Best

Love the food and the romatic atmosphere. Excellent place !!

Worst

The food is rich but not outstanding. The menu is somewhat dated. The winelist is outrageously expensive. And if you aren't getting engaged here you are out of place. OIBLTIBS...

daverodeo 7/29/2002

I've been here on two seperate occasions, each being a meal to write home about. The food was perfect each time, and by perfect I mean flawless. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere is second to none. Truly the place for special occasions, or times when you just want to treat yourself right. more

Romatic, cozy and Delicious 7/29/2002

It's a wonder inside this restaurant that is small but give the appearance of space because of the staircase, balcony level and dark colors. It's especially nice in winter with the fire place. more

Worth every buck 7/24/2002

It's not a cheap proposition but if you want to take the apple of your eye out for a real treat this is THE PLACE in NY. Service is excellent, food fantastic (go for the lamb with basmati rice and the banana tartine for dessert - sensational). The setting is the icing on this rich cake. Pros: wine list, food, decor Cons: expensive more

Come here to get engaged- she'll say yes 7/24/2002

Melt in your mouth Beef Wellington with impeccable service. The ambience is perfect for any special occasion- especially if you're proposing! If she says no after bringing her here, you're in serious trouble. more

Magical 7/24/2002

My husband and I were fortunate enough to win a sweepstakes and we were given $300 to dine anywhere in New York. This is the restaurant that I chose and it was the best dining experience of my life. more

Old fashioned romance in a cyber world 7/18/2002

This is a delightful surprise in the midst of downtown NYC. Its one of those places that you would pass a hundred times without knowing what it is inside. The food is sophisticated and delicious and what could be more romantic than fireplaces and candelight? more

Star-Gaze at the Bar 6/11/2002

Dinner here is great but my favorite thing to do is go into the bar during the week (I'm a star-gazer - so shoot me). We all know the really cool people don't do dinner on Saturday nights. I've seen Liza, Uma, Dolly, Yoko & Regis there on weeknights. more

Romance, Romance, Romance 6/6/2002

From the minute we walked in, we were wowed. This place is hidden on a small street in the Village without a sign. We walked past it twice before we found it. Going through the doors, you feel like you have been transported to another place. There's a pianist in the bar, exposed brick and flowers everywhere and an amazing viewing garden. The food was amazing. (We had tasting menus.) The wine list was imposing but our waitress was very helpful and suggested a great bottle in our price range. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to impress. more

Go on a Weeknight 6/5/2002

It's much nicer during the week, very busy on weekends. It's intimate, great food, impeccable service, lovely piano music. I've been in twice on weeknights and both times found myself dining next to celebrities (Ethan & Uma and Kelly Ripa & hubby). It costs something like $60 a person for the prix fixed dinner which I found to be a bargain for the beautiful dining room and great food. more

Best Restaurant in NYC 6/5/2002

I just had dinner there with my girlfriend and we had the best time. Food was stellar, service was extraordinary and I've never seen such a beautiful restaurant. I must admit we were a little nervous after reading some of the other reviews, but they must have been written by the competition, because none of it was true. This place is the best. And I can't believe people were complaining about the price, $59 for 3 courses, where are these people from Kansas? Pros: Romantic, Excellent Food, Great Value more
