As far as date ideas go, a dinner date has been a classic date choice for as long as can be remembered. It can be said the first date ever was a dinner date. There was once this guy Adam who took this girl Eve on a garden date to try these fantastic apples she was raving about…but seriously, dinner dates have been popular for generations for good reason.
First, sitting down to share food together is a pleasurable activity which engages the senses. Secondly, sharing the experience with your date places both of you in a positive mood. Thirdly, depending on where you go for dinner the atmosphere can create opportunities for conversation, fun and romance.
When planning your dinner date, it’s important to know what type of mood you are trying to create on your date. Is this a casual date where you are just getting to know each other and have some laughs? Or is this a special date where you want to pull out all the stops and show her a luxurious and elegant night on the town? Either way there are many options around Hawaii for whatever strikes your fancy.
If you are looking for an informal atmosphere for a fun and low key date, but still want to go to a place that isn’t too casual, try Basalt located in Waikiki at Dukes Lane . The restaurant has a modern contemporary look with a full bar and great menu and service. It is a relaxed venue but it’s surroundings are lively with a fun vibe without being overly touristy or loud. There are specialty food shops around the restaurant worth browsing through either before or after dinner which feature fine wines and liquor from around the world as well as italian gourmet foods in the market.
If you are looking for restaurant with an ocean view that is still comfortable and casual but offering a feel of a fine dining experience, try the Hula Grill at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. Ask for a table on the outdoor lanai with its incredible ocean view. If you go during sunset you will be rewarded with a spectacular pastel colored skyline while the sun is swallowed by the sea. The tiki torches and swaying palm trees all add to the romantic ambiance here. The food is wonderful and the bartenders here know how to make great cocktails.
If you are interested in a dinner date with music, there is the world famous, Blue Note jazz club also located at the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. This is the place to go if you and your date enjoy world class jazz entertainment inside a state of the art restaurant and jazz club. The venue provides dinner and drinks and the decor is very modern. With the lights turned down low, candle lit tables, and the neon bluish hue of the club
lights, the venue exudes romance. With an elegant vibe, if you want a place to dress nice and sit down in a New York style jazz supper club, this is the place for you. You will forget you are in Waikiki.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you and your date want to go to a live jazz venue that is more casual and laid back, go to Jazz Minds. This place is less jazz supper club and more of a real jazz joint--and i mean that in the best way! The crowd here is fun with a love for jazz. Classic jazz photographs line the brick walls. There is a full bar, tasty Japanese food menu reminiscent of classic Japanese kissaten cafes, and a full sushi bar as well. A very cool and fun place to take a date for dinner, cocktails and great live jazz.
If you want to take her to a restaurant that radiates class, elegance and romance, look no further than 53 by the Sea. Entering this restaurant with its palatial style decor and majestic staircase, one cannot help but be swept away by its ambiance. The table settings here are formal. The ocean views of Waikiki are stunning. They also have private dining rooms available in the upper floors if you ask in advance. This restaurant can be on the high end of price. Dress code is enforced and appropriate dinner attire is required. With a full bar (that includes fine wines and whiskey tasting flights), and with beautifully plated and masterfully prepared dishes, you and your date will have a memorable experience here.
