"One of the city’s most beautiful restaurants is not a bad place to tie the knot. The space, designed by Sees Design, opens into a mix of Parisian bistro design (so much brass) accented with Venetian decor (so much crystal) and patterns that shouldn’t work together but do. There’s a small private dining room upstairs, and to the left of the entrance is the “dark side” — a second dining room with a completely different design. It is perhaps better suited to a reception than a wedding ceremony. The kitchen serves pasta like truffle carpinocchi, short rib dumplings, and fusilli and caviar, along with a top-notch (and costly) menu of steaks. This place may be a match for the couple heading to the courthouse with a few friends for the ceremony who want to blow out their budget on the reception." - Courtney E. Smith
