The chef Robert Gurvich, took over the kitchen in November after working at Alison at the Beach in Sagaponack, Long Island. Whenever I think of romantic restaurants I think of Alison on Dominick. Even the lonely location on a small, fairly deserted street, seems romantic. The lighting is romantic too, just dim enough. The wine list has always been interesting and well priced.
People come here on special occasions because it is a smart, pretty place, cozy, and romantic.
