What are some of the romantic restaurants in the South Bay?

My husband and I celebrated a wedding anniversary at Trump National's Cafe Pacific. Not only did we have a full view of an incredible sunset but the food was fantastic. We were greeted by name when we arrived and I was impressed that the chef, Jean-Pierre Vincent, came to the table to discuss the food with us. He even prepared a special anniversary dessert plate for us. The food is pricey, but the experience was worth it.

If you consider watching an amazing sunset while dining by a firepit right on the ocean bluffs romantic, then you should definitely visit Nelson's at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes. Dine al fresco or indoors while watching dolphins go by in the Pacific right below you. Or gaze out to Catalina Island in the distance. To the north, you can see the Pt. Vicente Lighthouse, which legend states, is haunted by a young woman. The grounds at Terranea are splendid and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The menu at Nelsons is pretty much limited to burger type fare. So, it isn't wildly expensive. They don't take reservations. So, get there early on the weekends or take a book in case you have to wait a bit.

Try the Lunada Bayhouse Restaurant in Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates. It has incredible steak, seafood, and pasta dishes and is in a beautiful neighborhood. Come early and take in the view from the cliffs of Lunada Bay.
