The fact that Lakewood doesn't have many restaurants, doesn't make Ottimo recommended for someone who's

Ummmm. So you're advice to him then is not to go out? And ottimo has pretty standard cafe cafe prices. What would you consider not a lot for a restaurant? $20 for a meal or two?

Looking at the menu, the average check would be at least $60+. Add tax and tip and you hit $70+.
That's cheap?

ETA: Forgot about tax and tip

Which place would be recommended to go out to dinner with my wife. Not looking to pay tons, but some decent food in a nice atmosphere? Want to stay in Lakewood proper, to to limited babysitting time for the kids.
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I want a fleishig place, and I'm looking at an upgrade over Glattbite/Dlux.
What are my choices? Reserve/Entree/ Yussis Grill? Which should I go to for decent food and waiter service?

reserve is the most$$$$. entree will go for about $60 but seems to be a great place. (was never there but i know people that went.) Yussies is good but no waiter service. on the other hand its half the price of the other places.

Reserve is ridiculous .

It won't be very romantic because the tables are four seats. They put some flowers in between the two couples.

+1
I would never pay top dollar to sit with another couple again. Besides that, they messed up my order, and the food wasn't too great.
