I have a very high-end date coming up in LA (staying in the Beverly Hills area) and want to go out to dinner/drinks at someplace discreet yet befitting a very classy provider. Planning on fun before and after, so need something good logistically (not too far). Thinking lighter food like sushi - saving room for dessert ... but want somewhere that is 15-20 minutes max from BH and is relatively private and intimate. The date is an attention getter so need to be careful as she will attract a lot of attention and I want things more private if possible.

Ideas beyond dinner are welcome - don't know the LA scene that well. Trying to balance things out with a healthy amount of playtime.

Thanks!

Or GrubHub to get a dinner delivered from her favorite restaurant.  

Costs about 20% over the price of eating there when you add the delivery fee, service fee and driver tip.  IMO, definitely worth the premium cost.  

Plan on a good hour from order time to delivery to your hotel door for most locations.  

You can also use these services to get booze and mixers delivered from a local BevMo, Stock up!

I recommend a little spot on Laurel Canyon called Pace, Italian for Peace it's former name.  

Of course you want to take her out, that's so fun! This is spot that is very classy in a Euro/boho way.
Formally a favorite spot of the legends of Laurel Canyon's music scene, it's dark woody ambiance makes everything more relaxed, serene. You feel like maybe you're in the Berkshires of Western Mass. I think it's a great choice.  

You can then take her on a drive through Mullholland stopping to enjoy the views, maybe  bend her over the hood?  
If she's not down and you want to test drive this suggestion, let me know! I'm happy to charge more if it makes it feel more high end! Hee hee

It's private room in the back of Sugarfish. The food is prepared by Chef Fujita himself. It's tasting menu only so you and your date need to be willing to try everything (you can check the sample menu to get an idea). It's expensive but worth it.
