Five Leaves, albeit a bit cramped, is a great destination for a laid-back romantic meal. The Five Leaves burger comes complete with a fried egg, a pineapple ring, and a sliced beet on top. If you want something a little more elegant, go for a dozen flash fried oysters and the crispy squash blossoms, or a special entree like rabbit stew or duck. The bartenders here make a mean martini, and there's an interesting list of aperetifs and ports for after dinner.

Marlow & Sons is the sister restaurant to Diner. They sit right next to each other on Broadway and share a kitchen. Similarly, Marlow & Sons' menu is also seasonal, but focuses more on small plates. The old-timey country store at the front combined with the antique-looking bar and intimate seating is totally romantic. Nibble on their famous crostini or fresh oysters with a special cocktail from the bar.

Le Barricou, a French bistro, is mostly known for its brunch, but its dinner menu is also delicious. Go for the traditional Coq au Vin or the Steak au Poivre with a nice bottle of French red. Or, if you're after moules frites you have five different kinds to choose from. For a really private romantic meal, Le Barricou offers a late night menu starting at 12 a.m. featuring Wild Mushroom Pasta or Scottish Salmon with asparagus and lemon confit. And yes, the five different kinds of moules frites are still available.
