Sometimes you just need a fun dinner with your favorite person to erase your cares and de-stress. And while there are plenty of options in The City Beautiful for dining, some are more suitable for that weekend date night. So, the next time you’re planning a night out with your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, keep some of these places in mind! And if you’re looking for some extra glam for your date night outfit head to RocksBox to rent some designer jewels! We’re obsessed.
Okay back to food, here’s our picks for the best date night spots in town!
- Hillstone: I’ve always enjoyed Hillstone for its food, but also for the notable atmosphere. Step outside and you will find a seating area unmatched by any other local restaurant. The outdoor seating is on the edge of Lake Killarney and is filled with an herb garden and Adirondack chairs perfect for wine and conversation. The sunsets here are unbelievable and you can even reserve the dining dock that overlooks the lake.
- Prato: Unhealthy as it is, I’ve always had a pizza obsession. There’s something about the cheesy, baked bread goodness that always makes my belly happy. The pizza at Prato is uniquely different as the pizza oven was handcrafted in Italy under the direction of Prato’s Chef! My personal favorite is the Widowmaker with caciocavallo cheese, romesco sauce, fennel sausage and a farm egg baked into the center. Go for the pizza, stay for the dessert.
- Scratch: Looking for something a little more low-key? Head to scratch for a delightful tapas and wine experience. The funky vibe and low lighting is perfect for a delightful evening filled with yummy bites and sips. For more on our experience, click here.
There you have it, a short and sweet list of our go-to date night spots!
