| - Player's was the place all the boys took me in highschool when we wanted to go on "fancy dates." Ok, so it was just one boy, and he worked there so he got a huge discount, but still.
This place is pricey, but the incredible creativity of the chefs is worth the check. One of my favorite meals there was several years ago, when the Chef listed "A Study in Mushrooms" on the menu. What followed was an incredibly gourmet assortment of risotto, ravioli, and other small plates, all featuring perfectly prepared varieties of mushroom.
For the cost-conscious, the make your own pasta and pizza menu option can be pretty inexpensive, though once you see the list of toppings, it's also easy to drop a ton of cash for fresh goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and other ingredients to spice up your pie.
Another great way to enjoy this restaurant is to go for dessert and a drink. Their bartenders are incredible, their wine list impeccable, and the daily creme brulees and cheesecakes tempting. However, I always order the same dessert any time I am there: Coffee and Doughnuts. Fresh homemade doughnuts, hot and crispy and straight from the deep fryer, are sprinkled with powdered sugar and a drizzle of dark chocolate syrup, then topped with homemade coffee gelato. WOW. Perfection.
