"That's so cool!" said Peggy Falk, one of the cafe managers. "We are romantic. You know, it is. First of all, we have this lovely, low highlighting. We have candles at every table at night. We have a romantic old building, with low ceilings that make it so cosy. There are a couple of tables that are very intimate. Our staff is fabulous, we bend over backwards for people. We give them special attention without hovering. It's like a little club."

Elizabeth's is mostly sold out for Valentine's Day, on Tuesday, but they did have just a few more openings as of noon on Monday, around 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
