do you guys have any suggestions? i'm trying to find a restaurant in the city that has good food and a nice atmosphere? our 1 year anniversary is next weekend and we don't have the slightest idea where to wine & dine!
i'm not a fan of those pretentious restaurants where the portions are tiny and i feel way out of place.

my friend's parents own a sushi shop in greek town (weird, i know). they go to st. paul too. it's on 810 w jackson, just west of halsted. the portions are pretty good and the price is pretty cheap for sushi. tell them I told you to go and maybe they'll throw in a free appetizer or a discount!
what kind of food and how nice do you want it to be? When are you free! I want to meet jobie
btw it's your fault i've been having cicada nightmares lately
Wow, time flies! Congrats on your anniversary =)

For Italian food and a nice atmosphere you can try THINK Cafe. Its BYOB but they have wine you can buy there too. Its really nice in the inside.
Blue Water Grill is awesome. So is the lounge in the W Hotel off Lake Shore... I forget the name of it now. Blue Water Grill would be my choice... they have a restaurant (reservation recommended) and a jazz bar/lounge also if you wanted to sit there and chill after. =)
kyu's last holiday party was at the blue water grill. the atmosphere was definitely nice. i would like to go somewhere nice like that.
i don't have a preference to the type of food. i wouldn't mind trying something..different.
keep the suggestions coming! thanks!
I just thought of another restaurnt. It's like mexican/french....Dorado.
Wave - In the W Hotel off LSD. Very romantic & fun; they specialize in dishes where people "share the plate". Pitchers of Sangria are REALLY good here. (My top recommendation if you've never been.)
312 Chicago - Theatre district downtown. Lighter atmosphere & mood & prices - not so dark/dim/romantic, but very light-hearted. Custom daily menus.
Japonais - Halsted & Chicago Ave - most people know this place for their after-hours lounge. But it's beautiful decor and great sushi. They have a waterfall inside - mood/setting.
Rhapsody - if you wanted to eat outdoors, I would choose this place. Not too pricey either for the area it's in. I only had lunch there, so I have no opinions on their dinner menu. They have a very nice/cute outdoor seating arrangement tho.
Brasserie Jo - if you like French. Seriously, one of the best experiences I've ever had was here... food, decor, service, atmosphere & everything. Wine selection is one of the best, as is menu variety. It's on Hubbard & Dearborn, and they have valet parking.
River North is my dining area of preference, nary a bad experience with restaurants in that general area.
in new york?
no, in chicago.
