Cozy dinner with friends...

[PetiteSyrah]

Looking for a low-key Saturday night, good food at not too-outrageous prices. Most of the places I seem to be interested in (Spotted Pig, Frank, Cronkite Pizzeria) don't take reservations. Really, up for any kind of food (except for Indian)--I'd love to find a wine bar/restaurant, or somewhere that is BYOW, but would love to keep prices under $30pp for entrees. Any suggestions? Manhattan preferably, downtown even better.

Cosette, on 33rd St., b/t 3rd & Lex, is a petite, sweet, cozy French bistro with very good food. Main course prices are well under your target.
