Romantic Restaurant

Would appreciate any suggestions for a nice romantic restaurant in the city - know this may be tough question. Will be staying at Marriott East Side on Lexington near east 48th. Dont mind traveling around city - Looking for good food, intimate atmosphere, doesnt have to be too fancy, seafood, italian, french - most anything will do. We are in late 40%26#39;s - NO KIDS WITH US - just escaping for a few days. Moderate price is good, expensive is also ok if quality is there. Would be nice if reservations excepted without long wait. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks all.

The famed places are Cafe des Artistes and One if By Sea... difficult to score last minute reservations...





One suggestion is Vespa (2nd av between 84-85, upper east side), great food, romantic atmosphere, expensive but not crazy, with rare exceptions, short / no waits. It%26#39;s Italian, by the way, but not run of the mill Italian.

A block from Vespa is Erminia, which I think is about the most romantic place in the city. Tiny, candlelit, excellent Tuscan cuisine.





And though it%26#39;s touristy rather than intimate, I love the rightly famous River Cafe, overlooking the twinkling downtown skyline from the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge, a cab ride away.





Take a look at menupages.com for reviews and to see sample menus. (The prices on those sample menus are often outdated though).
