If you broaden the search to Brentwood you will fare better.

If you want something more intimate and still walking distance, you also might consider Soleil, a small French restaurant just south of Wilshire on Westwood. It is quite good, although certainly not in the Santa Monica league just mentioned:

Soleil
1386 Westwood Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90024-4980

I don't know that any place in Westwood proper would qualify for a fantastic meal, but agree that Napa Valley Grille and Tanino are appropriate for a special occasion.

If you can consider going out to the surrounding areas in West LA/Century City/Brentwood/Santa Monica, you'll havemuch better options. Melisse, Craft, Jiraffe, and Valentino are some ideas.

Well, if you are attending something at the Geffen or on campus and want to park once and just leave it, then in the Village you have Napa Valley Grill, Tanino, or Palomino B&G, in that order.

I like Upstairs 2 just south (1.5 miles) of Westwood Village on Cotner and Olympic. It's located above a wine shop, so they have good wines and small dishes.

The advantage to all three of these is you'd only have to park once (presuming you're going to the Geffen Playhouse.) My choice would be Tanino.
