Need a romantic restaurant URGENTLY

[pancun187]

Just got back together with my girlfriend. wanted a romantic place for dinner. We want to split an appetizer and do 2 main courses. some wine and drinks also of course. We could also use a suggestion for a nice place for dessert (she is a chocolate freak). I went to the place before (on west 4th) and i loved it. I need something in the $80-120 total range for dinner not including desserts. We don't have to do wine by the bottle. we are both light drinkers

Aroma on E. 4th Street is very small, but romantic with a good wine selection and solid food. Also, The House on 17th St. (off Irving Place) has a perfect atmosphere (converted old carriage house) and great food as well. Both would be perfect for your food, wine, and dessert specifications.

I vote for Jarnac in the West Village. Well within your budget, terrific food, small room, friendly staff.

I second (third? fourth?) Apizz and Orchard. Apizz's romance comes from it's rustic decor. Orchard is a little more upscale. Both have great food, so it's just a matter of preference.

I'll fourth Apizz, particularly if you like The Place - cute, cozy, and great for a date. I like the Orchard or Peasant too, but not as cozy. Annisa will likely blow your budget. The Little Owl is also a great idea, but it may be tough to get in to unless you guys like eating early...

Here's a picture of the main dining room: http://www.apizz.com/
It's not as dark as in the picture, but it is cozy and romantic.

I agree with the suggestion of Apizz. You could also do The Orchard (same owners) if that doesn't work out. I also like Giorgio's of Gramercy, and, if you can get in, Market Table and Little Owl. Good luck to you both!

annisa was really nice when i went with my girlfriend, though it may be slightly out of your price range...

Try Perbacco or Osteria del Sol

Apizz would also fit your requirements perfectly.

With your eating restrictions, I think it is possible to get by with $120 at Vice Versa without the dessert and including 1 glass of wine and tip.
Check out the prix fixe dinner. Even that seems doable at $35 a person.
