Is this a good place for a romantic date to bring your wife who is visiting PA for the first time??

Yes. Expensive.

Ask to sit by fireplace

Yes!! Reserve the table by the fireplace!!

Yes, I don't mind expense when food is good, and the building has historic charm

Definitely. I've been going there for over 20 years and never been let down once in any respect.

I wouldn't say it is romantic but the atmosphere is nice.
