Great place to go for a quiet meal

by ab1218x at Citysearch

My girlfirend took me to here last night, and I was really impressed. The restaurant is on a quiet street, and you would never think that there was such a great place to eat there. The place was quiet and romantic. I thought the lamb chops were excellent, as was the goat cheese truffles we started with. The food was tasty, was of high quality and was presented well. And the service was great too. The wait staff paid attention when we needed something, but never spoiled the mood by being overbearing. I only wish we had time for dessert! Since it was cold outside, we didn't have an opportunity to sit in the garden that everyone is raving about, but I definitely want to go back to check it out along with the desserts! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good romantic meal on Staten Island.

• Pros: romantic, great food, great service
• Cons: on the pricey side

Good choice for romantic night

Go to Aesop's Tables for a romantic night out in their wonderful garden and enjoy some delicious new-American food and some decent wine. Some of the dishes are hit or miss (bbq duck spring rolls = hit, pork tenderloin in sour cherry sauce = miss) but all in all it is a very enjoyable night. The service is good and the garden makes you feel like you are dining in a world far away from SI. You may pay a little more than you normally would on SI but it is still cheaper than Manhattan. Go and see for yourself.

• Pros: Wonderful garden, Food, Romantic
