Newly opened White Olive is offering the flavors of the Mediterranean for that special night – think Shrimp Saganaki, Trenette Pasta with hints of truffle oil, and filet mignon with hollandaise sauce.

The French certainly know the art of romance.  At La Goulue there is lobster ravioli, ahi tuna with wasabi miso dressing, and Rohan duck with roasted figs. Dessert brings profiteroles with chocolate sauce for sharing.
