“Where Can I Find Great Food, A Decent View, And LOTS Of Heaters?”

Dear Infatuation,

I want to dine outdoors this Valentine’s Day, but I don’t want to be cold and it has to be romantic. Where can I find great food, a decent view, and LOTS of heaters? Can be any price.

Thanks,A Little Heated

Dear A Little Heated,

Although you could just eat Sugarfish in your car, blast the heat, and overlook Mulholland Drive, if you’re searching for a patio that’s as hot as your budding romance, we’ve got just the thing.

Head to Perch. Located in Downtown LA, this spot has two separate patios on the 15th and 16th floors of a building overlooking Pershing Square, where you can sit amidst fire pits (and yes, lots of heat lamps), stare out over the city, and eat dinner from their French-leaning menu. Scallops come with a sunchoke-parsnip puree, braised short ribs are accompanied by beets and pearl onions, and white chocolate bread pudding is drizzled in a bourbon caramel glaze. You know, the perfect menu for stealing long glances with a lover, kissing next to the LA skyline, and feeling warm enough to remove your jacket and revealing a little slip dress. Reservations can be made here.

XOXO, The Infatuation LA
