Cozy, intimate, low-key spot for anniversary dinner - meatpacking or south?
August was fantastic - one of the most memorable meals I've had in quite a while. We sat in the greenhouse garden with the sound of rain pounding on the glass roof & the scent of wood burning oven filling the air: tre' romantic. An interestingly earthy, well balanced German Pinot Noir stood up to the rich, decadent flavors with finesse & the Alsatian onion & bacon tart with creme fraiche was a lush comfort food base from which to ease into the more complex flavors to come: A special of guinea fowl w/ chickpeas, cherries & yellow chives had the perfect combination of bitter spring snap & jammy sweetness, and the slow roasted suckling pig with smoked olive polenta, dandelion greens & cardamom was at once an ode to winter in it's roasted perfection & a hello to spring in it's tangle of sweet bitter greens. A side of poached duck egg over grilled ramps was a great example of how perfect, simple execution can highlight great ingredients and make it all look so effortless. I'm dying to to go back for dessert!

Any ideas for a cozy chill spot with fab food that'll take a res for my anniversary dinner tomorrow night? Something like Freemans or Little Owl but where we won't have to wait an hour for a table? Was thinking of Five Points or Mas (farmhouse) . . . ?
