Quhnia:
Though the name is Polish for “kitchen,” Quhnia does not disappoint in the bar department either. The wine list here is almost as exhaustive as your friend’s attempts to prove they know something about wine beyond what they picked up from the movie Sideways. Quhnia also serves up a variety of martini concoctions, including the “Perfect Love Martini.” Seriously. If you have found love beyond booze, this cozy restaurant/bar is the perfect date spot. There is a full dinner menu as well as brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, so you can both take her out to dinner and then, if things go well, bring her back the next morning.
