Il Corvo, Canlis, Junebaby, and More, Now on The Resy Hit List

Because there’s a line at this lunch-only restaurant for a reason. With a simple, daily-changing menu of three pastas, salad, prosciutto di Parma, and focaccia, less is most definitely more here. Order first; then find a seat.

Walk-ins only.

Because there’s no better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, than with a romantic meal surrounded by views of the Sound. Maximillien will be marking the occasion with a six-course menu that includes special dishes (think caviar and potato blinis, butter-poached Maine lobster tail, salt-crusted and roasted beef tenderloin, and espresso-and-caramel flan), accompanied by live accordion.

Because with its fine dining mainstay and complementary casual lounge, there is something for everyone at The Butcher’s Table. At this sleek steakhouse, diners can opt for premium steaks, like Mishima Reserve Wagyu in the dining room, or savory sandwiches in the lounge.

Because the inaugural city location for this fast-growing Eastside restaurant fills a gap in the Chinese food scene. Hard-to-find Shanghainese dishes (think spicy beef pancake roll, pan-fried chive dumplings, and xiaolong bao—soup dumplings) are the coveted mainstay here.

Because while the Valentine’s Day dinner at Canlis is unsurprisingly sold out, there are still many days in the month to celebrate love.

Because this specialty cafe meets boutique grocery will awaken your senses and transport you to a calming, beautiful place. Savor the delight of the ethereal surroundings, while enjoying a handmade croissant and coffee or a soup and salad.

Because with its twinkly ambience and classic Italian dishes, dinner at The Pink Door is a special experience.
