replying to u/MycologyxSlut: King is another intimate/romantic space with consistently great food, the owner of Lei is also co-owner there. But like Lei, I recommend an early in the evening rsv, I find both spots so loud. Like have to scream to my dinner companion loud.

replying to u/omjy18: If youre looking for wine specifically lei is a new place that opened on doyer street. Cool stree to take them too because its an iconic little street and lei is awesome for wine. Super small place so id make a reservation but great small bites and a solid wine list. Id stick to doing bottles not by the glass because the bottles are more interesting and not all that expensive
