Things to Consider when Choosing a Restaurant for a Date

Blog

When you are trying to choose a restaurant for your date, there are several things to consider. Here is some advice on choosing the best restaurant for your date!

Location

Often, people will want to go somewhere where they feel comfortable. If this is the case with your date, try going to a local place one of you has visited before. If neither of you has been there before, be sure to look it up online and read reviews so you'll know what kind of atmosphere the restaurant has and how good the food is. In general, though, when you're just getting started dating someone new, try going somewhere that's nice but casual enough that you won't be stressed out. If you're looking for something really nice, try going to a restaurant in your area that is considered "fine dining." If you can afford it, this will help set the mood for a romantic night with your date.

Menu

When you are choosing a restaurant with your date, make sure that the menu has something for both of you to enjoy. You may want to think about talking about food before the big night, so if one of you can't eat most of what's on a certain menu, it'll be easier to choose somewhere else. However, if neither of you has any dietary restrictions or preferences, then just pick out a place that sounds good! Depending on what type of food your partner likes, there are many options for a restaurant date. However, you may wish to think about how easy some dishes are to eat and how romantic they are. For example, if you are not good at using chopsticks, you may want to avoid a Japanese restaurant. Also, if you hope to kiss your date, you may wish to avoid spicy foods such as curry.

Price

For the most part, it's probably best to choose somewhere that you can both afford. You don't want to put the person you are dating in an awkward position where they need to order something super cheap or, even worse, not be able to afford dinner at all!

Sitting Down vs Take Out

This is where it really depends on what kind of mood you want to set. If your date isn't comfortable in nice restaurants, maybe they would prefer sitting down but take out maybe even nicer for them. Alternatively, if your date likes casual venues, then getting take out from a restaurant might help keep things low key while still being nice.

Choosing a fine dining restaurant

When I decided to ask my girlfriend to marry me, I of course wanted the night to be really special. I knew she wanted to have a full movie proposal where we go to a fine dining restaurant, eat great meals and then have me get down on one knee and ask her to marry me. I checked which restaurants offered that kind of service and I even gathered some pictures from her favourite movie so I can get a place that perfectly matches what she was after. I ended up making this the perfect night. This blog is all about finding fine dining restaurants for the special dinners in your life.
