Date Night Review Few restaurants glow with the kind of warmth one finds at Fontaine. At night, mini-lamps hanging overhead cast a golden light over the cozy dining room (and your dinner partner). Conversation is easy over the clink of wine glasses. It's a pleasant space. The temptation is to order dessert first. Simple, street cart-style crepes pair lemon cream with powdered sugar or Nutella with strawberries. The more indulgent ones include caramelized fruits, chocolate and/or ice cream. But don't write off a full dinner here just because it'll be wrapped in a pastry shell. Some of the savory crepes prove to be very filling, such as a hearty veggie-friendly number with eggplant, mozzarella and tomato sauce, which is an occasional special. My favorite dish is perhaps the most simple: a fold of ham, cheese and sauteed mushrooms. -- Julia Beizer (Feb. 19, 2010)
