Romantic Dining
Ten Suggestions For An Intimate Evening, And One You
Already Knew
Whether it's candles, flowers, intimate seating or low
light that makes for your romantic night out, it's always good to have a plan B
ready to go if your first choice is full up. We were honored when a
national publication asked us to share our favorites with them. Of course,
it only made sense that we share our favorites with our readers as well.
For Valentine's Day or a first date here's 10 of our favorites.
We've also added one that's easy to overlook sometimes. The sooner you
make your reservation the better, as many of these places do fill up ahead of
time.

the limit and the occasion deems worthy, Canlis is the place to be. An excellent view of Lake Union from 300 feet up and a broad
array of menu items insures you've spared no expense for an exquisite meal.

Your place
That's right,
your own home may very well be one of the most romantic places of all to eat in
Seattle. There's nothing quite like a intimate meal at home. No
waiting for your table, you select the music, the libations and menu; no wait
service to deal with, and it's all at a fraction of the cost of going out.
Tidy your place up, add some fresh cut flowers and candles, cook or order in and
let the night move at it's own pace.
