Shan

"Cobble Hill isn’t exactly known for its Sichuan food, but the folks behind Shan are great ambassadors for the cuisine. You can go casual or fancy with your food here. We usually save the shredded duck fried rice and green peppercorn fish for take-home meals in our sweatpants. Eating inside the restaurant itself—with its deep blue color scheme and soft pendant lamp lighting—feels a touch more formal, and you should order accordingly. Their lobster mapo, black pepper wagyu, and black truffle soup dumplings can all take date night up a notch. Try and sit at one of the tables across from the bar, where you can get a view of the Mount Gongga mural glowing behind the bartender. photo credit: Kevin Li" - Neha Talreja
