Inexpensive LA Restaurant for Fiance's Birthday?
I need you all to dig deep into your restaurant archives and think of a restaurant in LA that meets the following criteria:
- french/california cuisine that is unique and culinary
- appropriate for my fiance's birthday
- decently priced (think prices along the lines of $15-25 per entree)
- will have a reservation opening for 2 this Saturday
Help! :)

Taix in Echo Park
Pastis is at the top of your price range
Fraiche in Culver City is more like 20-30 but definitely worth it

Bistro de la Gare in South Pasadena, after a beautiful afternoon at the Huntington Botanical Gardens in nearby San Marino.

would be good for romantic, but it certainly isn't 15-20 dollar entree range... i thought about this too, but then confirmed that menu prices are about double or more.

Chez Mimi should be added to the list. Quite romantic.

For the best food, service, and value meeting your price constraints, try Nook Bistro in W.L.A. Even if they have no reservations remaining, they accept only walk-ins after 8:30 or so.
