Profile

Quietly sited on a quaint, tree-lined block, this charming eatery is the prototypical "great little place in the Village." Few restaurants have such broad appeal or can cater to as many diners whims. Want to eat outdoors? Try one of two outdoor terraces. Need to shake off the winter chill? A fireplace will warm your bones. Long to catch up with a few good friends? The intimate, stone-lined, wood-beamed rooms are conversation- and linger-friendly, and the eclectic, market-fresh menu surely encourages diners to stay awhile. Each season brings a few new gems, like meltingly delicate ravioli stuffed with goat cheese, dappled with walnuts and laced with chunks of summer beets, or a char-grilled salmon winterized with hearty white beans. When it comes to cozy neighborhood spots with a good, solid, crowd-pleasing menu, The Place is—pun intended— is indeed the place to go. — Kathleen Squires

A Perfect 10 for a Romantic Date Night

My boyfriend took me here to celebrate our 6-year anniversary. It was our first time at The Place. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Everything is made to order and with the freshest ingredients. I had the Cajun seafood stew with potatoes an excellent choice on a wintry evening next to the fire place. For dessert I had the home made sorbet trio. The atmosphere is charming and inviting, small and intimate. The Place is perfectly situated on a tree lined block in the heart of the West Village. I couldn't have asked for better food or service. Then he proposed to me at the restaurant. The manager and staff congratulated us and gave us a round of complementary drinks. The Place is a Perfect 10 for a romantic date night!!

Reason I give the service a 10 is they did all the little things to the T! I went there for a special date with my gf and I called ahead to tell the host that it was my gf's birthday and he not only gave us a great table but also wished her a happy bday which surprised her and got the night off to a nice start. The waitress was attentive without being budding in on a romantic night. Food was Excellent! My gf's veggie/seafood eater and she loved the place. We shared a sweet potato ravioli app (excellent) and I had a duck dish (the one where duck is prepared 3 diff. styles) and was pretty happy w/ the selection. The place is romantic and simple and makes for a great first date spot or great for a special occasion. It's not cheap but not exactly pricey at all. App/entres/glasses of wine all came to $100.
