Birthday Dinner (need suggestions)

[Phish Food]

So my girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I am looking for suggestions on where to take her. Right now I booked reservations at Mesa Grill, but after looking at a lot of reviews I am second guessing the choice. Any suggestions are appreciated, although she does not eat Sushi or really any Japanese food. Thanks in advance

What's your budget? What does she normally like? Where have you gone for celebrations in the past?

Mesa probably isn't too bad, but it's definitely past its prime. I'm guessing you can do better foodwise. As Kathryn mentioned, any guidance in terms of what type of place your looking for (price, formality, cuisine, location, etc.) would be helpful, as NY has more restaurants than you can imagine.
