I wanted to explore Park Slope with her and eat somewhere fabulous. The night before we'll be eating at Le Bernadin, and then on Sunday at the Modern. I'd like to take her somewhere in a charming location, has a comfortable, setting not too loud and not terribly expensive. She loves anything French/Italian/Nouveau American. If anyone could recommend a restaurant that specializes in seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients, that would be great. I'm trying to get her to eat healthy. Thanks!

Everything is seasonal and farm-fresh and it is charming, comfortable, and welcoming. http://www.applewoodny.com Mon Apr 06 16:29:33 -0700 2009 4572089 10874 jinx 1 4575145 I agree with applewood and will add Al Di La.

Rose Water is another spot that fits the description & it's closer to the Museum - they'd be serving brunch also.
