AlexeyAlexey: Amazing place for dates and romantic dinners. Very fancy interior (esp. for Madison). Lasagna and pasta entries are incredible. The only drawback of this place is its cost but it is def-ly worth it.

Linds E.Linds Ellis: Bacon wrapped dates! These helped with my craving after trying these at Chicago restaurant, Avec. Give the dates a try as an appetizer. They are rather small, but you get 5 or 6 bite sized pieces.

Joanna M.Joanna Merrill: I love this place. Fantastic food and wine. Very hip atmosphere. The Caramelle with beets is a must order for primi. The mussels are great for a lighter meal.
