We did it and my wife still remarks about it and I'm still enjoying the "extra points" I scored for the romantic gesture. There were 100 candles the night we ate, my wife counted for fun before we left, I was seeing double so I was no help! We also tipped at the end, our waitress (Im so sorry I forgot her name) was spectacular, I gave her $40. Sorry I can't help on the taxi price, we were staying there when we did it.
