Post a CommentI agree with your list, but I have to say I'm disappointed that Lucio's BYOB didn't make it. Lucio's is a family-owned little restaurant on Taft Street in the Montrose area. With seating for about 50 (maybe even less!) it is quiet, comfortable, and very romantic. The staff are fantastic and make you feel like part of the family, without seeming intrusive. Patrons bring their favorite wine, and the chef will pair a perfect meal for you based on your wine choice and preferences. Or, one can order from the menu, which is hand-prepared by the chef and changed monthly and seasonally. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the food even better. Definitely a great date place.
sounds great!
