Restaurants for romance, restaurants with friends

[Sneakeater]

For the record, I've taken a date to Cafe Gray. She loved it. (In fact, she really loved it: "I can't believe I'm eating Gray Kunz food!" "This risotto is fantastic!") (Of course she was exclaiming. How else was I going to hear her over the din?). I was irritated as usual (but the food was fabulous).

True. I've also found rich's place an excellent spot to take dates. Although Staten Island is a bit inconvenient.

I'm serious here. I would love to have you or any other egullet member to my house for dinner. I had made this offer once before (a few years ago) and Rachel and Jason considered it, but we coudln't work out a mutual time.

Sneak - I would happily cook for you and a date - I think it could be great fun. And Staten Island isn't that inconvenient for Brooklynites.

The view from my terrace (top floor) is spectacular ( I serve sparkling wine and caviar from there in the summer). And if that doesn't impress your date, there's my first course - parsnip ice cream with roasted eggplant puree and seared scallop that will certainly overwhelm her.

Wait a minute. I'm having a hard time understanding how it helps me for my date to be impressed with your house and your cooking.

That you were able to find a unique setting that isn't available to the general public - that should score some serious points.

I havent gone on many dates.. But when I would, I would take them to Saka Gura. It was a place I knew she most likely hadnt heard of.. I knew the staff well and they had interesting types of sake.. It was quiet, romantic, and exotic.. Place is just a homerun...
