Romantic overdose

The Foundry on Melrose
7463 Melrose Ave., at Vista St.

Furnished with white linens and a stunner of an olive tree, it's already one of the city's toniest patios. (The outdoor area is also preferable to the frenetic pace of the dining room.) Add loungey couches by a double-sided fireplace, the faint brassy notes of live jazz from the bar area inside, and the cuisine of chef/owner Eric Greenspan, and your evening under the stars is pure romantic overload.
