June Wine Bar

On our lists of the best romantic restaurants and cozy restaurants in New York.

Natural wine, mostly European and light on intervention, is the draw at this Cobble Hill bar, poured under a central arch strung with orbs of light. The kitchen keeps small plates cheap enough that four dishes make a real meal for two: an acorn squash flatbread, pork meatballs, gnocchi with roasted carrots. Curved bloodred booths and a marble bar with glasses hanging overhead give the room a vintage Parisian feel, though tables sit close enough together that the back patio is the better bet in warm weather.
