Date night around here runs from rooftop oysters to a genuine 19th-century castle. These are dinners worth dressing up for, at several price levels and in four different towns — reservations recommended at most of them.
Seasonal menus from Mohawk Valley farms in the restored Hieber Building.
Oysters and prime steaks on the Landmarc rooftop, with floor-to-ceiling views over downtown.
Dinner inside an 1860s limestone castle east of Little Falls — worth the drive for anniversaries, with the cellar Dungeon bar for a nightcap.
White-tablecloth French cooking in Little Falls' Canal Place, with overnight suites upstairs if you want to make an evening of it.
Steaks, seafood and cocktails on Clinton's green, with chef's-bar seating for two.
Dry-aged Prime steaks on Turning Stone's penthouse floor, piano bar included. Dress code applies.
Charcuterie, cocktails and live-music nights on West Dominick Street, near the Capitol Theatre.
Estate wine flights with a bistro menu and outdoor seating — a slower, warm-weather kind of date.
