The Steak Au Poivre is my dish of delight.
It's cold outside and you want to take your date somewhere warm and cozy with a New York feel that is unmatched. On Prince street you are in the heart of SoHo and this famed restaurant is a royal palace that won't disappoint.
Raoul's is as New York as it gets, the spiral staircase, the psychic fortune teller, the bar and the people are all breathtaking. But my favorite part is the garden seating where you and your date will walk through the loud busy kitchen to discover your romantic table for two. At this joint you can sip cocktails made with pride and eat food that fits any mood. The wine list is sufficient and welcoming without pretentious approach. This dining experience is sure to please even the pickiest eater.
It's the kind of place where love birds kiss and snuggle in romantic gangster booths. Mothers and Fathers join there New York child for dinner during their visit from middle America. "Honey I just love it here, little Johnny knows all the spots" dad says with a grin.
Your date will grin too, thinking that his or her date is a stud and knows all the spots. What makes Raoul's such a gem is not the food or the ambiance or the service. It's the energy, baby. You have walked into a setting so ruff and rugged; yet as shiny as Don Drapers shoes. When this dining experience has ended the legs of the fantasy island that is manhattan are at your feet. You can take this night anywhere you want from a stroll up to Pegu Club or head due west for after dinner drinks at Little Branch.
Cheers,
AT.
