daily, offering small bites, pizza and pasta.
- If a romantic meal is what you have in mind, make dinner reservations at THEBlvd at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel. The food is sourced locally but inspired globally. Dine under airy lofty ceilings or out on the patio overlooking the world-famous Rodeo Drive. Whether tasting starters like Wagyu beef yakitori drizzled with sweet yao gai sauce and lobster bisque infused with coconut cream or mains such as garlic spiced chargrilled chicken interspersed with fried leeks and porcini crusted beef tenderloin charred crisp to perfection or pastas like lobster risotto sprinkled with saffron and spinach chitarra strewn with brown butter, you’ll find yourself approving each bite.
- For an after-dinner stroll, head to Two Rodeo, just across Wilshire Boulevard. It's a particularly romantic place at night, adorned with expensive granite, ceramic tile and brick, while soft lighting from overhanging lamps emits a nice glow throughout the walkway. The shops of the likes of Versace and Porsche Design will be closed, but you’ll still be able to peek through the windows as you pass by. You’ll find this cobblestone street reminiscent of traditional Europe. It's a perfect spot to snap a few photos and chat about which dishes were your favorites.
