Fluer de Sol is an excellent Spanish restaurant.
Rocco is an excellent Italian place in the village
Son Cubano is supposedly excellent
L'Ecole is great- its operated by the students at The french Culinary Institute.
i went to son cubano bc everybody kept saying how delicious it was. Both Dh and I were not impressed at all with the food. The place is nice though, but we love cuban food and compared to other places, i felt it was eh. But like you said, its such a hot trendy spot that i think ppl go bc of the name.
DH and I are actually going tonight. I just amde a reservation. We got a gift certificate for it as a wedding gift. DH's band is playing only a couple of subway stops away and isn't going on till 10 so we figured its a good ngiht to use it.

the atmosphere is real good there, it is a fun place so you'll have a great time. The food wasn't horrible not like we were saying "OMG THIS IS DISGUSTING" just that some things we ate didnt have as much flavor as other cuban restaurants. We also ate there late at night so maybe that was the case.

my fave is buddakan, not 100% sure if you would like it though haha. They do have regular things too though.
Would you prefer Italian?
plataforma is brazilian, i love it
theres a spaniard restaurant, been around forever its called Ole. Great atmosphere and they have live singers, known to have opera singers.
one romantic restaurant that is very popular is one if by land two if by sea
Plataforma is great! There is a place in Roslyn called Riodizio that is owned by the same people and is also excellent!! So much food!!!!!

I was reading reviews on citysearch and menupages and a LOT of people were saying the same things as you. So now Im not going to get my hopes up. LOL. But I figure we have the gift certificate, so if its not great, its no biggie. The people who got it for us are from Maine and got if based on a recommendation from their daughter who lives here.
DH and i went to their sister restaurant, Fleur De Sol a couple of years ago and LOVED it!

i think that was the problem for us, we had higher expectations, everyone always raved about it so we were so excited and couldn't wait. Then it was like hmmmm the rice and beans dont have as much flavor as other places where you really taste the seasoning. Thats what it came down to. Plus you said its a GC so no biggie. Have fun though, the place is beautiful and you'll have a great time no matter what.

the view is very romantic. The floor spins and is best to go when the sun is about to set. I have only gone for drinks and they were great. Really don't know about the food.

Re: good NYC restaurants

check out "BED" google it. It's in the factory, the elevator takes you up and you eat on a bed. I took DH for his bday and he loved him. The bill ran up to $250 excluding drinks. The food seemed to be little but it was delicious and really filled us up. You can try Water Edge which is in LIC Queens. You can take their water taxi from the city to go eat dinner and then take it back if you are planning on staying in the City.
Bed was a closed a while ago.

Re: good NYC restaurants
There is an awesome steak house in times square called Bobby Vans. The menu is not that big and everything is alla carte but it's very romantic. DH and I went there for my birthday and we loved it! We were there for like 2+ hours and they didn't rush us at all...it's great!

Re: good NYC restaurants
DH and I went to dinner in the city Friday night- we were supposed to go to Son Cubano but ended up deciding to go to Rocco in the village instead. Its on Thompson St. Kinda near the Red Lion. We had been there before. Its a very romantic Italian restaurant. And is very very good!!
