About

My go-to place for a romantic date night in Cathedral Hill, W. A. Frost and Company offers a historic setting with low-lighting and an ivy-covered patio. It's women-led and serves casual upscale American cuisine with Mediterranean and European influences. The award-winning wine cellar and wood-burning fireplace add to its charm.

This spot draws a mixed gay-straight crowd, especially after work. Reservations are recommended, and the patio is a highlight in summer. It's a great date spot, but also works for a relaxed evening with friends.

Located in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill area, the restaurant occupies a historic building with a cozy, intimate vibe.

From the community

This is my usual choice for a romantic evening in Cathedral Hill. I really enjoy the dim lighting and historic setting. Entering the bar feels like going back in time. The patio, covered with ivy, is beautiful in summer, and the wood-burning fireplace is ideal when it's cold. The wine list is excellent, it's good for dates, the atmosphere is pleasant, and I'd suggest making a reservation. The food is delicious.
