Romantic Restaurant before Spamalot?

Hi everybody,

Last year we had dinner at XIX and loved it when we went to see Wicked. Would like to try something different this year.

We like romantic and quirky, and good food obviously. Anything nearby that you would recommend?

Thanks

Thanks Mike.

It looks pretty good from the website. We%26#39;ll give it a try.

We had an excellent meal at Bliss and I%26#39;m eager to try 6 Arts.

Bliss is closed on Sunday or that would have been our first choice.

We ended up at XIX again, only because we had an excellent meal last year there.

But wished after we had tried Mike%26#39;s suggestion.

They took our reservation on the phone no problem but when we arrived, found that the main dining room was closed on Sunday and were seated in the more casual dining area, where given a light fare menu which was not what we had wanted.

I feel we should have been told this on the phone when we made the reservation, as we would have made a different choice.

The food was pretty good not great, like last year.

Daffy2,

Sorry to hear things did not work out for you. I would recommend that you keep the varalli%26#39;s on you list for the future as they are both very good and the veiw from upstairs is quite nice.

But I would also recommend Bliss as an option for the future as well

Hope you enjoy these when you get around to trying them

Ernesto%26#39;s (small, classy, moderately priced Italian restaurant) is another good option.

Thanks all

We usually go to the theater once a year and next year, I%26#39;m taking your suggestions.

you may want to check out 10 Arts, in the Ritz Carlton. I haven%26#39;t been yet, but Eric Ripert can do no wrong in my book. I would say the price would be comparable to XIX (Nineteen).

Or, Parc , in Rittenhouse Square. It also tops my list of places I am dying to go to. Don%26#39;t know much, but it%26#39;s a Stephen Starr restaurant which means you will get fun %26amp; quirky, but you%26#39;ll also get a good meal and good service.
