Romantic restaurants

Rojo Mexican Bistro

The scene: The name of the newest restaurant on the Nautical Mile is Spanish for red, which of course is the color of love. The restaurant has been thoroughly renovated with a Mexican theme, and a new menu that features authentic Mexican cuisine.

The scene: The lyrics of the song say the "moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's amore." Well, why not bring your love here for pizza at the Pepperoni Grille? The restaurant is in a remodeled, historic building and the food is served in a friendly and casual setting.

The scene: The chefs at Sy Thai prepare a wide variety of dishes that can match your love life. Is it hot and spicy? They have a dish for you. Maybe your tastes are a bit more traditional? Page through the menu and select something that meets your palate.

The scene: An upscale Asian restaurant that offers an array of favorites you would find at most Chinese restaurants, served in a stylish manner. Impress your date by using chopsticks to eat your meal. Remember to use a spoon for your soup.

The scene: Opa! Not sure if you want to drive downtown for a traditional Greek meal with your date? Then head to the Nautical Mile and order your favorites including saganaki, pastistio and ziti. Instead of trying to find interesting conversation topics, you will be looking over a menu and enjoying the company of your Valentine.
