Nice Dinner...

[trinyc1979]

I am trying to pick a restaurant for Valentine's Day and there are so many choices! My bf and I love Peasant and Union Square Cafe--and I would love suggestions from anyone who also counts these places among their favorites!

I called Hearth a couple of days ago, they had an 11pm slot. Guess I might have to plan for a few days after Valentines day :(

To be honest I think you'll be better off. We almost never go out on V-Day. Always a few days before or after. My BF cooks professionally and we know how crazy it can be. You often end up paying more for a sub-par meal with harried service.

Why not plan a romantic night at home and go out the next day?

[trinyc1979]

I totally agree with what you said. I think I will do that instead :=)

If you're just getting around to making your reservations now, I think you'll find that your choices are not as great as you might think.

Sigh, I was hoping my guy would take me there for V-Day. But on Opentable, there aren't very many slots (if any at all anymore).

Hearth is excellent...went there last Valentine's Day. Everything from the first course to the last melted in our mouths.

[trinyc1979]

thanks for your suggestions. Have been to L'Impero and Apizz but am seriously contemplating Hearth :=)

I think you can count on good service and excellent food at Hearth. If anyplace will do a good job even on Amateur Day, I mean Valentine's Day, it would be Hearth.

...plus an excellent wine list that is also available in 3 oz tasting portions for 3 - 5 bucks depending on the type of wine and quality. gives you the option to try 3 different types of wine with your meal assuming that your going to go for the tasting menu.

If you like Peasant, you may like it's siblings - The Orchard or the cozier Apizz.
There's Hearth, Wallse and L'Impero that you may want to check-out as well.
