Romantic and Reasonable for New Year's

[iloveyams]

I'm looking for somewhere romantic and not too expensive for dinner on New Year's Eve. I was looking at Grace and Max in Sherman Oaks and they're about $60-75 per person during the early sitting--the later sitting is about $85. I want to go somewhere nice, but don't necessarily need a 3-4 course prix fixe meal. Any recommendations?

Max has my vote..they has a slightly enclosed room that's very romantic and consistently great food. Or you might want to check out Brandy wine, very small restaurant that successfully balances romance and friendliness

Thanks for all the suggestions! I live close to Celadon and have been meaning to try it. I think we might swing by a party on the Westside now, so I've been looking at some places over there and am considering going somewhere Italian--possibly in Brentwood. Any thoughts?

Have you been to one of the French Asian fusion places? Either Mako in Beverly Hills or Celadon in West Hollywood would be interesting choices. We like the food at both but like Celadon's interior space better (and their very creative drinks menu too).
