Best Romantic Restaurants in East Bank

We have patronized O-Ku for several years and it always exceptional. Important is that good food, even great food is fantastic, but your team is always way above the mark on all levels. This is what we always recall first. We really had to laugh how everybody congratulated us on our 140th anniversary! We do age well... hahah. Michael, our guide thru the evening, added so much to the value of the night. Regards, Geraldine and Dick Markus

We went to House of Cards for my birthday. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. The food is extremely expensive but I think some of that cost is to pay for the magician. My family ordered steaks and a filet mignon. They said it was very good. I ordered the butternut squash vegetarian dish. It was good but not my favorite vegetarian dish I have ever had. A bit too salty so I did not eat it all. We had a really good bottle of Cabernet red wine. All in all I think we paid $750 for 5 people so be prepared for that. The magician was pretty good as well. We had a wonderful night overall. Every staff member we spoke to was polite and friendly. The ambiance was nice as well.

Great atmosphere, impeccable service. The food wasn’t the best steakhouse I’ve ever been too- but wasn’t bad. The shrimp cocktail was fresh, the cocktails were good- might have been better for a spot like this to have a mixologist on staff. The bread was amazing- however the truffle butter was over powering. Ordered a burger, bun was cheap- need to step up the bun and cheese game. The fries weren’t fresh cut, no onion rings on the menu- this is a steak house! In my party we ordered 2 different steaks and two sides. Corn bread wasn’t done all the way though, was soggy and underdone in center, creamed spinach was served in a small square bowl slopped on the side. Minor presentation things to work on. The salads we ordered weren’t show stoppers bacon bits from the freezer not lardons tossed in an abundance of dressing- instead of served on the side. Ordered the Freddie and the wedge. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great- but this spot didn’t earn my seal of approval to return or send people their way.

We had an early dinner 4:00 so we could get to a concert. Our server, Nikki, was excellent. The couple meeting us was delayed due to traffic. We did not feel rushed at all and we were allowed to be seated and wait for our friends. We ordered the filets with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Excellent! Also the shrimp linguine which was excellent! Very enjoyable dining experience!

Enjoyed the Peloached Pear. Australian Wagyu was delicious and totally worth the price difference from the filet (which my daughter got so we could compare). Brussel sprouts were phenomenal. Chocolate cake isn't too sweet / rich; a good balance. Definitely want to come back to try more items. Cocktails looked great. Music was nice, and the service was great as well.
