My understanding is that the one on prince/sullivan that is not the sushi place is colloquially called Blue Ribbon Brasserie - the bakery is over in the village near bleeker street, right?

Oh I see, I call that one Blue Ribbon. Good stuff - but I prefer Bakery and Sushi

Telepan is worth a visit. I steered clear of pointing you in that direction previously because I wouldnt classify it as intimate/romantic though the room and decor is plenty pleasant. Bill Telepan is a big proponent of the greenmarket, I would put him in the same camp as Barber/Frazier/Hoffman. Actually, there are quite a few similarities between Telepan and Dovetail with the former being a bit more expensive and serious food-wise.

Enjoy!

The biggest difference between the two, in my experience, has been the service. It is consistently much better at Dovetail. I enjoy Telepan and go there a few times a year, but I have had more than one frustrating experience due to poor service. Never had a problem at Dovetail.

Other than Salumeria Rosi, I don't find much reason to go to the UWS. Dovetail has a nice Sunday Supper deal. Telepan is pleasant enough. Old standbys include Bar Boulud and Cafe Fiorello.

The most interesting new place on the UWS is Lincoln but I haven't tried it. Here is the review.

If this is UWS, then so is lunch at Jean George and the rest of the wonderful Columbus Circle options (A Voce, Masa, Per Se, Marea, etc.)

OP was looking for smaller quieter places, not the big names.

Brooklyn diner if you are looking for traditional fare, although on the higher end. I like the fried polenta they serve instead of home fries.
