Fodor's Expert Review Gitane
$$$
Financial District
Mediterranean
With its lush hot-house decor—red lamps, tuffeted curved seats, and oversized art—this romantic spot is a Valentine's Day favorite. It's also a great place for conversation, sangrias, and Mediterranean-inspired cooking. Tops are the bacon bonbons (bacon-wrapped prunes stuffed with goat cheese) and paella. The downstairs bar makes inventive and flavorful cocktails (many of them are sherry-based), with seats in demand. While there is outdoor seating, the interior is a seductive part of the experience here.
