DB Bistro room question
Hi all. Coming into town for dinner/show, eating at DB Bistro Moderne one night. Its our anniversary....what room do you recommend ...front or back? I was planning on the requesting the front as it seems more relaxed and my wife hates "stuffy", but it is our anniversary...don't want to feel like I'm sitting in a bar. Let me know what you think...Thanks!
Also trying Ai Fiori while in town...should be a few nights of good eating :)

I agree with ellenost. Cozy, would be more romantic if they dimmed the lights, but then it would be harder to turn the tables over!

Definitely ask for the back room. The front room is more of a "cafe"--very casual. Unless you want very casual, the back room is more of the "restaurant". I had a problem with DB Bistro a few years ago because I had specifically reserved the back room, and they tried seating me in the cafe area in a room that was otherwise empty except for a family with young children, and they tried to seat me next to them. Just for sheer stupidity on the maitre d's part, I've never returned. The food was very good.

re: ollavac
I'm glad you went along with the room rec from my good friend ellenost as that would be my preference as well. They really are quite different -- almost like dining in two different restaurants. The food is excellent.
