Romantic dinners offer the opportunity for you and your partner to dress up and feel nice. Women just love dressing up and the other womanly activities prior to that. One romantic idea would be to buy a gift certificate to a spa so that she can freshen up and feel relaxed before the passionate dinner for two that you are setting up. There are times when you want to feel classy and rich and a romantic dinner for two really calls for that kind of mood.

You can cook up some romantic steak dinner ideas and there is nothing better to pair steak with than wine. So you can begin your dreamy dinner with red wine which is the best match for steak, a great romantic recipe.

Yes, you can plan your dinner in a posh restaurant. Or to make your dinner ideas more romantic, you can set up a dinner in a park or at your place. The clincher in these kinds of setup is that you have to create an ambiance of romantic mood and emotions and this can be achieved by taking note of things that she is fond of. For instance, if she likes pasta, then you have to research on some romantic Italian dinner ideas, or if she loves sea food, then you can probably whip up a lobster dinner for her complete with white wine.

Do not forget the flowers. A romantic dinner would not be complete without a bouquet of roses for your significant other. Think of another pretty item besides the flowers. Also, be ready to dance after the dinner. A romantic dance for two can probably be arranged with the restaurant band, or a serenade from the local musicians would really do the trick for you.

Make sure also that you are dressed appropriately for your dinner date. Wear something that you rarely wear but make sure not to wear something that attracts too much attention. After the dinner, think of a fitting accompanying activity like watching a good movie or going to a concert where the one performing is a favorite of hers.

If you are on a tight budget, nothing beats cooking for your loved one. You have to set the stage first by making sure that your table is neatly decorated with flowers and white linen. And then cook up something that you both like to eat, something fancy yet filling. Do not forget the wine to complete the whole romantic dinner experience. And top the whole dining detail with a kiss.

Las Casitas del Colca is probably one of the most romantic hotels on the planet, let alone in Peru. Each room is enclosed in its own private 1,291 sq ft bungalow featuring a terrace with spectacular views of the pastoral, picturesque scenery. You will have your own heated plunge pool, an indoor and outdoor shower, and, as if that’s not enough, a large bathtub built under a glass roof perfect for bubbles, champagne, and candles while you stargaze. After your romantic bath, you can retreat into the large dressing room to slip into something a bit more comfortable before heading to either your spacious bedroom, or your elegant lounge featuring a romantic fireplace for keeping warm on those cold Andean nights.  The hotel itself has an exquisite spa, delicious restaurant with 5 star five-course meals, and flowered gardens all surrounded by stunning beauty.  If you can’t get a little loving here, you may as well give up.

1. Nothing beats sunset at La Palapa Restaurant on Los Muertos Beach.

3. Enjoy a social gathering unlike any other on Wednesday night’s ArtWalk. Stroll local art galleries of Puerto Vallarta beginning at 7 p.m. and be greeted with wine, and smiling faces of fellow art appreciators. A walking greet-and-meet, strangers are not shy here. Expect to meet new friends as you see works by the likes of renowned artists Cristi Larson, and Miso, a Japanese artist who resides in Puerto Vallarta only a few months every year. A gallery map of Puerto Vallarta’s Art Walk can be found at www.insidepv.com.

4. At night, the infamous Puerto Vallarta Malecon is filled with vendors, entertainers, romantic views and sounds. Countless vendors offer everything from unique arts and crafts, jewelry, and traditional Mexican foods. Enjoy mouth-watering tamales wrapped in a green palm leaves rather than the traditional corn husk. The neighboring amphitheater offers frequent concerts and theatrical performances, while mimes and local musicians speckle your path, only to be interrupted by the nightly fireworks and Puerto Vallarta’s famous Flying Birdmen who perform a death defying performance flying through the air after diving off a small platform high above the beach and swinging from a tethered pole.

5. Step just inland of Vallarta’s Malecon to the lavish De Santos and Azul nightclub who both offer rooftop lounging and romantic ambiance beneath the stars. Azul offers a fun twist to its trendy décor with a sand floor bar. De Santos offers magnificent views of the sunsets and fireworks. ZaiTai is located across the street from the Malecon, with an almost hidden entrance to a magnificent courtyard filled with nestled dining areas and a Japanese theme. Call ahead and reserve one of their ‘beds’ for your romantic evening- an actual bed enclosed by white fabric- the perfect hideaway to share a bottle of fine wine and an intimate evening in Puerto Vallarta.

