The Scene – Looking for a romantic spot that will make you look in-the-know without seeming desperately hip? Head to semi-secret Shalel Lounge, located beneath Metsovo. If you can't find its inconspicuous sign, just follow the paper-bag lanterns and Arabic dance music down the stairs and through a covered patio.

Great little romantic spot
by Latintreasure
I came here with my boyfriend for Valentine's day and had a great time. We didn't make reservations, so we had to sit at the bar. It didn't matter because the bartender treated us very well. The wine was great as well as the appetizers. Love the ambiance. So romantic and cute. Highly recommend it.
- Pros: ambiance, decor, service

EH...OKAY
by venusrules
I say this is a 5. Basically, it looks great and sounds great, BUT you MUST get there really early (before 9pm) in order to guarantee a spot to sit at...AND it's really really hot and stuffy...And beware of couples who take over a WHOLE room to indulge in one another...HEY SHARE THE ROOM PEOPLE!!!! The drinks are pricey, but hey this is new york city!!!! All in all, its okay...could be bigger though!!!!
