February 14—it’s coming. And it’s very much real. The good news: at this precise moment, dinner reservation lines are opening up. The bad news: at this precise moment, dinner reservation lines are opening up. Either way, you’ll need the right table for the job...
Here’s What: A private table for two nestled behind dramatic floor-to-ceiling curtains.
Actually, more like semiprivate—because right next to you will be an enormous glass wall. On the other
side of that wall: a bunch of chefs cooking your dinner.
Here’s Why: It’s basically dinner and a show. Only you can eat the show.
Here’s What: It’s the only two-top table
in the entire restaurant that’s not inches away from the next one. And with the imminent threat of
eavesdroppery out of the way, you can feel free to discuss whatever cupid-related... scenarios may be in
store for the rest of the evening.
Here’s Why: Sake + privacy = cupid-related scenarios.
Here’s What: A cozy spot tucked away in a recessed corner of the main dining room. It’s
also surrounded by wine racks.
Here’s Why: This is one of those “best-kept secret” places to begin with, but throw
in a little seafood risotto, a bottle of chianti and a table surrounded by more chianti, and you’re gold.
Here’s What: Picture sitting
at a bar. Now picture sitting at a bar with chefs on the other side instead of bartenders. That’s
this.
Here’s Why: Maybe it’s only a second date. Maybe your second date is boring (live and
learn). Either way, eating dinner two feet away from back-of-house shenanigans should at least provide a
talking point or two. That, and vodka.
Here’s What: You’ll find a lot of booths in this place. But this one happens to be
right next to the giant stone fireplace in the center of the dining room.
Here’s Why: There’s already a strong cabin-y, lodge-y vibe going on here—this just
makes it official. No word on a hot tub banquette yet.
