I just had my 40th birthday at The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton. It's a hotel, I know, but truly the food and service were flawless. It was an outstanding and unforgettable dining experience. I took my partner to Masa's for his birthday this past year, and he said it "was a close second" next to The Dining Room. We also both love La Folie. For a world-class dining experience, you can't go wrong at any of these places.

One problem with Quince is the possibility you could get sued from alienation of affection if you should become attached.
