Take out for picnic at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills ?

I'm considering a Valentine's Day picnic with my sweetie at Graystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. Any recommendations near the Mansion to pick up some great take-out or a picnic lunch?

Update - I just called Greystone Mansion and learned they do NOT allow picnicing at Historical Sites. So...my revised request.....a reasonably priced ($$) restaurant near the Mansion - not sushi - with great atmosphere, great food, a great Valentine's Day place for lunch before or after a visit to the Mansion.

Thanks for The Farm suggestion. I've been there and will keep that option in mind.

    Joan's on third... Not quite in Beverly hills but it recreates a picnic feeling and the food is amazing.

        Second Bar Bouchon.

        Also, Porta Via or La Scala.

            Bar Bouchon's Picnic looked beautiful. I received an e-mail describing the offerings and everything looked wonderful. That would be the #1 place I would go to for a picnic basket Unfortunately, I can't find the e-mail. I suggest calling Bar Bouchon and asking for more info.
            Their baskets were the best of the best and fairly priced.

        Ya know, I'd prolly go to Bristol Farms in Beverly hills Grab some wine or champagne a baguette something from there nice hot/cold food counters. They have some nice pastries as well. Call it a 'semi home made' picnic ;) Just like you picnic on the cheap in europe after college.

        Greystone Mansion is very romantic, Been to a really nice wedding there!

          The Cheese Store of Bevely Hills has awesome stuff but they don't particularly do prepared food. They have cheeses and meats and nuts and other items of that ilk along with a great wine selection. This is the way I like to picnic but if you want more substantial food, The Farm is a great suggestion as well.
