Most Romantic Restaurant in Brooklyn?

Valentine's Day is less than a week away, so if somebody is expecting you to make a dinner reservation, it's about time to get on it. We usually opt for a special meal at home — but we did snag a last-minute table at Red Rose in Carroll Gardens a couple of years back, and though the place was a little hectic, the servers graciously sent each of the ladies home with a single red rose and a mini-box of chocolates. If you're sharing the evening with the kids, Fratelli's heart-shaped ravioli makes an easy but festive meal. But for everyone who is prepared to brave the Valentine's dinnertime crowds, what's the ideal spot for a romantic meal?

that place right on the water in Brooklyn Heights, of course. Can't remember the name right this second, but they had the best chocolate Brooklyn Bridge dessert.

As for most romantic in Brooklyn, its the River Cafe, hands down, case closed(the one the poster above couldn't remember). I had booked v-day dinner there last year but bailed b/c of the realization that the v-day prix-fixe, plus wine, tax & tip was gonna run clear over $500. Too bad that we missed Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson who were there (per Page 6).

V-day dinners are a rip though, esp. if you're married. Eat at home and go out the night before or after.

Alma is also nice b/c of the view, but not too romantic otherwise. Petite Crevette has a reasonable Valenties Special and if their Rosebud annex is open, that could be romantic too. The more dimly lit italian places are good as well if you can snag particular seats- Frankies 457, Fragole, Noodle Pudding.

its best to cook for your lady on Valentines Day...Most of the restaurants have a special menu that's really a rip off.

Actually the wife and I do an anti-valentines day, 1) a contest to see who can buy the cheesiest card Hallmark spits out & 2) dinner at our favorite local sushi joint. No flowers, no gifts, no candy, etc. It's heaven!

What about Marco Polo Ristorante on Court and Union? That place exudes Brooklyn-style romance. Plus they don't have a rip-off prix fixe menu like a lot of other places. But they do have spagetti and meatballs.

I vote for Al Di La. No rip-off V-Day menue, but no reservations either.
