    We had the perfect Valentine's Day experience at Renee's on Valentine's Day. For this special occasion, they required a reservation and pre payment of $100 for two of us, which seemed reasonable to me. Our table, a booth, was toward the quiet back of the restaurant and was very private, which we liked. The relaxing dinner included salad (he had spinach/goat cheese, I had Caprese), a main entree which we chose (chicken breast with zucchini noodles and sun dried tomatoes (excellent!), a glass of wine, and a dessert to split. It was a beautiful evening with excellent food, and we were reminded of how a visit to a small, quiet restaurant like Renee's feeds our souls as well as our bodies.

    I wouldn't want to be a server at Piazza Gavi on Valentine's Day, but Jonathon was great juggling I don't know how many tables. And the place was jammed even at 4:00 in the afternoon. And noisy. But Johnathon remained fiendly, knowledgeable and efficient. And the food, as always, is top-notch. It's not on the menu, but if you ask for the Pork Fior De Latte, you will not be disappointed, and there's enough to take home for a second meal. Gavi is very much our spot for Valentine's Day every year.

    It was a very busy night, but the outdoor patio dining with those heaters and the quietness. It was great ambience. The service was a little slow, but our server was amazing. Her name is daily and she was very good at providing for our needs even when the bartender was slow with our drinks . The food was delicious
