The Dallas area has great things to do. First of all, Good for your on making a date night. We believe it is a priority and we never miss a weekly date night. It is easier now since daughter is 17 and she is now a sitter. Boy, for many years, we were paying $60-$80 a week just for our date night sitter but it is well worth it!!
What do you like to do? We love fine dining and great wine. Some of our favorite restaurants for dinner are.... III Forks (more of a country atmosphere), Del Frisco's (more of a country club atmos[here), Ruth Chris (love the sizzling steak), Lawry's Prime Rib, Fogo de Chau in Addison (great salad bar and lot of different cuts of meats to try), Melting Pot in Addison.
The knox/Henderson area is very nice, around the Katy Trail. Uptown is good as well.
We enjoy sporting events, concerts at Fair Park, Bass Hall, AA Center
We love the festivals that start in the spring.. The Wildflower festival in May is a favorite. It is in telecom valley in Richardson.
Sometimes I just tag along with hubby and he plays a round of golf then we dine afterwards.
We are not big movie buffs but Studio Movie Grill is fun. There are some Indie film places at inwood (I believe it is still there) and the Anjelica is nice.
Shops of Legacy in Plano at the tollway and legacy has a lot of good places, Sambuca 360, Jasper's, Seasons 52 restaurant..
Sometimes it is nice to just sit quietly somewhere like the Arboretum and overlook the lake and enjoy scenery.
We are people watchers too and have a good time with that. No matter what you choose, just enjoy being together and having your date time.
