Best romantic dinner? - The DIS Discussion Forums

jennyopenny · 10-02-2009, 07:13 PM

My mom is traveling with us. I would like to let her keep the kids one night, and go to a nice dinner with the hubby.
What do you suggest?

Jiko's the one you want.

Gotta try the flatbreads.

& Alberts is the prime location. After that I prefer Artist Point for atmosphere and California Grill or Jiko for food and/or atmosphere.

KristiMc · 10-02-2009, 08:43 PM

Victoria & Albert's

Cheshire Figment · 10-02-2009, 08:47 PM

Victoria and Albert's!
No other option

jennyopenny · 10-02-2009, 09:38 PM

Something tells me I need to go look up Victoria and Albert's.

jlewisinsyr · 10-02-2009, 09:48 PM

Victoria and Alberts is the high end option, dress code is strictly enforced and kids are not allowed, which is a good thing. After that my next recommendation would be Jiko followed by Citricos then Narcossees or California Grill. Unfortunately what California Grill offers in view suffers from average food (used to be VERY good, but IMO has gone down more then the other restaraunts).

For romantic, Narcoossees with a window seat!

Tricia1972 · 10-02-2009, 10:02 PM

Victoria & Albert's is by far my first choice. If I had to choose a second place it would be Jiko.

1) Most of the restaurants mentioned are NOT romantic.
2) In fact, any eatery that accepts DDP is not romantic.
. . . usually loud kids, sometimes even running around tables
. . . adults that do not know how to act during fine dining
. . . noisy atmosphere
3) Take an eatery not on DDP, but also not in DTD.
4) In order of price and atmosphere,
. . . Victoria & Albert's (no kids 10 and under, no kid's menu)
. . . Bistro de Paris (no kid's menu)
. . . Shula's
. . . Il Mulino

We went in May for DH's birthday and left the kids with grandma! Artist Point had very nice atmosphere and excellent food. It was not busy that night and there were no kids around, our table was very quiet. We did have a server who was a bit overbearing but overall a very nice meal. Jiko two nights later was busy and we had to wait 30 min past our ADR to be seated. A family with two kids under age 3 sat across the aisle from us. Service was great, food was Excellent (with a capital E!). The kids were not too unruly but a little distracting. So to sum it up, the atmosphere will likely depend on the luck of the draw with your seating, unless you follow the Scupper's advice

LoraJ · 10-03-2009, 11:52 PM

Jiko!

cbg1027 · 10-04-2009, 04:05 AM
