Best Romantic Restaurants in Northridge

Our third time there - all for special occasions. Three diners. The Jerusalem bagel, which is a lot of fun in its own right, is a must with dips and salads. We used it to sop up the zaaluk - very nice-sized portions of roasted eggplant and red pepper dips. Very tasty. The bagel also went well with the little gem salad, which was a very generous and delicious portion. Very fresh tasting. We used the dips as accompaniments to the arais, which were delightfully different from typical eastern Mediterranean food, and a treat. Our main was the short rib pasta. Excellent - meat fork tender, noodles al dente, just enough tasty sauce to coat everything. We split a Night in Beirut orange infused semolina cake with non-dairy whipped cream - wonderful. We like the cocktails here - the Zohar (a take on an Old Fashioned), the Turkish Coffee Martini, and the Pardes were all excellent. The wine list is sufficient and not overpriced with decent pours. Our Sancerre Rose did not have much body or flavor, but the superb Medoc went perfectly with all our dinner items. We highly recommend TLV Tapas. We'll be back.

Our family of 7 enjoyed the BEST Christmas Eve dinner with Kitty as our server. The food, service, ambience, and drinks were wonderful. Such a happy experience. We will be back and we will request Kitty!

Being in from Boston for a quick holiday trip, we were pleased this place was open on a Monday for lunch. Valet parking, quick & polite for under $10. Hostess quickly seated our party of 3 in a covered, sunken garden terrace type dining room . Comfy seating but the youngish crowd was pretty noisy. We are older but I didn’t feel over dressed in my black blazer. The room and the attractive crowd would have been a good setting for a Jeff Lewis or Housewives episode. I got an Amalfi Blue ($16) good, tasting, fizzy lunch cocktail that didn’t leave me pulverized. Casa Lena Burger($18) was delicious. My wife got the Ahi Tuna Sandwich ($24) Looked like big portions, and our guest had the Steak sandwich, also big & she brought half home in the restaurant’s distinctive take out bag. Panettone (it’s Christmas time) and Passion fruit sorbet. Perfectly prepared . The attentive service people were professional and striking looking.
