The first restaurant is The Quiet Man Irish Pub. Yes it is a pub, but a very special one. Located in Dover, the address is 64 East McFarlan Street on the corner of Rte. 46 . The first room is where the romance happens. It is a dimly lit bar with booths running along the wall adjacent to it. The choice is yours, sit in a large oversize comfortable booth and escape the chatter of other patrons while you can gaze only at your special someone. Or you can enjoy your meal at the bar where you can sit very close to each other while ordering whatever pleases you at that moment.
