Love it or hate it, February 14 is just around the corner. The L.A. restaurant scene is gearing up accordingly with elaborate menus, specialty cocktails, and rose-adorned tables, all in the name of love (and dollars, of course). There are countless commanding kitchens in town, but we've narrowed the list down to 14 shops that we find particularly worthy of a visit. Singletons need remember that these businesses don't discriminate, so grab a friend or five, put on your favorite digs, and go paint the town red.
