I love great food, but am not too adventurous (would not choose the tasting menu at Lola). By the way, this is a dinner with my husband. So, I chose these retaurants for their great food (and Lola's wine) and romantic atmosphere. Which place has your vote? Tue May 01 15:54:21 -0700 2007 70602 stephtx 1 2532438 Lola, no question. You can order off the menu for the night if you would rather. They really don't get too out there. No question. Tue May 01 15:56:49 -0700 2007 2532430 39804 J.R. 1 2532470 Lola without question. Better food, better selection, more accomodating, friendlier, excellent wine list. St. Germaine requires adanced payment & that menu selections be made in advance as well, from a very limited menu.

Ofcourse we had our wedding reception there so I'm a little biased. If you really want to hit a romantic home run, book suite #5 and stay the night and have breakfast/brunch on the balcony the next morning. Fri May 04 18:31:40 -0700 2007 2532430 64351 ieatdallas
