I'll add Tarantino also in Podil (excellent Veal).
Tarantino is a favorite of mine (with Kanapa, also in Podil). Excellent food quality, relaxing and enjoyable "posh" atmosphere - and as a cigar smoker I especially appreciate the terrace. If you're with a date, she will love it. Not for tight budgets though.
BTW same street, you have another great seafood restaurant, Ryba v Vogni (a seafood "posh" trattoria), opened two years ago by the owner of Steakhouse in Odessa. Not cheap also, but excellent.

I hung out with nola at Tarantino's, and it is definitely the best food I had in Kiev. Steaks were as good as anything I've had in the States. Also as a casual cigar smoker, they've got a smoking terrace out back past the grill through a back room. The staff use it for smoke breaks, but the bartender let me back there while I was there eating dinner. It's got a killer view of the street.
As for Moldova, I can confirm that there is some definite talent out on the streets in Chisnau. This place has got a lot of possibilities, and the women don't have anything like the princess complexes that you find in Ukraine. They don't act like they are the next prima ballerina of the Moscow Ballet.
