  “Nicholas Elmi's 16-seat tasting menu — a real special-occasion secret vs. the obvious Center City names.”

• Talula's Garden · Washington Square · $$$

  romantic,pretty

  “A pretty garden-y room off the square — genuinely romantic, if a touch expected. Fine anchor if she loves a "pretty" spot.”

• The Barnes Foundation · Parkway · $$

  impressive,intimate,unique

  “A world-class art collection hung salon-style — the sharper, more intimate art date than the obvious big museum.”

  “Tiny, refined French on the Passyunk stroll — the quiet, grown-up date that almost nobody names first.”

• Vernick Fish · Center City · $$$$

  “Pristine seafood + a serious raw bar inside the Comcast tower — the impressive-oysters move if budget is open.”

• Vernick Food & Drink · Rittenhouse · $$$$

  refined,warm

  “Greg Vernick's ever-perfect new-American — warm service, nothing tries too hard. Bar seats are a great solo splurge.”

  “Wood-fired Italian inside an old whiskey-blending house — dim, brick, upstairs hotel bar. The best "impressive but not try-hard" date room in the city.”
