Valentines Day Evening Restaurant for my girlfriend and I...

We will be staying at the W on Lexington beginning on Valentines Day.

Any suggestions for a somewhat romantic restaurant for Valentines?

I havent been to NYC since I was a little kid, my girlfriend goes all of the time.

It would be nice to have reservations set for dinner without having to ask her where we should go.

Price range preferably $50-$75 a person.

There are many lovely places. Are you considering drinks and/or wine in your price range?

I have mentioned this place a lot on the board lately because I dined there twice recently, so I apologize for the overkill, but on my last visit I took one of the flyers at the door at Cibo for their Valentine%26#39;s Day dinner.

Here is the information. It is a prix fixe menu, three courses for $55. I personally think it is a very good deal, and the atmosphere and service are very nice, fresh flowers on the table. Chocolate souffle very good. Ask for a booth.

Please know that%26#39;s it%26#39;s very hard to get reservations at the most well known/romantic places for V%26#39;day in NYC. It%26#39;s really a bad night to go out. Most locals try to avoid it and celebrate another night (previous Sat. or following Sat.)

That said, you%26#39;re visiting and want a nice time. I%26#39;d get out of midtown. If you like French food Le Gigot is a small bistro in the village. If you like Italian, Il Buco or Po are also both in the village. Erminia is fancier on the upper east side. Vivolo is another nice Italian in a townhouse on the upper east side.

The Little Owl is a newer place in the village getting raves, but it may be hard to get a res. there.
