Listen
If you’re wondering where to take your date for Valentine’s Day — or just need somewhere good for date night in general — our local food writers discuss their favorite places around the city for such an occasion in this month’s installment of The Full Menu.
In the audio above, we hear from Eric Sandler of CultureMap Houston, Felice Sloan of the Swanky Maven lifestyle blog, and David Leftwich of Houston Food Finder.
Along with the restaurant recommendations (listed below), our foodies also offered up some general tips on how to pick a good place for a date night (or day):
- Go somewhere you like and feel comfortable at
- Don't pick a place that's very loud — you want to be able to talk to each other
- Aim for diversity of options on the menu, unless your date has a particular kind of cuisine in mind
- If you're a parent of a kid who has a lot going on, you might find yourself with an opportunity for an impromptu date night — find a place you can get into on short notice
- Go fancy if you want to, but don't feel like you have to especially for "getting to know you" dates
