Are you looking for a restaurant where you can enjoy a romantic dinner in San Antonio? How about checking out a few of these spots:
A romantic dinner along the River Walk is not hard to achieve. The scenery alone along the River Walk almost makes eating at Johnny Rockets romantic. But if you desire something more elegant than fast food, Las Canarias offers some of the finest dining San Antonio has to offer. Located inside the La Mansion Hotel, the restaurant consists of three levels with indoor and outdoor courtyard and veranda dining. They serve international food with a southwestern vibe. Some of their signature items are roasted rack of lamb with organic potato-mustard green dauphinoise and buffalo carpaccio with herbed quinoa. In addition to the scenery and good food, expect classical music and attentive service.
If you are in the mood for a formal romantic dinner that lingers with magnificent food, Le Reve is the spot. This upscale French restaurant is softly lit with candles and small in size giving it an intimate feel. Le Reve offers a chefs tasting menu excellently paired with wine. You should expect your meal to last three hours. And if you love food and your date, expect to enjoy every minute of it.
For something cozy and unexpected along the River Walk, you might try Dolores del Rio Ristorante. This hole-in-the-wall serves Italian food by candlelight, jazz, and belly dancing. The atmosphere is intimate and unusual; and makes for an interesting romantic dinner.
Acenar provides outdoor dining overlooking the River Walk without the high prices and formal ways of places such as Las Canarias. But even if this restaurant was not located along the River Walk, I would still consider it a good spot to have a romantic dinner. Acenar has a comfortable atmosphere with modern, colorful décor, and nice seating. They serve Tex-Mex that is not too expensive, with entrees ranging from $12 to $30, and good margaritas. If your idea of romance involves drinks and dancing as well as a romantic dinner, try their Atomar Bar. In general, Acenar is a cool place for a romantic dinner.
If you’re seeking outdoor dining for a romantic dinner, Crumpets Restaurant & Bakery has a nice patio to dine on situated among oak trees and waterfalls. Their menu consists of entrees such as Rosemary Chicken, Veal Champagne, Fettuccine, Fresh Salmon, Rack of Lamb, and Tenderloin of Beef. Be sure to have dessert!
Circa 1900 has a fancy atmosphere to savor a romantic dinner. The French restaurant is full of art and antiques, most of which are for purchase. It’s the richness of the atmosphere that makes Circa 1900 stand out, but the food is also good. In addition to the dining area, they have a bar with music and dancing.
For something rustic and romantic, consider The Lodge Restaurant of Castle Hills. The Lodge is a restaurant located in what used to be someone’s home, so it naturally has an inviting atmosphere. And the landscaping surrounding the home is gorgeous. I recommend choosing the chefs tasting menu for the best experience.
Looking for something a little exotic for your romantic dinner? Try Tong’s Thai. The Asian restaurant has a laid-back, intimate atmosphere. Their menu consists mainly of northern Thai food at reasonable prices. As a meal suggestion, if you like something a little spicy, order the Haw-Mak. And if you have never had one, order a bubble tea to drink.
To experience an amazing view of something other than water, trees, and decorations, look no further than Eyes over Texas :The Tower of the Americas Restaurant. This restaurant is hundreds of feet in the sky, and revolves, giving you a fantastic view of San Antonio. The view is perfect for a romantic dinner.
