Fantastic Night Out – Sounds like this place was the place to be during restaurant week. My wife and I couldn't get in - so we decided to go early on a Sunday (too bad they aren't open for Sunday brunch cause it's a great setting). It was quiet and charming and we had a really nice time. The menu was expensive - I see why there was such a frenzy to get in there for only $35 - but not as expensive as some other restaurants I have been to. And it's well worth it. The food is amazing. The wine list is extensive and fairly price... read more

RW Frenzy!!! – Wow. This place was crammed! I had to beg and plead to get a reservation during restaurant week and am sooooooooo glad I did! Sure, we had to wait for a table - but the bar is gorgeous! The warmth of the fireplace and the lilting piano music kept my girfriend and I in the perfect mood. (Not to mention the great Cosmo!!) We were seated in a smaller dining room that I thought was kinda off the beaten path ... but it turned out to be much quieter than the hustle and bustle of the Main room. Our waiter (Curt? Kirk... read more

Wonderful night out – Went there this week for Restaurant Week. One in our party had their regular menu and the rest of had the restaurant week menu. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. We were seated right away even though it was extremely busy. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was wonderful. I'm surprised about some of the comments I've been reading here. People saying it's a bargain for $35 but wouldn't pay full price at other times. My understanding is the restaurant week menu is different than what you... read more

Historic Charm – Went to OIBL for Restuarant Week since the place is historic. Had to wait about 25 mins for our table with reservations since it was packed on a Wed. night (mostly middle aged couples and groups). Our table upstairs was nice; the place was glowing w/ candlelight which made for pleasant ambiance. Our server was professional and attentive. The menu offered nice choices for prix fixe (gnocchi was delicious, honey sauce for smoked pork was a great match, and the choc. fondant was warm and good). We opted to add ... read more

Great night out – Made a reservation for restaurant week. It was really busy, but I only waited 10 minutes for a table. We were treated really well. The food was way better than I expected. Great deals on the wine list and the service was excellent. It was a bit noisy but what can you expect when everyone is there for a "deal" during restaurant week. I would definitely recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Fun, Romantic, Beautiful – My boyfriend surprised me with a romantic dinner for our anniversary on Sunday. The restaurant is beautiful. Service is warm and comfortable. We had tasting menus with wines. It was a dreamy night. Will definitely be back.

Incredibly Disappointing – It amazes us that this restaurant is able to maintain a reputation as "one of the most romantic restaurants in New York". Interior is dated and lighting is off. Restaurant is noisy and not conducive to a romantic evening out. Despite reservations, we waited a half hour wait and then waited an additional 20 minutes before we were even provided a menu. Service was haphazard - rushed at times and incredibly slow at other points during the meal. While waiters and staff were polite, it felt like service... read more

Definitely a Romantic Night Out – So i went there for Restaurant Week, and I enjoyed my time there. The place was very beautiful, from the piano in the front to the gorgeous mirrors, decorations, everything was romantic and perfect. The only downside were that we were in the back room, so the paino music was difficult to hear, and I didn't feel the atmosphere was as fairy-tale like. We didn't have drinks, and I have to say, I feel the waiter took that as a sign we weren't worth as much time as other diners. I had the Soup de... read more

Sorry, But They're Coasting – We went there with the highest of expecations for a special night with friends. Upon arrival the hostess treated us like yesterday's garbage. They had listed us for an earlier reservation and snidely told us that we had lost our table, although the reservation had been confirmed earlier that day. She reluctantly told us that she would seat us at the bar. We go out to Zagat rated restaurants on a regular basis, but apparently the hostest was not impressed with our last name, or perhaps our age br... read more
