Romantic Places to dine

How about 210 Clover Lane?

Always nice.

211, actually, but 210 is close enough to find it.

Grrrrrr, I was just there last week too.

OK, I want another chance, The Mayan Cafe. One of our favorites and romantic too, especially on a weekday evening without a crowd there.

Good one! Agreed on all counts ... and when the weather is nice, they've got a nice little off-the-street patio on one side.

Melillo's on East Market, a different kind of romance, maybe, but a lovable family-Italian place with a fun outdoor dining area if you like that, and very affordable prices.

Not sure if its still going on, but didnt they have a Wednesday date night thing? Fifty dollars for two entree ,dessert, and wine.

I think Amici's has a nice romantic atmosphere and is easy on the wallet.

If money is the object then go to one of our city's finer food stores like Lotsa Pasta or Whole Paycheck UM I meant Whole Foods and pack a picnic dinner!

From a female perspective, I highly recommend Dan's suggestion. Some of our most romantic dinners/lunches have been gourmet picnics. For my last birthday, Brian made a spectacular picnic with fine cheese, grilled portobello mushroom sandwiches, some appetizers, some wine and Helen's cheesecake. We have a fancy picnic basket (a wedding present) and really enjoy the time away together. Our two fav spots for this are one of the little used areas of Cherokee Park and Hidden Hill. If you haven't been there, it's Bob Hill's place in Utica, Indiana, which has acres of fantastic gardens, garden whimsy and sculptures thruout, along with a nursery and garden shop. A nice country drive (about 30 minutes). It's free and they encourage picnicing.

To piggyback off this idea and reference a recent thread, I think some of the nicest places for picnics are the local wineries. Equus Run has some land near Elkhorn Creek, far from the tour areas, that would be perfect for a picnic. I'm sure a number of the other wineries, knowing their general location, would be beautiful as well. Bernheim, although not a winery, is also a personal favorite. The nice thing about a picnic is it easily turns into an all-day affair (add the winery tour, do a hike at Bernheim, etc.). Although I like my romantic dinners, I like full days spent together more.
