Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Belleville

LOVE Bondst. My favorite Japanese resto in NYC 25 years and counting. And I love how they take care of their regulars. Best order... Yuzu Martini, crab salad, tuna crispy rice, spicy crispy shrimp, chicken katsu bao, miso sea bass skewers, and chocolate lava cake.

We traveled from St. Louis for a romantic dinner at One If By Land, Two If By Sea, and it truly exceeded our expectations! We opted for the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing, and every course was nothing short of phenomenal. Having experienced many fine dining tasting menus before, we can confidently say this was one of the best meals we've ever experienced — start to finish. Each dish was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, and the portions were impressively generous. Our server, Sasha, provided exceptional service, attending to our needs throughout the evening. The restaurant’s ambiance was perfectly romantic, creating the ideal setting for our special night. We wholeheartedly recommend One If By Land, Two If By Sea to anyone seeking an unforgettable evening out!

The pre-theater menu was excellent, I had grilled octopus, hake with broccoli rabe, and sorbet for dessert with the wine pairing. Our sommelier Matthew was fun and informative, offering novel combinations including a mellon liquer with dessert. Oceana is a great alternative to restaurants that are closer to the monster shows but don't offer much novelty or interest for me. We will return!

All around wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8:00 but found our schedule changed a bit and we hoped to eat earlier. We stopped by the restaurant at 6:30 to see if they could seat us sooner, and they prepared a table for us right away. At the same time, I heard another guest ask the host how soon they could be seated without a reservation, and she was told the wait was 90 minutes! We felt like VIPs! The service, the food, and the ambience were all incredible. Our water glasses were never empty. Our food was delivered in the ideal time. Everything was delicious. We love the family-style menu that let all of us share and taste several entrees. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. We look forward to returning!

Celebrated my son's 30th birthday there. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Menu was creative. Food quality and portion size was excellent.
