Four - atmosphere - i.e. NO loud music, music preferably instrumental
only
Five - ample parking

My fave local resto is run by a couple, he's in the kitchen, she waits
and cashiers, and one other waitress. Italian and Spanish dishes. A
little Ital. music, barely heard. CLOTH on the table. Small - probl
seats no more than 40 without squeezing. Never feel rushed to leave.
Reservations accepted.
Dim lighting, so you don't look 101.
Dinner for two with wine usually hits about 45 dollars. Portions are
generous, so that I usually bring enough home for lunch the next day.
I know ano. couple who go there ev. Sat night with two other couples,
and they drive quite a distance to be there.
