We like to go to Funky Door as a girl's dinner or date night. They have a great wine selection and a unique food menu. They offer indoor dining as well as patio seating and often have live music. They have good Fondues to choose from and are always a favorite. They do take reservations, and I would recommend having one on a weekend night.
