Best Date Night Restaurants in Maplewood

This was Valetine's Day and they were well prepped to service a largenumber of people. We made a reservation well in advance and asked to be seated in the "rear area" separated from the bar area -- which is usually quieter. We eat there about 2-3 times each year, for apecial occasions like a birthday, anniversary, etc. The food is always excellent They had their full menu available on Valentines Day, with a couple of special items added. Our waiter was very attentive without hovering -and was very friendly. We went with the 4-course tasting menu. We highly recommend the beet salad and the egg raviolo for the first two courses. The homemade pastas are also great. With one quartino of white wine and iced tea, our total for the evening was about $215 a couple of "upgrades" in the tasting menu and including tip. It's a bit of a pricy place, but well worth it for a treat!

Overall, view was great. Food was good. Service was subpar. Definitely over priced for what it is, but cool place for a little happy hour.

Lunch was amazing! Excellent service and amazing food. We started with a glass of Prosecco while sampling the amazing focaccia! Best ever! Next the mushroom and black truffle soup followed by the fish sandwich of the day.

Always wonderful, lots of customers. That's understandable because the food is awesome!!

Dinner was on a Monday night so restaurant was not super busy. We had window view table which was nice for business dialogue. Gustavo our sister was attentive but not overbearing. Steaks were cooked to perfection and as ordered.
