Romantic and Reasonable for New Year's

Thanks for all the suggestions! I live close to Celadon and have been meaning to try it. I think we might swing by a party on the Westside now, so I've been looking at some places over there and am considering going somewhere Italian--possibly in Brentwood. Any thoughts?

Romantic and Reasonable for New Year's

I'm looking for somewhere romantic and not too expensive for dinner on New Year's Eve. I was looking at Grace and Max in Sherman Oaks and they're about $60-75 per person during the early sitting--the later sitting is about $85. I want to go somewhere nice, but don't necessarily need a 3-4 course prix fixe meal. Any recommendations?

Indian Restaurants

I was perusing posts about good Indian places and everything looked like it was a couple years old so I thought I'd re-ask the question--where's a good place for Indian in LA? I don't have a particular area in mind, but I know there are alot on the Westside: New India Grill, All India Cafe, Ambala Dhaba, Akbar, Clay Pit, etc... but I don't know if any are worth going to.

Thanks!!!

Mexican Catering?

I don't know if healthy Mexican exists in LA (or anywhere else in the world for that matter), but I'm catering a Cinco De Mayo party and was asked about the possibilty of serving healthy Mexican food. Beforehand I was thinking Loteria, but I don't how suited they are to catering a party (they don't do catering anymore, but they do pick-up). I heard they do a taco sampler platter and a tasting menu, but I don't know if those options would be easily shared by a party of 10 people (even if I did order serveral taco samplers). Any thoughts or other restaurant suggestions??

Thanks!!