The first Hooters opened October 4, 1983, in Clearwater, Florida. The casual beach-theme establishments feature Oldies jukebox music, sports on television, and a menu that includes seafood, sandwiches, salads and spicy chicken wings. Today, Hooters operates and franchises more than 450 restaurants in 43 U.S. states and 26 countries worldwide.

The element of female sex appeal is prevalent in the restaurants, and the company believes the Hooters Girl is as socially acceptable as a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader or Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Don’t worry – it’s your own homecooked romantic dinner – dress for the occasion in whatever way you want. 

>>> And now here is their most popular meal of all – HOOTERS BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS WITH HOT SAUCE AND BLEU CHEESE OR RANCH DRESSING…

–Hooters Buffalo Chicken Wings–

> Chicken Wings

10 chicken wing pieces

Vegetable oil (for frying)

1/4 cup butter

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

> Hooter’s Chicken Wing Hot Sauce

1 1/2 cup Butter (softened)

1/2 cup Tabasco Sauce

2 tablespoons Tabasco Sauce

3 tablespoons Brown Sugar

3/4 teaspoon Paprika

3/4 teaspoon Salt

1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

3/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

2 tablespoons Chili Sauce

> On the side:

Hooters Ranch Dressing or Bleu Cheese Dressing…

Celery sticks

> Preparation:

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely – an inch or so deep at least.

Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients well-blended.

Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt in a small bowl.

If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried.)

Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown.

]]>

Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain. But don’t let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.

Quickly put the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir, coating all of the wings evenly. You could also use a large plastic container with a lid for this. Put all the wings inside the container, add the sauce, put on the lid, then shake. Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.

–Hooters Ranch Dressing–

1 cup mayonnaise

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon dried thyme 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until completely mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

–Hooters Bleu Cheese Dressing–

1 cup regular mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

6 oz blue cheese

1 Tablespoon apple cider or wine vinegar

1/ 2 teaspoon pepper (optional) 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Crumble the blue cheese, and mix it all together.

Or try…

–Hooters Buffalo Shrimp–

> Buffalo Shrimp Sauce:

1/4 cup hot sauce

1/4 cup butter

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1 dash black pepper

1 dash garlic powder

Combine in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter is mixed through. Cover, and keep warm over low heat.

> Shrimp

12 uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

Combine egg and milk in a small bowl. Place flour in a large zip-type bag. Coat six of the shrimp with egg mixture, then toss them in the bag of flour and shake well to coat.

Leave these shrimp in the bag, and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp. Make sure they are all well coated with flour. Refrigerate about 5 minutes while the deep fryer heats up to 375 F.

Deep fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until shrimp tails are dark brown. Remove, drain, and toss gently with Buffalo Sauce.

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp pepper

1/4 cup hot sauce

2 tbsp butter

1/4 cup olive oil

fresh bread roll

Put coated chicken on a plate. Cover it, chill for half an hour. Medium heat the saucepan. Add hot sauce, and butter to the pan. Bring them to boil, stir. Set the pan aside.

Medium heat a pan. Add olive oil to the pan. Add coated chicken. Cook for 8 minutes, turning once.

Staying in New York and finding a great place to take your date is not a difficult task at all. New York itself is a beautiful and happening, bustling with people in the concrete jungle. Beautiful architectures, comfortable facilities and innovative strategies make New York one of the best places to hangout. Though, if you want to take your date to some of the best restaurants you should check these out:

Mr. Chow – A restaurant that is Chinese but does not look like for the first sight. You never know, who you will spot at this high end venue. You are sure to have a celebrity sighting. As far as the food is concerned, it is tasty and savory some of the favorites include delicacies like pot stickers, sliced pork with pepper, gamblers duck etc. An exclusively elite ambience and experience as well.  If you have the bucks to splurge upon your date, take your date to this place and make her feel like a celeb.

Blue Water Grill – This restaurant is spread over 31 Union Square West and is a seafood lover’s ecstasy. This place is a good option if your date is fond of seafood. The ambience of the place is pleasing and the service is excellent.  The beauty of this restaurant. It is a triple storey place with marble floors and a blend of red and gold sconces. Alcohol and wines are served also. Some of the specialties of this restaurant include the Shellfish Chateau, Pacific Northwest oysters etc. and you can also choose from prix fixe menu. This place is extremely amazing specially for couples as it creates that romantic mood with its romantic love songs, enough to create an impression on your date. This restaurant serves American as well as continental food. Worthy place to hangout with your date!

