"Couples looking for special occasion standards like oysters, pinot noir, and foie gras will find them at this stylish Pearl District wine bar, but chef Erik Van Kley is particularly adept at developing pasta dishes, like spaghetti in ramen brown butter or carrot and goat cheese-stuffed pierogi, topped with almond salsa macha. Plus, the restaurant often offers some sort of dish for two, like grilled bavette steak with shio koji, well-suited for dates." - Katrina Yentch, Thom Hilton, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
