Peasant or Orchard for a double date?

Thanks!

while i have not been to orchard, i have to chime in about peasant. i'm not a big fan. i think the whole translation of the menu so tedious and irritating. i think it would take up too much double date chatting time...

just so you know, the last two menus have had the english translations on them. (the last winter menu and the new spring/summer one)
I am definitely not a big fan of the upstairs space but the downstairs is a completely different experience.

great! last time i was there was before christmas and it was still all in italian.

the food is pretty good, not my favorite italian, but enjoyable. i love the lasagna.
now that they have finally translated the menu, i would go back. i hated sitting there while the waitress explained the menu. it took like 10-15 minutes and by the time she finished i forgot all the stuff at the beginning.

unfortunately the lasagna is not on the summer menu (its by far my favorite dish there) but they promised it would be back come the fall...

Peasant-but make sure you go to the downstairs wine cellar/grotto for the intimate experience...

We've eaten at both, multiple times. We like both places. I agree that Orchard is more the intimate restaurant. Peasant has the more rustic dishes and ambiance.

The Orchard is more intimate, Peasant more of a loud, bustling, spare space. The food is equally good, but somewhat different, at each, so take a look at the menu and see which one appeals.
