Where to eat in LA?

[Deleted]

My in-laws are coming into town in about a month and we're going to go on a couple of date nights. Maybe one casual place and one fancier place (but we don't need to go to the best restaurant in the city or anything). Where should we go as newbie Angelenos? 

We probably want to stay on the westside.

I don't know if this is on the Westside and it's been almost ten years, but we had a really romantic meal at The Little Door.

Eveleigh- we went on Saturday and it was awesome. Good food, great drinks!

Ditto-ing Son of A Gun (and thanks @kirkette, now i know Animal is the same owner.) I also like Cooks County and Craft (I think in Century City)
