Key Points:
- The author and her husband share a January 12 birthday and face challenges in choosing a restaurant due to differing tastes and the typically dreary January atmosphere.
- They prefer restaurants that are neither too loud nor too dim, take reservations, and avoid pretentious or overly trendy dining experiences.
- Recommended restaurants that satisfy both include Little Donkey for creative small plates, Moëca for seafood-inflected pasta with a neighborhood vibe, Sarma for diverse Mediterranean small plates, Uni for a blend of sushi and meat dishes, and Sichuan Gourmet for comforting, spicy Chinese cuisine.
- These venues offer a balance of flavors and atmospheres that accommodate both the author’s love of cheese, sushi, and rich foods and her husband’s preference for meat
