Best Romantic Restaurants in Grosse Pointe Park

The Bronze Door has recently changed its menu (and, we think, their chef) and it's a great improvement. The $20 burgers are now $16, which is a better match to Grosse Pointe's well-to-do but stingy restaurant goers. Mains and sides have also been re-priced to fit our market. Our family members very much liked the chicken piccata, the scallops with risotto and the steak Diane. The truffle parmesan fries were a big hit for sharing. Unfortunately, my wife chose the white bean chicken chili for a light meal. The server described it as not spicy, which was a mistake, because it was so spicy that my wife could only eat a tiny portion. When I tasted it, I found the spice level moderate to strong and, more importantly, the flavor of chiles was so intense that it deserved a warning label for those who are not very fond of them. (The chili did have good taste, so my wife saved the rest of it and will try it again, but only after thinning it out with sour cream.) In general, the food and service are very good, so we will dine here again, but we will order more cautiously. The beverage menu could stand improvement. I would have liked to see a draft stout or porter, or a Belgian-style beer (Chimay, Duvel, False Dawn, Fin du Monde), but no luck. I searched in vain for a glass of fruity Italian red (Montepulciano or Sangiovese) or a Malbec. I settled on a glass of Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux, a delicious brut that is a favorite of my Brit friends, who enjoy its Champagne quality without the Champagne price tag. The restaurant is wise to offer it in addition to prosecco, a bubbly that for me is too bland. My tablemates seemed happy with the expresso martini, a Chardonnay and a Cabernet. We will return!

Great meal and good music! A little too much kitchen noise when sitting in the back.

Our server, JB was so nice. She gave great recommendations; she was so down to earth and attentive. The food was outstanding and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere was relaxed, but they could probably use warmer lighting. The drinks were just okay for the price. I would visit again, especially for carry out.
