A romantic dinner by a roaring fire is best enjoyed in a restaurant and not around the neighbor's emblazoned wicker man. Retain your amorous appetite with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of fine eclectic cuisine at Eclipse Restaurant in Northampton.

Eclipse Restaurant, whose interior glimmers under the warm lights affixed to elegantly exposed brick walls, stores a menu of fine eclectic fare built with locally acquired ingredients. Properly warm up cuisine-processing apparatuses with a first-course plate of crimmini mushrooms sautéed with a synthesis of garlic, red wine, fresh herbs, and duck stock ($10). A citrusy glass of Chilean sauvignon blanc ($7) can be coupled with an entree of deep-dish quiche, which unites a cavalcade of peppers, caramelized onions, aged cheddar, and mushrooms in a puffy pastry crust ($16), or chicken francaise, a collection of garlic, caper, lemon, and white wine on a boneless, egg-battered chicken breast.

Eclipse Restaurant also facilitates merriment with live music Friday and Saturday nights, starting with soft jazz and playing firm jazz later in the night.

• Plenty of local restaurants serve Chicken Francaise, but none do it better than Eclipse.– Fran Bellamy, Republican
• The tender raviolis were filled with - besides little duck hearts - celery root puree, braised romaine, and pecorino cheese. It was delicately sauced with a duck demi glacé. Even though it was our third tasting, I savored every bite. – Lucy Pickett and Lou Groccia, Daily Hampshire Gazette
