Do you hear that? That’s the sound of Valentine’s Day getting closer. No, you can’t do anything to stop it. But you can seize the day by making a reservation for one of these very specific tables right now. Together we can do this.
You Require: An opportunity to show off your mastery of French pronunciation; a casual
Lewis Carroll reference.
You’ll Receive: This secluded seating arrangement unofficially dubbed the “Alice in
Wonderland Table” due to its simply enormous wingback armchairs. Splitting an entire truffled chicken
requires enormous wingback armchairs.
You Require: Five to seven courses of Provençal cuisine; charming banter.
You’ll Receive: A Bistro du Midi table commanding unobstructed views of their open
kitchen, all while you receive off-menu dishes and a chef’s tasting menu. Charming banter: still on you.
You Require: Protein. Fire. Just the essentials.
You’ll Receive: A white-tablecloth-festooned table in front of a black marble fireplace
and oil paintings best described as “impressive.” Funny, you could probably use that same word on both
your date and the 100-day-aged prime ribeye. But don’t.
You Require: A wingman.
You’ll Receive: This marble slab adjacent to both their open kitchen and the station of
chef Michael Scelfo, who’s willing to guide the two of you through his favorite dishes. He’s the right
kind of third wheel.
You Require: Charcuterie, the trappings of Medici-era Florence and privacy. Not necessarily
in that order.
You’ll Receive: One of Renaissance-inspired M.C. Spiedo’s four booths, enclosed under a
canopy of crimson curtains so you can better focus on your prosciutto-wrapped black sea bass. Or your
date’s eyes. Probably the second one.
