SO NOT ROMANTIC – Just a warning to all who are looking for a quiet romantic restaurant - KEEP LOOKING. There was an actual sing-a-long complete with some slobbering drunk unrulypeiple. They were singing and cursing and belching all night. Management was encouraging it and completely ignored our complaints.

Very Romantic – I have made reservations two weeks prior to my one year anniversary, requesting a table by the window in the main dining room. When me and my sweetheart have arrived we where promptly seated at the requested table. The ambiance was unbelievable; so romantic so authentic and charming, everything was just ideal. The place had a stunning effect on me and my darling. The service was fine. The food was exquisite and scrumptious. That night I have tasted the finest apple martinis, and I know martini. The price is g... read more

Lovely! – My boyfriend and I went on Sunday night for our anniversary and I found it to be the perfect place to go for a beautiful night out. We are twenty somethings so I expected to be treated with less respect, as usually happens in nice restaurants, but the hostess seated us in a prime table right by a window, the waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, and even the bus boys were funny. We had a fabulous time - the food was excellent, though not the best I've ever had...wine list was large and not as pricey as expected. W... read more

Great place & perfect for special event – After reading some negative reviews, I was skeptical about going to this place. But my mood has changed the minute the four of us stepped into this romantic historic-looking restaurant with candles, flowers, and multiple fireplaces. We were greeted at the entrance and seated right away in on the main floor. The waiter was great and very helpful with multiple reccomendations. The pre-fix menu price was $63 which I think is reasonable considering the portions were large and delicious. ... read more

Average – After making reservations 1 month ahead, they sent us to the bar when we arrived, you know to get you out some extra bucks because they had available tables at the moment. The food was good, but certainly over-hyped as a romantic place. Very dark, loud and crowded. I dont mind spending heavily in restaurants, but this was not cheap yet did not impressed us. We are not to hard to please, but would not go again. There are far better choices in the city.

One if By Land – We had an amazing special occasion dinner there on 10/07/03. I had read a number of very negative reviews on line, which I can only conclude were from people who are not accustomed to eating in restaurants of this caliber. The food was more creative than we expected. There was a special green pea soup with truffles and lobsters which was ethereal. Our main courses were perfect. Although we were first time visitors, we were given our pick of wonderful tables. The ambiance is unparalleled, and the service was ... read more

...if I've Got Time – Went for our anniversary. Service was awful. Brought the wrong bottle of wine and never apologized. No refills on water. Waiter dropped check on table while I was in the middle of handing my wife her anniversary present. Very, very disappointing.

Host Needs to Be REplace – Dinner was ok. Not the best meal I've ever had but the food was good, better than average. the piano music was lovely. My biggest complaints are about the staff. We had a waiter that had breath so bad it could kill a cat. The other problem we had was with the Host/Maitre'D. When we checked in he couldn't find our reservation and then mumbled something under his breath about the bar. We asked him to repeat himself and he got very nasty. We waited at the bar for 15 minutes to be seated when the resta... read more

Good, but could use a bit of work – I was seated promptly, even after getting there 30 minutes late due to traffic. Placed at a nice table, the decor was very nice, although there was loud conversations. the prix fixe menus were given pretty prompty and a mini-app was brought out along with some bread. service was professional, although scarce. the appetizer (sea scallops and shrimp thai salad) were both very good, although the entrees were too salty. midway through the dinner, another couple was seated right next to us, alt... read more
