Butterfield 9 sadly closed a few months ago...it would have been perfect for this occasion.

Tosca is really lovely and great for conversation. The service is smooth and professional. It's not cheap, but you will have a great evening.

Greek/Mediterranean - Komi
Italian - Obelisk

Komi is raved about on this board. I have never been but am going on Thursday for the first time.

Obelisk is my favorite Italian in the city. The restaurant is VERY small. Seats only about 30 people. It is quiet and the service is good. The food is excellent. Obelisk was my first thought after reading your post.

Some specifics about what you had in mind for price range would be helpful, as would any locations you are considering. Coming up with "American" cuisine restaurants is easy because there are so many, so having some specifics will be helpful in narrowing down the choices.

Do you have a price range?

First place to come to mind is Corduroy but it really depends on your price range since this can get a little pricey with a group of 6.