Fig and Olive – Located on 808 Lexington Avenue, this place is a small yet comfortable place, it is a perfect blend of good food and great service.  A contemporary ambience and very clean architecture, the food here is affordable and most importantly very savory especially because of the Olives that are used. The wine served here is handpicked from the best regions of the South of France, Italy and Spain. The Mediterranean cuisine prepared in Olive oil is an out of the ordinary experience. The olive oil tasting experience is also great and the best part  it is absolutely complimentary. The appetizers really mean appetite enhancers, with bread sliced into thin pieces and topping include figs and artichokes. One of the best entrees is the Tilapia. Come in and try.

Rosa Mexicano –New York City has three of them in various parts of the city. One is in Lincoln center, the other in Union square and the third in first Avenue.  Well known for Mexican cooking, vibrant interiors and merry ambience, this place is quite happening. The cocktails offered in this restaurant are mind blowing and the not so familiar Mexican version is delicious. The architecture is contemporary and has walls that are vibrantly colored with purples, and reds and oranges etc. The yummy varieties of Mexican delicacies include tortilla soups, field greens salad, crispy chicken tacos etc. Do not forget to savor on some Frozen Pomegranate Margarita which is a specialty of Rosa Mexicano.

Once you have decided to impress her, you should go about it in a stylish and innovative way. You will surely have to make some proper plans also. Just taking her to a exotic restaurant would not be something really romantic. To accompany this, you can in advance reserve your table at these space to avoid yourself from getting into a soup incase it is jam packed. Some flowers, a small memento and some chocolates for the girl would be a very good and obvious idea. Trust me these things do work a lot. What more! Dedicate some music for your gal or ask them to play some of her favorite tunes. The most important thing of all is give her all the attention and respect, greet her , comment on her looks, her dress etc., make her feel really special and important to  you. This will create a difference ambience altogether. Before taking her to any of the restaurants you have to know her taste. If she is fond of Mexican then take her to Rosa Mexicano, if Chinese is what she desires then Mr. Chow is just perfect for her. For an American or continental cuisine kind of taste there is this Blue water Grill and finally for a bit difference experience Fig and Olives would certainly do.

All the above listed Restaurants fall in the best restaurants category, all that you need for the perfect date. Be yourself and indulge in quality time which is going to leave memories you will always love to cherish.

Others say it is the perfect honeymoon resort, the perfect romantic honeymoon getaway.

All of these descriptions fits “The House”. This intimate and very private resort is just an oasis on the busy west coast of Barbados, situated on a glorious stretch of white sand beach.

Totally serene and extremely luxurious, this is a place to relax, it is informal but the sheer understated sophistication and elegance of your surroundings will make you feel special indeed, which of course you should on your honeymoon getaway anyhow.

The accommodation befits a romantic Barbados luxury hotel, in that there are only 34 Junior and one bedroomed suites, the size immediately qualifying The House as a boutique hotel on account of its size. There is a twenty four hour Ambassador Service, and Beach Ambassador Service. Champagne breakfast every day, afternoon tea that quintessentially English custom, and Canapes at sundown, followed by dinner at the renowned Daphne’s Restaurant from London town. This is as close to the perfect honeymoon resort as you can get.

To really enjoy a romantic hotel like “The House” to the full you need to be the kind of person who is looking to be pampered and fussed over by staff who will meet your every need with a smile, and then carry it out quickly and willingly and effectively. That effectively means most people, and if you could cope with a day that begins with a champagne breakfast with your eggs cooked personally for you, then it looks as if “The House” could be perfect for you. Then onto a very comfortable sun bed, and no need to ‘reserve’ one early, because there are plenty. Your morning will be spent relaxing before a satisfying lunch at Daphne’s Restaurant followed by the sunbed interspersed with chilled water, ice cream, and fresh fruit throughout the day. A brief interlude for afternoon tea, and then watching the amazing t sunset armed with a strong cocktail or two.

Out to dinner at a neighbouring restaurant, then back to the hotel for cake and port, then bed in a huge bedroom with a really comfortable bed and lovely crisp white sheets, to hear the sea crashing outside your window, almost so close you feel you could touch it.

You can repeat this exercise, or in this case non exercise for as many days as you choose. It is after all your romantic honeymoon getaway, in a wonderful Barbados luxury boutique hotel called “The House”. The staff will ensure it leaves an indelible memory. It is probably the staff you will remember.
